'Dog Eat Dog' - Warrant was a top release for me. The songs were very different, almost experimental. 'April 2031' and 'Andy Warhol Was Right' made you sit up and say "whoooah...what?"!! 'The Bitter Pill' has opera on it!!! Production of the album was superb! I think Dog Eat Dog still holds up and from the heavy 'Machine Gun' to the last track 'Sad Theresa', there is not one bad track on the whole CD!!
Oh and by the way, April 2031 is only 10 years off!!!
I love this album
That's a damn good album.
Poetic Justice by Lillian Axe would totally fit this episode or the more obscure list. A very underrated band and this is my favorite by them.
Hi Tim, yes Lillian Axe would totally fit. Poetic Justice or the follow up album are both really good. The band has morphed and gone through a lot of changes but this is the period of love the best.
Lilian Axe were too heavy to call it Glam and Poetic Justice is awesome...
Hold Your Fire by Firehouse is sounding really good. I'm not a Glam/Hair metal expert but i have listen to it and i must say i like the album. Outstanding riffing and an excellent vocal performance. The tune Talk To The Town is a typical Ace Frehley song. The great riffing could be of him.
Firehouse was an above average band in the genre. If they had come out earlier they would have been part of the top tier of 80’s rock bands. Still they did pretty well and made a nice mark for themselves and think this 2nd album shows they were no one hit wonders.
The early 90's a ton of bands from that era put out their best work...it just didn't do well commercially because of the genre trends that wouldn't give it a chance.
Motley Crue-self titled John Corbai, their best album, amazingly produced and heavy!
Poison-Native Tongue- Two words Ritchie Kotzen!
Warrant-Dog Eat Dog- this is the band's best and sadly overlooked.
King's X-Dogman- these guys were doing grunge before it was a thing.
Stryper-Against the Law-This should have taken them to the next level.
Skid Row-Subhuman Race-This was a modern/grunge masterpiece.
I plan on doing more of these Top 5 countdown videos for the years 1993, 1994, and 1995. There was still so much great music being released even though it flew under the radar.
@@BrendonSnyder - thanks, you just answered the question I was going to ask, with what I was hoping to hear.
I’ve got one I’m posting tomorrow for supergroups of 1991!
Brendon...impressed. Watched one of your vids for first time 10 minutes ago and you already mentioned Zakk Wylde doin cameo with Britney Fox ("Six Guns Loaded"), "Tear Down the Walls" by Kix +"Same Jane", you mentioned one of my fave bands... Extreme, and now i see you wearing a Tora Tora t-shirt! You're crushing it!! Good times!👍
Haha...thanks I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! I’m currently on a Glam Metal kick and digging deep into different bands and years of the era. But I’m a fan of lots of different eras of music. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the rest my channel has to offer. Thanks for stopping by and watching!
Steelheart are awesome. Saw them live once many moons ago. Best singer ever!! Dog Eat Dog is my number one Warrant album.
The singer of Steelheart actually sang for the reunited line-up of The Doors but by that point they were in many law suits and had to play under the name D21C which stood for Doors Of The 21st Century. I probably listen to Dog Eat Dog more than any other of Warrant’s albums simply because it wasn’t worn out by radio and MTV.
Great shirt :) Here's my hairy ´92:
1. SVEN GALI - Sven Gali (that is right, Liebchen!) :)
2. GREAT WHITE - Psycho City
3. LITTLE CAESAR - Influence
4. EXTREME - III Sides To Every Story
5. JACKYL - same
Another brilliant album is THUNDER's Laughing on judgement day, but I guess it's even more bluesy oriented than Great White. Anyway, cheers from germoney
Great list Marc!! Big fan of Little Caesar especially that second album with Earl Slick in the line up. The album by Saints & Sinners feature a lot of co-writes with Aldo Nova who produced it too.
Brilliant list!!! I love that Firehouse album, interestingly, I like 4/5 tracks off that album, their “good” tracks are fricking amazing! (Love hold the dream!)
Hi Tim! Yeah that Firehouse is solid start to finish. IMO there is not a weak track on the album. I actually listen to the 2nd album more than their debut which is also amazing.
Great choices. I’ve had all of the mentioned albums since 1992. Cool thing is that I saw Trixter and Great White open for KISS in 1992 when all 3 of the albums mentioned had just come out.
Saigon Kick was a brilliant band. Genre-bending.
