Some bad metal moments

Raven's The Pack is Back.

If it were another band entirely....it might have been a rather decent album. But this is the band with the hockey gear-clad nutcase who played drums with his head. Synthesizers belong nowhere NEAR this band.

The Mentor's post-You Axed for It!.

Honestly, that whole clownish misogony thing got old really, really freakin quick loooong before Al Gore made their lyrics famous (although hearing ol' Al reading the lyrics to 'Golden Shower' on the senate floor was one of the funniest moments in American history)

Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".

This thing gave birth to the whole power ballad formula in hair metal. Nothing wrong with metal bands doing a good ballad, but the whole thing became insanely formulaic over the next few years afterwards. Every new hair metal band always did the same two things: 1. Release an anthemic party rocker, and 2. Release a cheesy ballad. Even Guns N' Roses did the same thing with Welcome to the Jungle' and then 'Sweet Child of Mine'.

How about the 80's for a start.

You liked the 90's better?

"thebandthatshallneverbementionedagain" are a metal band!!!! And responsible for one of the worst sub genres in metal Nu-Metal.

That being said I am a "thebandthatshallneverbementionedagain" fan.

Heh, I remember how Welcome to the Jungle came out and not too many people gave a crap. They dismissed them as just another glam band. Then Sweet Child of Mine came out, everyone completely freaked for it, and suddenly Welcome to the Jungle became a hit also because it was cool to like GnR. The music never changed but it's interesting how hype can change people's minds.

Actually when I see what the 90s and this decade has offered, I thank God for 80s music.

I actually prefer alot of the 90's music than music that came out of the 80's.

The first 3-4 years of the 90's was infinitely greater than the entire 80's imo. Things got interesting again after the malaise of 80's Metal, this incredible proliferation of exciting and different hard rock/metal bands that took chances and dared to be different. Kinda mirrored what the 70's were about for this music (which is my personal peak for Metal music), that intense creativity and eclecticism something i felt a majority of 80's Metal lacked.
