Most guitarists of Glam were awesome even if their music didn't often exemplify their talent. C.C. Deville, Ritchie Sambora, Nuno Bettancourt, Mick Mars, etc. So many of these guys are amazing but people overlook them cuz they were part of glam.
As a fan of glam metal, that is a great list. Here's a bunch more 101: Change your sound sometime around 1993-1994, saying that the change occurred organically and had nothing to do with sales 102: Go back to the original sound when the new sound doesn't help your sales 103: Fire/Break up with at least one of your band members in the late 80's or early 1990's. 104: Trash that band member in the press constantly 105: Reunite with that band member in the late 90's 106: Get used to playing bards and clubs in the mid and late 1990's 107: Co-headline package tours with other glam bands, so that you can play arenas and sheds again 108: Do package tours in the 21st century with bands you considered too "soft" in the 80's (like Journey, Styx, REO) 109: Be made fun of on Beavis and Butthead 110: If you get to headline arenas or sheds, use as much pyro and lasers as possible 111: Groupies, groupies groupies 112: STDs, STDs STDs 113: Start a feud with someone else in the music industry 114: Blame record execs/MTV for your most recent album not making the Billboard 100 115. Cut at least one interview in the 1990's where you complain about the song that made you a hit band in the first place. 116: Keep playing that song live. 117: Date/marry the model in your video 118: Break up with the model within two years 119: Have at least one sex tape leaked to the public 120: Be on a reality show or judge a music context show (2000 forward) 121. From 2000 forward, do the same live setlist, with minimal variation and almost no deep cuts. 122: Get arrested at least once, but manage to get little to now jail time
Iron maiden isn't thrash either but iron maiden is a great band and glam metal still sucks and I don't even think skid row is glam metal and tbh and is much better than half the genre even though I'm not a super fan of them
@@somethingsomething9008 Like... sometimes I hear people say Iron Maiden is hair metal... and I'm just like... you're fucking clueless lol. Not thrash tho they have a few thrashy songs like Transylvania, Losfer Words, Phantom of the Opera.... they're too power metal to be thrash and too thrash to be power, and they're older than both, and I'd say that especially since reuniting with Bruce, they're kinda prog. They're just Metal Gods. Like Priest and Sabbath.
@@keithclayton1271 G n’ R was not part of the glam scene. If “glam” was allowed to continue it would have went in the direction of Tesla, G n’ R , Skid Row, Spread Eagle, Love/Hate, Junkyard, The Seattle scene unfortunately killed the hard rock scene. I hesitate using the term Glam since that was a term used for marketing.
@@somethingsomething9008 btw... ol boy was saying he wouldn't call them trash, even tho they aren't thrash. lol. Skid Row was one of the heaviest bands associated with hair metal, for sure.
Awesome, here are a few more: 101. Give yourself a girl's name, like Kelly, Dani, Simone, or Chrissy 102. Change your last name to your first name, like Kelly Kelly, Dani Dani, Simone Simone, or Chrissy Chrissy 103. Trade your guitar for snakeskin cowboy boots from the Boot Barn 104. Raid your girlfriend's wardrobe and makeup drawer. (If you don't have a girlfriend then borrow your mom's.) 105. Comb your hair backwards and apply 2 cans of Aquanet 106. Buy Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner for luscious long hair and damaged split ends
Admittingly a sucker for glam metal just can't get enough of the catchy hooks, big riffs and crazy solos lol yes the makeup and androgynous clothings were ridiculous but I'd put this over any form of mainstream music nowadays...we can't deny that the proto hair metal bands most notably Van Halen, Motley Crue, Dokken. Quiet Riot and Def Leppard took heavy metal to the mainstream and glam metal took over a huge chunk of the 80s from 83 up til 91 (arguably the longest time metal had been in the mainstream eye). Thanks to the rise of glam metal, more styles of metal came out in the 80s including thrash metal. It's really an underrated and overlooked genre.
Dokken is like a wild child of glam metal. No sleaziness in songs, extremely melodic, guitarist with bizarre influences (jimi hendrix), unique vocalist and one instrumental track that kicks ass.
