Rock Bands of the 80's

new genres also emergeed in the 1980's. genres such as arena rock, glam rock, alternative rock, and glam metal. glam metal shocked people with bands' new visual looks. they would wear make up weird outfits and funny hair. lyrics on their songs would include sex drugs and their masculinity. new genreuch as the agressive "thrash metal" attracted many underground fans and influenced bands as well. in my opiniopn the greatest influencial bands would be bands like Metallica and Slayer who started the whole speed metal music. these two bands had guitarists who created and performed the best guitar solos. i actually think the 80's is the era with the best guitar solos because it became revolutionary.
