I love this!!! ### 5/5 — I love the station, they play all the bands I like and the best songs *2024-03-23, version 1.3* The best metal station I've ever heard ### 5/5 — Great Hair Metal *2023-07-14, version 1.3* I love that they play all the mainstream classics, but also include more obscure bands that were overlooked back in the day. I’ve found all kinds of (new to me) artists here that I never would have otherwise. Keep up the good work and may metal live forever! ### 5/5 — Hair Metal Radio. *2023-05-09, version 1.3* Every single song brings me back to a special moment or a special girl! Simply the best! ### 5/5 — The best 80’s metal on the net *2023-04-24, version 1.3* Great station…Been listening since It was launched on live 365 and never left..All my favorite hard rock and hair metal on one station..Thank you Rich for keeping it going all these years.. Louis ### 5/5 — Rawwwwkkk! \m/ *2023-04-08, version 1.3* 24/7 metal. It rools dood! ### 5/5 — HairMetal Awesomeness *2023-03-09, version 1.3* This is the best out of all the other HairMetal radio stations. The variety and song selections are awesome. They play the hits and choose the great songs off various albums. You will find bands you had forgotten about and also be introduced to bands you never gave the time to, back in the day. Jillious has done an amazing job with her crew. Keep up the amazing work. ### 5/5 — great music *2023-02-28, version 1.1* audio quality on some songs (especially a lot of live tracks) is a let down, phone interactivity has changed since last update, ### 5/5 — The BEST *2023-02-11, version 1.1* Hands down- the BEST app if you need your 80s Metal fix!!! ### 5/5 — Hair nation who *2022-06-27, version 1.1* This app rules… this reminds me of how xm radio was in its hay day… metal shop has that old boneyard feel to it…. Now. Hair bands… love that it goes deep… hair nation over at SiriusXM is stuck on hits only mode except for Eddie trunk… I’ll be listening less hair nation and rocking out to this app…. ### 5/5 — Well-programmed Hair Band station *2022-06-17, version 1.1* This is really the best Hair Band formatted station I’ve heard. There’s enough of a playlist to keep from burning songs, yet a tight enough rotation of hits to keep it familiar. Great balance! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is dead off line *2026-06-12* No longer works find a new app ### 2/5 — Update *2023-04-10, version 1.3* It keeps cutting off……. Great music, but it needs to be fixed ### 3/5 — Fragmented stream *2025-03-10, version 1.3* I’d have given it five stars but took away two because of the stream quality. The music is great, but the app tends to pause mid song for a couple of seconds regardless if I’m on the cell network or wifi. It behaves like when you have weak reception when watching an over the air digital tv channel. ### 5/5 — The best radio station for the format *2026-08-28, version 1.4* These folks know how to program hairband glam rock! What an amazingly good station!!! ### 5/5 — 1 radio station on the planet *2026-08-09, version 1.4* The best radio rock station on the planet no other radio station comes close to metal shop I would die without this metal radio app ### 5/5 — The best of the best *2026-07-11, version 1.3* It broke my heart when this close down. I needed this for when I’m working, helped me get through the day. Please come back ### 5/5 — METAL SHOP ROCKS! *2026-03-31, version 1.3* Best interest radio out there, I'll guarantee it. ### 5/5 — Crank it up *2026-01-01, version 1.3* Love it could not of done it any better myself I am 58 been into this music since a teenager ### 5/5 — Top metal radio app period *2025-05-28, version 1.3* The best in App Store the best metal radio app that exists ### 5/5 — Hair Band *2024-11-02, version 1.3* The best! Everyday listening ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fab Selections *2024-10-01, version 1.3* Great selection of metal song! ### 5/5 — Radio station *2024-09-26, version 1.3* I am a child of the 80s and what I listen is on this channel ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! 🎸Rock On🤟!!!! *2024-06-23, version 1.3* Great Music, Commercial Free, Love It!!!!!! Best Decades of Rock’n’Roll 80’s and some 90’s provided commercial free what’s not to love!!!!!! Came across the Twitter page it was suggested to me and just downloaded the app!!! Love 80’s Rock after watching the Five Night’s At Freddy’s Movie (FNAF) movie sent me down an 80s rock rabbit hole!!! The song used in it Talking In Your Sleep healed me out of a deep state of grief and depression! Then I went down 80s rock rabbit hole so to speak! Love All 80s rock but Talking In Your Sleep is my favorite! So happy to find a commercial free platform! PS love the inclusion of House of Lords!!! A friend of mine is the frontman of the band!
