Really now, if you ask me the glam metal scene as a whole has never really been a breeding pool for exorbitantly brilliant music. Ok, I suppose there were a couple bands that are still pleasant to listen to, but they were definitely a minority. I can also understand people listening to those bands for nostalgia's sake. What I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to a new band - playing exactly the same old music - that would have been sub-par many years ago.
Perhaps one could make a case for Pussy Sister being awesome party music. You know the kind of party where lots of underage boys "rock out" to "old school music", drink about four times the amount they can hold and then proceed to spread out their drinks over the floor again, then a fat, desperate chick or two comes along and tries making out with the first of the aforementioned boys that isn't too drunk to push her away, as soon as he wiped the former contents of his stomach off his face. Yeah we've all been at those parties and we know it wasn't pretty, but hey, there are people who're still into that sort of stuff. If you're one of them I won't judge you for it, I will however recommend Pussy Sister to you.
To be fair, the band at least doesn't play sloppy. A few of their compositions even get close to being catchy. So if you're really desperate for a band that tries to play it like the original glam and sleaze rock band did, Pussy Sister actually isn't a bad bet for your next concert. Everyone else shouldn't really have any reason to listen to these guys, you can just as well listen to your old Mötley Crüe and Twisted Sister records (or even Poison for all I care).

I agree that the good glam bands are a minority in the scene(most of them are a pile of cheesy shit) but theres actually some really good new Sleaze metal bands out there. Crashdiet, Vains of Jenna, Panzer Princess, thats about all i can vouch for, but these bands dont sound exactly like the older bands, they all have a unique sound.

This is one of the most accurate reviews I have ever read. The second paragraph is awesome.

Written by [user id=5630] on 06.09.2010 at 19:25 Indeed. Anyway, glam always sucked and will always suck. It's retarded music made by retarded people with a retarded attitude. Glam always made me sick even more than pop music. Fucking garbage I always looked at with utter contempt.

@hidden, totally agreed with. I have always utterly and totally despised glam. Both the music and what it stood for. There is not single good glam band around. Yes, also Motley Crue sucked donkey balls all of the time. Why do you think they cancelled loads of tours on mainland Europe? Yep they thought they could play 10000 seaters when in fact they couldn't even sell out a 400 capacity club on mainland Europe. Where the hell is Paul Baloff with his "kill any poser you see near you" attitude. Yes the word POSER was originally used to refer to glam metal poodles.

Written by Daggon on 07.09.2010 at 04:26 I actually began to appriacte Twisted Sister much later. And although they looked glam their music sure as hell wasn't. Glam wasn't only the looks. It was also the lifestyle and music.

Dee Snider is too intelligent for glam. Always thought of TS as hard rock/heavy metal anyway...

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 07.09.2010 at 05:25 It's strange, I considered myself an avid glam fan, but most of my favourite bands that I thought fit into that genre aren't really considered glam. Bands like Lizzy Borden, WASP, Twisted Sister, etc. With new glam like this it's almost being separated just as much, you get bands like this, then there are bands like Hardcore Superstar, who touch on that whole lifestyle quite a bit, but don't exactly celebrate it, it's almost discussed in their lyrical content in almost a remorseful manner. I have no idea where I'm going with this.

Written by Doc G. on 07.09.2010 at 09:11 I consider those bands as heavy rock or hard rock, not glam rock like Motley Crue or Poison. By the way, I use the term glam ROCK, not glam METAL for the obvious reason that glam metal doesn't exist. Glam is not metal but mainstream commercial bullshit.

Written by vezzy on 06.09.2010 at 19:32 Unfortunately they aren't. Written by AngelofDeth on 06.09.2010 at 19:38 Yeah I don't think it's all bad either, last year I reviewed a pretty good album by a new sleaze band, they didn't sound like the older bands either though. We might have found a pattern here Written by Fat & Sassy! on 06.09.2010 at 20:08 Thanks, it's nice to know people got the drift of my picturesque description^^

Written by Doc G. on 07.09.2010 at 09:11 Ive never really been a glam fan, aside from a very brief time before I got into metal. And even then, it was only 2 or 3 bands, rather than the whole genre itself. The only bands today which I am a fan of that some connected with the glam scene are W.A.S.P. and Guns N' Roses. To me, GNR were never really glam, and I never understood why some lumped them into that scene. Their music had an aggression and attitude that never really fitted with glam. Same kinda thing with W.A.S.P., although their image was quite glammish, and some of their lyrical content certainly fitted the glam stereotype. And Inside The Electric Circus is for the most part, glam. (Its probably not a coincidence that this album is the one by W.A.S.P. I like the least) But W.A.S.P.'s music always had an edge to it, and a meanness that was abscent in most other glam bands. As for this album, going by the band name, and the review, I think I'll give it a miss. Not my thing at all.

GnR never were glam. Maybe at times their image was only a bit glam-esque (I think hair is more accurate here), but nothing to do with it whatsoever.

Written by vezzy on 07.09.2010 at 21:58 Well, if you saw old pictures of the band and listened to the old stuff, then yes, it was glam. But by old stuff I mean REALLY old stuff, the stuff that was only recently released as "Hollywood Rose - The Roots Of Guns N Roses", which was the most primitive line up of the band and I suppose shouldn't even be considered GnR. But this is getting off topic, if you want to continue this discussion feel free to quote me over to the GnR thread.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 07.09.2010 at 14:38 It's fixed now. On a sidenote, I ued the term 'glam rock' in my previous posts but I normally never use it. I call this shitty genre cock rock.

Glam/hair is the one and only original true poser metal.

Written by Doc G. on 07.09.2010 at 09:11 aside from imagery, i cannot think of any reason to consider Lizzy Borden or WASP glam. i thought they were glam too until i listened to them. as for this record, sounds fun, i might download it sometime, if only to get a good laugh haha.