They absolutely were! I really wish Jason Beiler would re-activate the band snd record a new album. He just released a great solo album albeit different than Saigon Kick.
I was just listening to the Lizard and the debut today.Crazy albums all over the place
@@scotty666tt The Lizard is totally underrated...
Love/Hate "Wasted in America" was my fave from 92. Glam leanings with alternative mixed in.
Huge fan of Jizzy Pearl and Love/Hate
I bought that when it came out, love it
This video is the proof that although the genre was in decline or off radar or with low popularity or whatever, the bands continued to produce quality albums. I wll mention also Cinderella with "Still Climbing" from 1994.
I plan to do this type of video for 1993 and 1994 because you’re right it did continue and there were some great album.
@@BrendonSnyder Don't forget 1995.
Firehouse "I live my life for you". Nr. 26 on the Bilboard Hot 100. In the middle of the alternative rock dominance and of course GnR with " The Spagheti Incident?" in 1993 that reached platinum status on January 26, 1994.
Did Winger’s Pull come out in 92 or 93?
Talk about a killer album!! Reb Beach’s playing is just on a whole other level compared to his contemporaries.
Winger Pull is 1993 and will definitely be included when I do a Top 5 of 1993. An absolutely classic IMO.
@@BrendonSnyder Agreed I’ll look forward to that episode. Thanks
Winger’s Pull is a great album and my fav of theirs!
@@SpaceAce2022 Agree 100%
Would love a remaster with bonus tracks of this one!
Great choices.I listened to Saigon Kicks The Lizard cassette to death when it came out. Heavy Bones st kind of flew under everyone's radar I think but is another great album from 1992.
That is a great one with Gary Hoey on guitar, Fankie from Quiet Riot on drums and Joel from Cats In Boots on vocals . It was like a mini supergroup.
I'm surprised that you didn't pick Wild America, based on your shirt and featured items in the background.
My top 5 would be:
1. Giant - Last of the Runaways
2. Rhino Bucket - Get Used to It
3. Thunder - Laughing on Judgement Day
4. Hardline - Double Eclipse
5. Def Leppard - Adrenalize
Honorable mentions: Firehouse & Little Caesar, but could also add Babylon AD, Bonham, Damn Yankees, Extreme, Kiss, Lynch Mob, Slaughter, Sleeze Beez, Tora Tora, 21 Guns, & Ugly Kid Joe. Lots of great stuff in 1992!
Yes I love Tora Tora but I’ve been on the fence about them being Glam Metal. The first album totally is, but the second album is more blues rock. But also it just comes down to limited space on a Top 5 list. So I wore the shirt to give them a shout out.
Great video!! Dog Eat Dog, Adrenalize, Hold Your Fire are favorites along with others from 1992. I don't care what it's called, just good stuff in my opinion. When I Look Into Your Eyes is one of my favorite ballads in general.
While Firehouse did have a good amount of success at the time they haven’t managed to hold onto it. I wish the band was still together making new music today.
@@BrendonSnyder True. I wish so too. Be a great live show too I think.
Awesome list, that Great White album is amazing!
Psycho City is one of a kind! Great White with Jack Russell always remained at a high quality with their output.
I'm 46, back then we just called rock n roll or hard rock, it's today fans and media who put the label glam metal(actually it's glam rock), hair metal, pop metal bla bla bla.... I've never heard anyone says 'hairmetal' in 80s-90s, I'm a big fan of Poison, Cinderella, Ratt but 'hairmetal' sounded really weird.
There is always one of you who want to try and redefine things. I’m 44 and lived through it as well and the term Glam Metal was absolutely used at least by 1989....it’s in tons of publications like Metal Edge, Rip Magazine and Karrang. I appreciate your opinion and I wish there was a better term. Bottom line it’s a term that everyone knows what I mean when I use it. That’s why I’m fine with qualifying under Glam Metal and Hair Bands. But thanks for your input.
@@BrendonSnyder Definitely glam metal/hair band was a thing . I think late 80’s , early 90’s bands were called Glam Metal to separate it from Glam Rock 70’s bands like Sweet , Bowie , Slade etc...Either way , if you use hair metal or glam metal it is fairly obvious the era or type of bands you mean .
Hi Tom, that is exactly true. Glam Rock as a genre already existed so they changed it to Glam Metal. Poison would refer to themselves in interviews as Glam Metal. If nothing else the term Glam was definitely used at the time.
