What kind of metal...?

Fave color?

Runnin' with the Devil?

Ideal wheels?

Queensryche

Queensryche

In a word: Prog. Operatic vocals. Concept albums. Political lyrics. How did these so-serious guys make it as a top hair band? And in the land of grunge, no less? If you're going to hang with these guys, you'd better be serious about your music - they practically built an Empire!

Tesla

Tesla

How did these acoustic-loving, ballad-writing guys not-from-LA make it as a top-of-the-charts hair band? Still - gotta love them. They made their own mark! Don't you wish you could just hang out with these guys in a garage with a few beers and a dart board?

Def Leppard

Def Leppard

Well, the "British invasion" wasn't supposed to hit the Sunset Strip. But these guys did it - and upped the L.A. ante! From ballads to hard-hitting bombastic rock - come on - there were a couple songs you liked by Leppard - you know there were! Didn't you think it'd be fun to hang with them in London and get a photograph?

Motley Crue

Motley Crue

OK. What can we say? These guys didn't just re-define metal, they re-defined partying. You'd better be ready to keep up! Rotating drum setup in the sky - here you come! (Oh - you just might need to call a Doctor)

Guns-n-Roses

Guns-n-Roses

These guys might not like you. Then again they might. Then again they might keep you waiting two days before they show up to the next gig. I mean - you're cool with that, right? You got a problem? Welcome to the jungle, baby!

Van Halen

Van Halen

Eddie. Alex. The others. The legacy. What can we say about one of the greatest bands? Well now you can finish what they started. And hey - wanna be singer?

Whitesnake

Whitesnake

Great legacy musicians in their own rights, Whitesnake had a choice: Either make their image as an '80s hair band, or get lost in the shuffle of '70s musicians. They still made it with the big hair, makeup, glitzy videos and models. Lucky for you - here you go again!

Stryper

Stryper

Love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta respect that they did something that no one else would in a crowd with no one else like them. Screaming vocals? Big hair? Bright stage show? These guys did it all. While being the "good boys" of hair metal.
