The Metal Education Thread (punk, rock, quote, band)

[half_baked87]

i just thought of something, what about hair metal? ie. motley crue, skidrow, ratt, early pantera etc.

[sleepy jack]

I had write something on hair metal but ian took it out, he probaly has his reasons to this.

[half_baked87]

well, seeing as hair metal is the worst subgenre ever....

[sleepy jack]

That and hair metal kind of..well it isn't that metal and to be honest i think its more hard rock, like motley cure and twisted sister and such really don't have a metal sound to them as to other metal genres goin' on in the 80s that did.

[half_baked87]

true true, i beleive arena rock is the term.

[sleepy jack]

Yes, that term is more accurate to describe it.
So basically im pretty sure its not on there because its not really metal.

It's not metal. It's a disgrace.

and Perfection, I included As I Lay Dying not out of personal prefrence (I'm not a huge fan), but rather because I think they better typify the "metalcore" sound. Unearth is much more technical and well, metal, than AILD.

good band though.

To Misifts:Touche'

I felt that an explination was neccessary. There are alot of nu-metal fans out there and defining the style was needed. needed to keep people from getting into nu-metal.

to Perfection: word.
