1:21

Celebrity voice impersonated by

1:23

Zach Thron. And

1:25

reports tonight on how

1:27

destruction is impacting the

1:30

campus community. Names of

1:32

O'Hara Hall, Skid Row, T-Zone,

1:35

BAMTS, badass, badass motherfuckers. Soft,

1:37

sit on my face, drinking

1:39

like fucking ass free games,

1:41

as we call it. What

1:44

is this dorm damage? Our

1:46

tuition state, dorm damage! Well,

1:48

we only broke like three

1:51

chairs in four deaths this

1:53

month! Is that a positive

1:55

thing? Bam!

2:01

That's right, we're back with another

2:03

episode of Dorm Damage, the show,

2:05

or anything and everything is on

2:07

the table, and the table gets

2:09

smashed. This is episode 93, and

2:11

we're back with another list, but

2:13

this time it's Loudwire. And this

2:15

article is written by our friend

2:17

Sydney Taylor. We met her a

2:19

couple years back at the Winery

2:21

Dogs Tour, and work in the

2:23

merch booth. Sydney's great. Put together

2:25

a great article here, Zeus. What's

2:27

this one? And best hair metal

2:29

albums by non-hair metal bands. Okay,

2:31

so the thing I like about

2:33

articles like this is now we

2:35

get to fight over Is this

2:37

band hair metal and is this

2:39

band non-hair metal? Is this band

2:41

non-hair metal? Is this album hair

2:43

metal? So you're gonna be mixing

2:45

a lot of different things here

2:47

So this is a good one.

2:50

So let's get right into it

2:52

here and start off with number

2:54

10 and the first one here

2:56

as we mentioned on a previous

2:58

shut it out loud cast episode

3:00

here regarding kiss in their hair

3:02

metal Crazy Nights, Zeus. So Tom,

3:04

I would think that if you

3:06

say kiss and hear metal, the

3:08

first instinct would say crazy nights

3:10

album. I think we both would

3:12

agree on that. Now, you know,

3:14

as we discussed on the other

3:16

episode, I don't want to get

3:18

into too much details about that.

3:20

But there are, we have different

3:22

opinions of what's really a here

3:24

metal album for kissing that. But

3:26

I don't know about you, but

3:28

Crazy Nights is... the definition of

3:30

kiss in the hair metal stage.

3:32

Without a doubt, yeah. No one's,

3:34

yeah. And if you want to

3:36

hear more about our kiss and

3:38

hair metal discussion, you can certainly

3:40

check that out on, shout it

3:42

out loud cast, but Crazy Nights,

3:44

no one's going to deny that

3:46

one. Now, you would say best

3:48

hear metal album. Do you like

3:51

Crazy Nights? I love the album.

3:53

I hate the title track, but

3:55

I love the album. Yeah, I

3:57

would say this is definitely in

3:59

that era one of the air

4:01

metal albums. Without a doubt. Without

4:03

a doubt. Yeah. Next on the

4:05

list. Oh, we actually. We actually

4:07

did this on an album review

4:09

crew and the album sucks. Trash

4:11

by Alice Cooper. Now, full disclosure,

4:13

I'm not an Alice Cooper fan

4:15

at all. I know people really

4:17

like this album because it's very

4:19

slick. Whatever we talked about on

4:21

A.R. C. Zeman. Right. Exactly. Yep.

4:23

I don't know. Tom. For me,

4:25

this is the definition too of

4:27

Alice Cooper in the hair metal

4:29

kind of. era stage yeah yeah

4:31

songs are very hair metalish yep

4:33

riffs the choruses pop very poppy

4:35

very pop centered yep Alice Cooper's

4:37

not a hair metal front man

4:39

and he's definitely not someone say

4:41

oh hear metal Alice Cooper he's

4:43

not here metal he's not here

4:45

metal no he had a here

4:47

metal phase like a few other

4:49

bands yep yeah yeah exactly okay

4:52

so this is this one's really

4:54

interesting hysteria hysteria so it's No,

4:56

no, no, but my question, so

4:58

this is, remember, this is an,

5:00

this is an article about it.

