To answer your question, I've never heard #s 2 and 3.
#s 2 and 3 are Def Leppard songs.

Ok - a hair band is a band that is more style than substance; more makeup than manliness; more about the money than the music. Examples: Def Leppard, Poison, Night Ranger, etc. Hair bands are like a subset of metal bands - "glam metal" as it were.

A metal band is more about being loud and fast. Their "music" is centered around drums and lots of loud fast guitars. But metal (called heavy metal in my day) has been around a lot longer. Alice Cooper, KISS, Ozzy, etc. are considered heavy metal. Metalicca would be considered a metal band.
