Glam is comin back baby get ready for it. Tigertailz will lead the revolution. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
hey there I'm usealy a lurker but couldn't help but post I've read most of the older postings and everyone seems realy nice on this board I moved to new orleans about 5 years ago in october you could wear make up but summer there's almost no way so most of the goth/glam kids leave so the shows are more after sept summer is borring but good side bars never close [img]smile.gif[/img]
Tigertailz are gonna lead a revival? Don't hold your breath!!!
Not been to New Orleans, but I have pals down in MS and hopefully I'll be back there soon enuff. I can understand the summer being too hot for guys in greasepaint, lol.
First of all...what I was trying to say was that thingz have seemed to be picking up here recently....then thought I'd mention a few other glam thingz that have coincidentally been happening. as far as a full on glam revival. I doubt it would ever happen. Like a few have said...butts of too many jokes. But ya never know.
But I will say that the people that have promoted Nirvana too much were mostly the same people that promoted butt rock too much in the late 80's/early 90's. I have all the old magz. Same magz....all nu metal. If it comes back....the magz will follow. They won't lead. They never do. Either does MTV. They follow what comes out of the underground.
On another note, Carl is right about a lot of Grungers having glam influence. I was here. I saw AIC when they were fairly glam. They wore flannel, but also makeup. I saw Talks Cheap open up for Mother Love Bone. I saw Alice in Chains open up for Pretty Boy Floyd. I think they opened up for Vain too. IMO, there is no clear direction right now out there. It probably won't be fuul on glam, but something like Robin Black, I could see going mainstream. It may not be full on glam, but some kind of hybrid. And it most definately won't be an old glam band that leads the revival if there is one. It'll be someone new that comez out of nowhere....just like GnR, and Nirvana did. I hope there is something though.....
The hype of Nirvana was a symptom, not the cause. I do recall the media insisting they were not going to have a repeat of the early 70s or 80s, and that was why they were promoting grunge.
I do agree that glam will never be anything like it ever was before because too many stupid jokes were made about it. The discourse seems to be in the hands of the likes of Adam Horowitz and crew, and they invented the term "mullet".
Anyone who underestimates the hegemony of the grunge lovers is sorely misinformed.
As I've said, it's got to be hooked up to a different type of music. And yes, whatever happens will be something completely out of left field.
I love conjyunto y nortenya y ranchera...
I still say MTV had alot to do with Nirvanas rise.
fun fact: AIC opened for Poison in 91 [img]cool.gif[/img]
I don't know about any of you, but I am actually fine with Glam staying underground for the most part. It keeps the music honest in that nobody in the scene is playing the music only because it's what is cool this week. I want a scene of kids like many of us were, who found the music, and fell for it no matter what the consequenses could be, and stuck to it and did it. If it becomes big again, then all the Britney/Backstreet/Limp Bizkit/Outkast fans will come running to this style and start doing this stuff, thereby flooding the scene again, and thereby creating the joke again.
All old style become the butts of jokes, BTW. I have heard more than my fair share of Grunge jokes now, and the Nu Metal scene is starting to get them. It is the same as fashion, whatever is out, is a joke. Remember in the 80's how much of a joke the 70's fashions were? Now they are cool again.
Jay, you can justify anything you would like, and that is cool. But please, for God's sake man, DO NOT TRY AND JUSTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF THE MULLET!!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
I completely agree with you Carl. Rockers are always blaming Nirvana,Grunge for killing the Hard Rock scene. Bands like Trixter, Firehouse and several others maded the scene implode. Every band was coming out with a power ballad as their 1st single?...how rock is that? The only ones to blame are the bad bands and the sheep who listened to their A&R guys to the letter.
I notice the same trend in RAP. Record companies are looking for a quick hit, a tax right off and no artist development for the most part. Some friends of mine were on a big label in the states. They got dropped even though they sold 200K CD's. That would have never happened in the 70's or 80's. The label would invest in you for at least 2-3 albums. Now you have to sell 500K + or you get dropped. The only way you wouldn't is if you're a credibility artist like IGGY or Sonic Youth. Okay off topic I know.
IMO, I'd rather see things come back more of a sleeze thing. That's where I see things heading on the West Coast and East Coast of Canada. Bands like Robin Black, Crystal Pistol, Cheerleader666, Chinatown, Spin Dizzy, NastyOn, The Rumours, All have more of sleazy/trash vibe then an all out glam look.
I know everyone on this board desparately wants the Kiss Animalize tour look to come back...ROFL
