What exactly is "Sleaze Metal"?
Its a term i've heard to describe mainly 80s bands like Crue or GNR, but what exactly makes a band sleaze metal? Is it just the lyrics or does it have to do with the vocals and riffs as well?

I would say the lyrics. The first song that popped in my head was Ten Seconds to Love.

It's sometimes the lyrics but I always thought it was more about the look. Spandex, teased hair, makeup... Poison, WASP, Faster Pussycat... Stryper...

Sleaze metal is more street metal... I think Glam and sleaze are 2 different genres although very close..bands can be one or the other or both..Examples of bands that are straight up Glam would be Hanoi Rocks, Sweet, and pretty Boy Floyd..Bands that are more sleaze would be Guns And Roses, Love/Hate, Crashdiet... Bands that would be both would be Motley Crue, Black N Blue, L.A. Guns...
Examples of Glam...
Examples of Sleaze...
Examples of Bands that are both Glam and sleaze...

Thank you Savage for unblurring the lines between glam and sleeze.

Heres another one from my youth that I really liked. I don't really like listening to them these days because of the lyrics, but they were good back in the day.