For those who don't know, Tawny Kitaen was a supermodel who married Dave Coverdale of Whitesnake after becoming famous from doing exotic dancing on the hoods of 2 Jaguar cars in the WS video for "Here I Go Again." She passed away afew days ago.
Whitesnake definitely belongs on that list. They were like the gentleman's glam though... for glam aficionados. So tongue in cheek and over the top with their love songs. I cannot fault this list lol. I wouldn't really call Tesla glam tho.
All fine choices. I'd say whitesnake were only glam for 2 albums though and didn't come from the sunset strip so they kind of count but kind of don't 😅
@@thomasangelripper yes slide it in wasn't glam and yes sykes was amazing. some of 87 wasn't glam like crying in the rain. Mainly just the 2 big singles. Slip of the tongue was but songs like judgment day and wings of the storm were borderline power/prog metal.
Funny thing about this list is how so many were at the very beginning of the LA Sunset scene at the beginning of the movement, and how many others weren’t there but got lumped in with it. Whitesnake: formed in 1978 in England. Dokken were Americans but they grew a following in Germany before getting a recording contract. Ratt, Crue, and WASP were at the beginning of the LA movement. Twisted Sister were out of New York, and had some albums before this “Glam Metal” blew up.
10 extra rules of Glam Metal for 7-string guitarists. 1. Make sure you tune down your G-string 2. Make sure it doesn't sound Djent-esque at all. 3. Write lyrics that are electric-blues-inspired. 4. Make the riffs so heavy and so soul-sounding. 5. Make it sound similar to "Slip Of The Tongue" by Whitesnake. 6. Dye your hair. 7. Don't compete with other guitarists. 8. Show the world who you are. 9. Become so famous everybody recognizes on VH1. 10. Never, never stop to play for anybody!
New wave of “hair metal” is awesome! No need to wish to time travel when there is so many good bands who do taht for you! And some proper glam bands mainly who come out in late 80s after Appetite are still concerting and still good! Bon Jovi are just a one of the main reason for Hair metal term they was always jist few steps from being pop and whitout Richie it not worrh a same anyway. Check bands like Enuf´zenuf , faster pussycat, london querkboys (7a clock song), Adam Bomb or Michael Monroe... so many good glam bands what actualy go bit away from thise rules...
As for rule 89 - to me Ibanez RG is much more associated with the genre, than Fender Stratocaster (or even Jacksons, Kramers, ESPs and Washburns with a similar body shape) and of course a floating bridge is mandatory

Watched this with my bass player and we were almost in tears from laughing so hard. Absolutely brilliant, spot on and beyond hilarious. These 'THE RULES' vids you're making obviously take a lot of time and lot of thought and effort and your hilarious take on each genre is superb. Keep up the amazing work!
@@RuthlessMetalYT There is no 'try', you are already doing it and doing it very well! We all appreciate your artistry and are enjoying your vids so much. \m/ \m/
As a guitar player I have to stand up for bands like Ratt, Dokken, Kingdom Come, L.A. Guns, and yes, even Winger- who were all solid in the music dept. Sure, there were awful pop bands like Poison, but there's trash and treasure in every genre. Also, W.A.S.P.'s 1st LP is blacker, rawer, and more hellish than most black metal. Overall glam isn't my favorite genre, but the best bands it had to offer deserve more respect than they get. Besides, aren't black metal and viking metal just as OTT and image driven in their own way?
@@RuthlessMetalYT True, I'm a Trash Metal fan, but when I see all those Metalheads hating on Glam I'm like, yes it's stupid! Yes their lyrics don't have any message, yes they seem gay.. And?? That's the point of the genre, to be funny and have a good time
i once made a d&d character that was a tiefling bard who sold his soul to the devil(Asmodeus) for musical talent and he was "supposed" to become a rockstar as he leveled up and dipped into warlock to get some warlock powers and was eventually trying to find a way to get out of his contract with the devil while still keeping his powers and after every adventure he would blow all of his gold pieces and stuff on partying and drugs and alcohol and in one treasure hoard, he found a jeweled encrusted codpiece, but then our group drifted apart and we all stopped playing. . .
