How did Klaus sound?   

I saw them on the Love At First Sting Tour and it was really good.    They kind of lost me in the nineties and aughts a little bit, though. I kind of lost interest when Herman Rarebell took his lyrics and went home.  I still go back to the early Roth albums pretty frequently.

How did Klaus sound?

I thought he sounded fantastic.  I don't think he really started to lose a step vocally until the 2000's.  It is amazing how much power, clarity, and range the man maintained for so long. 

I was a bit late to the game with them in general.  I was vaguely aware of them during the Blackout era, but that was when I was first really starting to get into hard rock, and I hadn't heard enough of them to really gravitate toward them yet.  But then when the video for Rock You Like a Hurricane dropped, my reaction was basically "Whoa!    :eek  This is AMAZING!"  From there, I was hooked.  Through that album cycle, I really got into Love at First Sting and Blackout.  World Wide Live introduced me to some of the more prominent tracks from Love Drive and Animal Magnetism as well.  I didn't really go back much further than that though, partly because there was so much of their discography, and partly because of just my aversion at the time to anything '70s.  I thought Savage Amusement was pretty good.  Crazy World was just okay.  But Face the Heat was on par with some of their best stuff.  After that, they lost me.  So my "sweet spot" for them is the Jabs era through Face the Heat, basically.

I was surprised how good Klaus sounded just last week.  His voice wasn't as powerful as it is on the albums (my only basis of comparison), but his singing was still solid and he overall sounded great.

Tim, seriously, Prisoners In Paradise.  :biggrin:

I got a c-note that says he'll hate it.

Oh, he'll hate it but he should still play it.😀

OK, I literally couldn't make it through the first 30 seconds of each of the first 4 songs.

This album blows.

Damn.

This morning on the news they were mentioning entertainment happening this weekend and said that hair metal bands Megadeth and Scorpions were coming to town. So by that statement, I'd go with Megadeth as best hair metal band.

This is exactly the kind of thing my buddy loves to get me going on. There are so many bands that have the title hair metal thrown on them that absolutely don't deserve it, at least in my opinion.

I always find this topic infuriating because it seems so loose so I'm going to stand down before I develop a headache.

My vote goes to Steel Panther. Honestly, no one does hair metal better than that. It's in its most honest form with that band.
beul ni teh efac = Lube In The Face / That has to be wrong.  :lol / EDIT: Oh, it's Blue! I'm an idiot.
Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history

Crazy, yea Megadeth is definitely not hair metal, not by my understanding at least.   That was the same show I saw last week, fantastic concert.

Here is a question that I do not think has been asked yet:

Which hair band collectively had the biggest and/or most hair?
