Story: Crüe: Sex, drugs, and Mötley cruises
Jun 15, 2007 Members of veteran hair band have plenty of solo projects in the works, including a biography and accompanying soundtrack.Artist: Def Leppard
Genre: Rock/PopDef Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder, and were more dangerous, than the Sheffield quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late '70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the group actually owed more to the glam... [+] Read More

Artist: Guns N' Roses
Genre: Rock/PopAt a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynist, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O'... [+] Read More

Artist: T.N.T.
Genre: Rock/PopWith a level of musicianship higher than the average hair metal band, Norway's TNT offered a prog-tinged take on pop-metal due largely to the stunning vocal range of lead singer Tony Harnell and the guitar technique of Ronni Le Tekro. Originally consisting of vocalist Dag Ingebrigtsen (aka D.D. Dynamite), bassist Steiner Eikum, and drummer... [+] Read More

Artist: Twisted Sister
Genre: Hard Rock/MetalA product of New Yorker City's early-'70s glam rock scene, Twisted Sister were eager students of the New York Dolls, with the theatrics of Kiss and the shock rock of Alice Cooper thrown in for good measure. While providing an excellent role model from an artistic standpoint, the Dolls' disappointing record sales and subsequent implosion would... [+] Read More

Artist: Van Halen
Genre: Rock/PopWith their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general.

Artist: W.A.S.P.
Genre: Rock/PopOne of the heavier bands to come out of the early-'80s L.A. metal scene, W.A.S.P. quickly rose to national infamy thanks to their shock rock image, lyrics, and live concerts. Unfortunately, once the novelty and scandal began to wear off, the band found it difficult to expand, or even maintain, their audience by relying only on their music.... [+] Read More
