Hair band guitarists have never gotten the respect they deserve -- this is my tribute

I want to post video tributes to those greats. These videos rock hard...Can you handle it?

Warren DeMartini - Ratt - Lay it Down



Vito Bratta - White Lion - Little Fighter



Joey Allen - Warrant - Uncle Tom's Cabin




See, you youngsters only think you know what rock is!!

More to come as I find them.......

Sweet Dr.Love.Thanks for rockin my day. I don't have time to search a video right now but I'll give you a clue which one I'd post from my fav band. "It's better to burn out, than fade away."

Dave Sabo - Skid Row - Monkey Business



C.C. Deville - Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time (here's to ya!)



Frank Hannon - Tesla - Modern Day Cowboy



More to come........

I still prefer about all other kinds of metal....

Great thread Dr Love, soooo many memories!! Hope you dont mind if i add a couple.


Eddie Ojeda from Twisted Sister - I Wannaa Rock




Chris Holmes from WASP - Love Machine

when i think 80's guitarist worth a mention i think steve vai(went active in the 80's)
satriani...active in like 79 but close enough
jason becker
marty friedman
paul gilbert
john petrucci
richie sambora(no joke)
shawn lane
--------
something to that effect...
don't forget mike keneally

the hair metal/80's metal/shredder type stuff has put out some amazing guitarists.....all those guys mentioned save for sambora and becker(cause of the ALS) and lane(cause he's dead) are virtuoso's.
gilbert teaches at the GIT and puts on clinics all over the place. friedman runs a guitar school in japan and puts on clinics. petrucci, satch and vai do clinics....these guys theory goes deep.
some mentioned earlier could write some riffs and whatever sure but in the 80's eara, these guys all busted it.
they changed things...

Lita Ford! unfortunately she didn't get popular until Sharon Osborn popped her up.



And yes, after many years I'd still marry this woman!

Akira Takasaki from Loudness



Oh and ditto on Eddie Ojeda!! (The guy who played the bullseye first!)

I'm gona stray a bit from "hair" metal but...

Michael Schenker - MSG

Jeff LaBar - Firehouse - Reach for the Sky



Peace

Jake E. Lee - Badlands - Dreams in the Dark



Doug Aldrich - Whitesnake - In the Still of the Night



Peace

sorry man but a lot of those dudes didn't get their 'respect' cause they didn't really do anything worth a mention....

Although some of them didn't make it very far, they were still great guitar players. I'm still fairly young but even so, I love some of the older rock/metal music from the hairband era. Def Leppard and Quiet Riot to name a couple. I also like some of Metallica and Testament's music. Some crazy lead guitar riffs there.
