Glam Metal bands consisted of (first wave) Quiet Riot, RATT, Crue etc. who were heavier. It was towards the mid 80's that poppier Glam like Poison & Danger Danger took hold.
Guns N' Roses (AFD era) were pure Sleaze; a grittier, rawer style which evolved from Glam. Think AC/DC and Rolling Stone with some Hanoi Rocks thrown in there. Various Sleaze bands appeared then: Vain, Faster Pussycat, Circus of Power.
Def Leppard and Van Halen (DLR era) however are not Glam. They were Hard Rock with slick production though they did not adhere to the image or aesthetic unlike certain bands like Night Ranger.