Nah..I remember interview in the 80s where Faster Pussycat laughing at the terms glam rock, they said it not even a music..
@@TomDcanada 'hair metal' was a mocking name made up by haters after grunge took place.
1992 have a great albums and i like all the albums on your list Warrant it's my favorite of yor list
Thanks Dave! Interesting I’m hearing from lots of people who really love Dog Eat Dog. Far more than would ever have admitted it at the time. It just proves there was still great music happening at the time.
I thought for sure you were going to have Tora's Tora's Wild America, ha. Warrant's Dog Eat Dog is stellar, every track is great.
Yeah I had to show them some love! Just too many great albums to include them all.
1. Faster Pussycat - Whipped
2. Def Leppard - Adrenalize
3. Firehouse - Hold Your Fire
4. Warrant - Dog Eat Dog
5. Tora Tora - Wild America
You had the right shirt on. Tora Tora Wild America is the best of those in 1992. Amnesia, Wild America and Shattered are great tracks. I think its as good as the debut, Surprise Attack
Hi David! Yeah just too many to include all. Untimely I felt Tora Tora had dropped the “glam metal” sound of the debut by the time of Wild America so I chose not to include them. But I had to represent them for sure!! Highly underrated band!
@@BrendonSnyder Not sure Tora Tora ever had the glam metal sound, at least to my ears. They were always straight hard rock, with quite a bit of blues influence.
Tora Tora were not Glam ...A Straight hard rock band and I prefer Wild America over Surprise Attack...
Wow. In 20+ years, this video is going to be archeological gold.
I took full notes again and am making another playlist, hehe!
Love it. Yer like Eddie Trunk, Jr.
I hope these videos are still being enjoyed by a new generation in 20 years discovering these great bands!! That would be the best I could hope for!
Saigon Kick the Lizard is my favorite. I think Water would be a close second. I love their cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity.
Interesting as the only thing I don’t like about Water is the David Bowie cover. Not because I don’t like David Bowie or they didn’t do a good job, just that the song is too recognizable and popular as a David Bowie song. I would have preferred it moved to later in the album or better that they had picked a less prominent song. But i agree Water is a great album and second for me as well.
While I like anything by Saigon Kick, I still think their first album was the better one. Some of those songs are just downright disturbing. The Lizard was quite a bit more "commercial" than the debut.
"All alright" is the best song by them for me
Great video man. My fave genre
Thanks Camilo, mine too!
Whoa Mr Synder..for the first time i agree 100% with the rankings..i hv 4 of them and that Firehouse is ace. Definitely a big like🤗
Excellent!! You’re probably the only one who will agree with me but that’s what’s great! Everyone has different tastes and opinions and makes this world go around.
Great albums indeed!
Here’s a few more I really dig:
Heavy Bones - s/t
House of Lords - Demons Down
Von Groove - s/t
Bangalore Choir - On Target
Wildside - Under the Influence (my top pick of 1992!)
Hardline - Double Eclipse
Great King Rat - s/t (Swedish band)
W.A.S.P - Crimson Idol
Giant - Time to Burn
Triumph - Edge of Excess (pretty underrated in my opinion)
From The Fire - Thirty Days and Dirty Nights
Take care 🤟🏻
That's a fantastic list! Nice to see From the Fire there! And I agree about "Edge of Excess" being underrated!
@@michaelhenderson5946
🙂👍🏻
Certainly 1992 was sort of the beginning of the end for this style of music, but it was a pretty good year overall (I could have included a dozen more great albums!)
Oh yeah Bangalore Choir and Heavy Bones for sure!! Fantastic albums! For me those two were far more obscure. I am putting together a Best Obscure Glam Metal Albums episode of which these may be included....the list just keeps growing and growing and growing....haha
@@BrendonSnyder
Looking forward to it!!
That Triumph album was definitely overlooked, and underrated, as were the ones by Giant and House Of Lords.
you are so right there was many great bands and albums still going at this time, it was all down to the media , press and industry wanting a new sound and direction so they could extract more money from the youth, who did not seem to have a direction so were lead down the road of this new movement. But saying that away from the grunge sound many a good band could be found under the radar you just had to dig a little deeper, and as we know music is a very subjective media for which we need to be thankful.
Hi Jane! Yeah I don’t put it all on the backs of grunge musicians for killing of glam/hair metal. There were so many good bands that continued well into 1993 and 1994. By this point a number of the big bands from 1990 and 1991 from before grunge were trying to put out follow-up albums hoping that enough time had passed they could release a new album and they would still be taken seriously. We now know that didn’t work out for most bands. But so many good albums flew under the radar at the time most people missed out.
