bon jovi - still going strong, but 'sans cheveux'.

does andrew wk count?

Andrew W.K. definitely counts.

Guns 'n' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is gonna sell like hotcakes when it finally comes out.

But they never really went away!

Poison tour every year. Europe re-released the Final Countdown a few years back. Bon Jovi are still one of the world's biggest bands.

What a great list of bands...I wish Skid Row would make a comeback!

Bon Jovi are one of the worlds biggest bands in the same way that the Bee Gees are one of the worlds biggest bands - 1) not really 2) denying their period of peak popularity ("we were never really hair metal").

I'll lay my money on Cinderalla... I think they're touring with Poison right now.

For 'when' read 'if,' surely. Now imagine how long an Axl Rose/Kevin Shields collaboration would take.

Philadelphia's contribution to poodle-metal, Britny Fox, has reformed and apparently will tour. Now aren't you upset that you've moved cross-country, Jess?

Lest anyone has forgotten Britny Fox, here's a refreshing recollection:

Skid Row backwards: Wor Diks

It's impossible to even imagine anyone ever visually embodying poodle rock better than Britny Fox. Appalling name, too.

dAmm here I thought it was a Kim Mitchell thread.

Hairmetal never died on a certain area of Los Angeles. "Sunset Strip: Rockin' like it's 1986". Sad. I imagine all the Trashboy london indie bands are preparing the hair metalreturn as we speak. Tottenham Court Rd: Rockin like Mr Nikki Syxx".
