Customer Reviews:

Good value, great rawk........2006-09-25

I have no problem at all with the re-recordings here. For my money, there are two times when re-recordings are unacceptable:

* When the production, arrangements and playing on the original are simply too good to re-create (stuff from Motown, Stax, Sun, etc.)

* When the artists doing the re-recordings are many years past their peak, and can't sing or play as they used too.

Neither is the case here. Let's face it -- hair metal is tasty junk food: it goes down easy and isn't all that hard to prepare. Road-tested bands like Quiet Riot or L.A. Guns can knock out a version of their hit songs are that every bit as good -- if not better -- than the original recording without breaking a sweat. And they do, multiple times throughout this set.

Three disks of goodtime rock and roll, with some real gems scattered throughout. A major bargain for the money. Get it, and use the savings to stock up on hair spray...if you still have hair.

hair metal is the best metal for the 80s!!!!.......2006-07-16

when i lived in the eightis i was very young but not too young for metal because i liked it when i was young and now rthat i am older i still like it!! my favorite song is the cherry pie song because when i was youn my mom would make cherry pie for me and my brtother on the night that alf was on and when alf was over she would make us go to bed but instead of sleepuing we would listen to metal inside of our beds becuase it's the best music and is better than the music that people play now!!! if you like to hear metal from the 80s then lsiten to these recdorings of metal from the eights wouyld be the best i dea you ever had!!

The Big Hair 80's from VH1 is MUCH better!!!!!!!!!.......2006-05-22

Don't let the cover and the numerous bands fool you!!!!
This is a VERY INCOMPLETE collection of Metal Hair bands.

Buy the VH1 Big Hair version instead! maybe is a single cd, but it has the best Hair bands and some of their greatest hits like:
* Quiet Riot- Cum on Feel the Noize
* Poison- Talk Dirty to Me
* Ratts- Round and Round
* Whitesnake- Here I go Again
* Scorpions- Rock you Like Hurricane
* Warrant- Cherry Pie
* Cinderella- Last mile
* We're not Gonna Take It- Twisted Sister
AND MORE!!!

So don't waste your money on this BIG expensive and incomplete collection and buy the cheapest, single and BEST collection so far of 80's Hair Metal "VH1 Big Hair: The Big 80's"

Adios.

This Is 80s Rerecorded, Live Metal.......2006-01-02

This album has alot of major hair bands like Warrant, Quiet Riot, Cinderella, and the Bullteboys. This album also has alot of overlooked hair bands like Jet Boy, Love/Hate, and King Kobra. This album is is three discs seperated as such:

DISC ONE:
Some of the original recordings, but most are rerecorded or remixes of the songs.
DISC TWO:
All the songs on this disc are live versions of the songs
DISC THREE:
Every song is a power ballad. Some are the originals, some are rerecordings by the singers of the band who originally made them, and a few are covers of classic hair metal songs.

All of the bands in this set are excellent. Buy this if your only a fan of these songs, but if you truly love these band or hair metal in general, buy their albums.

FALSE ADVERTISING - Buyer Beware.......2005-08-20

I definitely appreciate the positive comments of some of the previous reviewers, but I think that for most of us, this set is an absolute zero.

I imagine that why most people are buying this set is to hear the familiar hooks that will remind them of a time now twenty years in the rearview mirror. I'm not going to go into many specifics of the album--see the previous review--but I imagine that when most of us want "80's hair metal", we want the music from the 80's, recorded in the 80's. To me, Warrant covering their own songs years later, when Jani Lane's voice is noticeably lower and the guitar playing is not nearly as flashy is not "80's hair metal". Bret Michaels doing a one-man acoustic version of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is not "80's hair metal". Kip Winger's solo studio outtake of "Headed for a Heartbreak" is not "80's hair metal".

Deadline Records violated their corporate responsibility by publishing this album without a LARGE NOTICE that tells consumers that these are not the original recordings of the songs. I have little doubt that Deadline's lawyers would carefully craft a statement, saying "Nowhere on the record do we claim that these are original recordings." But I also have little doubt that they are only too pleased when people buy and open the discs thinking that the songs are originals, and then find themselves unable to return opened CD's.

If you want to dance at a rave to a techno version of Faster Pussycat's "House of Pain", then this is the set for you. If you want to actually hear 80's Hair Metal, then go to a bar and listen to cover bands--it's nowhere to be found on this set.
