+Alex Pisano the 80's never left, its been ignored by recording companies. its all still alive and well in L.A. and other places around the world but you can thank kurt cobain for the ignorance

+Alex Pisano I'd rather bands take the best of the 80's and then mix it with something from 21st century. Just to make it THEIR OWN. Not a revival, but rather a NEW ERA of ROCK 'N' ROLL.

+Alex Pisano They are all in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway... The states almost have nothing left worth listening to. Search Sleaze Metal / Glam Metal and you will find playlists worth listening to. Loved the fun era before the heroin music destroyed the scene ("Poor me my live sucks, and I want to die") and rap bullshit took over. Nothing but stolen tracks pieced together with lyrics about sling dope, how much money they have, and shooting each other, how hard they are (Most never saw a hood or a ghetto) Banging fat hoes.. No musicianship whatsoever.. Give me a screaming guitar any day over that shit. Glad to see it emerging again. Rock on!

indred cold It sort of comes and goes. Ever heard of a band called CRASHDIET?

Yeah good band

+Slimebeast Pug Let's hope for more than that.

+Slimebeast Pug Yeah, and now they are touring with Sebastian Bach for real. (Starting in Late April 2016)

I can imagine it but... Santa Cruz sounds too modern, they are basically a compilation of rock evolution

It actually came out 30 years ago and wasn't super popular, check out Riggs - Radar Rider. No way that was a coincidence.

wow, I thought the same. Have the Heavy Metal soundtrack on vinyl and havent listened to it in years, now reminiscing on the good ol days, what an awesome album except for Donald Fagen's song (not a Steely Dan fan)

Look up Crashdiet, Reckless Love, and Crazy Lixx. The movement is alive and well.

Also Nasty Habit!

Try: Michael Monroe

racor79 He was part of the original scene, so I don't think he counts.

CurtisAlfeld But he still plays! :)

lol what about crazy lixx, reckless love, and crashdiet?

Never heard of those...

Are they wortb checking out?

Li Am Worth checking out?! Crashdiet kickstarted this whole movement and Reckless Love is amazing

Personally, I think that Steel Panther's music is great, but their lyrics are so bland and boring. I mean, it's fun the first 5 times, but come on, it kind of got boring. But yes, Reckless Love and CrashDiet rip.

Totally agree with you Dude!!

How dare you

Well they wanted to be like GNR they became like GNR

ANMA I MACCH It is coming back ;) Scandinavia is doing a great job \m/ ;)

Phoenix van der Weyden check Reckless Love too

TheJost7 I know them actually :) They´re very good , Crazy Lixx is also a very good band from Sweden :)

Phoenix van der Weyden Crazy lixx's future seems unceartain at the moment cuz few days ago their guitar duo left the band...they are a damn good band although and i hope that they find new guitars and carry on

TheJost7 Really ?? I didn´t know that ... i hope they can make through it and continue as a band , imo they´re the best one from the Hard Rock revival in Scandinavia , it´s a real shame :( They release a great album a few months ago

Yes

i saw them live. I went to see Amaranthe and they opened. They're really good live.

aida fernandez Indeed! I saw them on the same tour but I went especially for Santa Cruz haha!

+Night1996Prowler in my town this month , i'm there

Robert Bancroft That's awesome, they will not dissapoint you :D Hopefully they play a full setlist! When I saw them they only got half an our, so they could only play 7 songs :(

headling in sheffield England on the 24th of this month cant wait. by the way check out a Aussie band called Massive , i love em

they metal

Jerry Flemming same as. never heard of them until a few days ago....

i saw them in helsinki

Never heard of them until today.05 9 2018.I loved the 80's from what i can remember.Alot of good coke and drinking!!

This has nothing to do with metal

finnishmetalfreak Except it does. This is Glam Metal.

Eirik36 Are you seriously saying that you havent seen real musicianship in metal except these guys? Then you havent even listened to metal, thats all I can say...

SYNDICAIDRAMON I'm so fuckinf happy I found the re-emerging glam metal scene. I actually got sad thinking about having to steak my dad's cassettes of Slaughter and Badlands and Mötley Crüe thinking music like this would never happen again. Five years later, I stumble upon Reckless Love.

Eirik36 So this isn't chugging and breakdowns? Time to get those ears checked!

what's up mike ? your videos fuckin' rock !

+mike gross Could be that Les Paul with EMG'S? (BTW i love your vids man)

mike gross Hey mike!! Could you perhaps do a tutorial for this riff? Been trying to square it away by ear but it's proving a little tough. Love your work bro \m/

Gotta be Steve Clarke's illegitimate son on bass. Low slung and everything. Almost creepy how much he looks like him. RIP Steve C, (Def Leppard)...Why did these guys break up? I just found them! Sigh

Slash couldn't play one solo by these guys if he had to. LoL...

lol yeh that's because they just released their album in 2013. every band in the world will go through that stage, unless the record label lets them put about 30 songs on their first album looool but every song on there was great. can't wait for the upcoming album.

I know exactly how you feel!!!

***** You just gave a solution. A 30 track album. So that when you're on the road for too long or when you're working out you get constant mind blow!! [I hope someone for corporate listens to this :D :D :D ]

Hatem El Serafy lol yeh but the thing is that would take a long time to do. and the record company wouldn't allow it, they'd tell them to save the songs for the next album.

***** They have a whole lot of songs, they just pick the best for the album and now they tour (in Finland only, i guess) to get that album some attention Thats how it works

They have been in the states. I just saw them in Minnesota last week.

I second that!

and I third that
