Let there be hair rock
Last week a friend asked if i had a copy of the Motley Crue song Dr. Feelgood. I did so happen to have this sweet little ditty in my collection and the thought of it inspired me to compile a bitchin best of 80′s (and early 90′s) hair metal mix CD. So far this is the tracklisting:
- Dr. Feelgood – Motley Crue
- Unskinny Bop – Poison
- Poison – Alice Cooper
- Cherry Pie – Warrant
- Paradise City – Guns’n'Roses
- Jump – Van Halen
- Lay It Down – Ratt
- Let’s Get Rocked – Def Leppard
- You Give Love a Bad Name – Bon Jovi
- Hot for Teacher – Van Halen
- No One Like You – Scorpions
- Kickstart My Heart – Motley Crue
A perfect compilation for all those moments when you need a good headbangin and/or air guitar/drum session.

ooooooooooh, cock rock.
I prefer the term “mullet rock” – there was a GOLD “name that mullet rock” category at the roxbury trivia night a few weeks ago. Thanks to my Penriff born and bred flatties we got 10/10
A certain big brother of mine used to have rather long flowing brown locks (although unfortunately never mulletted), any chance of a pic Dan?
Even though i had the long hair for at least a couple of years I don’t think i have any pics. Those were the days before the ubiquitous digital camera. But there may be some photos in a shoebox back at me mum’s place.
someone at the judgement bar, in the wee hours of the morn, once told me that unskinny bop was about banging pregnant chicks…suddenly the chorus made sense.
If you were going for a Metal/Ballad angle you’d have to include some Skid Row. Sebastian Bach was hot hot hot back in the day.
My little brother used to have long brown hair too. He was going through a Poison/RATT/Whitesnake phase. He also wore acid wash jeans and DB’s but at the time, so did a lot of people, particularly bogans. His excuse was that he was in his early teens so anything he did prior to 15 doesn’t count against his ‘cred’.
Oh yeah, i missed out on a Skid Row track. They deserves a spot in there somwhere.
Hair Metal, or at least a modern bastardisation, seems to be making a resurgence of late. You’ve got bands like The Darkness, Brides of Destruction, Velvet Revolver and local lads Hell City Glamours all holding the torch. Everything old is new again.
Dont worry Dan, I’m sure I have many a photo of you with long hair.
I would also like to amend my previous statement- I actually have two big brothers who used to have long lucious locks (darren, you can provide your own evidence or i’ll go straight to your mum…)
But (unfortunately) my dear husband actually used to look like a melting pot of those in the bands mentioned above, with naturally blonde and curly hair and in his latter teens he styled his mullet with precision and grace. Strangely enough though I dont think I kept any pictures.
I am sure there is some evidence of Marks Mullet somewhere Annie, although I believe all photos of my ponytail years were lost in the tragic (read: mysterious) Great Fire of whitechapel in 98…
Impressive collection, sirrah!
Man, the soundtrack for my Cock Rock themed house warming has suddenly gotten even better. Woo!
