Scorps: German hard prog until Uli left, then straight-arrow party metal Mercyful Fate: made two of the best metal albums ever WASP: funny, couple OK songs, mostly stupid (dumb enough to have Metallica open for them in 84) King Diamond: first LP was pretty good, then went kooky with the Broadway dramatics Venom: not very good, for some reasons metalically-clueless indie/punkers zoned in on these guys (Sonic Youth , Beasties, etc), true headbangers were puzzled, Slayer were 1000x better '80s hair metal: mainly started by Motley Crue's Theatre of Pain record, roots in Kiss and Aerosmith, driven by poon, money, and drugs, 100% false metal

I'm finally going to get to use an illustration of Blackie for an upcoming local 80's metal tribute show! The illustration was originally meant for the WASP tour that fizzled and got dumped by the promoters due to Blackie's rockstar attitude.

MTV punk? or real punk?

2002-09-23 21:34:33

MaximumFluoride :

I'm passing the metal knowledge down to my middle child. He has the heart of a true metal warrior. He's getting really into punk now as well so I guess I'll have to pass what I know about that to him as well. Long live the Metal!

2002-09-23 21:32:34

Jeph :

You mean "Blackie Lawless"....Sorry I shouldn't know that but I do.

2002-09-23 21:31:05

Amen Maximum

Te 2nd guy from the left works at HOT TOPIC down at Katy Mills Mall

2002-09-23 21:30:09

MaximumFluoride :

I lost interset in the Scorps when Uli John Roth left. No more songs about magic Unicorns and shit. AC/DC died with Bon Scott.

2002-09-23 21:29:16

kozik :

yep. these guys where awesome. theyd fuckin do ANYTHING to get high. Big old mullets and shit. bad skin. heh

2002-09-23 21:27:00

Jeph :

Blackout was a great record though. Some bands always seem to have that "one" record where they get big and then all of a sudden the turn to shit...and really fucking bothers me. Like AC/DC with "For those about to Rock" and " Aerosmith" with "Night in the Ruts" It's just fucking baffling.

2002-09-23 21:25:03

MaximumFluoride :

The Mexican Death Metal Mafia is NO JOKE! Those guys are serious.

2002-09-23 21:24:52

kozik :

I usedto work in this warehouse with all the Mexican Metalheads who fucking WORSHIPPED King Diamond. I'd fuck with them all day saying KD is Gay Ozzy fucking rules his ass. They get so pissed "FUK JU MANG! KEENG DIAMONDS DOWN WID DA DEVIL AND SHIT! it was rad.

2002-09-23 21:23:26

Jeph :

Couldn't stand the constant 7 octave screaming myself.

2002-09-23 21:22:47

MaximumFluoride :

Mercyful Ftae was killer. I never got into King Diamond so much. A little too "conceptish" for me.

2002-09-23 21:20:53

Jeff Kleinsmith :

Scorpions is kind of a sad story. They've been around since the early seventies. Put out great records like Lonesome Crow, Virgin Killers, etc. And then Blackout "broke" big and it was all fuckin' power ballads after that (like Jeph said). So much great stuff from that circle of bands UFO, MSG, Rainbow. Incestuous. I wouldn't have ever lumped them in the glam camp though. Fear: all glam.

2002-09-23 21:20:18

MaximumFluoride :

No see Frank the first record in 84 War and Pain is the best VoiVod. Well maybe RRROOOAAARRR! was good also. Thats was 86. Killing Technology came out in 87. Master Piece!

2002-09-23 21:19:34

Jeph :

Didn't King Diamond get sued by Gene Simmons for stealing his "concept" for his face paint. What a fucking howl.

2002-09-23 21:18:55

2002-09-23 21:18:06

Jeph :

Yeah I'm all set with the Death metal

2002-09-23 21:17:26

Jeph :

Yeah I'm all set with the Death metal

2002-09-23 21:17:22

kozik :

True Metal RARELY gets any airplay. King Diamond. Mercyful Fate

2002-09-23 21:16:45

Jermaine :

Id rather not learn of bands with names like 'INVICTUS"...or 'NECRODEMONIC FATE'.... Introduce those guys to fonts, Mike... ;)

2002-09-23 21:15:43

kozik :

Voivod 1986.

