YOU WANT OLD HAIR METAL VIDEOS? OH, YOU SHALL HAVE OLD HAIR METAL VIDEOS!

Continuing with Vince’s theme that we’re not hairy enough around here these days, here’s two of my faves: Cinderella’s video for “Shelter Me” (which is both righteous and self-righteous) and LA Guns’ video of “Long Time Dead.” I think both of these songs show that these bands were better than people really gave them credit for – the Cinderella track is just a sneeze away from being a Black Crowes song and the LA Guns number could have come off of Achtung Baby or whatever other contemporary rock album the yuppies were buying that year. Which is not to say that they’re “great,” exactly, just better than Winger.

CINDERELLA, “SHELTER ME”
