Ahh, someone who
agrees that
hair metal is back! Not
really a bad thing though. Most of the
new hair metal bands have a
slightly more
90's/
2000 sound. Unlike the above
writeup I am talking about
hair metal as a sound/
genre not just the
hairstyle thing. For example I would certainly also say that
Rob Zombie and
Soulfly don't really count.
However, I would nominate the (quite good) Papa Roach as number one new purveyors of hair metal. They may look like nu-metal kiddies Limp Bizkit, they may not actually have the hair, but they sure as hell sound like hair metal. Also perhaps the band Disturbed.
