1. Bring your flame resistant clothes for Great White ........

:sarcasm:

[iconoclastic cat]

2. On what planet are these bands considered "metalhead" bands?

All three of them were bad, psuedo-glam hard rock for frat chicks.

[Left Is Write]

4. The only Blackhawk I know is a country band.

[Kat45]

No, Great White was/is a bluesy hard rock bar band.

Saw them in a bar and they were really good. Unfortunately, after the tragic RI nightclub fire, no place in New England will book them, not even for a show the band proposed specifically to raise money for the victims and their families.

14. I figured Night Ranger was a metalhead band.

My goof, but the concerts are free.

The beer and brats aren't. :D

3. I was right on the fire resistant suit ................

5. Would anyone pay to see those bands?

Just saying...

[Maestro]

6. Great White is still good

Been through much tragedy though. Never heard of Blackhawk. NR? Well, I left them in the 80's.

16. Don't forget Europe!

:P

17. How about Cinderella?

[Left Is Write]

20. Somebody Save Me.

[jandrok]

21. Cinderella was more glam than metal

But they had a couple of cool grooves on that one album. Their lead guitar player was actually pretty good with a blues riff.

They reminded me too much of a 70's era hard rock outfit called "Angel". The singer looked just like their lead guitar player, whose name was Punky Meadows. The pouty lips, the hair, it was all very retro.

[name not needed]

15. No wonder it's free

No one in their right mind would pay to see those bands.

[wyldwolf]

18. I was a big Night Ranger fan

Of course all the bands you mention are metal.

"metal" takes on new definitions with each generation.
