Fans of Heavy Metal!

When was Metal really in it's "glory days?"

For me, it was the days of "Hair Metal."
The 80's.

I never watched Headbanger's Ball that much, but I remember on Saturday mornings MTV used to play music videos of Aerosmith, Helix, Motley Crue, Skid Row, and White Lion, and Whitesnake just to name a few.

Rock on, Archie!

Early metal like Sabbath and Deep Purple, new wave British like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and thrash such as Metallica and Slayer. Sorry, I don’t like hair metal.
