| | Glam metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music, that arose in the late 1970s in the United States. | | | Ozzy Osbourne went glam and made the album The Ultimate Sin, which hit the top of the Billboard 200 and became his highest charting album. | | | Glam metal was aggressive, with lyrics often focusing on girls, drinking, drug use, and the occult. |

| | Heavy metal music |
| | Whereas a painting is experienced visually, while a symphony is an audible experience, a band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, and the sound of the music. | | | Death Metal: Extreme music with low-pitched guitars and growling vocals. | | | Stoner metal, with its heavy, sometimes slow and sludgily distorted riffs and the obvious influence of psychedelic music, creates a sound that is strongly reminiscent of the 1970s metal of Black Sabbath, Budgie, and similar bands. |

| | Metal-Rules.com - Staff Editorial - From Hell's Heart... Glam Metal IS Metal! |
| | If glam bands can blow away most mallcore bands and glam are the lightweights of the METAL genre, it is not a glowing endorsement of mallcore as a heavy music form. | | | Glam metal has a place if for no other reason than that many metalheads still have a connection with this genre, and unlike mallcore, it still pays homage to the fact that the genre is rooted in metal and not rap and hardcore. | | | Mallcore is alienated from metal, musically, because it is based on alien musical influences, namely rap. |

| | glam metal rock and pop music |
| | The buzzword now is crossover, with metal and hardcore meeting in metalcore, industrial metal which borrows the electronics of the techno sound, alternative metal bringing in the sounds of grunge and punk, funk metal, and rap metal or rap core. | | | Glam came in on the platform heels of heavy metal, so named by a Steppenwolf tune which referred to the motorcycle sound of "heavy metal thunder." The music had a harder edge to it, some say as a backlash to the sweet sounds of the Summer of Love. | | | Metal music seemed to divide, amoeba like, forming many offshoots including progressive, power, hardcore, thrash metal which split off into death, grindcore, and black metal. |

| | This is actually a great song by this glam metal band that tells a poignant story of murder and cover-up. | | | While it may not be as glam as many of the other songs on this tape, this is an intense, impactful metal song that has a very funky beat to it. | | | This is actually one of my favorite glam songs of all time. |

| | He felt that by replacing the happy, uplifting sounds of pop metal with his depressing dirges, he was taking music forward. | | | Most 80s rock bands wrote lyrics that were frankly degrading. | | | Warrant's and Tesla's biggest hits were not until 1991, and Def Leppard spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard album chart in 1992. |

| | Musically, glam married the catchy melodicism of pop and the energetic guitar crunch of rock, while indulging in a campy, grandiose sense of theatricality and far-out lyrical sensibilities often shaded by the influences of fantasy and science fiction. | | | Glam would fall by the mid-'70s, but its sound and aesthetic resurfaced in arena rock and some punk later that decade, as well as in '80s hair metal and early '90s Brit-pop. | | | A product of the British art-rock explosion of the late 1960s, glam rock took the idea of rock music as entertainment to new heights. |

| | HIGH BIAS -- Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman |
| | He knows that to argue for glam metal's musical merit in comparison to other, more critic-friendly bands is a battle he'll lose (due more to indifference, if not outright hostility, on the part of his opponents than on merit of any counterarguments). | | | It was the 1980s and what Klosterman calls glam metal was what little boys of all ages (well, those between 10 and 18) listened to. | | | Rather, he argues that this music stirred the hearts of its intended audience in ways other, later music has not. |

| | Denim and Leather - Thesaurus |
| | Whereas the American Death Metal bands were quite Metal oriented, the English counterparts to a larger extent got their inspiration from grind and punk rock. | | | Glam Metal is basically the Heavy Metal variation of Glam Rock. | | | The reason for this was perhaps that the Glam Metal bands were musically generally more pop oriented than most other Metal acts, and the popier, more mainstream side of Heavy Metal was always more popular in the USA. |

| | Money, not musical value, is what chiefly concerns the proponents of the mainstream; that which concerns the metal underground is musical expression, and so much more attention and care is given to the music as a whole, and it shows. | | | It is that atmosphere that is most definitively "metal." Even the so-called really heavy bands that pollute commercial radio such as Godsmack (a personal favorite of mine to criticize) and Korn just don't have this feeling in their music. | | | The sounds of a metal stamping plant, of drills and presses had a profound effect upon the pure Heaviness that was given birth through music. |

| | Now if you can't hear the sound of 80's glam metal guitars in "Gong Show" then your ears should take notice (as mine did) in "Waikiki." But don't let me fool you, I do believe there is sort of a funky sound in the guitars of "Waikiki" to go along with the glam metal sound. | | | They may be sort of modern sounding, but these ears detect hints of the glam metal sounds of guitars and drums. | | | They are rock, but the glam metal influence is there, it may not be really noticable to everyone, but to the metal ear it is. :) The fifth and last song in Speck's set is "Salvation" by The Cranberries. |

| | The tempo (at least with respect to metal) range runs from doom metal on the slow end, to the frenetic paces of speed metal, black metal, and grindcore. | | | For example, the term glam is sometimes used to refer to all varieties of '80s "hair metal", whereas it is also used to denote "leather-and-lipstick" hard rock. | | | Then there are the offshoots from these continua (like light that is bent away via a mirror): sleaze glam (a mix of hard rock and punk elements) and prog rock/metal (hard rock and metal that leaves the traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus-chorus structure behind and is more free-flowing). |

| | Whereas the old Poison was a half-and-half mix of women's fashion and pop metal, the band today is free of its once self-imposed sartorial constraints, free to concentrate on re-creating all those hits and fan favorites from its glory years. | | | It's now a yearly occurence — Poison brings along a few '80s metal bands happy to be drawing breath much less touring, and then the headliners close out the show with a performance that blows away those lesser bands. | | | Enuff Z'nuff, Chicago's meager entrant in the '80s glam gold rush, did a half-hour of tunes that owed more to straight-ahead rock than the screaming-guitar, screaming-vocal tradition of metal. |
