All you've provided is hollow and incessant denial of them being metal, your sole attempt at substantiation of these denials being "Well no one called them that when I was growing up", and I shouldn't even have to begin to explain how little water that holds.
What the fuck do i need to prove? Do you think i havent heard them or something? You know how i can tell those are hard rock albums? Because my ears work. Maybe taking off your gay glam fanboy goggles will help.
You need to prove that it's hard rock you niggling twit, simply declaring something so doesn't make it such. The reason there was only select songs, is cause I shouldn't have to link half a band's discography to demonstrate a genre classification, if you want more, I've got more. The fact of the matter is, the scales, modes, and musical tropes used by Mötley Crüe and others fit the bill for traditional heavy metal with glam inflections, hence, glam metal. For the third time, age is immaterial here, I have made no claims on the basis of my age, as it is irrelevant to the debate at hand. Something as superficial as being of a certain age or being in a "proper metal band" does not answer the actual query, the sonic one.Are you kidding me, Kara? Linking one or two heavy songs from a hard rock band means they're metal?
So you say you're 73 years old or whatever, but you cant seem to remember that nobody(including a shit-load of proper metal bands) considered glam to be metal? hmmmm ... i'm not so sure about you.
Tell me, does it say "Emphatic denial in absence of evidentiary substantiation" on your birth certificate, or is that just a favored nickname? I wore a Dokken shirt, leather jacket, denim jeans, and bullet belt to a Morbid Angel show once in '89, fist fought two guys.100% wrong.
I need to prove to you that a widely known hard rock band is actually a hard rock band?
There is nothing heavy, or metal about them ... unlike the "large swathe of NWOBHM" bands you wanted to compare them too. They're clearly one of your favorite bands(sad) and i've ruffled some very fine feathers so im just going to drop this. But we both know you probably would have had a beer can thrown at your head in the late 80's and 90's if you showed up to a thrash or death metal show with a motley crue shirt on
yeah i dont think anyone gives a fuck right nowadays. But you know how different it was back then. The whole proper metal vs the LA faggotry that was going on. I remember that shit like it was yesterday. But let me be clear, not once have i seen anyone get psychically beaten up or whatever for having glam shirt's on.
If you say so, fashion police. Tell me, of all genres, isn't it interesting that you're picking metal to critique, mission control to Apollo, metal in general has one of the most absurd fashion setups ever.
Bon Jovi had a few metal tunes, but he was overwhelmingly hard rock, Poison scrape by as pop metal at best, but are surely almost entirely hard rock. Shitty hard rock at that.Bon Jovi and Poison were killer metal bands too, right?
