Petrucci is the reason people like Dream Theatre. It snice to see him step away from that band. I can't stand to listen to them myself. The lead singer is awful.


I listen to them purely for Petrucci and Myung. Great drummer and the keyboards rock, but yeah... There singer is in dire need of a stiff arm to the neck.



Ok, that's it... Metallica needs to just give up and retire. I've heard high school garage bands play the song better. Seriously, Hetfield just stands there with his wide leg "look at how much I wish I rocked still" pose. And what the hell was up with Lars and Kirk, did they show up doped to the gills on smack or have the finally just decided to say "meh, hell with it" and just wing their performance? Listen close to that and you can hear Lars loose the beat a couple of few times and Kirk kept botching his solos. I really pains me to see a brilliant bassist like Trujillo playing that far below his abilities too.

From a Time When Metal Ruled the World....

Image

Def Leppard - Rocket

Skid Row - youth gone wild

Slaughter - Up All Night

I have so many great memories of Van Hagar. I absolutely loved these guys, and I got to see them on the Balance tour.
Van Halen - 5150

Poison - Fallen Angel

Whats great heavy metal without sychronized guitar playing while wearing matching white tassled leather outfits?
Warrant - Heaven

These guys were a cut above everyone else at the time. I think these guys paved the way for the sound of Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden.
The Cult - Sweet Soul Sister

I remember this song being so so huge when it hit. i think everyone I knew at the time had a copy of it.
Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

AC/DC - Money Talks live at Donnigton

Judas Priest - A Touch Of Evil

Ozzy was great teamed up with Lita Ford.
Lita Ford And Ozzy Osbourne - Close My Eyes Forever

Kind of hard to pick which of these guys videos to show, not that I like the videos that much, but the songs are great.
Queensrÿche I don't believe in Love

Guns N Roses Paradise City

The Godfather of Metal
Ozzy Osbourne - I Just Want You

Gaz, you do realize that only two of the bands/songs you mentioned actually qualify as "Metal" and the rest are are shades of "rock" and "hard rock", right? Also, Beavis and Butthead diss'd the hell out of Def Leppard, Skid Row, Slaughter, only like Warrent because of the "Cherry pie" video (and not the song, just the hottie in the vid), though The Cult was gay (they rock, but they are not metal, dude), and hated Bon Jovi. Lita Ford and Ozzie's "Close My Eyes Forever" is quite possibly the single lamest love ballad of the 1980s (Seriously, that song sucked), and Ozzy himself is another case of "I liked him better when he was strung out on smack".

Queensryche rocks though. However, that song isn't even close to being an example of their best.

Judas priest just plain WTFPWNS though. Breakin' the law, breakin' the law....

Well we can bicker and argue over whats metal till the cows come home. And yes Im well aware of how poison and Warrant are lesser bands, but they were in fact fun and they had their moments, even if they will never ever be taken as seriously as Judas Priest and Ozzy. And why is it that someone like John Bonham can die in his prime, while a moron like Brett Michaels lives on to create a monstrosity like "Rock of Love"?

Well that whole rock scene ended in 1992 with one guitar riff...

Image

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Pearl Jam - Evenflow

Soundgarden - Outshined

Image
Tool - Stinkfist

Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire

Image
Alice in Chains - Would

Nine Inch Nails - Down in it

Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock

Korn - Blind

Hard to believe that many of these songs came out the same year as some of the hair metal listed above
