Queensryche's not hair metal.
oh gawd here it comes :doh:.....formed in 1982 and considered 'hair' metal before some the the bigs like Whitesnake and Def Leppard.
I can't help that they're talented and non-glam, they are included in the definition
Nope. If you really listen to their music, they're nothing like the other bands on this list. They don't fit the genre and they never have. They're a closer brethren to the Thrash metal bands although they don't fit in that genre either.
They opened for Metallica on Metallica's Justice tour and their own Mindcrime tour back in the late 80s. Hair metal bands couldn't come close to a Metallica gig. I saw that show twice, both times through Philadelphia. And I saw Q on their Empire tour when Alice in Chains just broke out and opened up for them.
I just read the list of top 20 hair metal/ glam bands, didn't come here for an opinion-based argument
Is this ok according to your opinion?
:tup: sure it is...

Those lists are wrong. Sorry, dude.
The lists are ALWAYS RIGHT! :x
and since I'm trying desperately to forget about every song/band that is/will be listed in this thread except Queensryche...let me have my moment :(
What? Some of the hair bands actually had good songs. Not many, but there are some.
And no, any band that can put out masterpieces like Rage For Order and Operation Mindcrime, that's not hair metal at all. If you sit down and really listen to hair metal bands, there's a common thread that persists in their music. That thread doesn't exist in Queensryche's music. It never has. They could have very easily fallen into that trap, but they intentionally steered their music in another direction.
Listen to Queensryche all you want. They're a good band, or at least they used to be. You don't need a thread to enjoy it.
I've always considered Judas Priest and Iron Maiden as hair metal bands...some will argue that point too.
as yes, I will listen to Queensryche all I want, thank you! :lol:
:hand:
Priest and Maiden are definitely NOT hair bands. Priest came close with that piece of shit Turbo, but they pulled back. Interesting to note that Whitesnake was not always a hair metal band. They were originally blues rock. But Coverdale saw an opening to greater money and exposure and he took it.
maiden :lol: Eddie kept them from being associated with hair bands. agree w dgx...
except for fuckin queensryche. they are totally a ghey hair band, I couldnt fuggin stand them.
Queensryche is as close to being a hair metal band as you are close to being a black man.Quote:

hehehe....agreed about maiden, but the fact about queensryche is every bit as applicable as pantera's early days qualifying for the list :PQuote:

Close to 2 years later and Queensryche is still not a hair metal band. Never was. If you listen to the first 4 song EP, they sound nothing like the crap that hair metal bands were putting out at the same time.
What Pantera started out as has no bearing on anything.
makes me wonder what actually makes a band qualify as hair metal to you...Quote:
