Controversial opinions on metal

[The Batlord]

Who the fuck cares about guitar solos when Motley Crue's songs destroy all of those bands?

 

[Satanstoenail]

Mick Mars wrote better riffs than Slash and Izzy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

riffs, lol. For gods sake we're talking about fuckin' guns n roses, skid row and motley crue. What riffs?

 

[Baroque]

AC/DC haven't been mentioned but they are the masters of the arena hard rock riff. so simple and straightforward yet they kick the ass of most rock bands including motley crue

 

[CiG]

I feel the same way about KISS, though that probably won't go over well here, but they ruled the arena hard rock riff for so long.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i wont do AC/DC the disservice of mentioning them with most of these other shitty bands.They are straight-forward hard rock though ...unlike some of these wannabe heavy metal bands.

quiet riot. glam or not?

 

[Baroque]

nah man I wouldn't say quiet riot is glam. they weren't that good and had like 1 good song. but glam? i thought they dressed more like judas priest or something

radio friendly =/= glam

 

[Krow]

Quiet Riot's existence is weird. Their famous song isn't even theirs and it doesn't even fit on the album but it's crammed directly in the middle.

It doesn't even really sound different from the original.

I don't really consider them glam for whatever that's worth. Hard rock with a goofy image I guess.

Oh hmm I was talking about Metal Health, but never knew cum on feel the noize was a cover song.

 

[CiG]

Slade's version is better.

of course it doesn't. I'm just bringing up bands that have know t cause controversy over being labeled glam or not.

As far as quiet riot goes i remember their sound being borderline glammy pop rock/hard rock. When you look up hair "metal" their name pops up in most articles, their albums are on a bunch of glam lists, etc.

but never knew cum on feel the noize was a cover song.

really? One of the few things i actually know about the band.

I was never a huge fan of Motley Crue but I got a free ticket to see them live about 10 years ago and was pretty imressed with Mick Mars' rock riffery.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Controversial opinion: Motley Crue's S/T is legit good despite being a weird 90s forced-aggro thing.

[The Butt]

People who hate glam are closet queers.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah but people who love glam are outed queers. the rest of us are somewhere in the middle

 

[The Batlord]

People who love glam are hermaphrodites and so have transcended the need for sex with others.

True. Semi-out half-scared-of-admitting-it queers around here.

Not me. Gimme all the dicks and Faster Pussycat albums.

l have a few (several?) glam albums and l admit l like them all. From Japan's Loudness to Scandinavia's (Swedes?) Shotgun Messiah. the main criteria for me tho is the geetar..a good riff is a good riff but it's all about context and glam or DM, like l said, a good riff is a good riff