Nailed it! Favs 79. Be the coolest dude in 1989 but a decade later you are a nobody. 63. Kurt Cobain stopped the fun. 83. Your album artwork is just a photo of your crouch 🤣
Your comment is perfect. ditto with early Kiss, T. Rex, Sweet, Thin Lizzy, Siverhead, Iggy & the Stooges, the Stones, the Runaways, Pink Fairies, early Aerosmith, Golden Earring, 70s Queen, Zeppelin, UFO, Nazareth, early to mid 70s Alice Cooper, etcetc... i dunno, i never dug glam 'metal', it was as if mcdonald's or Barbie had taken over a a sound and a look turning these traits into a cheap sunday breakfast or a child's game...or something. however, i always found exceptions back in the day: the first two records by bands like ratt, motley crue, twisted sister, tesla. wasp... probably icon, rought cutt,great white sometimes...oh well whatever, nevermind ha!
@@careful...Icarus Rock on, my friend! Thanks for your kind words. and yes, Silverhead were a great band, i'll check out Michael's show! my fave tune: Underneath the Light! cheers!
I used to have a poster from Metal Hammer in my room that was placed on the wall through 90's. On one side there was Winger band , and on the second side Death band from Spiritual Healing era. Guess on which side I have placed it to my wall ;)
As an 80's kid who was a teen in the 90's, it was possible to be both into glam metal and grunge. And honestly... I listen to way more glam metal now in 2022 than I do anything grunge.
Most people glam metal bands are actually very talented musicians, and saying that they’re writing pop songs but calling it metal, really. I think people forget that the definition for heavy metal, is just down tuned guitars
I'm okay with giving a name to a specific sub genre. It can guide you to find your way in the record store or social media. From there you're looking for your own personal preference. Sometimes I'm in the mood for an 'upper' other moments for an 'downer'. Music is the only drug for me. (next to a cold beer)
I'm into bands that happen to be glam more so underatef ones like melodic ones like queensyrche and aggresive heavy ones like ratt skid row and curious to discover more. Also could u do a video of proto glam and post glam such as steel panther
Back in my little clique we used the term " POP METAL" specifically for bands like POISON, WARRANT, BULLET BOYS.!!! Everything else was GLAM!! 🖤 The MUSTAINE clip! Bang on! ⚡🤘😎👍⚡
By the way, if anyone would like to hear some cool hair metal, if you don't know it already, check out Whitesnake's album "Slip of the Tongue" with the legendary Steve Vai on guitar. Kittens Got Claws is probably my favorite song on the album :)
damn... yall be acting crazy yo. First off, the dude could sing. second, Ritchie Sambora is a good guitar player. Also, I think the band did some great songs, and I like a few of his later hits also. Fourth... who the fuck asked any of you? It's is my life. -Jon Bovi
I really love glam metal bands like Dokken, Ratt, Icon, especially the album Night of the Crime by Icon my god this is a beautiful 80s heavy/glam metal album!
Mötley Crüe and Kiss are so sophisticated Bands from the Metal Scene in the 80s.....But what does remain of Glam Metal today...? The future belongs to extreme genres and subgenres, such as Black Metal, Blackened Death Metal and Power Metal....Thanks for the Rules and Good Luck...........§
Yeah this is funny for somebody who's a glam hater, but there were many "hair" bands in the 1980s that were legit good that were unfairly lumped into the glam metal category, bands like Blue Murder, Zebra, Dokken, Cinderella etc
Glam Metal portrays rock and roll how it should be. Fun, flashy, energetic, melodic, and kickass rock stars playing kickass music. Plus their hair was awesome.
If you've ever wondered what Motley Crew would sound like with Dave Mustaine singing for em , then look no further than Arcade! Seen one of their albums at a pawn shop years back, figured why not, glad I did! If you haven't already, check em out
Yeah, Iguess given the lyrical content W.A.S.P would fall into this category. With a power ballad like Sleeping in the Fire, does that make them Black Glam? 😁
Love your accent ! ( Whitesnake ain’t glam metal or hair metal ! They had the looks but the music had nothing to do with glam or hair ! ) You can take this concept for the NWOBHM ! :)
Some more rules: 1) Sell out once you become a joke, 2) Try to jump on the grunge bandwagon by switching from goofy clothes to flannel. 3) Pin the blame on metal's downfall on poison.

