Re: Cock Rock

Nuttin wrong with a nicely timed bit of Jovi or Roses. Cider + cock rock = air guitar heaven

Re: Cock Rock

Cider + Cock Rock = Vomit

Re: Cock Rock

...= ace night out

Re: Cock Rock

I don't know what kind of sick night outs you have but Vomit never features too highly in mine!

Re: Cock Rock

*invites Tom to next vomit party*

Re: Cock Rock

Nothing wrong with air guitar heaven?

Re: Cock Rock

motley crue, dave lee roth era van halen,kiss, poison, hair metal in general i think..

Re: Cock Rock

Anybody remember Tigertailz,Faster pussycat and Pretty Boy Floyd?

Re: Cock Rock

I remember Tigertailz (Beserk was a great album, you got a copy??)

and I vaguely remember Faster Pussycat!

Re: Cock Rock

"I remember Tigertailz (Beserk was a great album, you got a copy??)

Nope,I was more into bands Like Mercyful Fate,Celtic Frost and Kreator at that time.

my gf might have a copy though somewhere.

Re: Cock Rock

I'll pay good omey for a copy of beserk, ebay always ges a bit too ridiculous.

Re: Cock Rock

*money

Re: Cock Rock

cosmik, which Kreator album was Betrayer on?....can't remember.

This a great thread!

Re: Cock Rock

I am pretty sure it is on Extreme Aggression(1993)

I have not listened to them for ages.Got the last album(Enemy Of God)but have'nt listened to it.Anybody know if it is any good?

Re: Cock Rock

Extreme Agression.....aye that's the fella!

Haven't heard any of the new stuff though.

Re: Cock Rock

Skid Row!

Re: Cock Rock

Skid Row's first album was one of my favourite albums at school!!

WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!!!!!!!

Re: Cock Rock

PARK AVENUE LEADS TO...SKID ROW!!!!!!!

Re: Cock Rock

I'm hoping to go see them soon, there playing Rock City which is within walking distance of my house! WOOP!!

Re: Cock Rock

fucking awesome!

Re: Cock Rock

I remember being disgusted with myself at liking the song "Slave to the Grind". On reflection, I think it's a fucking belter of a tune.

Re: Cock Rock

I heart hair-metal!!!!!

Re: Cock Rock

Hair metal is the best genre name ever. We have a lot to thank Kim Thayil for.

Re: Cock Rock

It's a genre that does exactly what it says in it's name!

Hair

and Metal

Re: Cock Rock

'Cherry Pie' by Warrant is a cock-rock classic!

Re: Cock Rock

Vain..remember them anyone?

Re: Cock Rock

Also White Lion.....I still listen to their 2nd album "Big Game".....Vito Bratta the guitarist played some excellent riffs....better than Nuno Bettencourt!

Biggest cock rock gig I saw was Motley Crue, White Lion and Skid Row on the same bill in about 1989....blimey that was a long time ago......bloody great though.

Re: Cock Rock

"Are you crying tonight..."

Loved that album too! :)

Re: Cock Rock

Ahhh, nice one sadpunk Big Game is a great album, glad someone remembers!

Re: Cock Rock

Mike Tramp not only had a great name, but also a great raspy voice!!

Re: Cock Rock

sadpunk, yeah he did have a great voice....I wanna go and put it on now....instead i'm stuck in some office on an industrial estate in Park Royal!

Re: Cock Rock

I have the tape in my car! Along with Skid Row, WASP, Little Angles, and Thunder! :)

Re: Cock Rock

Little Angels....there's another, Do you wana riot if I remember was the first single?.....now, that's a mixtape I wanna hear!

Re: Cock Rock

Urgh... I went to see Little Angels in Saints & Sinners in Glasgow (which later changed its name to King Tut's Wah Wah Hut) because my mates at school convinced me there would be cock rock laydeez present. And were there? Were there f......

Re: Cock Rock

Dude. G'N'R weren't cock rock (well, maybe they became cock, but "Appetite..." was a straight up rock'n'roll record). They were far too raw and had too much punk influence to be 'cock' in the beginning, but I can see that the "Illusions" were rather Cock.

I agree with Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Dave Lee Roth era Van Halen, Kiss, Poison...

Also, LA Guns, Hanoi Rocks, Twisted Sister, Scorpions, Europe, Skid Row (although they might also fall into my G'N'R argument above)...

Re: Cock Rock

My cousin has two albums by Extreme.

Absolute Cock.

80s Kiss without the masks.

Absolute Cock.

Re: Cock Rock

seeming as we're on the subject, has anyone here seen..

The Decline of Western Civilisation: Part II

?

Re: Cock Rock

Neil-mac....yeah seen Decline many times, not for a good few years though...would be great to see it again.

First saw it on late night BBC in the very early 90's.

That season of progs was all about rock and metal etc and had different gigs etc each night.

I remember one night having Metallica live from the justice tour at Hammersmith Odean (as was at that time), Slayer and Napalm Death in one night....you don't get that on terrestrial tv now!

