Mikezilla:
I have never heard anyone, ever, use the term buttrock. And Im into metal, and my uncle is in a semi decent, well known band (in San Diego haha)

Bootay:
Mike, I am into Metal too...but not "Buttrock". I prefer heavier stuff like Slayer. I don't even consider "buttrock" (aka Poison, Warrent, etc.) Metal even though a lot of people do.

Wow this thread is just all over the place. LOL

Vigo:
I have never heard the term "buttrock" before either, mostly stuff like glam metal, hair metal and power rock. Is "buttrock" only suppose to refer to the ---smurfy--- lame over the top stuff, or is that suppose to cover the whole era? Even slayer had 80's rocker hair and studded leather vests back in the day. Would GnR and 80's Aerosmith be "buttrock" as well? How about glam rock like early Bowie or Queen?

Bootay:
No...buttrock would be simply glam metal. As in...dudes that dress like chicks on stage. Poison, Warret, etc. GnR is close..but I consifer them riding the lines of buttrock. It is also often the power ballad hair metal bands like Whitesnake that didn't dress like chicks but sang sappy love ballads. Slayer is not buttrock in any way, leather and spikes doesn't fall into the buttrock category, and they really only did the leather and spikes on the first album anyway. I would say 70s Aerosmith is not, but 80s Aerosmoith was. Queen and Bowie  I would say are not buttrock. I don't write the rules, but to me buttrock is just simply Glam Metal and Power Ballad bands from the 80s. Whitesnake, Warrent, Poison, White Lion, Skid Row, Europe, Cinderella, Ratt, Motley Crue.

Vigo:
Haha, great explanation! Somehow the inner core of my being couldn't swallow being a fan of anything called "buttrock". I am glad that by your definition I wouldn't be. Yeah, I like Aerosmith and GnR in general, but I don't rock out to White Lion or Warrant  or anything like that.