5:02

Hair metal albums by non-hair metal

5:04

bands. I don't think death leopard

5:06

is a hair metal band, but

5:08

they get good in there. Thank

5:10

you, I agree with you. I

5:12

don't, I've never considered, but a,

5:14

I've never considered, but a lot

5:16

of times, but a, a, I've

5:18

never considered, but a, because if

5:20

you, if you, there are the

5:22

first three albums, three albums are

5:24

not hair metal. That's not at

5:26

all. It's not a term at

5:28

all. Pyromania is pop metalish but

5:30

it's not hair metal. Foreshadowing but

5:32

it's not the hair metal stage

5:34

or era. But then you got

5:36

obviously hysteria and then you can

5:38

say adrenalize by after adrenalize that

5:40

every nobody's doing hair metal look

5:42

or or stuff. I know this

5:44

is splitting hair. But just bear

5:46

with me. I don't even know

5:48

if hysteria is hair metal. Oh

5:50

absolutely. But to me I know

5:53

again I'm splitting his. It's. It's

5:55

pop metal. To me, when I

5:57

think of hair metal, I think

5:59

of like drinking. party and bang

6:01

and chicks do it like that

6:03

like there's none of that on

6:05

hysteria. Can I give you an

6:07

example? Go ahead. All I have

6:09

to do is think about fucking

6:11

pour some sugar video. Okay that's

6:13

fair. Show Elliot with the most

6:15

hair metalish mullet hair due. No,

6:17

that's fair. And the girls in

6:19

the crowd in the video. That

6:21

is about his hair metal and

6:23

love and love bites is a

6:25

bad power. I get it. I

6:27

get it. Okay. All right, before

6:29

we go to the next one,

6:31

let's take a quick little break.

6:33

Exima isn't always obvious, but it's

6:35

real. And so is the relief

6:37

from Evgless. After an initial dosing

6:39

phase of 16 weeks, about four

6:42

in 10 people taking Epglis achieved

6:44

itch relief and clear or almost

6:46

clear skin, and most of those

6:48

people maintain skin that's still more

6:50

clear at one year with monthly

6:52

dosing. Ebglis, library kizumab, LBKZ, a

6:54

250 milligrams, a 250 milligrams, a

6:56

250 milligrams, a 250 milligram, a

6:58

250 milligram, a 250 milligrams, with

7:00

moderate severe to severe ecz severe

7:03

ecz, can be used with or

7:05

without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if

7:07

you're allergic to epglis. Allergic reactions

7:09

can occur that can be severe.

7:11

Eye problems can occur. Tell your

7:13

doctor if you have new or

7:15

worsening eye problems. You should not

7:17

receive a live vaccine when treated

7:19

with epglis. Before starting upglis, tell

7:21

your doctor if you have a

got next here? We have... I

9:08

don't know anything about this album

9:10

because I don't like this band,

9:13

but you do, Zeus. So tell

9:15

us about scorpions, savage amusement. I

9:17

would say, yes, this is a

9:19

here medal. album now if it's

9:21

funny go back just before that

9:23

that's right in that quiet riot

9:25

death leopard pyromania which was like

9:27

love it for staying rock and

9:29

you know rock you like a

9:31

hurricane big city nights yeah even

9:34

the video like all that shit

9:36

is not hair metal it's not

9:38

it's fucking straightforward hard rock rock

9:40

rock you like a heavy metal

9:42

Rocky like a hurricane is about

9:44

as hair metal as you can

9:46

be without being hair metal. I

9:48

mean, how do they hear metal?

9:50

The fucking video is nothing to

9:52

do with it. They're here. Oh,

9:54

I'll talk about the video. They

9:57

weren't like glamy looking in that.

