Top Hair Metal TV Performances
There were so many great ones from the late 80’s and early 90’s. MTV awards shows, New Years Eve, Late night ones with Arsenio, Rick Dee’s, Letterman etc.
Do you remember L.A. Guns and Slaughter being Arsenio?
I personally think Arsenio was the gold standard for late night performances.
How about Motley Crue on Monday Night Raw?
What are some of your favs?

Skid Row on SNL 1991. Don't know why this is audio only. Too bad because visually they were like a street gang in full battle. Killing everyone in sight...

1. Enuff Z’Nuff on Letterman. Derek Frigo steals the show.
https://youtu.be/P2E8XDx6css?si=4RkeYwVEO1Msl7qA
2. Britny Fox on Mtv’s Mouth to Mouth. Kind of a cop out because it’s Mtv but it still counts.
https://youtu.be/_1J_TJx_rhY?si=3QesQ4uwOxJ3DCXI
But as already mentioned, the Skid Row SNL performance is my favorite.

Arsenio had a rule that no one could lip synch on his show, even pop artists.

Re: Top Hair Metal TV Performances
For whatever reason, the Mötley performance on Raw and Sunday Night Heat has to be one of their best performances ever. Vince even sang most of the words to Wild Side which he didn't really do with songs unless it happened on the tour for the album the song was from.

A lot of rock/RnB acts that got passed over by the networks got some run on his show.metalmike76 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 12:29 pmArsenio had all the best IMO.

I just listened to your podcast, that was a well done episode. Good job, very comprehensive. For the sake of completeness, here’s Femme Fatale doing ‘Waiting for the Big One’ on Mtv’s Mouth to Mouth.

I saw Damn Yankees play "Coming of Age" on MTV Unplugged before I ever heard the full album version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7qOIKvj2x4
This was back when Unplugged was "just a show" and wasn't a big special. A couple bands would show up each week, play two songs and leave.
Ratt's "Born on a Bayou" was surprisingly good:
