I saw it - oh what memories.

I thought the comment of BJ giving birth to hair metal was quite interesting. Thinking about it, they really did. I cannot think of any band that put glam into 'metal' as BJ did. So, in a sense they brought on the spandex, eyeliner, and hairspray revolution and, thus, actually were truly hated for that by the die-hard true metal fans.

BJ, Skid Row, Cinderella, Poisen, etc. were all called 'poseurs' by the 'true metalists' that listened to Black Sabbath and the likes. I remember it all too well
