[QUOTE="Moulin Rogue, post: 280264, member: 1192"] 80s hair bands that never really broke all that big: Bang Tango Chrome Molly Danger Danger Diamond Rexx Dogs D'Amour Hans Naughty Helix Icon Keel Killer Dwarfs Pretty Boy Floyd Roxx Gang (an 80s glam list has just gotta have a double 'x' in it somewhere!) Tigertailz (ditto a 'z' to denote plural!) Tuff Vinnie Vincent Invasion White Tiger XYZ many of those like Pretty Boy Floyd and XYZ are quite late in the decade, '89ish, when that genre was the most saturated. Motley Crue and Duran Duran did not have a big overlap in fan appeal during '83-'84, I'm guessing. Motley Crue was pretty heavy and scary for their day in the "Shout At the Devil" era, and the majority of female metal fans were of the 'metal chick' variety (remember them)? The more 'hard rock' than 'metal' bands like Def Leppard and Van Halen in 1984 had more crossover appeal, I think. But Motley Crue started going more mainstream with "Theatre of Pain" and then metal entered a REALLY commercial age around '86 with all the overproduction and keyboards and power ballads and the teenyboppers moved in.
