I write the lyrics based on what is going on in my life - I'm not going to write about the old hair metal stuff, like castles and stuff.
I am the man who put the hair in hair metal.
No band on 21st-century radio has mined pre-grunge hair-metal's sleaze like L.A.'s Buckcherry. So it makes poetic sense that they'd spend their sixth album tallying all seven deadly sins.
If you're into metal, then you should like hair metal!
My attitude was always, if you are a huge metal fan, the more dedicated and more obsessive a metal fan you are, then why wouldn't you like more metal, widen your net, and include hair metal?
I'm not ashamed to say that I really loved some of the hair metal bands of the '80s.
Around the mid-'90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing.
