I've been looking back over billboard charts from 1980 till now, and one thing I've noticed, that was even true as recently as 1998/1999, Billboard was a reflection of what EVERYONE listened to. There was pop, rock, soft rock, r&B, adult contemporary.... the teenybopper pop was more considered "kids stuff". Nowadays, it seems like record companies and billboard are paying attention EXCLUSIVELY to what kids are listening to. This glut of "sound cloud rap" and the dismal "trying too hard to seem deep", plus this brutal onslaught of EDM is what young teenagers are listening to, leaving those of us in mid to late 30's and older stuck listening to what we grew up on, since nothing for us gets any attention anymore. I have to dig through Spotify to find new artists, and it's WORK.... trying to wade through the garbage is a real chore.
WTF..... @heath sunday what are you talking about ROCK N ROLL NEVER DIED TO BEGIN WITH What drugs is Lita On ? we have 2 statements here that need addressing 1. we want our 80's rock back well, that will never happen the 80s were the 80s HOWEVER 2. we want rock back WELL.. IT NEVER LEFT hehe i don't know what lita is on about but we still have ACDC, Metallica, Megadeth, LA Guns are still around , then game Linkin Park after that, evanescence is still here ROCK HAS NOT LEFT
2023 Update: Poison just wrapped up a successful North American tour with Motley Crue and Def Leppard. Bret Michaels toured South America with his solo band in 2015 and when he played in my country (Perú) the venue was as full as a tuna fish can. In this reportage Poison is the only band that is proud of its origins and that shows in their present: they are the real deal and people love that.
Joe Elliot says the reason grunge happened is because too many glam metal bands sounded the same. This is actually what's happening now with commercial pop and rap, even worse than what happened with the hair metal bands. So when is all this going to crash? When is the bubble going to burst?
Edward Bliss People are more easily programmed and sheeple minded now and the corporate power is more concentrated and larger: It may never change again.
I LOVE that you left the commercials from 1998 in it, too!! I'm an 80's MetalHead through and through...! But, 1997-1998 was my Favorite Year's of That Decade!! :) It takes me Back Twice!! I Especially Love the 1998 commercial for Halloween H20 And My Favorite Metal Video's from the 1980's!! In O e Video!! Up The Irons, Bitches!! :)
That clip with Ron Keel always cracked me up I remember imitating that scene to my friends when we were partying lol , " sold the beach houses..and the sports cars..got me this here pickup truck and this flat top geetar " cmon Keel yall were not that famous!
All these Bands and Genre came back in the 2000s with the younger generation born in the 80s and Nostalgia. Rocklahoma, M3 and Package Tours Galore. RUclips and Instagram have these bands popular to this day. ROCK NEVER DIES!!😎🤘
This is funny. MTV took a special they did in 95 or 96 called "It Came From The 80's" and just repackaged it as an episode of Ultrasound, but it's the exact same content.
Tom Keifer was/is a fantastic vocalist. I wasn't into Cinderella, there are a few songs I really love, *because* of Tom. With the right songs, IMO, his voice could've gone further than the 80s. I know he's had major issues with his vocal chords, but he's overcome them, thankfully! RIP Robbin Crosbie... Horrible way to die😢💔
This will happen to this current wave of “SoundCloud” rap. They’re starting to copy and sound like each other. Eventually burning out and the next decade(generation)will not relate and this venturing into a completely different genre. Mark my words
Funny watching Kirk Hammett slamming the glamorous hair bands while he's wearing painted fingernails 🙄 + Joe Elliott blaming Warrant and Winger of Copying their sound! Yes, Cherry Pie kinda sounded like "Pour Some Sugar on me"....but "We Will Rock You" came first!
These guys spitting on the plate they ate for a whole decade just because they weren't on the charts anymore... Now a lot of them are trying to bring back their former selves on social media lol
Despite all the makeup and wardrobe some of the best high-power notes were sung during the 80's metal scene.Never judge a book by it's cover,Alice cooper looked and presented some nasty shit on stage but his music is fuckn awesome, people spend to much time on the look that they forget about the incredible talent presented before them.
It's too bad someone created the term "hair bands". For those who use it you missed some really good music because you were too busy concerned about the look
@Luke it's not something that consumes my time. It's just an observation that I made. Those who are looking aren't listening and that's too bad. A lot of food music was overlooked
Well, they did try to come back in 2000's. Bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine etc sound heavy metal but with less hair. Unfortunately they are short-lived. The problem with 80's hair metal is the lyrics are too shallow. The music is fun but lyrically it's pop with guitar distortion as sugar coat.
This bands returned in the early 2000s with almost all 80s metal bands. This documetary is completely irrelevant today. It was made in 1995 the last year of grunge succesful because the next year 1996 grunge die and never returned again.
Grunge did pave the way for the post grunge stuff that is still going on today. Creed were huge in the late 90's, Nickleback, Stone Sour, Alterbridge are all from the same cloth of grunge. Hair metal will never be seen as serious as alternative.
Well said...it was a 6 years break and all the 80s bands were back in 2000..not as mainstream but they were back. Now all are releasing albums, touring and doing the online stuff...
Dokken. Was more viable than the other bands.... George Lynch is right... There was a reason metallica opened for them in 1988, because at that stage, they were fuckin better.
They all fucking suck and Oasis only put out one good album. The Strokes are the worst. Kinda glad rap music outshined all those corny post 90's band limiting a chance that none of them ever get into the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Long live GRUNGE.
The music they have now you can't feel at all and they all sound the same just changed the lyrics a little bit The music industry force this music on the airwaves but I guess you have to just go to local clubs again for real music otherwise its one person who can't dance can't sing can't play anything other then a keyboard w all the band on it

