I think you kind of overlooked that

Its not like i said every band that wears make up make bad music (being a David Bowie fan and all), i was strictly refering to mainstream hair metal from the 80s, not the bands who were involved with its early development, such as Van Halen, Queen, New York Dolls and Alice Cooper...All of whom i like.

IMO Hair metal bands are merely dumbed down versions of those bands, minus the talent.

Like i said before, i put GnR in a different category from hair metal, even if they have quite the same image and were marketed in the same mold...The actual music is just different from other so called "hair metal" bands.

And i usualy judge genres in terms of music and sound, rather than image and region.

i kinda do too, after all, the majority of the 80s hair metal bands music revolved around having fun, partying, girls, and more partying.. but when GNR made it big, even if they were from the same hollywood hair scene, they had more anger and aggression in their music the way metal was originally intended. it kinda kicked every other bands ass that was just into looking pretty & getting laid.
