Rock & Metal In 1986: The Glam Scene BLOWS UP! 

The opening of Night Songs with the howl and bell gets you hooked. Talk about a mood setter, listen to that at night riding alone, it just has a vibe to it.

Great year for rock. Ozzy ultimate sin , night songs, who made who , shot in the dark , dancing undercover 🤘🏻these albums get me through my work days.

I totally agree Who Made Who would be my # 1 AC/DC if it wasn't for Jailbreak. Love those songs best of Bon and Brian.

People like to talk shit about Poison but I have always liked them Great Year

Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin. Killer album! Jake E Lee's guitar work on this record is awesome. The entire band's look, especially Ozzy's, defines hair metal style. Another great vid, Guru!

my 3rd grade into 4th grade was when i became musically aware. that xmas i got a motherlode of cassette’s that shapes my life. that xmas i got all of these, and it was a who’s who of the times. europe - the final countdown bon jovi - slippery when wet poison - lwtcdi loverboy- wildside van halen - 5150

A great year full of fun times and great memories. Thanks for a great show on this awesome year for hair metal.

I still have my 1986 Poison Album. I became a Hair metal fan with that album.

Giuffria’ “ Love you Forever” the second single from “Silk And Steel” is a soaring ballad that should have been a hugely successful single. Giuffria mined it as well as “Radio” on American Bandstand in 1986. “Girl” was a ballad also as was the song “Heartache”. “Call to the Heart” from their self titled debut was a Top 15 Hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. If you don’t know “Lonely In Love” (the follow up single from their debut) check it out as it was played on MTV and charted as well.

Nasty nasty and in heat by black n blue should have blew up the charts

1. =VH= 5150 2. DLR eat em & smile 3. Duran duran notorious 4. Bon Jovi slippery when wet 5. Cheap Trick the doctor

Excellent, Excellent lists guys. I actually just discovered that WAYSTED album about 6 months ago. GREAT WHITE'S Shot In The Dark album has always been one of my favs. The only one I'd add, which would be the bands 3rd or 4th album & also a soundtrack........ FASTWAY - Trick or Treat. Every song is ear candy. As always, thanks for a great watch & keep em' coming !!

Some great picks guys. 1. Cinderella-night songs 2. Fastway-Trick or Treat soundtrack 3. Journey-Raised on Radio 4. Tesla- mechanical resonance 5. Ratt-dancing undercover 6. Poison- look what the cat dragged in 7. Great white- shot in the dark 8. Wasp- inside the electric circus 9. Alice cooper- constrictor 10. Ozzy- ultimate sin Another band I wanted to mention is Flatbacker. They eventually became EZO and I think one of their albums was called ESA. It came out in 1986. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. I do like that album and thanks for another cool episode 🤘🏼👍🏼✌🏼

This has easily become my number one go to channel to just feel good and to remember how lucky I was …. And we ALL ARE …. To have grown up with all this heavy guitar rock mixed with hairspray and make up. Long live hedonism!!!!!

I love this channel I learn about new bands every episode

can't complain with your choices, some never heard of, but I'll be listening to them.

Great White - Shot In The Dark: I have a copy of that on the Telegraph label. I think this was just before they signed with Capitol. Most of the songs sound the same, but the opening track "She Shakes Me" if not for the keyboards could've been on their self-titled album. It's a bit more harder edged than the Capitol release. For me Fastway's Trick Or Treat soundtrack was my favorite release of '86 along with Waiting For The Roar (also '86). A few others: 01. Triumph - Sport Of Kings 02. Alice Cooper - Constrictor 03. Grim Reaper - Rock You To Hell 04. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

Great year in metal! 5150 is my favorite and no mention of the killer title track… Tesla’s debut is a masterpiece. More Than a Man on To Hell With the Devil has a heavy riff. I’ll add : Ultimate Sin - Ozzy Rage For Order - Queensryche

