80's Metal: Classic Or Dud?

yeah, jel has a point on the end of SHARP RUSTY METAL BLADE READY TO ROCK YOU TO A MERCILESS JOURNEY OF DESPAIR AND MAYHEM.... *OOOGABOOGAOOOGABOOGA WAAAA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-H YEEEEEAH!*

Though having said that, I did find this great site with hair-metal MP3's!...Must find that link...

Jel, I kiss you... KISS YOU KISS YOU KISS YOU!

MY TONGUE IS LIKE POISON, IT FILLS UP YOUR MOU-OU-OUTHHHHHH

80's speed/thrash/death metal, classic. As for hair/glam metal, don't care for it. It reminds me too much of county fairs, nausea, and babysitters inviting ther boyfriends over and ordering me not to tell my parents. And Freddy fuckng Krueger.

Survive is by far my favorite Nuclear Assault album - go figure. The one before it was too hit and miss and they lost some of the hardcore edge on Handle With Care - especially on the Glenn Evans tracks.

Yay! that site had Vain....no one ever remembers them but they had a great, sad, kinda minor key glam metal album in the late 80s called no respect...they split the difference between the first LA Guns record and D.A.D....awesome!

hundreds of streaming 80s Hair/Glam metal videos are available here!

'Fight To Be Free' and 'Survive' are still some of the most intense metal songs I've ever heard. One of my all-time favorite metal moments is where John Connelly screams "Its time to stand up and make yourself FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on 'Fight To Be Free'

You can probably tell I really love that album. Its an all-time favorite. I hope theyre iTunes friendly too. Whatever that means.

'Rise From The Ashes' is probably the best song though. I remember listening to that shit so loud and that part where Dan Lilker plays that really fast bassline by himself and they go into that fuckin INSANE fast part - thats just amazing. They were and still are such an underrated band. They are right behind Slayer for me when it comes to just brutal, agressive hardcore metal.

I just love how that Britny Fox picture appears on every 80s metal thread.
