Kako svaki glazbeni pravac ima svoje podpravce tako i u hair metalu nailazimo na podjelu. Hair metal tako dijelimo na:
a) Rani (early) hair metal - Radi se o samom pocetku hair metala na Sunset Boulevardu u L.A.-u, najvazniji bandovi svakako su Van Halen i Motley Crue
Van halen
b) Srednje razdoblje hair metala - Svoj vrhunac, hair metal je dozivio upravo u svom srednjem razdoblju. Bilo je to pravo zlatno doba hair metala kad su se pojavili i najpoznatiji hair metal bandovi poput Gunsa, Poisona, Faster Pussycata i L.A. Gunsa.
Faster Pussycat
c) Kasni hair metal (iliti sve sto je lijepo kratko traje) - Svim genijalcima sudjeno je da umru mladi, sto se desilo i hair metalu. Prestale su osamdesete, zavrsilo je vrijeme zabave, a zapocele su depresivne devedesete. Na sceni su mogli uspjeti samo bandovi cija je glazba koketirala s grungeom. Zadnji bandovi koji su se istaknuli bili su Skid Row, Tyketto i Warrant.
Tyketto
No u kasni hair metal spada i jos jedna grupa, a to je grupa Vain. Vain je imao kvalitetnu i dinamicnu glazbu, odlicnog frontmena iznimnih glasovnih sposobnosti i tipicne hair metal tekstove kao i image. No uz sve to nikad nisu dobili paznju koju zasluzuju.
Vain je osnovan u San Franciscu 1985. u ovoj postavi:
Davy Vain - vokal
Jamie "Rose" Scott - gitara
Danny West - gitara
Ashley Mitchell - bas gitara
Tom Richard - bubnjevi
Svoj prvi album izdali su 1989., a prije toga su uglavnom svirali kao predgrupa raznim bandovima ukljucujuci i Gunse i Poison. Prvi album, No Respect bio je pravo umjetnicko djelo. Svi cijenjeni glazbeni casopisi davali su mu najvise ocjene. Sve pjesme imale su potencijala da budu veliki hitovi, ali samo su dvije na kraju dobile tu cast. Bile su to "Beat The Bullet" i "Who´s Watching You" sa svojim super spotovima. Nakon toga grupa je dobila priliku da bude predgrupa Skid Rowu na turneji u Engleskoj, a i sami su otisli na kratku turneju u Japan. Zasljepljeni uspjehom, krenuli su na izradu novog albuma "All Those Strangers". No nekoliko dana prije izlaska albuma, dogodilo se nesto neocekivano. Izdavacka kuca odbila ja daljnju suradnju s njima i napustila ih. "All Those Strangers" nikad nije izasao, a i tenzije izmedju clanova banda postajale su sve jace sto je dovelo i do raspada. Svaki od clanova otisao je na svoju stranu okupljajuci nove bandove. Kasnije je bilo pokusaja da se Vain ponovo sastavi, pa su cak izdali i neke albume, ali nijedan od njih nije ni priblizno dostigao kvalitetu "No Respecta".
Za sve fanove metala, posebno hair metala osamdesetih.

Lyrics
Dokken-In My Dreams
Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams
Motley Crue-Girls, Girls, Girls
Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are
Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls
Red lips, fingertips
Trick or treat-sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't beat
But they're the best when they're off their feet
Girls, Girls, Girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls. Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart
I'm such a good good boy
I just need e new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean
Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those
Girls, Girls. Girls
Body Shop. Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart
Girls, Girls, Girls
Def Leppard-Bringin`On The Heartbreak
Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see?
Just try and say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
No no no
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
