Well Droogie Death Angel's Act III was a little bit commercial esp. that ballad
"Room With A View." And Testament's The Ritual was a bit commercial in their sound
too even though I liked that album esp. the songs "Electric Crown" and "Return To Serenity" and Im not even going to mention anything from that certain band that
made the Black album and beyond. Just trying to give examples of thrash bands
trying to go mainstream. And Ted I think DLR was from Lafayette In along with
Izzy and Axl from GNR and someone told me Mick Mars was from IN as well.

carnut said:Talking about Metal here, not slipknot...I ment bannds that have a clearly commercial influence (mostly Glam-metal-ish if you look at the 80's), but still sound very heavy...
we'll agree to disagree again ... Slipknot is a metal band in my opinion, but you are talking about the Creed, Slaughter, Kingdom Come, Poison type bands, right?
gotcha.........

Wyvern said:The old discussion...again. Slaughter, Kingdom Come, Poison are metal bands (even if I don't like them). Creed, Slipknot are not (and I don't like them either).
I beg to differ about the glam bands lol.. but then again that is expected of me.. to me Heavy "commercial" Metal are a little more then the glam bands.. they have a tinge of "metal" in them.. to me Poison and the others never had any tinge of "metal" in them... they were just hard rock or party rock (i like this term better)... but something like Def Leppard on Pyromania, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister etc.. were Heavy "Commercial" Metal... in other words bands that pretty much sang Metal anthems... to me Alice Cooper probably started the whole thing.. so to me Quiet Riot's Metal Health or Def Leppard's Foolin or Twisted Sister's Were not going to Take it are Heavy "commercial" Metal and not Poison's Fallen Angel, White Lion's Wait, Warrant's Cherry Pie etc... but that's just my opinion... :: puts on helmet and jock strap on and assumes defensive position lol :::

Like I said before, genres are labels, and labels are wrong. If it gets you rockin, it's good music, if not, it might be good music to someone else. It's all good. I understand that it's just a discussion, not trying to start anything

When i saw the name of the thread, i immediately thought of Lizzy Borden, pre-Come Out And Play Twisted Sister , W.A.S.P., pre-Theater of Pain Motley Crue, some Dokken, some of 80's Priest and TT Quick. Meaning bands who are heavy and have an appeal to the non-glam audience, but at the same time have enough hooks and accessibility to appeal to the glam audience, as well. They can fit in well with the King Diamonds and Iron Maidens of the world, as well as the Ratts and Wingers of the world, as well.

That ass could be commercially successful although far from glam.
Turbo and Trash were the first two albums that came to mind (I like both) but they were already mentioned. Also mentioned was Lizzy Borden and I think the Visual Lies album was about as close to commercial as Lizzy got (and I like that one too!).