Mick Mars best glam metal guitarist and one of the most underrated in the metal genre
Mick looked like a southern rock musician back in the 70s.
Lorenzo I totally agree... Mick Mars is very underrated, probably because he is associated so closely with glam.
You mean George Lynch? 🤔
Mick Marrs was born in Terre haute Indiana. His name is Bob Deal. Mick Marrs is his stage name. Google it if you don't believe me...
except it's not metal it's pop
As a Glam fan, this is pretty on point.
good, I wasn't completely off then. ;)
Bands like Ratt and Skid Row got me out of my stupid “if it’s not thrash it’s trash” phase and I’m very thankful for that.
I'd never call Ratt or especially Skid Row trash. Skid Row is another band I think helped kill glam metal, along with GNR.

Rule #101: "If you are not from L.A., claim that you are anyway"
Rule #102: "Play a Jackson guitar"
Watched this with my bass player and we were almost in tears from laughing so hard. Absolutely brilliant, spot on and beyond hilarious. These 'THE RULES' vids you're making obviously take a lot of time and lot of thought and effort and your hilarious take on each genre is superb. Keep up the amazing work!
thanks. :D I'll try.
@@RuthlessMetalYT There is no 'try', you are already doing it and doing it very well! We all appreciate your artistry and are enjoying your vids so much. \m/ \m/
Nice video , make the 100 rules of heavy metal !
As a guitar player I have to stand up for bands like Ratt, Dokken, Kingdom Come, L.A. Guns, and yes, even Winger- who were all solid in the music dept. Sure, there were awful pop bands like Poison, but there's trash and treasure in every genre. Also, W.A.S.P.'s 1st LP is blacker, rawer, and more hellish than most black metal. Overall glam isn't my favorite genre, but the best bands it had to offer deserve more respect than they get. Besides, aren't black metal and viking metal just as OTT and image driven in their own way?
Yeah, I agree. not everyone sucked but that was kinda how it looked from the thrash metal side of things. ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT True, I'm a Trash Metal fan, but when I see all those Metalheads hating on Glam I'm like, yes it's stupid! Yes their lyrics don't have any message, yes they seem gay.. And?? That's the point of the genre, to be funny and have a good time
Awesome video man
thanks
We need also 100 rules of nu metal .Спасибо за выпуск😊
not many rules. 1. downtune. 2 be shit
@@eon14873 Brilliant.
1-100 it sucks ass.
@@RuthlessMetalYT agreed
Pretty much spot on, good video.
You could make a full-length video on Danzig memes alone. \m/
i once made a d&d character that was a tiefling bard who sold his soul to the devil(Asmodeus) for musical talent and he was "supposed" to become a rockstar as he leveled up and dipped into warlock to get some warlock powers and was eventually trying to find a way to get out of his contract with the devil while still keeping his powers and after every adventure he would blow all of his gold pieces and stuff on partying and drugs and alcohol and in one treasure hoard, he found a jeweled encrusted codpiece, but then our group drifted apart and we all stopped playing. . .
haha, cool
Nailed it!

79. Be the coolest dude in 1989 but a decade later you are a nobody.
63. Kurt Cobain stopped the fun.
83. Your album artwork is just a photo of your crouch 🤣
Here's a rule 101 (more likely fact) that can stick mostly with with all glam metal thing: GLAM IS NOT BLOODY PLAYING MUSIC, IT'S LIFESTYLE DUDE!
🤘
Great video. Cant wait for a Swedish Hard Metal from the 90s to this day video.
thanks, not sure if I will continue the swedish metal history. I'm not that familiar with what happened in the 90s and 2000s. :)
In Flames, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Messiah Marcolin...
I knew you will finally do glam metal :)
I hated glam growing up other than a few exceptions, but getting older I love a lot more now
I mean the worst pop metal stuff was horrible but the early more heavy metal leaning stuff is alright. :)
Be " inspired" by New York Dolls but never grasp or be able to replicate the actual sound/ vibe that made them so damn cool.
