Was hair metal really dead in 1991… or was it still alive and kicking?
In this video, we answer 17 questions about hair metal in 1991—the year everything supposedly changed. From major albums and band shifts to the rise of grunge and what it really meant for the scene, we break it all down.
We cover the major bands--Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, etc, but we also dig into the more obscure bands like Tuff, McQueen Street, XYZ and many more in this deep dive into one of the most debated years in rock history.
👉 Was 1991 the end… or just the turning point?

Nice shout to Sambora though. Hi danozzzy189, it’s your other account 😂😂
1. Saraya - When The Blackbird Sings. Great songs include When You See Me Again and Bring Back the Light. I ran into their guitarist Tony Bruno in Manhattan last summer.
2. EZ Livin - After the Fire. Hans Ziller's band after he left Bonfire. Killer songs include Body Talk and Taste My Sweet Love.
3. The Almighty - Soul Destruction. Killer vocals by Ricky Warwick. Heavier, pounding stuff. Best songs Bandaged Knees not only kicks ass, but has a poignant message too.
4. The Bloody Stools - Meet the Bloody Stools. Not sure if you've ever heard of these guys, but they have raunchy, filthy, hysterical songs like Choke the Load and Bump Fuzz. Richie Sambora and Dave Sabo even make appearances.
5. Casanova - S/T. Great melodic hard rock from Germany with soaring harmonies on songs like Burning Love and Sticky Sweet.
6. Dream Police - S/T. No relation to Cheap Trick. They're from Norway I believe and the singer sounds just like David Lee Roth.
7. Noisy Mama - Everybody Has One. Funny name, but several songs rock, particularly It's You and Dirty Dog.
8. X-Sinner - Peace Treaty. Not sure if you've heard of these guys but they're a Christian rock band who sound a lot like AC/DC.
9. Bad Moon Rising - S/T. Featuring Kal Swan and Doug Aldrich of Lion, and Ian Mayo and Jackie Ramos of Hericane Alice.
10. Bonfire - Knock Out. These guys really should have made it huge. Best songs on this album include Dirty Love and Shakedown.
