Neither of those bands were ever considered metal. Hard rock. Yes. metal, no
Comment on This is heresy but lol

And you know what? I like metal heads, they tend to be cool folk who…appreciate their senses differently than I do somehow.

“Glam Rock” is the genre ffs. Imagine thinking “Unskinny Bop” is a metal song…

I agree. I remember when I discovered Ghost. They quickly became one of my favorites. I let my dad listen to it and he loved it too. He said it sounded like “old-school metal”. When I asked what he meant he said “this is what metal used to sound like. When death metal became popular around the 90’s everything got harder. And death metal became metal and old metal became hard rock.”

The big 4 of the 80s thrash metal scene,(Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax), brought us some amazing music but inspired a helluva lot more.
Credit to Ozzy and the Sex Pistols of course, but thrash metal really took it to a new level…of confidence.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
