I am tempted to get into the "what is and is not Hair Metal" discussion with this one, but I won't...

IMO, the best guitarist on that list is Lynch, but the others are certainly no slouches...

This topic is sorely lacking Paul Gilbert and Andy Timmons.

I choose George Lynch, and I was going to say that Dokken does not belong in the air metal catagory blah blah and then I remembered this album cover.

Best hair metal guitarist Dokken_-_Under_Lock_and_Key

Physical image is one thing, music is another...musically speaking, they were not "Hair Metal"...neither was Skid Row or Tesla or Whitesnake or Cinderella or White Lion or Extreme or Winger or Loudness...on a musical level, these bands were rich and well executed.

I consider "Hair Metal" to be the over-the-top physical image coupled with shallow, meaningless music like Poison or Pretty Boy Floyd or Motley Crue or Tuff or Nitro...on a musical level these bands were shallow, sloppy and were more concerned with being "rock stars" than making music...

100% agree with your defintion of what hair metal is, and that is why I never thought Dokken and other two bands you mentioned belonged in that catagory, but as someone said most people listen with their eyes not their ears.

To me hair metal is a band with a "teased" image and catering lyrically to girls. Smile

Off that list, I picked Warren. I'm not even the biggest Ratt fan, but for whatever reason, I just dig that guy. George & Reb are no slouches either.

Paul Gilbert is a good suggestion too. Good call, Smindas.

Back in the 80's there used to be a term called "pop metal", which was what was generally used for bands like Dokken, White Lion, etc. I have no problem with using that label because it doesn't have the negative connotations that are associated with the term hair metal.

I actually agree with you but when i would use that term people nowadays don't know what i'm talking about.

When i think of Paul Gilbert i think of Racer X not Mr. Big and Racer X was real metal.