This is James Anthony love the video you guys are always gold together my albums for 1986 are Alcatrazz Dangerous Games Alice Cooper Constrictor Black N Blue Nasty Nasty Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet Cinderella Night Songs Europe The Final Countdown Giuffria Silk + Steel Great White Shot In The Dark Hurricane Take What You Want Keel The Final Frontier Killer Dwarfs Stand Tall King Kobra Thrill Of A Lifetime Krokus Change Of Address Ozzy The Ultimate Sin Poison Look What The Cat Dragged In Quiet Riot QR3 Ratt Dancing UnderCover RoughCutt RoughCutt Wants You Stryper To Hell With The Devil Tesla Mechanical Resonance Van Halen 5150 Vinnie Vincent Vinnie Vincent Invaison Wasp Inside The Electric Circus Zebra 3.V Yngwie Malmsteen Trilogy Bon Fire Don't Touch The Light David Lee Roth Eatem And Smile Fastway Waiting For The Roar Kickaxe Rock The world Queensryche Rage For Order Love the video like I said Anthony you always always rule

I had the Spanish Eat 'Em and Smile in Spanish on cassette. I bought it from Kmart WAY back in the day.

Nice to see some accolades for Racer X. Their second album Second Heat is killer. Paul is able to combine shredding with melody like few people can. The second album features Bruce Boulet, who was Paul’s student. He went on to join The Scream.

Hi Guru 1 and Guru 2, great video again. Yes TFC by Europe could've been a curse for them, Kevin Elson produced the album and did a great job for the time. Kevin Elson is also known for producing Journey's Frontiers album. Ron Nevison the took over Europe's follow up "Out of this World" that added a massive glossy/keyboard production. Ron also produced Ozzy's The Ultimate Sin, another great album that Ozzy completely ignores but sold more than most he's other albums. (Bob Daisley doesn't get the praise he deserves for being Ozzy's right hand man, writing most songs and melodies from 81 (Blizzard of Ozz) to 91 (No more tears). Great mention ref Waysted, this is a gem with Danny Vaughn on vocs, I know Danny Vaughn is actively interviewing and lives in Spain, would be a great interview video. Thanks again for the content. Thanks Ryan aswell

Great video with Ryan! Just listened to my vinyl of MARS' Project Driver the other day. My main honorable mentions that weren't in the video are Ozzy's Ultimate Sin, Alice Cooper- Constrictor, and Bonfire- Don't Touch the Light. I also really enjoy Shark Island's S'Cool Bus, Brighton Rock's Young, Wild, and Free, and most of the thrash classics from 86. The last album I have to mention is Hyde's self titled album. I got the CD re-release of it on Retrospect Records years ago. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's a fun Sunset Strip album

My favorite albums from 1986 will always be Rage for Order by Queensryche, To Hell with the Devil by Stryper.

Hard to argue with Guru's number 1. Seen them 6 times over the years and they kicked ass every single show, big venue to small club. Great vid as usual. Have you heard the Peacemaker tv show Spotify Playlist (not the soundtrack)? Would make for a cool review video, especially if you've seen the show as the soundtrack is blended in perfectly. Some great hair/sleaze bands and some more obscure cuts along with some hits, can tell James Gunn is a legit 80s rock/metal fan. Plus it randomly has the modern poppy hard rock masterpiece Choose Me from Band-Maid, the all female Japanese rock band who channel the spirit of the best of old school hard rock and are worth checking out in their own right.

Poison's Want some need some , Cat dragged in , #1 bad boy & Cry tough hooked me. I love Europes Final countdown , i lost interest with them until 2006's Secret Society & have really enjoyed most since. Their album War of Kings was easily my favorite to date. Stryper's The covering is a fantastic covers album.

You mentioned London and it really is so crazy how many people joined that band then left and became successful in other bands I think their is a current version of the band still out their playing

Judas Priest turbo would be my number 1 as well , great show man

Love RATT, love that sound

Thanks dude for another great video!

I know this is a hair metal channel but it would be cool to hear your opinion on legendary 86' LPs like Reign in Blood, Master of Puppets, Peace Sells. Alot of us wore Metallica and Slayer t-shirts but still jammed out to Crue Ozzy VH and Bon Jovi

Hank Sherman from "Fate" was also in Merciful Fate with King Diamond.

Night songs rocks! An absolute killer album, my favorite from 1986.

Rob Rock also sang for Warrior.