Sixx words echoed loudly in 1989!!!
Thank you so much for the upload! Even the commercials bring back memories!
Lol yeah i enjoyed the commercials too
I'm with you 110% Lita Ford. I want my 80s rock back. There isn't any rock and roll today? What the hell happened?
MTV changed their success formula in the '90s

@heath sunday

ROCK N ROLL NEVER DIED TO BEGIN WITH
What drugs is Lita On ?
we have 2 statements here that need addressing
1. we want our 80's rock back

hehe
i don't know what lita is on about but we still have ACDC,
Metallica, Megadeth, LA Guns are still around ,
then game Linkin Park after that, evanescence is still here
ROCK HAS NOT LEFT
Grunge happened. Most 80’s bands are still rocking and playing clubs. Do some research!
Lita Ford is still rocking too. She never really stopped. They just don’t get radio play anymore because it’s not mainstream.
Thanks so much I've been looking for this forever, I remember watching it then. Also back when Mtv was still awesome

80's Heavy Metal... What A Party!! :) 😎😎😎👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
C.C. DeVille is like my talkative neighbor who I'd love to talk to
Very cool upload. Nice stroll down memory lane. Thanks. Nice to remember a world that made sense
One of the best parts of this video are the commercials. Damn this takes me back

Soon I hope
When the Jews are forced out of the Record Companies.
@@hardluck8732 this. Gas em all
I hope soon. Today's music is autotuned CRAP
Those days are gone forever was some good times being a teenager
I remember watching this back in the Spring of 1998, totally forgotten all about this until now.
I really miss them times!
I LOVE that you left the commercials from 1998 in it, too!! I'm an 80's MetalHead through and through...! But, 1997-1998 was my Favorite Year's of That Decade!! :)
It takes me Back Twice!! I Especially Love the 1998 commercial for Halloween H20 And My Favorite Metal Video's from the 1980's!! In O e Video!! Up The Irons, Bitches!! :)
pretty nice of you to preserve and provide this-it's only overTWENTY years old&IMPOSSIBLE to find.
That clip with Ron Keel always cracked me up I remember imitating that scene to my friends when we were partying lol , " sold the beach houses..and the sports cars..got me this here pickup truck and this flat top geetar " cmon Keel yall were not that famous!
'80s rock best music ever made still listen to it everyday.
Those commercials tho
This is actually (originally): It Came From The 80’s- Metal Goes Pop. Which aired on MTV in the summer of ‘96.
Wow would love to get a copy of this.
I love this docco. CC on the beach is my FAVOURITE part hahhahhahhahaaaa love the guy. LOVE THIS MUSIC. Always did, always will.
All these Bands and Genre came back in the 2000s with the younger generation born in the 80s and Nostalgia. Rocklahoma, M3 and Package Tours Galore. RUclips and Instagram have these bands popular to this day. ROCK NEVER DIES!!😎🤘
This is so Nostalgic with commercials
This is funny. MTV took a special they did in 95 or 96 called "It Came From The 80's" and just repackaged it as an episode of Ultrasound, but it's the exact same content.
All these bands in the 80s ki were great just didn't last forever
This was just their It Came From The 80s II special recompiled.
yep.... and they cut out a bunch of it as well.
Tom Keifer was/is a fantastic vocalist. I wasn't into Cinderella, there are a few songs I really love, *because* of Tom. With the right songs, IMO, his voice could've gone further than the 80s. I know he's had major issues with his vocal chords, but he's overcome them, thankfully!
RIP Robbin Crosbie... Horrible way to die😢💔
We're still waiting!!
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS LOUD AND CLEAR, I'M IN LOVE WITH FRANK CARLTON SERAFINO FERANNA, JR - NIKKI SIXX 😢💔
seriously? Army ad in the middle of a rock and roll documentary?!
Amin Sameti Well the country will always need cannon fodder to invade other countries for their oil...
@@MrMackmonster Edgy
Our 80s bands are back baby !!!
Sixx was right
Yes he was something had to happen and it did...grunge thank god
Lol at Kurt Cobain having been normal. Kirk Hammett has a strange idea about what is normal.
And he speaks about "Sort of a made up rock Superstar" with painted nails and lying on a yatch... hilarious.
I understand every word Ozzy says
80's music is making a comeback...kind of.
? You mean the vaporwave stuff?
fashwave is even better.
This will happen to this current wave of “SoundCloud” rap. They’re starting to copy and sound like each other. Eventually burning out and the next decade(generation)will not relate and this venturing into a completely different genre. Mark my words
Izzy hope your right bc im sick of it..need to ROCK again!!
Izzy “starting to” ?
Lita Ford- where did are rock n roll go
Me - I agree ware the blank did are rock n roll go???
Lita is 100% right. Rap, Edm all these current music sucks..I want my ROCK & ROLL back..
Objection!!! @2.46 Scorpions weren't a hair-metal band.
Once and for all, “grunge” did not kill “hair metal.” “Hair metal” had been dead for a couple of years…..
Music industry killed hair metal
We need a musical revolution said Niki until he checked his bank statement sometime in 1992.
It's sad what happened to Hair Rock/Metal
"everyone" acted like it was a joke
It wasn't so much in the early 80s. By the late 80s and early 90s it had petty much become an aparody of its self.
still better than what came after
When MTV use to be cool...
True. That commercial for the real world, when they listed all the shows that came o after it, that brought back some memories!!
Yeah. Too bad they don't play the same music from when we were in high school. We both know that kids of today would totally like that.
ozzy was absolutely right. poison was NOT metal.
actually,..this is from "96"
Funny watching Kirk Hammett slamming the glamorous hair bands while he's wearing painted fingernails 🙄 + Joe Elliott blaming Warrant and Winger of Copying their sound! Yes, Cherry Pie kinda sounded like "Pour Some Sugar on me"....but "We Will Rock You" came first!

