Favorite 80's Heavy Metal Band

[palace101]

look into the rock history. I understand that you might WANT to believe the RUMORS but it is not the truth when the band was formed by Angus and his brother. They might have heard the rumors and went along with it like Ozzy or Alice Cooper. Alot of rumors were started by the christian comunities trying to keep children away from all the "BAD" music and it just kept going from there. It doesn't really matter they still rock!

[AmoebicDysentery]

I don't really believe that that's what AC/DC stands for..but that's way cooler than some sewing machine bullshit. Considering all the songtitles and shit they did with H-E double hockeysticks in the title, it fits. Christian communities are the best thing to happen to rock and roll ever.

Dio's logo also spells devil when upside down, dude!! bro!!! omfglol!!

[AmoebicDysentery]

ROFL!!! Jimmy Page sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads!!! LOL!! ASL?!? BRB!

Did he?

I think Master of Puppets is ove . I personally enjoy Ride the Lightning much better. Kill Em All is also good. And I really like ...And Justice For All. If only it didn't have that weird ass production it'd be amazing.

Yeah....like kinda 'forgetting' to put Jason's bass in the mix.

I wonder what that album would sound like now, if it were re-recorded properly? I mean, if Dimmu can do it with Stormblast and Nevermore can do it with Enemies Of Reality.....

Enemies of Reality was re-mixed, not re-recorded I thought.
I think if Metallica tried to re-record it, it would sound horrible.

i'm with you dan. so what if it sounds a little different. it actually gives the album identity. you never hear .....and justice for all and NOT know what it is.

i should of added motorhead, but if you read my bulletin you would of noticed that i purposely didnt add the more Aggressive bands, and left it to basically Traditional Heavy Metal. No Thrash, No Death Metal. READ READ READ!!!!

not to be too picky, but metallica is quite certianly THRASH! and pretty aggressive during the 80's. i know what your saying though.......just can't let metallica not be considered thrash.

[TheKshatriya]

They influenced alot of people Matt. I don't think they influenced Corpsegrind Rottenspleen but they did influence a great deal of heavy artists.

So, its a thread about favorite traditional metal bands

[Mike]

Did he?

No but Robert Johnson did.

hence why ac/dc wasnt on the list, they are rock n roll not heavy metal. just like van halen, etc.

but my point is that "aggressive" changes over time. Back in the 70s and early 80s bands like AC/DC and Van Halen were considered aggressive and rebelious. They were labeled as "Heavy Metal" - I can testify to this since I was there. There was no Metallica, no Anal Cunt or Amoebic Dysentery there was The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Billy Joel & The J Geils Band. I don't care what AC/DC really means but the point was that a lot of people jumped on them about it - they were "out there" or "aggressive". btw, if no satanic influence then what's with the horns on the head in the pic I previously posted? maybe influenced by the goats at the petting zoo? they may not have started that way but they eventually took advantage of the publicity around it. My point was to prove that they were considered "extreme" by the mainstream at the time since they drew that kind of reaction.

Metal is one of those self deprecating genres. It's built on being aggressive and underground. So each new band is more aggressive then the previous - eventually the older become mainstream. Similarly with the underground aspect - metal bands are cool until they become widely popular. One day you'll hear today's extreme br00t4l metal bands in mainstream culture - and some punk ass little metal kid will be calling it pussy rock music.

yes I agree. Their 80s stuff is definitely thrash!

[Matt]

ok ok, i see your point, but i wasnt planning on mixing bands like coroner and sepultura up in there, when people talk about metallica its pretty much traditional heavy metal. definitely more agressive then Iron maiden, but im glad to see Maiden is still dominating!!!!!!!

[Matt]

and on top of that id say the only metallica album that was pure thrash was kill em all anyways, all the others had WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much slow shit to be considered thrash when compared to all the other thrash bands at the time. (in example - slayer, dark angel, coroner, sepultura (they were a little death metalish, but still thrashy)

Nothing new to add, I just wanted you to know I got this joke and thought it was funny.
