Sorry to disappoint you but i do not worship satan, i do not sit depressed in the corner of my room, muttering how much you hate life. Music = happiness

Well, hair metal isn't metal so ... whatever.
 
I like how everyone shits on the lighter spectrum of heavy music as if it has a higer percentage of shitty bands, when the opposite is true. Also, most of you don't know shit about 60's/early 70's Hard Rock.

I don't think shitting on "hair rock" is shitting on 60s/70s Hard rock, which is respectable. Very few "hair rock" bands are.
 
Think of it this way:

Are dragonflys really dragons?
Are shoe horns actually horns?
Are house flys really houses?

No.

The media labels anything with loud, distorted guitars as metal. How do you think nu-metal came to exist?
 
My favorites are Thrash, Power, and Death Metal.

I know this thread was done already, but I just couldn't live without a poll.
