I would agree they were the heavy metal of their day. They sure inspired the whole 80's LA scene. (which was IMO the best music scene EVER)

And when I posted above about metal evolving for the past 30 or so years, I should have said 40.

Nope. Wrong there.

Also, if one of the two bands are metal (Korn and Van Halen), it's definitely Van Halen. Without a doubt, due to the solos alone.

However, if Korn have ever done a metal song, one could prove me wrong (assuming it's one of their "album tracks"...I've heard a couple of albums in their entirety, plus the singles and a few assorted tracks off of the others). I have never heard a single song by Korn I would call "metal", although I have read their demos were heavier and more aggressive than any album they ever recorded.
