| | Heavy metal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thrashcore, crust punk and grindcore all have notable influence from both punk and metal. | | | Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavy metal 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, in addition to the sound of the music. | | | Heavy metal, often referred to as simply metal, is a form of music characterised by aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation. |

| | 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. | | | After all, hair metal fans can say, "I miss when the music was loud, the songs were catchy, people were happy, and the musicianship was phenomenal." What are grungies supposed to say? |

| | The Rock Hole: hair metal vs. grunge |
| | Hair metal accuses grunge of having no melody. | | | Anyway, most hair metal fans hate grunge with a passion because they see it as the thing which destroyed their beloved music. | | | I'd always viewed hair metal as a positive musical force; although it was silly and escapist, I felt that the likes of "Nothin' but a Good Time" and "Youth Gone Wild" were essentially songs that celebrated enjoying life, and that's a great thing. |

| | : Hair Metal History : |
| | Hair metal arose in the late 70s as a mix of traditional metal and "arena rock" bands such as Boston, Journey, and Styx. | | | As a result of their mainstream appeal, hair metal bands managed to convert a huge portion of rock fans and sold millions of albums throughout the 80s before their decline at the hands of the Seattle grunge movement. | | | Bands utilized the fledgling music video network as a conduit for flooding the airwaves with images which were meticulously produced spectacles of rock debauchery and angst. |

| | Hair Metal is a derisive term applied to the slick, pretty, and pop-oriented heavy metal and hard-rock bands of the late '80s. | | | Wearing flashy clothing, heavy makeup, and large, teased hair, the bands had an appearance that was more distinctive than their music, though both their look and their sound became a curse in the early '90s. | | | In the glut of hard rock and heavy metal bands of the late '70s, their first albums got somewhat lost in the shuffle, although they were fairly popular in Europe and Japan. |

| | By fusing the limitless possibilities of metal with the pop sensibilities of the 80’s, the music industry inspired a wave of musicians who were judged more on appearances than musical stylings. | | | Before we begin our journey into the inner workings of hair metal, we must first acknowledge that it, as a genre, is easily the least respected branch of "metal" music ever created. | | | The problem with classifying the hair metal genre as “cheesy,” however, is that it neglects the fact that these bands could really play. |

| | As metal with pop-sensibilities, hair metal is caught in the limbo stage between the earlier, musically respectable metal it grew out of and the MTV-driven, image-based pop music of the 80s. | | | It may seem that the majority of people that listen to hair metal either seriously rock out to it or find it hilarious, but this is perhaps a crude method of categorization, for the same features of music can illicit very different but simultaneously occurring reactions in us. | | | I can't listen to hair metal without remembering all the ways in which it has been made fun of and, as a result, I can find humor in it from visual imagery alone. |

| | Pop-metal and hair metal (and the excess and formula that had come to be associated with both) were effectively wiped off the musical map by grunge in 1991; some pop-metal bands continued to record for smaller labels and cult audiences, but the music's reputation had suffered too much to restore its former glamour. | | | Most of the Los Angeles-based bands (where the scene was heavily concentrated) also drew on the elaborate visual stylings of British glam rock, which resulted in the much-maligned "hair metal" boom of the late '80s. | | | But by and large, the hair bands reigned supreme, playing lots of sleazy Aerosmith boogie and big AOR-style power ballads with bits of Van Halen flash; Poison embodied the glammed-up, party-hearty excess of hair metal perhaps better than any. |

For those who need a brief definition, "hair metal" was a style of music that combined elements of pop and heavy metal. | | | While they are just pigeonholed as "just another hair band," Tesla had a lot of musical talent and substance in their songs. | | | As time progressed and as hair metal came to fruition, Dokken jumped on the bandwagon and created a more mainstream sound, and crafted two of the best power ballads of the 80's as far as I'm concerned: "Alone Again" and "It's Not Love." They have that sweet sounding melody mixed with dark, brooding guitar work. |
