Glam Metal, easily...more inspired by English Glam Rock & AOR than Metal...

I find grindcore a bit justifiable, because pure grindcore is really just punk at it's most extreme. There's stuff like deathgrind that's totally metal, but the line tends to blur the closer to punk you get.

But black metal? Not metal? As far as I'm concerned black, along with death and thrash are the core of modern metal.

Ok glam metal is not exactly metal is more hard rock... What is hard rock? Can anyone set a clear line between hard rock and metal? I think NO.

And by the way what about the fake "satanic" or "antisosial" and childish lyrics of all these "extreme" metal bands who make metal looks as a  ridiculous kind of music played and listened by fools?

As about me I was a hard rocker I am a hard rocker and I think I am gonna stay a hard rocker for a long time... For me to be a hard rocker is like a  nobility title.

And excuse me I find songs like "Dazed and Confoused" a million times heavier than all the discography of all the "Immortals" and "Deicides" of this planet!

And please for ONE and ONLY ONE time my beloved extreme bands DON'T destroy the system and DON'T let his majesty Satan himself to burn us alive. Just for one time....

P.S.: I DON'T want to offend ANYONE but what is metal and what is not needs a lot of talk! And yes I like a some extreme bands but I think the most of them are just garbage! Heavy sound for me means strength power and a lot of melody NOT noise produce. If someone offended again I apologize...

Don't take it personally my friend LittleBig. I'm not the defender of glam metal.

And yes there are many differences between bands like Motorhead, Motley Crue, Fates Warning, Candlemass, Whitesnake, Faith No More, Thin Lizzy, Ministry, Warrior Soul, Bon Jovi, Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Rush etc.

But I think all of these bands at least they try to write songs that the people will remember and never pretend that they are the "Hardest" or the "Heavier" guys on this planet....

Today we have a lot of songs full of distorted guitars with a lot of "aaarrrggg" and "bbblllaaarrrggg" vocals but a few songs like "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City". And yes songs like this maybe sound "light" to the ears of some people but very "heavy" to mine.

I'm not a God to make anyone to change his musical habbits. You read carefully my post?

No I'm not at the wrong forum...

^ True. Whitedragon1969, are you saying that bands such as The Project Hate MCMXCIX or bands such as Neuromist, whose 2010 album is very good- and free, try to be just heavy and there songs just happen to be very good? That is not true at all, they play in a certain style that makes sure their music is heavy, but I can almost assure you that most bands try to make their songs sound good with sound songwriting, unless they are only in it for the money, and in that case they probably stink anyway. 

Progressive Metal is an aberration, these guys don't even remember how to make the horn sign anymore
