Metal.

Hehe, those days must have been cool, with music getting wilder and glam being bashed. That was because the guys from MetallicA viewed the glam guys as posers, that where giving metal a soft, commercial aspect. "If you came here to see spandex and big hair this ain't you'r band." - MetallicA's "warcry"
Talent. I heard a few glam songs myself, and MetallicA's stuff are harder to preform. You probably heard the new metallica, because yeah, these days Hetfield's voice sucks, Kirk's pretty sloppy and annoying with his wah-wah, Lars is lazy...
But there was a time when both Hetfield and Kirk shredded like mad, and Hetfield's voice was really good.

i have listened to all metallica albums.

i know various 80s bands who wore spandex who piss over metallica.

even ones im not a major fan on piss over them, take whitesnake 1987 onwards.

Shotgun Messiahs guitarist could also piss over kirk anyday.

RATT, there first 3 albums have amazing riffs and guitar solos.

just because they have catchy chorus;s and look cooler doesnt mean they have no talent.

apparently this band are "hair metal"

personally i think that can kick the shit out of term "hair metal"

Those are bands/people I didn't hear songs from.
Thrash is generally harder to play than glam.
Still, the reason MetallicA bashed the glam scene didn't have anything to do with talent, it was because they viewed them as "weak" and "fake". (ironic how they would become the same)

well one of the main bands metallica hated was a band called RATT

whilst they did have a very cheesy image, even for a glam band there riffs were bloody good....

here, a song by them.

they do have catchy chorus's and they have cheesy as hell videos, but the music is great.

i forgot to mention DOKKEN also, whos original guitarist george lynch totally owns all.

Lets not forget van halen, they follow, if not started the glam metal formula.

Some people say that scorps aren't metal but if you listen to there old stuff with Uli Roth on guitar and not Matthias Jabs, then they were a lot more heavier.

I enjoy in Power Metal (bands like Blind Guardian) and Progresiv Metal (Iced Earth... they are fantastic)

Are you familiar with Sonata Arctica, Helloween, or Dream Theater? Those are some of my favorites in that genre. Also, do you like Dragonforce?

P.S. Thanks Dekapitator for the reccomendations. I'll try to check out those albums.

[BKS_tmo]

Absolutely yes, i love Sonatas album "Silence". But Dragonforce is not familiar to me.

Yeah, Silence is great! I love Power Metal.

You haven't heard of Dragonforce? Check out their first album "Valley of the Damned," the guitars are amazing.

Ok, thanks.
