Rockers Play Their Favorite Hair Metal Riffs 

No "Lay it Down" main riff by Ratt? its an amazing riff!!!

WASTED! Van Halen and Def Leppard really was the sound of that era.

Steve Clark's riffs are so underrated

Ratt had some of the greatest riffs of this era, too. Lack of communication, lay it down, wanted man, etc. are all classics.

That LP Vivian is playing is like a $450 dollar Epiphone Worn in Ebony, with some mods. He always prefers the beaters that just look the part. They all sound killer when set up properly.

The best riff comes from that era and NWOBHM

"Yeah, we know Van Halen aren't hair metal" Good thing you said that... * shaking fist * Haha.

Hysteria

“Heavy Metal an Mullets were how we were raised. Maiden and Priest were the Gods that we praised.”

Wow. Def Leppard got the spotlight in this video. Yes, I know Van Halen is not hair metal, but I still think they're hair metal anyway.

Shocked no one played WASP

2:23 still searching for "creamy little fly". Does someone know the name of the Def Leppard Song?

wtf is at 6:50

Steel Panther destroys all

Stop calling it hair metal. The actual genre is heavy metal with several sub genres. Hair metal is a derogatory term. You'd think Loudwire would know.

How fun is Wait or Little Fighter by White Lion?
