Yes Head Banger I see your point,but bands like Poison must not be listed as "heavy metal". As Darth said below....he thinks that it's pop metal...but still "metal"......but its not ANY KIND of metal at all!
None of us here can change what the commercial media wants to categorize these geres but every time I see somebody post and list a band as "metal"...I'm going to have my say on it because "I can".....and I will. Darth,...these bands Poison and Cinerella..ect..are in no way shape or form "metal"..its not "pop metal".....its not hair band metal..its not glam metal .....it is not "METAL" at all. Metal must be left out of these titles.

lol! Yeah hellrider un skinni bop bop bop bop!!! lol! Here is a photo of "Whitesnake" in 1987 the year this album Cobras posted came out....this is nowhere near a "fuck off to glam" attitude...just look at them! lol! If anything...this is a statement "for" the glam scene supporting "glam rock"! Nice pink shirt this guy is wearing hellrider!! lol!
Sorry Cobras...I could'nt let this one slide here....I know your intentions were positive and I know you were just trying to get the point across to those who want to post a classic rock album in this thread..ect..ect..ect..but I had to clear up the aesthetics and genre of Whitesnake in the era of 1987.

| | | J.D. DIAMOND wrote: | | Yeah,but those same bands you say are considered "hard rock" are considered 'heavy metal" by the commercial media....they call "Poison" heavy metal on MTV..ect......
is Poison really "heavy metal" to anyone here?I think not.
With that being said....still Whitesnake are nowhere near being "hard rock" at all. Just because a band pumps up volume with a few riffs..ect..does'nt mean they are "hard" ....Whitesnake are "soft".Just an observation.

Actually J.D., even the glam bands are considered Hard Rock. It's about attitude and volume. Yeah, some if not a lot of the stuff is cheesey pop-metal ala Bon Jovi, but it's still Hard Rock when you strip away the hair and makeup and listen to the songs...a lot of which are very good and actually have meaning.

This is in no way,shape of form a "hard rock" album Cobras....it is simply a (in my opinion "overrated") commercial hair band era 80's "rock" album,not "hard rock"....."hard rock" is Motorhead....hard rock would be some of "AC/DC" not all,but some...hard rock would be some of "Saxon" even though they also play traditional heavy metal they still write hard rock songs...
Hard rock is like some of the Scorpions..ect...these are hard rock bands,Whitesnake is no where near "hard rock"....and the era of the album you posted ..they were "glam" at the fullest dude,bunch of pretty boys with hair spray with the most commercial sound there was at that time.
Sorry Cobras,not trying to make you angry here but Whitesnake is no where even near "hard" to be "hard rock" and thats what you put in the topic is "YOUR CLASSIC HARD ROCK ALBUM OF THE DAY".

Well...classic rock and hard rock deserve attention too. So here is the thread. My album of the day is 1987 by Whitesnake. Great sound, great attitude and style. It's a lot like Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction. Along with Appetite For Destruction and Racer X's Street Lethal, it was a big "Fuck You" to the glam movement. Well done boys.