2002-09-23 21:14:06

MaximumFluoride :

Your all fools. You know nothing of the metal arts. One day I'll school you all on the real TRUTH. Except Frank of course. I imagine he knows everything about everything.

2002-09-23 21:13:19

Jeph :

The most "underground" band I ever heard back then was like Venom. Sorry, I was a child of MTV. My musicak horizons didn't broaden until I got a bit older...And to answer your question the Scorpions were one of the few bands to have a career in both camps. Their early stuff up to about "Blackout" was testosterone driven and after their first "Power Ballad" is was time for the lipstick.

2002-09-23 21:13:09

Jermaine :

And with FEAR, you couldve 'had another beer'...

2002-09-23 21:09:18

kozik :

or FEAR.

2002-09-23 21:06:43

Jermaine :

Now, where did the Scorpions fall in that battle of the glam?

2002-09-23 21:06:29

Jermaine :

or MINOR THREAT. There WAS another way....

2002-09-23 21:06:04

Jeph :

I'm not talking about the hair metal. Listen there were 2 metal camps in the 80's. The "Let's look like chicks and sing pussy tunes" i.e. Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue. And then there were the"Let's wear leather and spiked wristbands and sing about Dungeons & Dragons shit" i.e. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rainbow Of course looking back now it was all "a bit feminine" back back in the day it was kewl. Listen it was either that or The Fucking Thompson Twins.

2002-09-23 21:05:20

Jermaine :

I mean, BE A MAN! Strip off that shirt, throw on some jeans and shoes and gimme some TRUTH!

2002-09-23 20:57:46

kozik :

It's queer.

2002-09-23 20:55:46

Jermaine :

Like, whats cool about trying to look like a woman? Pursing your lips for the camera and wearing heels? Like, when Bowie or the Dolls did it, it was shock, and therefore it had a 'point'. But after that...uggghhh

2002-09-23 20:54:12

kozik :

thats hit is totally gay.

2002-09-23 20:51:27

Jermaine :

All that hair metal sucks...youre ALL crazy...and Taylor, youve breathed too many ink fumes. You callin me tonite, or what??? slacker

2002-09-23 20:50:29

Jeph :

I love that cheesy "way too masculine" 80's metal.

2002-09-23 20:32:00

BLT :

London Leatherboys baby!!!! It was Dircshnider or something like that.

2002-09-23 20:27:29

Jeph :

Yeah what was the singers' name? Udo Dicksniffer or something like that. And who can forget the gay overtones of "Balls to the Wall"

2002-09-23 20:25:36

BLT :

Accept fucking rules. I cant believe how gay they were though.

2002-09-23 20:21:45

Jeph :

I saw Maiden a couple of times...way back. I think the first time Accept opened for them..(German Metal rules) and the 2nd time it was Twisted Sister....good times

2002-09-23 20:19:53

rockologist :

yeah. krokus=ass.

2002-09-23 19:56:29

BLT :

I stuck around for a couple of songs, they totally sucked, everyone left.

2002-09-23 19:48:35

rockologist :

YOU DIDN'T STICK AROUND TO SEE KROKUS?

2002-09-23 19:41:23

stinkbait :

Saw 'em open for Iron Maiden. They were still throwing meat into the crowd...

2002-09-23 19:35:01

BLT :

I saw W.A.S.P. on their first tour when they were still throwing meat into the crowd, RULED. Opened for Krokus, I left.

2002-09-23 19:21:06

rockologist :

how come you can't see blackie's codpiece?

2002-09-23 19:15:42

rockologist :

"i wanna be somebody, be somebody soon" dood. W.A.S.P. should sue helen killer for misappropriating them. :-D

2002-07-15 08:32:42

seripop :