Your comment is perfect. ditto with early Kiss, T. Rex, Sweet, Thin Lizzy, Siverhead, Iggy & the Stooges, the Stones, the Runaways, Pink Fairies, early Aerosmith, Golden Earring, 70s Queen, Zeppelin, UFO, Nazareth, early to mid 70s Alice Cooper, etcetc... i dunno, i never dug glam 'metal', it was as if mcdonald's or Barbie had taken over a a sound and a look turning these traits into a cheap sunday breakfast or a child's game...or something. however, i always found exceptions back in the day: the first two records by bands like ratt, motley crue, twisted sister, tesla. wasp... probably icon, rought cutt,great white sometimes...oh well whatever, nevermind ha!
@@cangong Bro,anybody that knows Silverhead is cool in my book. Michael Des Barres!!!! He actually does a good show on Sirius radio. Rock on good sir!
@@careful...Icarus Rock on, my friend! Thanks for your kind words. and yes, Silverhead were a great band, i'll check out Michael's show! my fave tune: Underneath the Light! cheers!
Cheers!
Can we get some Prog metal rules?
You got a series at hand here.
Can't wait to see the 100 Rules of Grunge, Progressive, Alternative Rock and Metal.
Don't know if I will do those. We'll see.
I used to have a poster from Metal Hammer in my room that was placed on the wall through 90's. On one side there was Winger band , and on the second side Death band from Spiritual Healing era. Guess on which side I have placed it to my wall ;)
As an 80's kid who was a teen in the 90's, it was possible to be both into glam metal and grunge. And honestly... I listen to way more glam metal now in 2022 than I do anything grunge.
Cheers!
Most people glam metal bands are actually very talented musicians, and saying that they’re writing pop songs but calling it metal, really. I think people forget that the definition for heavy metal, is just down tuned guitars
some were, but some were crap too.
I'm okay with giving a name to a specific sub genre. It can guide you to find your way in the record store or social media. From there you're looking for your own personal preference. Sometimes I'm in the mood for an 'upper' other moments for an 'downer'. Music is the only drug for me. (next to a cold beer)
I'm into bands that happen to be glam more so underatef ones like melodic ones like queensyrche and aggresive heavy ones like ratt skid row and curious to discover more. Also could u do a video of proto glam and post glam such as steel panther
🤘🤘
Nice Video on Glam Metal how about Video on Nu Metal
If I did it, it would only be one rule: be totally shit
Recording a schlocky love ballad with a crappy guitar solo is an absolute must if you want to belong to the pantheon of glam gods.
Rule 101, be the reason why people would rather listen to thrash, death and black metal
Agree
Cheers!
There are a few hairbands I like. A lot of it is for childhood memories. A lot of my family listened to hairbands. 🤘
As a fan of some bands of the genre, this video said it all right! summed it up!
Cheers!
Hilarious.
Needed this.
Thanks.
Cheers!
Rules for crossover thrash/hardcore?
Back in my little clique we used the term " POP METAL" specifically for bands like POISON, WARRANT, BULLET BOYS.!!! Everything else was GLAM!! 🖤 The MUSTAINE clip!
Bang on!
⚡🤘😎👍⚡
yeah, these can perhaps be divided into glam and pop metal. :)Cheers!
Faster that YT notification
gotta be quick!
@@RuthlessMetalYT Faster Pussycat that YT notification, he means :D
This was on target and quite clever. I remember a lot of these things.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then

100 Rules of Industrial Metal is a Idea For a video
I dont' know that much about it besides Kreator dabbling with it.
Industrial metal, you know, like Danzig's "Blackaciddevil" album lol
Industrial is kind of easy to get 100 rules for too... just look to Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails. Oh, and Razed In Black.
@Chris Retro Yep Rammstein !
@@miti314 I would agree, Rammstein are heavily Industrial, even though they became popular long after the prime of the Industrial underground.
These videos crack me up!! LOL
By the way, if anyone would like to hear some cool hair metal, if you don't know it already, check out Whitesnake's album "Slip of the Tongue" with the legendary Steve Vai on guitar. Kittens Got Claws is probably my favorite song on the album :)
You made me laugh. Good stuff.
My favorite genre
I guess I did at least 30 of these rules and I consider myself a headbanger/thrasher, and I dyed my hair blond a while ago.
