Heavy Metal Anyone?

There has been many bands whom have been called metal, look at the old Grammy thing, or some past music reward ceremony,.when Jethro Tull won best heavy metal song?

REALLY,  ??
not metal.

look at that Def Leppard band, I’m not a huge fan, their early ep and first three records were very influential to the NWOBHM sound, then they went pop rock, and that is all, they have been a pop rock band since, and have made a $hit of money.
 One of my wife’s fav bands.

My huge peeve the past 25 or so years, and currently is the 819 genres given to metal:

 There are too many to list, my brother/sister rivethedz know the drill.
drives me nuts.

  When I was young, it was all under one huge umbrella called HEAVY METAL, that is all.

Yes sir!
  Grew up on the NWOBHM stuff from this one seller at a local flea market, had a box of tapes, and I would buy one every week.
  I cut my teeth on venom, spartan warrior, tank, Raven, crossfire bitch, Mercyful fate, Bathory, I would always look for the fastest band I could find.
once the early mid 80’s thrash hit my ears, I was in love. Never looked back. Still listen to metal daily. I have to have it, it’s what keeps me going.

cant express how much I love metal, it’s in my blood.
always will be.

In the mail a few days ago, I received three new CDs.

 New The Who cd
new pretty maids
new tygers  of pan tang cd.

past few days new Tesla, assassin, s.d.i., new blitzkrieg Ep,
among many others, this is a great month, getting caught up on releases finally.

new darkthrone is good, 
new whitesnake is good.

few others, but have not listened to all of them.

What was great, Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland, when joined Megadeth, they were jazz musicians, play, drums, guitar, were different from many bands,
  Gar’s drums were an opposite to metal, give a listen, it’s amazing, yet the Killing is my business record was an absolute masterpiece!
   The wankers,..
 of metallisnatch were quicker to release “kill em all” before megadeths killing is my business album. 
   Listening to so much metal since the early 80s’
megadeths catalogue is far better than the Snatchtallica band. 
  The complete discography of megadouche is far better than the metallicrotch discography!
Many of you little yutes  may say I’m nuts, But look, listen, and the music, songwriting is way better than metallitaint.    Yet Dave is still angry about getting the boot from the band.
he has done so much better , better music, and so on.
he should have sued them more for that lil curly haired hammet and his pomeade stealing his riffs.