Interesting fact about that Fate band, it featured guitarist Hank Sherman from Mercyful Fate which is wild considering the dark metal Hank played in Mercyful Fate with King Diamond on vocals! Hank would eventually leave Fate and go back to Mercyful Fate where he remains to this day. As for Fate, the original bass player has a new version of the band currently going.

Queensryche Rage For Order #1, Yngwie Trilogy #2, Van Halen 5150 #3, Ratt Dancing Undercover #4, Ozzy The Ultimate Sin #5. Honorable Mentions: TKO Below the Belt & Fastway Trick or Treat.

Poison was the epitome of hair metal I really liked their first 3albums than they lost me.

Cry Tough, Fallen Angel and Ride the Wind proved Poison could write and perform fun, uptrmpo songs that had a bit of depth, lyrically. Don't know why Cry Tough didn't break them - guess it was just too early.

Sarzo had actually rejoined Quiet Riot when they hired Paul Shortino to replace the fired Kevin DuBrow. Chuck Wright had departed to be on the third Giuffria album which ultimately turned into the House of Lords debut. Sarzo was in the band as they were about to work on material for the self titled 1988 album but he left to join Whitesnake.

Which album cover do you like for Slippery When Wet?

A little tidbit about Fate. Hank Sherman, their guitarist, came from Mercyful Fate with King Diamond. He left because he wanted to write more pop music, much to King’s dismay. I loooooove Hank’s playing. An underrated and under appreciated player, for sure.

Ultimate Sin Ozzy Turbo Judas Priest Van Halen 5150 Boston Third Stage (played 8 consecutive shows at the Centrum (Worcester Ma) saw 2 Night Songs Cinderella

I was literally listening to the first 2 Cinderella albums this after. Not sure if this is a controversial opinion, but as monumental as some of these albums are, with the exception of Ratt (and maybe Cinderella), I prefer the follow upsto almost all of them. Cheers!

Guru.. 1986 an unknown melodic hair metal MASTERPIECE to check out is Le Mans. My top 3 are Love lies, chain around your heart, sex, guitars, and rock n roll, don't wanna work, never want to see you cry (I know you love the ballads), addicted, misunderstanding, and bad reputation.

Originally Fate was Mecyful Fate's Hank Shermann's glam band. I cannot stand Mercyful Fate, but Fate is a really great band. And they got even better when Shermann left after the first two album.

I agree that what followed Stryper's "To Hell with The devil" was either too pop or trying too hard to go with the groove metal thing but they came back on track with "No More Hell to Pay" and everything after that. Really worth checking those albums.

Mark Boals was on four Yngwie albums if you include Inspiration, his covers album.

This is sacrilegious to say as a fan of the genre, but I really cant stand the songs Nobodys fool or Night songs. Best Cinderella imo is The Last mile

I'm a Christian too Anthony, that's the only stryper album I really liked. Like w.a.s.p. better 😆 86 I was 11 years old. I was mostly listening to kiss because of my older brother. I would go to school wearing kiss shirts and my teachers would say I listen to them 😂

People give QR III a bad rap. 1 song is a clunker. It's a great album..

Nasty nasty by black n blue, Kiss ripped off the riff for Domino on Revenge 😂 also Kiss of death is a straight up banger from that album.

What year was wasted rock ranger seems like I played it alone that summer or was it 87 my memories are hazy

Fate were ex-members of Mercyful Fate. They obviously went a total different direction. “Limbo A Go-Go” is catchy but super cheesy.

There are two others… 23:50. One lives in the south and the other in the Pacific Northwest.

Only disappointed that FATE was mentioned without the bizarre Spinal Tap explanation that this is remnants of the all time classic, dark, satanic metal band MERCYFUL FATE, infinitely more popular and FATE, and rather hilarious the big bad metal guys turned into a total pop-hard-rock band. Just like when GRAVE DIGGER tried to be DIGGER.

Ryan you couldn't come up with 10 albums in 86 that you had to put in 5150? It's about as glam as my sisters box.

Where do you put except in the metal world

Good for you admitting you're a Christian. Some won't do that as they are afraid of what people will think.

Where’s Bathhouse Bryan on this one?

Ultimate Sin is my fave Ozzy. Great White is better blues than Cinderella!!! Most of the catalog is great!!

Stryper is much heavier live. Oz Fox is a good base player