Hardline - Double Eclipse was my fav
Great album!
Youre info is top draw brendon as always mate
Makes me search youtube to listen then off to ebay.
Great to have new finds! I hope you enjoy the ones you choose to pick up.
Great video, Brendon. I need to give some these a chance. Hardline's and Von Groove's debut albums were released in 1992. Both were terrific albums that did not get much push. House of Lords Demon's Down and WASP's Crimson Idol were also great.
I’m a big fan of Hardline’s Double Eclipse album. A few people have mentioned Von Groove. I’ve heard the name but never checked them out so I’ll have to look into them.
Came here to say Von Groove as well. What a fantastic album , underrated.
Great list! I got Firehouse's debut album in the mail yesterday. Love this band. Wish they release some new material. Hold Your Fire is excellent. Haven't spinned any Warrant in such a long time. Cheers 🍻.
Do you have all 7 of their studio albums? They have quite a lot to dig into if you’ve only got the debut. Also the lead vocalist has a band called Rubicon Cross and the guitarist has a number of solo albums including one that was just released. All worth checking out.
@@BrendonSnyder i am still missing a couple of their albums. Will definitely check out those side projects. Thanks for the hint 🍻.
1. Extreme "3 Sides..."
2. Love/Hate "Wasted in America"
3. Lillian Axe "Poetic Justice"
4. Bon Jovi "Keep The Faith"
5. Warrant "Dog Eat Dog"
Its a tough call between Jovi and Warrant, I could easily swap these two out for one another.
Honorable mention: Jackyl debut album
It is funny that your favorite Warrant song is my least favorite on that album.
My favorite is probably Andy Warhol Was Right or Hole In My Wall.
I wonder if anyone remembers Shannon Doherty and her Slaughter video appearance. As far as I know she's in the where are they now category
Great list, I’m a fan of Love/Hate as well. Very underrated band! Jizzy Pearl is a sold rock performer. Regarding Shannon Doherty she currently has stage IV cancer and is not expected to make it.
@@BrendonSnyder oh my, I did not know that at all. Hadn't thought about her in a long time and then you mentioned her in this video
great stuff Brendon!
Thank you Chris!
Mine would be:
1. Warrant "Dog Eat Dog"
2. Wildside "Under the Influence"
3. Lillian Axe "Poetic Justice"
4. Babylon A.D. "Nothing's Sacred"
5. Bad4Good "Refugee"
Your KISS "Revenge" CD looks signed! Awesome! Who signed it?
Oh yeah, haha...I meant to say something about that and forgot! It’s signed by Bruce Kulick. I met him a few years later when he was promoting and doing in store signings with Union. So I also got my Motley Crue 1994 and The Scream albums signed by John Corabi. Wildside and Babylon AD are fantastic and great bands! Absolutely love them too!
@@BrendonSnyder Awesome! I got him to sign my "Revenge" as well - caught him backstage at a Grand Funk Railroad show in like 2005 or so.
That’s awesome! Glad you had the same experience.
Bon jovi keep the faith came out in 92 its an underrated record
Hi Nico! Yes I did consider Bon Jovi but like Def Leppard just get they really didn’t fit the category as the bad had risen album it. It’s sort of like GNR. They are part of the Glam Metal/Hair Band era but they rose above it an no one thinks of them as that today despite sound and appearance at the time.
There shouldve been another 2 singlds like woman in love and if i was your mother
Kiss was amazing.
1. Extreme - 3 Sides
2. Saigon Kick - The Lizard
3. Lynch Mob - Lynch Mob
4. Faster Pussycat - Whipped
5. Love/Hate - Wasted In America
6. T-Ride - T-Ride
7. Tora Tora - Wild America
8. TNT - Realized Fantasies
9. Dirty Looks - 5 Easy Pieces
10. Great White - Psycho City
Honorable Mentions:
Bad4Good - Refugee
Kiss - Revenge
Electric Boys - Grooves Maximus
Yeah I think I could have done with 10 as well! So many good albums. Of course I love the Tora Tora and also love Dirty Looks and Love/Hate.
@@BrendonSnyder Dirty Looks is kind of a local favorite as a few of their releases (and related bands like Rumbledog and Burning Orange) were released on Mirror Records, the label of local landmark House Of Guitars. They played here in Rochester a lot. RIP Henrik...
