    First!

  2. Bix Nood says:

    You forgot cocaine, spandex, fast cars, and stylist.

  3. RJ says:

    *Shrugs*

    I could certainly name MANY bands off the top of my head that didn’t.
    Don’t generaliza Glam Metal with Heavy or Thrash Metal.

    • Jefoid says:

      Bring it; name 5. I dare you.

      • Jefoid says:

        And no crap “indie” bands no one has ever heard. This is a popular culture site. (I don’t think it’s as easy as you say)

        • RJ Lowe says:

          Iron Maiden
          Megadeth
          Metallica
          Ozzy/Sabbath
          Slayer

          • Jefoid says:

            Surely you jest. Slayer? 3 of 4 have girl hair. The name alone makes them complete wannabees. Megadeth? Rob Sardella had the prototypical chick look and hair through the 80’s. Sabbath was a 70’s band. (Started in ‘68 actually) Iron Maiden was total hairspray through the 80’s. (also a 70’s band, 1975) I think you may have one there with Metallica.

            So, OK, that’s one. 4 to go.

            • SleeeeepyGirl says:

              Erm… I don’t think Rob Sardella was in Megadeth. And Slayer as wannabees?! Hush yo’ mouth!

              I certainly don’t think ’80s thrash/speed/death metal bands were loath to touch hairspray (nice ‘dos there, Celtic Frost), but they were probably more guilty of using InstaPerm than anything else. And when they did get busy with the AquaNet, they caressed it lovingly, sweetly, unlike glam’s wham-bam-thank-you-ma…ooh-look-another-chick! approach. That’s just the way they rolled. Gentle-like.

              • RJ Lowe says:

                Correct. Rob was never in Megadeth.
                Good eye.

                • SleeeeepyGirl says:

                  And not that it really matters, but Killing Is My Business was more like ‘85. I saw them in ‘88 for So Far, So Good… So What. Disappointing show, actually.

                  And that concludes our Megadeth lesson of the day. :)

                  • RJ Lowe says:

                    Wow.
                    Yeah.
                    I’m on crack.
                    Kill ‘Em All was released in 82.
                    Megadeth was formed approx. 83.
                    Killing would have been 84,85ish.

                    Holy crap I feel like a complete idiot.
                    Because Rust came out in 91.

                  • RJ Lowe says:

                    I think I’m in love o_o
                    A girl who knows a TON of metal knowledge.
                    You are a rare species, my lady.

                    • SleeeeepyGirl says:

                      Shucks. :)

                      Personally, I wish there were more of us ladies in the world. It’s a terrible thing to go to lunch with your girlfriends and ask “Seriously, The Mechanix or The Four Horsemen? Or is that a stupid question?” only to have them look at you like you’re insane. Alas.

                      • Jefoid says:

                        I think the fact that you have to subdivide various hairspray/perm uses kind of makes the point doesn’t it? The 80’s were a tragic, tragic time.

                        My bad on Sardella. Research fail. Substitute Dave Mustaine.

                        • SleeeeepyGirl says:

                          I think the fact that I have to subdivide various hairspray uses means that the one-size pie slice does not fit all. But I nitpick. This is GraphJam, after all.

                          Yes, the ’80s were a tragic time. There are fashion disasters to make one weep in every decade. We might’ve been better off today had Mustaine and some of his brethren put the pick (hair, that is) down. I’ll still take the ’80s thrash version of tragedy over the ’80s glam version any day.

                          Mustaine FT intoxicated W!

                      • RJ Lowe says:

                        A question almost everyone I talk to has absolutely no clue what I’m talking about.

                        Tragic.

                        But seriously, The Mechanix FTW.

            • SleeeeepyGirl says:

              The thought of Kerry King with some nice, Jersey claw bangs makes me all giggly. Tee hee!

  4. V Gard says:

    Explain why any 80s bands would need to PAY for women?

  5. Jules says:

    WIN for the simple fact that the creator took the time to use a different color scheme.

  6. liloaktree says:

    Note that women are not actually a product.

  7. J Dilla says:

    did the women musicians also spend money on women?

  8. Joshua Thorington says:

    Should have had 30% “Synthesis”.

  9. amanda says:

    Uhm, definitely forgot cocaine and heroin…they played just a big a part as leather and booze…..

  10. Jakob says:

    Because it’s midnight!