Cinderella in a class of their own. Not a glam hair band . Undefinable.

19:23 I wonder how many they sold from people watching this special..
best years of my teenage life never married still play guitar although Iam better and I can play bass now to 😂😂😂
Well, they did try to come back in 2000's. Bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine etc sound heavy metal but with less hair. Unfortunately they are short-lived. The problem with 80's hair metal is the lyrics are too shallow. The music is fun but lyrically it's pop with guitar distortion as sugar coat.
Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine are still releasing albums, they aren't short lived...
I actually Love both 80s Metal and 90s Grunge
I hate music elitism

True.
In what world is Bon Jovi even remotely Heavy Metal?
11:23 is that you Ricardo?
16:40 I think he meant Michael SWEET from Stryper.
He may have been referring to Michael Stipe of REM.
Mandilore no, he was referring to Michael Stipe from REM. At the time this came out (1998), REM were still huge, and critical darlings.
Nikki Sixx predicted what was about to happen. Pretty cool. I hated and still do hate grunge. So boring to me. I love the 70’ and 80’s rock bands
80's bands none wants them then explain ironmaiden metallica megadeth anthrax slayer exodus testament
Those bands actually had riffs
Dokken. Was more viable than the other bands.... George Lynch is right... There was a reason metallica opened for them in 1988, because at that stage, they were fuckin better.
Bret Michaels, you sure fool me with the bandana. I have no idea you're balding.
He has extensions,he said it on rock of love
STEEL PANTHER!!!!!!!!!!!
10:55
20:44
Had to click just because Foxy Brown was the click bait.....wtf? She had zero to do with Hair Metal...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Twisted Sister is a parody
Like KISS , musically irrelevant
Some of the best rock bands since Nirvana: Oasis, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers.
They all fucking suck and Oasis only put out one good album. The Strokes are the worst. Kinda glad rap music outshined all those corny post 90's band limiting a chance that none of them ever get into the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Long live GRUNGE.
The music they have now you can't feel at all and they all sound the same just changed the lyrics a little bit The music industry force this music on the airwaves but I guess you have to just go to local clubs again for real music otherwise its one person who can't dance can't sing can't play anything other then a keyboard w all the band on it
Leave Bon Jovi Alooooneee xD
ThatOnePerson Fuck Bon Jovi!!!
Shut up!
These bands are not metal
The 80,s hair metal sucks. There's a lot of good metal and rock in the 80 but hair bands still suck to this day.