"It's is my life." -Jon Bovi
the famous bad tattoo lol
Bon Jovi was a bad rocker and an even worse country artist. Jon Bon Mellenchamp thing didn't work out so well for him.
@@RussPipkinanim8r what ever you might think of the man.. one thing is for sure: He was one hell of a cat.
damn... yall be acting crazy yo. First off, the dude could sing. second, Ritchie Sambora is a good guitar player. Also, I think the band did some great songs, and I like a few of his later hits also. Fourth... who the fuck asked any of you? It's is my life. -Jon Bovi
it's like Jon Bovi's long hair and bad ass tattoo (It's is my life) got yall butthurt af.
My channel is dedicated to this music.....and....I fucking loved this!😂 hilarious!
Thank you, Cheers!
WASP is a great fuckin band and noone can tell me otherwise.
I agree, they are great.
This was hilarious! And on point! Good job!
Cheers!
101- Do a kind of "grunge album" in the 90's
I really love glam metal bands like Dokken, Ratt, Icon, especially the album Night of the Crime by Icon my god this is a beautiful 80s heavy/glam metal album!
Cheers!
100 rule's of punk please!!
Pure gold ! 😂😂
Mötley Crüe and Kiss are so sophisticated Bands from the Metal Scene in the 80s.....But what does remain of Glam Metal today...? The future belongs to extreme genres and subgenres, such as Black Metal, Blackened Death Metal and Power Metal....Thanks for the Rules and Good Luck...........§
thank you
There are a lot of revival Glam bands.
Check out Frontiers Records and AFM records RUclips pages. You will see alot of 80s influenced bands
the future belongs to Extreme, Blackie, Napalm Death, and Power Chords...
BTW, watch Decline of Western Civ 2: The Metal Years and you'll see... Kiss are very glam back then lol.
Hahaha Love it !!!
🔥🤘🔥
101. Make Death, Black, and Trash metal heads and bands green with envy because you get more tail than them.
You're doing all right right up until the the rifts don't matter bit and you even threw a few legit above the belt punches.
hehe, gotta throw in some nut punches too. ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT like when Blackie Lawless's crotch pyrotechnics malfunctioned and they almost had to amputate his mini-me.
@@RuthlessMetalYT but seriously though not about the riffs?
Rage United kingdom band
Ratt
Van Halen
Darkstar.
Cinderella
Blue oyster cult
@@RuthlessMetalYT Def Leppard
Whitesnake
Badlands
The scorpions
Twisted sister
The Vinny Vinson invasion
Cheap trick

Boston
@@theatomicpunkkid wouldn't consider VH, Boston or BOC glam, personally. They do adhere to some of the rules, but they're too unique and different.
Funny, I’m literally heading to Rainbow.
Yeah this is funny for somebody who's a glam hater, but there were many "hair" bands in the 1980s that were legit good that were unfairly lumped into the glam metal category, bands like Blue Murder, Zebra, Dokken, Cinderella etc
Glam Metal portrays rock and roll how it should be. Fun, flashy, energetic, melodic, and kickass rock stars playing kickass music. Plus their hair was awesome.
Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT that show sucks
If you've ever wondered what Motley Crew would sound like with Dave Mustaine singing for em , then look no further than Arcade! Seen one of their albums at a pawn shop years back, figured why not, glad I did! If you haven't already, check em out
Cheers!
Yeah, Iguess given the lyrical content W.A.S.P would fall into this category. With a power ballad like Sleeping in the Fire, does that make them Black Glam? 😁
WASP are certainly unique in glam metal. They're really the most satanic of them all.
it makes them BlamCore.
@@keithclayton1271 is that a thing???
Never thought about this before...
Love your accent !
( Whitesnake ain’t glam metal or hair metal ! They had the looks but the music had nothing to do with glam or hair ! )
You can take this concept for the NWOBHM ! :)
you're the first :) haha thanks
"Play a multi-neck guitar"
Shows Jimmy page
Some more rules:
1) Sell out once you become a joke,
2) Try to jump on the grunge bandwagon by switching from goofy clothes to flannel.
3) Pin the blame on metal's downfall on poison.
This list only applies to bands like Poison. There’s some badass glam like Lillian Axe and Spread Eagle
Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT I love your videos man! Keep up your good work!