Re: Cock Rock

no way man, thats great, there so many great things that will never get repeated..

ODIN! ODIN!

megadeth were superb on that film..
gene simmons in that lingerie shop, what an idiot..

Re: Cock Rock

and Chris Holmes utterly lashed on his lilo in the pool....damn I wanna see that film again.

Oh yeah, Odin....and then uh London.....I can't remeber some of the other band names on it...apart from the obvious ones.

London originally had Blackie Lawless of WASP fame and I believe Nikki Sixx was also a founding member.

Re: Cock Rock

neil-mac,

Check out this link I found for the show I was talking about......the series is being made into a DVD, I kid you not wooooo hoooo!

Re: Cock Rock

ha, thats really cool, will defintely hve to own that! they're supposedly doing a 'decline of...' dvd box set with all 3 films...but its taking its time..

There was a horrible band in it called Lizzy Borden

Re: Cock Rock

Lizzy Borden covering Born to be Wild in a very LA cock rock style if I remember correctly.

Re: Cock Rock

that video clip is pure gold!

Re: Cock Rock

Wasn't that the Omnibus metal special? I kept that tape for years.

Re: Cock Rock

charlescharlycharles, yep it was the omnibus....I have the tapes somewhere I need to dig 'em out.

Re: Cock Rock

Extreme were crap!

Get the funk out!!!!

Re: Cock Rock

If I hear that 'Keeping Up With the Joneses' song once more I will eat my own ears.


Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock were 90s style cock.

Re: Cock Rock

Andrew WK

Re: Cock Rock

white snake are cock rock with the big hair and leopard skins. GNR arent, except for when Rose wears red undies on stage

Re: Cock Rock

I am not judging your taste rockishere, but it seems that you really like most of the bands mentioned here... (except Led Zeppelin, Mettalica and maybe System of a Down)

On a second though... I do judge your taste! Why do you like these bands anyway?!? Absolutely no creativity, pretentiousness (?), fakeness, hairness (this derives from "hair") and generally shitness!

*Change of mood again*

Sorry... you can like whatever you want, I just wanted to take this out of me!

Peace...

Re: Cock Rock

Man this thread is AMAZING!!! Most of the bands I really hate have been mentioned! I am glad there are other people that realize the cockness of these bands. They really damaged rock n roll during the 80s mainly...

My personal top 5 has been the same for about 10 years now:

Bon Jovi
Scorpions
Guns 'N' Roses
Def Leppard
Aerosmith

Re: Cock Rock

MOTLEY CRUE ... come on !

although nikki sixx did die while partying with slash so g'n'r must be more rock'n'roll than crue

Re: Cock Rock

I bet Slash wouldn't have come straight out of Hospital to shoot up again though. Fair play Sixx! You prize tool!

Re: Cock Rock

cos they get the grrrrrls. whhoooooo baby

It aint good rock n roll really. no substance, poor lyrics and crap pants. i like fret wanking though. and large hair. whhhooooo

Re: Cock Rock

Its one of the sub-genres of rock I despise. Along with most of Kerranngg!'s playlist.

Re: Cock Rock

I think the early Aerosmith albums were rather great. Always a few wanker tunes, to be sure, but that red greatest hits record is a must. One of the first second hand records I bought in the oR Reconstruction period.

Agree early G 'n R (and most of the Illusions were good), Skid Row, and get this one! Cinderella had some catchy cock rock.

Warrent, White Lion or Snake or whatever, Twisted Sister, Kiss (except those really early ones when I was 10 yrs old), Poison - omg! fucking Poison - etc etc were the epitome of shit. Slaughter! Shite. Bryan Adams! Shite. Steve Miller! Shite. Styx! Shite. Foreigner! Shite. REO Speedwagon! Shite. Boston! Shite. ELO! Mostly shite. Striper! Shite. LA Guns* Ultra Mega Shite.

*some fucker outta that married my first kiss. Please note 'Shelley Lippa' on the thank you list on Appetite For Destruction, for my claim to fame. ;-)

Re: Cock Rock

deaf leopard, surely thats cock rock?

Re: Cock Rock

Stryper! I had completely forgotten they even existed. Why they world wasn't instantly converted to the teachings of Christ through their mediocre tunes and bee outfits, I'll never know.

Re: Cock Rock

Stryper have also reformed very recently.

Praise the Lord!

Re: Cock Rock

Hell yes. 1970's A'smith albums are awesome - "Rocks" is especially great.

Re: Cock Rock

Hell yes. 1970's A'smith albums are awesome - "Rocks" is especially great. It wasn;t until the 1980's (Permanent Vacation onwards) that they got a bit 'cock'...

Re: Cock Rock

I listened to Luis XIV this weekend they are cock rocik for a new generation

Re: Cock Rock

I'm pretty impressed by Louis XIV, but cock rock? Don't think so, not unless you consider Marc Bolan and Prince to be cock rock