I’m a fan of the 2 Rumble Dog albums as well. Such a great talent. It’s a shame he is gone.
That Kiss is my favorite. I love that Siagon Kick album. Firehouse is hit or miss for me. Nice list.
That was my first Kiss album. From there I had to have it all! Haha
Couldnt get into warrant but loved the first two.
I wasn’t into Dog Eat Dog at the time either. It wasn’t until the late 90’s when I was really missing glam metal bands and I went back to pick up albums i over looked at the time. Then I found how great it was.
Digging the Tora Tora shirt, benefit blu ray, and the Wild America album. Love that group and glad to be in Memphis during that time. Great memories at some shows at the Omni New Daisy. And before Wild America was released, you could get a Wild America cassette sampler at any Cats Records in Memphis. Fun times. I still have mine. Btw - Psycho City is my fav GW album!
Was there anything rare or unreleased on the sampler or was it just material from the new album? I used to love picking those samplers up when available especially if there was something unique about it. For me, my favorite Great White album is Hooked, but Psycho City is my second favorite.
Nothing unreleased or rare. Side 1 was the Amnesia song. Side 2 were snippets from 4 songs on the album. You probably have them, but the 3 demos on FnA records give you all of the rare stuff- Bombs Away, Miss B Haven, and Before and After.
Great list! I would have included Wildside and Roxy Blue. They both came out in 1992.
Both are great bands indeed. And Roxy Blue is back with a new album too. Wildside were amazing and released one of the best albums in 1992 for sure. I’m actually saving them for a best of “obscure” glam metal bands episode.
“I live in Hollywood, right beneath the stars”. Jani genius! Think about that line.
I love lyrics like that would double meanings. It opens the song up for more interpretations.
Loved Firehouse album. They are another band that sound as good today as they did then. Also, loved Dog Eat Dog.
You’re right about Firehouse. I really wish they’d record a new album. It’s been ages since their last. Bill Leverty just put out a great solo album.
I remember seeing an interview with Joe Elliott and he said that Adrenalize was their 'glam metal' album and has a love/hate relationship with it. But I do agree with you Brendon about your comments on Bon Jovi, GnR and Def Leppard. At the end of the day they are all rock bands and great live.
I love how Joe will absolutely despise and say they are not a glam metal or hair band in one interview and then in another say something like this haha!
Hold Your Fire was awesome.....
That band while big and even able to hang on well into the 90’s should have been a lot bigger.
@@BrendonSnyder 1995 they had a top 30 single with I Live My Life For You
I love my 80s hair bands but by 1992, I was in college and really got into Alice In Chains, Metallica, Pantera etc, so I kinda missed of the the later albums put out by the glam bands.
IMO 1992 was still a great year for Glam Metal. Lots of classic sounding albums still came out.
I believe till 1994 hard rock/AOR (not really glam any more) releases were super good. See some from '92:
Giant - Time To Burn
Saints & Sinners - Saints & Sinners
Holy Soldier - Last Train
Yeah bands started dropping the glam image and sound by 1991. Even Poison stripped most of that away especially on their 1993 Native Tongue album. But the bands that came out during the glam era who continued still made some amazing albums for sure.
Great video. My top 5 would be as follows...
1. Warrant - Dog Eat Dog
2. Hardline - Double Eclipse
3. Gotthard - S/T
4. House of Lords - Demons Down
5. Lynch Mob - S/T
HM: Firehouse - Hold Your Fire 👍
Hi Shaun! Yes Lynch Mob is a fantastic album for sure!! There were so many great albums during the last hurrah of 1992! Maybe it needed to be a Top 10 or 20 haha
@@BrendonSnyder thanks for the response Brendon, yes '92 was a great year for this type of rock music. Shame grunge came along and damaged the reputation and careers of so many great bands. Keep up the good work 👍
Man that Hardline album is sooo good, it just sucks it didn't get the attention it deserved.
@@jeremydean6320 I agree! I still buy all their albums but none are as good as that debut 👍
Jerusalem Slim came out in 1992, the self titled and only release that featured Michael Monroe and Steve Stevens. Did you like that one?
Yes, great album. In fact I was just listening to it a few days ago.
Hey Brendon -- Kept waiting for you to talk about Tora Tora - 'Wild America' (with it on the shelf in the background + your TT shirt). And I'm sure you have all of these in your collection, but for your viewers some other 1992 glam/AOR releases to check out are...
