In response to "not a sarcastic question. is Iron Maiden hair metal? -- nm" by loosilu

"Hair Metal" to me depended on the demo the band was trying to attract...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka mel profit) Jan 4 '13, 13:31

early Motley Crue (with the hair and make-up), Bon Jovi, Cinderella, etc were all easily defined as Hair Metal because they were going after chicks.

Maiden was going after boys first, girls second...they were not Hair Metal.
