Hair Metal Has Outlived 90s Music?
. Satchel tells Songfacts: "Think about the stuff that people were listening to during the 90s when they considered hair metal goofy. There was so much sh*tty stuff on the radio during the 90s. It was virtually all sh*tty. "There were a lot of bands in the 90s getting signed just on their look, just because grunge was in, just because they didn't look 'heavy metal'. Granted, there's a lot of heavy metal that was sucky, as well. But there was also a lot of really, really hooky stuff. "Take Twisted Sister, for instance. They at some point probably got laughed at because they looked the way they looked and when heavy metal went away, people probably went, 'Oh, Twisted Sister, that's so basic and it's so 'cave rock'. "But think about it - Twisted Sister never stopped doing what they do. And their songs, the songs that made them famous, are still totally hooky. We're Not Gonna Take It, that's such a hook."
