This thread got me thinking about how I hooked up with my metal/rock/glam friends... you know, back in the days when you left the house to meet people 
Well I can tell you that from the early 90s onwards, I found very few people that liked glam! Metal and rock fans were easy but glam was out of the mainstream by then...
I've lived in several areas of the UK so I've usually had the task of starting again friends wise. I don't know how I did it but I seemed to home in on the metalheads as if I had some built in radar device!!! I would find the main metal/rock pub/club in the town/city and hang out there (Work mates usually pointed me in the right direction for those venues).
Joining a band or DJing helped me get started. Pratice rooms and the local band scenes are great for hooking up with new people. Universities usually have a rock society so that is also worth joining if you are eligible...
I used google to research the rock scene in Leeds and also track down some of the old places I used to hang out, most of them have closed down 
Here is a list of my favourite past venues:
Jilly's Rockworld (Manchester)
Quigley's Nightclub (Hull)
The Festival House (Norwich)
Zoom Nightclub (Norwich)
The Sutherland Arms (Newcastle-Under-Lyme)
The Stage Door (Stoke-On-Trent)
Chico's Nightclub (Stoke-On-Trent)
The Highwayman (Cheadle)
Keele University (Keele)
Researching Leeds from the internet didn't provide me with much information on the rock/metal scene. The BASSMENT was mentioned and RIO's nightclub looked interesting but seems to have closed down. I'm sure you are not the only "glam" fan in the city... I would hope that there is a pub somewhere for the rockers hang out???
Just a reminder that the Social area of GlamRock.com gives members the ability to make friends, create/join groups and post messages on your profile/current status as well as the latest site activity stream.
GOOD LUCK!

Edit
Here is one more tip; attending glam/rock gigs at local venues (even if they are a tribute band) should give you the chance to meet new people within the Leeds area...
For example;
70s rock/pop/glam tribute "After Dark" are playing @ New Roscoe 2/4/11.
AD/DC tribute band "Bon/DC" are playing @ New Roscoe 29/5/11.
Dates may be subject to change!
