I do see it as the pivotal point of no return for metal and the directions it was heading into. I just recall so much of it going pop, yet the underground was as strong as it ever enjoyed during the original metal run. I think that's what was so endearing to me; my tapes and albums just went out the roof because there was so much good stuff beneath the fluff. Mark and I can testify to buying the crap out of everything in sight.<BR/><BR/>Plus 1987 was my weekly addiction to the original Headbangers Ball. Never missed it, even if I had to come home and go back out. It was religion.Ray Van Horn, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13614522170335864253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1169834930624670542007-01-26T10:08:00.000-08:002007-01-26T10:08:00.000-08:00It's nice to hear a sum up of the past metal scene...It's nice to hear a sum up of the past metal scene.

Their last album didn't sell well. So they hire Joey so they can headline a few shows and get quick cash. Joey self-released an album back in 2003 and it was pretty good. Unless John Bush is just completely wanting to be with his family then I think he may come back. Jeff Duncan and Joey Vera are doing projects which means there are no upcoming Armored Saint plans. Scott Ian has just been trying to cash in wherever he can. I like Anthrax, but Scott and Charlie have never taken blame for anything. Anytime they hit a slump they blame someone else.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1169772945977061042007-01-25T16:55:00.000-08:002007-01-25T16:55:00.000-08:00Speaking of Anthrax, they just booted Joey out aga...Speaking of Anthrax, they just booted Joey out again.

I am not sure if it was used in the 1970's, but it was used in the 80's when talking about those bands. Yet it was also used in magazines in the mid to late 80's for Twisted Sister, Poison, Motley Crue and others. Remember the term hair band was not used until the very late 90's when many of these bands started doing reunion tours.<BR/>Personally I hate the term hair band and if forced to choose, I would use terms like 70's glam and 80's glam to describe these bands. That's just me though.<BR/><BR/>jose-I don't like the hair label either.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1169722052893142522007-01-25T02:47:00.000-08:002007-01-25T02:47:00.000-08:00ah, i'm curious about the rest of this list! it su...ah, i'm curious about the rest of this list! it sure starts off well...<BR/><BR/><BR/>re:captain corky - i can see what she's going for. i don't know if i'd separate those two sets of bands with the same semantics, but there is a difference in my head at least, both in attitude and in the music itself.<BR/><BR/>and, personally, using that terminology, i like glam and i don't like hair. :PJosé Carlos Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812943852379509545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1169719333902729982007-01-25T02:02:00.000-08:002007-01-25T02:02:00.000-08:00My wife is taking a music class at school, and she...My wife is taking a music class at school, and she says that there is a difference between glam bands and hair bands. Is this true Mark? The book she is reading says that bands like Kiss, Alice Cooper and Queen are Glam bands.