Faster Pussycat - 'Whipped' | Hardline - 'Double Eclipse' | Lynch Mob - s/t | Saints & Sinners - s/t | Slik Toxik - 'Doin' The Nasty' | Unruly Child - s/t | Von Groove - s/t
Hi Jared, just too many great albums is what it is. Love Tora Tora as you can see but by 1992 they had stripped that glam sound away and were more blues rock. I heavily debated but decided they didn’t fall under Glam Metal. It’s such a ubiquitous term but really doesn’t speak to all the bands that got labeled with it. Like Great White. But you’re right about Faster Pussycat and Lynch Mob. I’m putting together a best of the obscure glam metal bands of which Slik Toxik is currently part of....but who knows what will happen by the time I film it....haha
Lillian Axe 'Poetic Justice' was another 1992 release. Super excited for your upcoming lesser-known glam band video! Always enjoy learning about those hidden gems.
Fire House is awesome, Warrant Pick is good had They had better stuff earlier. Extreme’s 3 side to every story was the best album of that year... without a doubt in my opinion
I love the Extreme album too but for me it lost a lot of what I liked about the 2nd album and it seemed a little over bloated. If the songs had been a bit more edited and the album a bit shorter I think it would have been better. But still that album continued to do well long after it came out despite the times. I’m looking forward to the new Extreme album when it gets released.
1992 was the last hurrah for major labels putting out solid hard rock albums. Don’t forget these gems:
Roxy Blue - Want Some
Jackyl - Self Titled
Wildside - Under The Influence
Bad4Good - Refugee
Saints & Sinners - Self Titled
Fantastic list! Jackyl for sure. Love Saints & Sinners especially since Aldo Nova was involved with them. Wildside is absolutely an amazing album. I’m saving them for a best of obscure glam metal list that I’m working on 😉
Wildside is in my top three of all time
Awesome list...
Warrant “ Dog Eat Dog “ is a great choice , it’s the only Warrant I own and it is the perfect mix of their styles , less glammy with heavier guitars . Hard to decide what is glam metal , is it the look or the music ? Going by the look , then Love / Hate “ Wasted In America “ would be my favorite 1992 release , then Faster Pussycat “ Whipped “ , Electric Boys “ Groovus Maximus “ and followed up by House Of Lords “ Demons Down “ . Just pulled the CDs out for a listen , cheers .
Omg yes Love/Hate!! Fantastic band! But you’re right...it’s such a broad term used to describe an time period and look of bands more than a sound. Who really qualifies is always up for debate. I’m also a fan of Faster Pussycat and the Electric Boys....can’t wait for their new album!
Hardline - Double Eclipse
Great band and album!
I love your top 2 picks. The first 2 albums by both those bands are awesome and imo both those bands are very underrated.
Days Gone By imo is slightly better then Fly To The Angels cause i love piano based ballads more.
Hi Billy! For me Fly To The Angels was so overplayed at the time I still can’t listen to it now so I’m far more happy with Days Gone By as well. The whole second album is outstanding IMO. If it had come out a year earlier it probably would have been a much bigger album.
I deff agree man. But you know what they say timing is everything.
Soooooo TRUE!
Adrenalize was so good.
Very good for the time but I find myself listening to less as time goes on. The album feels forced in some parts like they were trying for hits or hysteria part 2. Not to say it’s bad, but some of it doesn’t sound as original as hysteria did.
The first three of your top 5 (Trixter, Saigon Kick and Warrant) are great records. Not sure that I'd even have 'Adrenalize' as an honourable mention, though. I found that to be such a huge let down.
Dog eat Dog is a badass album! Love Bonfire and The Hole in my wall. Not a bad song on the whole record.
It’s definitely a better album than it got credit for at the time.
I’ve long said that if Saigon Kick put the same music out two years later with different marketing, they would have been bigger.
It’s quite possible. But I think they did ok as they were. A #12 hit and a Gold album is still impressive. They still had a lot of elements that were metal and if they put it out later that part may have worked against them. So it could go either way.
1992 really was THE curtain call for glam/commercial metal....lots of great last gasps before grunge came in and destroyed real rock music forever. This list is good....but if you want some unbelievably great glam metal from 1992, check out "Under the Influence" from Wildside. Holy cow what a smoker!