9:59

It was about 83, 80. before,

10:01

like, it was before the hair

10:03

metal explosion that came out. So

10:05

get about, that was hard. That

10:07

song was fucking also hard. Yeah,

10:09

I know, I know. For people

10:11

like in music then. But savage

10:13

amusement is the rhythm of love,

10:15

things like that, that was very,

10:18

and even their look was kind

10:20

of, you know, glamier way back

10:22

then. Would it close to start

10:24

to wear ripped jeans? Like don't

10:26

stop at the top, it just.

10:28

I don't even know what that

10:30

is, thank God. Next one here,

10:32

1987, self-tiled White Snake. Yes. Yeah.

10:34

That is the definition of a

10:36

band going, all right, we're in

10:38

our here metal stage. Yeah, then

10:41

they doubled down on the next

10:43

album with slip of the tongue.

10:45

They went even more slick. Even?

10:47

The music wasn't here metal, but

10:49

the fact that in order to

10:51

show the music in the videos

10:53

He's fucking picked the band out

10:55

and made them all like hair

10:57

metal look and acted hair metalish

10:59

But I think I think slip

11:02

of the tongue is more of

11:04

a hair metal album than this

11:06

one Yeah, absolutely, you know, but

11:08

it's still yeah, it's hair metal.

11:10

Got the kittens got claws! That

11:12

is fucking horrendous Oh my god!

11:14

And then they cash me a

11:16

rip-off judgment day. Oh I like

11:18

that song. It is good, it's

11:20

good. That's better than cash me.

11:23

Next one we've we've we've mentioned

11:25

this one in the past, the

11:27

only good thing about this album

11:29

is the cover. And that's the...

11:31

Oh no! Ozzy. You like this

11:33

album! Absolutely. Okay, okay. All right,

11:35

go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

11:37

Go ahead for the bar. Oh,

11:39

stop. Ultimate Sin. Oh my God,

11:41

the video, Ozzy's Outfits. Like, fucking

11:43

the shout at the dark video

11:46

or Ozzy's like all glammed out

11:48

and he does one. spin move

11:50

and it took him 40 minutes

11:52

to turn around and do that

11:54

spin move. Jakey Lee's got the

11:56

pirate fucking uniform on. So this

11:58

is great. In the article here

12:00

it says, Ozzie's bleach blonde aqua

12:02

net teased Maine bedazzled capes in

12:04

more guiliner than normal. That was

12:07

definitely true. Yes. Yeah. I fucking

12:09

love shout at the dark is

12:11

one of his best songs man.

12:13

Oh yeah. And then he has

12:15

another great song when the lightning

12:17

strikes. You can't have a bad

12:19

song when it's something about lightning

12:21

strike and those songs are always

12:23

good. So you like when lightning

12:25

strikes by kiss off of Sonic

12:28

Boom? Absolutely. Tom Vader? It's the

12:30

best song on the album because

12:32

that album sucks. Arrowsmiths version? All

12:34

great. Dauken has a version lightning

12:36

strikes again. You're right. That's an

12:38

automatic hit when you put lightning

12:40

strikes in your song title. Yes.

12:42

All right, next one. I love

12:44

this. Permanent Vacation Aerosmith. Absolutely. A

12:46

couple good songs. Very here, metalish.

12:48

Dude looks like a lady. Is

12:51

it the, is this hair metal

12:53

rag doll that's on a hair

12:55

metal? Yeah, it is. Very, very

12:57

hair metal. Look at the band.

12:59

This fucking... Well, yeah, you look

13:01

at them, yes. Yes, yes. Yeah,

13:03

they went through a hair metal

13:05

stage. Okay, okay. Next one, uh,

13:07

oh, this is definitely, this is

13:09

hair metal. Rahn Neverson produced this

13:12

one, 1987, bad animals by heart.

13:14

I don't think it's hair metal.

13:16

I think they're still, kind of

13:18

like night ranger, like night ranger,

13:20

or a little, or a little,

13:22

or a little, or less. Yeah,

13:24

pop, they're not really hard rock.

