Here are a few of the many Glam Metal Rock bands that seems to have died in the 80’s. We’re talking about Motley Crue, Ratt, Guns & Roses, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Van Halen, Whitesnake etc. Many of you will of course insist that Guns & Roses, Quiet Riot & Van Halen weren’t Glam Metal Rock bands, but of course I disagree, and this is my blog go and get your own :-). The Glam Metal Rock bands of the 80’s weren’t by any stretch of the imagination creating something new. They were taking much of their hairspray and androgyny from their predecessors the Glitter/Glam Rock bands of the 70’s like the New York City Dolls, Gary Glitter, T.Rex etc.

Here are some great images for you to digest. And no this isn’t an exhaustive collection, and I’m sure I’ve missed some great Glam Metal Rock bands, so don’t get excited.
