Glam Metal

A Genre of Heavy Metal popular from 1981-1992. Also known as Hair Metal or Sleaze Metal. Those who hate it and say it sucks obviously know nothing about pre-1990's Metal, and must think the whole Metal genre is based around Goth Devil worshipers and suicide/depression.

Glam Metal was the most popular form of Heavy Metal before Grunge ruined everything in the early 90's. It originated from L.A. and took the 70's Glam Rock style and mixed it with a heavier sound. Unique riffs and hooks, with awesome shredded guiar solos were the norm. Also the Power Ballad, a slower but heavy song was quite common too. Basiclly this genre was about partying, keeping people entertained, and having a FUN time in a relatively DULL decade. And for all the idiots who think it was all make-up, spandex, and "looking like a chick", you're wrong. Most just had long hair. Only a few bands such as Motley Crue, Poison, Tigertailz, etc went all out with the Glam image, and if you can't tell they are men then you're an idiot! The image was meant to give a wild impression, to shock people, to be different. Something people have forgotten about in 2012.

In 1992 music in genre went down hill. Being a flannel wearing depressed loser suddenly became the "in" thing. And after Cobain killed himself all the ghetto CRap/Hip Hop, wimpy Boy Bands, and generic Alternative Rock BS took over the Radio stations. Muisc hasn't been the same since.

Some Glam Metal bands: Kix, Warrant, Bon Jovi, Babylon A.D, Cinderella, W.A.S.P., XYZ, and guess what, even Ozzy Osbourne went Glam in the 80's and he practically INVENTED the whole Metal genre.

white metal

Think black metal, but lighter, and with references to Christianity and stuff.

Bloodgood is okay, as far as White Metal goes, but Dimmu Borgir kicks everybody's ass.
