What is a "dance musician"? Would you say that's more akin to a virgin porn star, a non-violent serial killer or a indigent billionaire?

Smart ass comment!

I stand corrected. I guess I didn't do the appropriate math translating their goofy stage names to the legal names the songwriting credits are linked to. That said, they seem to have songwriting help on nearly every track. Regardless, I'm not sure how you go about writing songs without playing instruments. Perhaps everything is programmed? Actually... don't answer that. I really don't care.

I have to admit, I've always thought less of bands that use outside songwriters. I believe I ripped Queensryche for this in another thread.I don't mind people co-writing or getting material from other writers. Desmond Child has been an inspiration to me for decades. The man can write. I'm not insinuating that you're condemning writers Zod, just throwing more tidbits out for the discussion.
Somewhere there's a rap discussion forum with a thread trying to figure out why Slade is popular.

It's one thing if you co-write a song with a fellow musician who you want to collaborate with, it's another to bring in a Desmond Child.

I'm pretty sure that most metal musicians/songwriters wouldn't be able to write a catchy dance song just as well as most dance musicians/songwriters wouldn't be able to write an asskicking metal song. You can't write something you don't "feel for" and get it right. If they could, I can guarentee you that Steve Harris, Tony Iommi, Kai Hansen, etc would be doing that and making a ton of money on it.
