Any indie bands? Any bands at all?

Right now, the hot years to steal from are 1979-1984. I expect the GNR and Crue clone bands to start showing up around Christmas.

QOTSA?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah...wha?

― Andrew Frye (paul cox), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

aren't they a *little* bit GNR?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe, if you consider the drug use backstage.

― Andrew Frye (paul cox), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Theres something about the GnR sound thats more... harsh than QOTSA though. More trebly, more bratty, more "fuck you". Whereas QOTSA are laid back stoners.

I cant think of any hoary metally bratty bands currently. And thank christ for it, I hate that kind of music. There was always something kind of ugly about it.

I remember thinking that Buckcherry was going to break big, but thank God I was wrong.

HIM.

They're more like a mix of Queensryche and Mercyful Fate.

― Andrew Frye (paul cox), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

...with a much deeper voiced singer

Backyard Babies?

― Yvonne, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I knew that 1979-84 where the hot years at the moment. And I feel that type of metal is right around the corner (to be cloned).
I was just wondering if there was a band out there yet that might be first out the gate. Or some great band I missed during the last few years. You have garage-blues, post-punk, electro, and disco, new wave is slowly creeping and metal is next.

― dryburn, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Soon we'll be ahead of ourselves and some kind of weird musical black hole will appear.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 05:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Already there, and it's not weird at all:

The 80s heavy metal/thrash revival has been in full swing since the mid 90s (too many bands to mention, but most metal bands today are retro in some way), but apparently everyone is still too embarrassed by the whole glam/makeup/hair scene to revive that. Even the '77-'84 revival only picked the 'cool' bits (synthpop, electro, postpunk, disco) and not Supertramp, Dire Straits or Barbra fucking Streisand.

the darkness

― Robin Goad (rgoad), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

What about Buck Cherry? That I love the cocaine song was an odd 80s throwback hit in the heyday of nu-metal....That song was better than what i've heard from the darkness

Also, half those LA pop metal acts are still making records regularly, if you check out metalsludge.com they will probably fill you in...

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

haha Radiohead = Supertramp revival

Also, 80s hair/buttrock seems to have missed the boat already - today's commercial rock/mallcore bands have leapfrogged that style and are using early 90s bands as their template: Faith No More, Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Pantera, Pearl Jam. The more I think of it, the more the glam/LA scene seems like the tail end of the 70s stadium rock tradition - by then fundamentally uncool music whose entire paradigm is of an age gone by and which, unlike synthpop, disco, hiphop or postpunk never felt fresh or new. Why model yourself after the tired rock 'n roll cliches of Guns 'n Roses or Bon Jovi when going directly to AC/DC is so much cooler? The same reason why people can still have fond memories of, say, Technotronic, but nobody will ever be inspired to follow in the footsteps of Ian Van Dahl or fucking XTM. It's always the exciting moment of a birth of a new sound that people will remember fondly, not its autumn years.

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Siegbran's right....history has somewhat erased Guns'n'Roses' name from the pantheon of the eternally cool.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

History didn't erase, Axl did the erasing all too damn easily.

i specifcally wanna know about contemporary women's hair metal, if theres any.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm sure there's at least one female hair metal band in melbourne right now

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 23:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not talking about or looking for your typical stadium rock or hair band. But a band thats sleazy raw un-pc ass kicking rock. The mild satanic musing of shout at the devil could be included.

― dryburn, Wednesday, 10 September 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The Donnas?

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

"Tongues (Everybody's Got One)" by The Modey Lemon sounds exactly like the main riff of "Welcome to the Jungle"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Each Buckcherry album has 4-5 good songs. If all those tracks had been combined into a single disc, they'd have been huge. Oh, well.

six months pass...

I have been wanting the 80s big hair bands to come back, and strong. I only can drea of the day when sexy men grow there hair out and rock down the house like it was in 86 87 88 89! I guarantee if a bands were to come out with the voiices like Bret Michaels, Jon BonJovi, Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil, The Damn Yankees, etc... I guarantee, they would be millionaires before ya knew it, but you have to have the sexy long hair, and the outstanding pure voice!!!
