I hear that Metallica is the safest band to take through an airport because they haven’t set off a metal detector since 1989.
I would swear that the definition of “metal” has changed. There was a point in time Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were considered metal. Nowadays it seems that “metal” music is required to sound like your head is submerged in the oil sump of a diesel engine.
And you know what? I like metal heads, they tend to be cool folk who…appreciate their senses differently than I do somehow.
I agree. I remember when I discovered Ghost. They quickly became one of my favorites. I let my dad listen to it and he loved it too. He said it sounded like “old-school metal”. When I asked what he meant he said “this is what metal used to sound like. When death metal became popular around the 90’s everything got harder. And death metal became metal and old metal became hard rock.”

I got into death metal because I needed more Slayer. A lot of these bands pick start their songs where a Slayer song reaches its peak of intensity, and then they get more intense.
“Metal” is a very wide genre. There’s not a lot in common between e.g. Nightwish and Full of Hell. I personally wouldn’t put Bon Jovi and Deff Leppard in there, they’re more what is called “hard FM”, but like every genre the borders are fluid.
One that basically doesn’t have a definition. It has started to only mean the chuggadachuggadachuggada Nordic throat attack music…
It now only means Taranchula, it used to also include Limozeen.
Neither of those bands were ever considered metal. Hard rock. Yes. metal, no
Hmm.
Oh yes, Facebook. Solid source.
Well here’s Wikipedia. Beyond this I’m going to assert you find a source that says “Bon Jovi was never considered metal.”
Hair metal, but they were light lightest and off even hair metal.

Power metall like Sabaton for you perhaps.
I was a hip hoper (Mainly european stuff like Gunshot) and stumbles into Stratovarius in Roskilde 2001. Felt I was the only one with short hair and a hoodie. Listened to power metal ever since.
Heard Sabaton live in Oslo this December. Great live show.
I’m pretty sure bon Jovi & def Leppard were classified as hard rock. Even though they had some sweet ballads, it was mostly their metal-looking aesthetic that at a glance people might assume metal.

Hey come on now he’s one of the top 10 drummers in Metallica.
Came here to say essentially this lol Lars is a pretty mid drummer. It’s kinda hilarious that he gets to be in a band with Kirk Hammett.

Yesssss
Nice
I saw Slayer in 2011 at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I’d never listened to them but they put on a hell of a show. Melted my face, and they were tight. Then I went back to not listening to them.
I love slayer and I named your mom “the vacuum” cause she likes anal a lot.
I named your mom Slayer because she keeps raining blood.
I like slayer, but one time while listening to a slayer cd in his car a friend of mine said, “have you ever noticed how all slayer solos sound like they just threw a guitar off of a flight of stairs?” and ever since that’s all I think about when the solos starts lmao
They have very solid riffs, but guitar solos were never Kerry King’s strong point.
Never really heard them before, so I did a quick YouTube check, and decided they sound kind of like a metal version of free form jazz; lots of noise, but nothing you can really grab onto and enjoy.
nothing you can really grab onto and enjoy.
I thoroughly enjoy most of their albums. They’re amazing. So funky, fast, and ruthlessly aggressive.
That’s what I named your mom for the same reason.
Outperformed any vacuum on the market, she was a true vacuum slayer. Surprising and satisfying suction, wet or dry.
Slayer sucks because I fucked a vacuum and I will fuck Slayer.
Spoken like a true scholar.
I like Slayer and this is still hilarious.
Top tier sir
Mom, hell awaits!
I’m ok with this
If they got rid of their singer theyd be aiight. Delusions of Saviour is a pretty great track.
I’ve never been a big fan of the vocals either. Still like the music overall.
