Any GLAM METALERS around? - Page 3

MartyStrat54 · 08-23-2009, 06:31 PM

There is an annual mega rock fest held in Pryor, Oklahoma. Lita performed there either one or two years ago. I heard an interview about it. They said she had a personal trainer and got back down to her 80's look. The thing is, she is 50 right now.

I have another chick guitarist that I got to know really well. Maxine Petrucci. She was the lead guitar player in Madam X. Her sister Roxy, was the drummer. The record label pulled Roxy and put her in VIXEN. Of course, Vixen went on to more commercial success. Madam X fired their original lead vocalist, Bret Kaiser and hired a 19 year old Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW). Maxine has got to be my age or older. She did have a new CD out, but it didn't go anywhere. Trying to do glam at 50+ is hard to pull off. Hell, I can't stand seeing the Rolling Stones or the WHO on stage. My God, they have nurses backstage and that ain't no shit. They are prepared for a heart attack or just the old guy running out of oxygen.

If I went and watched 55 year old guys with big hair (excuse me, wigs) playing glam in a bar, I would probably die laughing. To me, rock is like football. It's a young man's game. That's what rock is all about. Now I give credit to bands like Aerosmith who still perform, but I think the day's of Steven Tyler doing back flips is over with. I always like to remember my favorite bands back when they were popular. Not when they are trying to regain some popularity.

Not at my age...but I still have a full head of hair!

You have to consider certain factors to play like that. Age, talent and three lines of coke.

The fastest leads were made possible with a razor on a glass mirror and a white, powdery substance. Maybe Ted Nugent didn't do drugs, but he didn't play like Angelo Batio either. Ted was a bigger success, but not the fastest guitarist by far.

It's really huge. Last year it was three days long with three stages. Massive amounts of big hair/glam bands there in one form or the other. This is becoming the new "Rocklahoma."

What's funny is one of my sisters live there and I have two storage units that I rent there. I went in 2008. What a zoo. Lots of meth heads.

Rocklahoma

On the left, you can scroll down to see all the bands that played there in 2009. All the bands we have been talking about, including ICON played there just a few months ago. Even KEEL got back together for Rocklahoma.

HOT TUBES 70 · 08-23-2009, 11:58 PM

Exactly what I was thinking....one last attempt with a pic?

MartyStrat54 · 08-28-2009, 09:46 PM

Yeah, I was going to bring up Britny Fox, but I'll leave it up to you. I knew a girl that used to sew up all of their stage clothes. Great 80's shot of the band BTW.

rockinr0ll · 08-29-2009, 12:49 AM

Any of you Glam Dudes fans of Jeff Loomis? He really has been impressing me lately with his new solo album. You should check it out, it sounds very good IMO.

She worked for a guy in Hollywood that sold all the studded leather goodies. I guess Rob of Judas Priest was one of his clients. She did Britny Fox and about three or four other bands. Apparently the pants were so tight that they would rip, so she was sewing the pants up quite often. She never said anything bad about them. She actually lived in Phoenix, but worked in both Phoenix and L.A. I dated her for about 2 months and then it was time to move on.

Girlschool-Man I remember their big video on MTV and it was shot in a mock girl's school. Pretty cool! (Or maybe it was shot in a real girl's school, because I remember there were some outdoor shots.) Anyway, would you ever really find a girl's school were all of the girls were "that" hot? Holy Cow!

Yea it would be kind of hard, I know there is an all girl school around where I live but I have never really seen any of them. I know I like most at my school though!

Yea but I really like that song, and closer to your love, and long way to love is another one of their bigger hits. Also, I noticed in girlschool that Michael Kelly Smith used a Les Paul but in others he didnt. You have any idea what he recorded with? Because I really dig his tone.

Any one know a good tab or video lesson for this song?

i was one of those guys that waited way to long to switch from cassette to cd. when i finaly decided to buy cd's, i would buy the cd's of bands that i didnt have. guess what. after many years of playing, the cassettes wore out. so i was stuck trying to find my fav bands, but found out most of them where out of print. thank goodness for ebay, some costed me pennies, but some costed me an arm and a left nut. try finding EZO for $20 bucks, you wont. and the band NITRO is very hard to come by. but over time, i got to say, i have a pretty damn good collection cgoing on, but let me say, it wasnt cheap.

MartyStrat54 · 08-30-2009, 12:25 AM

I'm waiting for Time-Life to come out with an hour long TV commercial with Joan Jett and David Lee Roth selling "The most fabulous collection of 80's GLAM METAL." Yes, Dave and Joan milling through an hour of edited videos of all the great names in GLAM. "Get yours now for just $89.99." "Our 20 CD collection has 306 of the best known GLAM METAL songs." "Pay by credit card and get a bonus CD of obscure GLAM bands that you might not remember."