13:26

Pop metal, pop, yeah, little pop

13:28

rocket, yeah, I know you mean.

13:30

Not metal. Yeah, no, but Ron

13:33

Everson who did some kiss stuff,

13:35

you know, it was a definitely,

13:37

first of all, commercial. Who will

13:39

you run to is one of

13:41

my favorite songs, if not my

13:43

favorite by them. And fucking alone,

13:45

that song itself should be on

13:47

every music. competition because that's vocal

13:49

on that is the most insane

13:51

some most beautiful song I mean

13:53

and this is also when the

13:56

Wilson sisters were smoking both yes

13:58

dude I gave you a thousand

14:00

dollars if you could pick up

14:02

and Wilson and body slam her

14:04

I didn't say I wanted to

14:06

pick her up in body sliver

14:08

I didn't say I wanted to

14:10

pick her up in body sliver

14:12

I didn't say I wanted to

14:14

pick her up in body sliver

14:17

I didn't say I wanted to

14:19

do that You would break your

14:21

fucking back. Exactly. That's the point.

14:23

Get on top. Her head look

14:25

good because they didn't show the

14:27

rest of her. Because she looks

14:29

like she was a big girl.

14:31

The big girl. You don't look

14:33

like she can't take out the

14:35

golden corral. You have fucking buffet.

14:37

She looks like she can eat

14:40

like a fucking ton of food.

14:42

I cannot believe they put this

14:44

album on the list. Pantera's Metal

14:46

Magic from 1983. People don't even

14:48

know that this album fucking exists.

14:50

How the fuck was Pantera around

14:52

in 83? Because they had a...

14:54

First of all, look at this

14:56

album covered. This looks like something

14:58

you draw on your notebook in

15:01

fucking math class. Yeah, it looked

15:03

like those muscle men figures. Yeah,

15:05

yeah. Yeah, the album's terrible. It's

15:07

definitely them not knowing what they

15:09

would do and it was very

15:11

glamy pop. That's not likable. Not,

15:13

it's not, it's not good. It's

15:15

definitely not good. 1987, we go

15:17

to Y&T Contagious. I mean, I

15:19

don't know this album that well.

15:22

I've heard a couple songs off

15:24

it. Y&T to me was always

15:26

kind of on the edge of

15:28

hair metal. We did mean streak

15:30

with... album review crew before that

15:32

kind of no we did it

15:34

we did black tiger that's how

15:36

fucking rememberable it is no no

15:38

that's how we I'm leaving that

15:40

it good leave it in I

15:42

remember all that is I don't

15:45

even know we did good all

15:47

their music sounds the same it's

15:49

to me they've always been a

15:51

hair metal adjacent so wow whatever

15:53

no they just been unsuccessful hair

15:55

metal is what it is what

15:57

it is No, no, no, they're

15:59

not bad. They just never, they

16:01

never could crack. I had this

16:03

album. You have, you have contagious

16:06

album in the, in the 80s.

16:08

Yeah, I bought it. It's pretty

16:10

good. There's nothing memorable on it,

16:12

but I thought it was pretty

16:14

decent at the time. Hair metal.

16:16

Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Well, that's the

16:18

list. Anything else that we, anything

16:20

else that should be on it

16:22

that we, that you can think

16:24

of off the top of your

16:27

head? No. No. No. No. No,

16:29

me neither. Me neither. No, me

16:31

neither. This is kind of a

16:33

tough list. I mean, if you're

16:35

digging in there for Pantera, that's

16:37

kind of, uh... I don't know.

16:39

I don't know, but I'd like

16:41

to see Kiss on the list.

16:43

That was cool. Yeah, absolutely. I

16:45

think it's a good idea, a

16:47

good list, and kudos to Loudwire

16:50

for putting it out there. It's

16:52

right. Next time. Peace out. Girl

16:54

Scout. Girl. I want to end

16:56

the show now. Jesus Christ, Tom,

16:58

Jesus Christ, let's end the show

17:00

now while we got the muscle.
