"david bowie

-- Eisbär (llamasfu...), August 9th, 2004."

Er, I think both (Bowie especially) play up their glam period. It's probably the best time of either of their careers.

Two Times
(1980's rock 'n' roll)

Another decade has come and faded
Another ten years in front of you
To keep us all from going insane
All we gotta do is keep on playin'

Refrain:
(Rock 'n' roll) 1980's
(Rock 'n' roll) Please the ladies
(Rock 'n' roll) Turn it up louder
(Rock 'n' roll) Never been prouder
(1980's)

Two Times
(1980's rock 'n' roll)

C'mon along it's a rock 'n' roll party
And bring your friends and don't be tardy
You're so far out you'll never be in
Until you hear what's happenin'

(Rock 'n' roll) Just the ladies
(Rock 'n' roll) 1980's
(Rock 'n' roll) Turn it up louder
(Rock 'n' roll) Never been prouder
(1980's)

Two Times
(1980's rock 'n' roll)

Artists who act glam, but seem shamefully tough:

Brian Molko

I saw Brian Molko on TV5 tonight. He speaks perfect french.
(Dunno if that makes him wimpy or tough).

Dr. Dre

Yella, too.

I once heard that Metallica were formerly a glam band called Leather Charm! Does anyone know any more about this?

― M Carty (mj_c), Monday, 9 August 2004 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

from http://metallica.users.cg.yu/james.htm

James Hetfield's third band overall, Leather Charm was formed from the members of Phantom Lord, except that James performed sole singing duties (no guitar) and Ron was added to play bass guitar. Completing the line-up were Phantom Lord carry-overs Hugh Tanner and Jim Mulligan.

Leather Charm was more of a glammy attempt at music. The band played originals and covers like Quiet Riot's "Slick Black Cadillac," Iron Maiden's "Remember Tommorrow" and a few others. The band managed to perform at a few parties and recorded a demo, but then began to fall apart.

i think we're talking 70s glam rock.

Fred Durst
Korn
Alice In Chains
Slipknot

Mr. Vikernes played in some death metal bands before Burzum (Satanel/Old Funeral), to call that "wimpy glam" is stretching it quite a bit.
