How does Glam still exist?
Glam exists since the decade of the 70’s, and it’s been trough some changes, at first it was Glam Rock like Foxy and all of that bands and. when the 80’s began, appeared Glam Metal (which is my [cherrypie] fave) with bands like Dokken Def Leppard Mötley Crüe and Cinderella in the beggining. In the middle of this decade, Glam Metal was at its peak with more bands like Poison, Ratt, Tuff..” All people in Hollywood looked like women!” said Vince Neil member of Mötley Crüe, and it was because of the hair-styles worn by all the great bands at that time. But suddendly when the 90’s decade started, many Grunge and Alternative bands began to appear in the music scene fulling all the people’s ears with idealisms and counterculture and Glam stared to disappear; all the people were already bored of women and men looked like a woman!
So many teenagers began to identify with the new Grunge wave. But in the late 80’s appeared a band called Gun N’ Roses with a new hard sound and they were supposed to save 80’s music, that’s why some call them “The Perils of the Rock N’ Roll Decadence”. But many bands like Mötley Crüe still exist with some new sounds in their albums, and that persistence made Glam Metal lasts to this decade. But wait, more bands arrive with Glam sound wich was weird but it’s great like Vains Of Jenna and Black Rain, all this kind of bands are trying to rescate Glam, and we know for sure GLAM METAL NEVER DIES!

yeah totally. Bowie and his British comrades like T-Rex & Roxy Music kicked some ass for the original glam rock godfathers… but as for glam metal? Yeah, tough one. That’s more of an American 80’s thing…but I definitely agree with KISS or Alice Cooper. There’s also New York Dolls with their I’ll KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU CALL US GIRLS type of attitude. Love it man, love it.