Quick thought about grunge I just bought candlebox's cd collection. I just watched something on TH-cam about how Candlebox destroyed the grunge era because they not originally from Seattle but,some band members moved to Seattle from Texas.
I don’t think Candlebox had anything to do with the downfall of Grunge. It just burned itself out the way Punk did.
The only album I have out of the bunch is Damn Yankees. I did see Warrant, Slaughter and Firehouse perform though and actually met Slaughter and Firehouse. The singer for Warrant was a total drunken fool at the time (can't recall his name) and seemed to be trying really hard to be something he wasn't quite able to pull off. He died not too long after that. I preferred Slaughter to Firehouse musically although they weren't my musical thing. Firehouse really seemed to be a nice bunch of guys, Slaughter was a different type of animal. At least that's the vibe I got. I had trouble with the music of that era because there was so much stylistic similarity, not enough variety. Just personal opinion.
I saw Slaughter open for Poison in 1991 and they were fantastic. Never had the fortune to meet any of the bands you mentioned. But even without meeting the guys in Firehouse they all really seem like they are good guys and would be pretty cool to meet. For me probably because I came up during that era is why it clicked more for me. But I agree there was a lot of similarity in both bands and style at the time.
Glam Metal is fine by me. I don't call Def Leppard Glam Metal. They didn't wear makeup, but they did have the sound
It’s more a term that today let’s people know the kind of music it is. But it always seems to ruffle a few feathers.
I love that era, but even the harder edged bands aren't really metal in the grand scope of things, even though we're called as such at the time. I just consider them as hard rock, no need for titles that were often used in a mocking fashion. If it has loud guitars, chances are I'll like it lol...
I agree with you. Great White is lumped in with Glam Metal and Hair Bands but while early on they had the look and were more Metal, in the end they’re really a straight blues rock band. But still, if I said to some young kid the name Great White, it wouldn’t mean anything. But if I say they were a hair band, they kid immediately know the era, timeframe and sound. It’s a useful term today despite some of the bands not liking it.
No mention to Bon Jovi's Keep the Faith? The Best of that year.
I felt like Bon Jovi didn’t fit the Glam title by 1993. They had risen above it much the same way Def Leppard and GNR did as well. But a great album and part of my Best Albums Of 1993 episode, see link if you’re interested th-cam.com/video/2aSUmAGmvbo/w-d-xo.html
Bon jovi sold out.
Oh yeah kiss and Def leppard your my Man.
There were so many great albums in 1992!!! Endless amounts...like Faster Pussycat, Lynch Mob & more.
Why are some band considered GLAM metal or hair bands.
Example
Skid Row
Guns N'Roses
Why are those bands considered hair or glam.
Is it only do to the time period they broke threw.
I don’t consider GNR glam but they did come from the same era and started out that way in 1986. Skid Row and their first album was IMO glam. They shed it pretty quick and continued to on the next two albums. What makes something glam is both sound and appearance. The big hair, flashy outfits, sometimes make-up, sounding with big guitars, layered production, big choruses and gang style vocals all contribute to being glam. But ultimately it comes down to song type and structure, dirty sleazy fun party rock is the archetypal glam song.
Glam rock wanted to get women. I mean I grew up in the 80's I am sorry if it sounded like I said GNR was glam.
I ❤ your channel.
Like I said I am rebuilding my music collection again after selling and losing them to a big bug program. I mean my wife and I want from 5,000 combined to down to 200. It will be fun rebuilding. In the middle of rebuilding my Led Zeppelin collection.
Where's HEAVY BONES??

Damn Yankees I never considered hair metal... Kiss Revenge more metal.....
I consider the first Damn Yankees album part of the glam metal/ hair band genre. But definitely by the second album they moved back to a more classic rock sound like the bands the guys came from so that’s why they weren’t included.
Hysteria is aor .
To me it’s pop metal. AOR is Toto, Journey, Jefferson Starship.
Wildside- Under The Influence was the best imo from 1992,Saigon Kick wasn’t a glam band very far from it.
It’s how Saigon Kick was marketed. They may not have exactly fit stylistically but they were part of the movement. They were never considered alternative or some other classification. So for me they are staying in Glam.
I respectfully disagree that Saigon Kick was hair metal despite having some good songs....
Just the category the band was marketed under. Plus I grew up with the band when they were local in Florida where I lived. They definitely were part of they era despite being a much broader style that could have crossed into alternative if marketed right.
@@BrendonSnyder definitely true
