Vh1's 40 least metal moments

Okay I was watching this show, and something started to really become apparent.

Those TV stations always refer to the glory days of metal as the 80's and big hair. ( something I never refer to, when I think about heavy music).

But 95% of that show was exposing the lame moments of those crap hair bands from the 80's.
Which is weird because they always say and remember how great they were, but all they are doing is adding more evidence that all of them were no talent ass clowns.

One band that was on there multiple times: KISS

Not suprisingly, I always personaly thought they were crap.

what's funny is what people considered "metal" back then......... there wer real metal bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Motorhead, etc. making good music........yet somehow Poison is also somehow labelled metal......WTF? Okay.....they used hairspray........what does that have to do with metal? Lemmy never used no god damn hairspray..........

Actually what I find funny, is what "they" consider metal today. People tend to forget, that metal was around before Metallica hit the scene. Groups like Motley Crue, Fastway, Def Leppard, Europe(Everyone thinks of Carrie, and Final Countdown.... they were around long before those songs), Dokken, etc.... That is original METAL!!!!!! Who gives a sh*t what they looked like, it was all for the show. Music is great and all, but if you have no image, then you're just another faceless band, that people will forget.
And don't think I'm taking anything away from the bands you listed, I persoanlly LOVE MEgadeth always have, and always will. And one of my favorite songs when I was kid, was South Of Heaven from Slayer. Everone in this post and yours are METAL!! Not this garbage they spew out today. That's the real "no-talent crap"

Hmm. I was thinking of awarding you KMC's Most Logical Poster award...I guess I'll take it back.

Better to be faceless and loved for the music than soulless and loved for the image. It's the music the person is making that matters, not the person who made it. Remember that.

Everyone will remember Justin Timberlake...'s face. Who will remember Rock Your Body when compared to Ace of Spades by a bunch of really ugly guys called Motorhead? Yeah.

Because Motley Crue, Poison and Dokken were clearly spewing with the instrumental ability of The Dillinger Escape Plan or Daughters.

There is nothing wrong with having an image. Where there is a problem is when a music artist is selling off of the image and not the music.

You're wrong about not getting getting popular without an image. Does Metallica have an image? or Radiohead for that matter? Neither in my mind have an image and both have been extremely successfull, because they make great music.

What bands fit into the "no-talent Metal crap" in your opinion?

"No Talent-Crap" is Slipknot, and the various other "bands" that claim to be metal.

And yes Metallica had an image, their image was that of angry, long hair, not gonna put up with your b.s. anymore. That is an image.
When I talk about image, you just assume I'm talkin' make-up, and costumes.... I'm not. An image is what you put forth to the people that are there to see you. If you just want to listen to the music, then stay home, and put on the album. When I go see a band, I want to be entertained. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, they entertained. I'm not gonna get into the whole Radiohead issue, I'm not into that kind of music.
When you talk about the artist selling off of the image, you're thinkin' of bands like Poison, and Winger, and so on, most of the mid 80's to early 90's hardrock bands. Yeah, Motley Crue had the make-up and such, but it was just theatrics, you can't tell me Tommy Lee has no talent to back it up. As for Dokken, please, you're gonna sit there and say they had no talent, have you even heard them, have you even heard or seen George Lynch play? Anyway, this isn't an aggressive response, I'm not arguing with you. To each, his own. Everyone has there own idea of what sounds good, and what doesn't. It's pointless for people to argue over such things.... some people like Modonna, some people like Cradle Of Filth 😈 (I fall into the Cradle category myself). Anyway I'm kinda gettin' off subject here 😄

Sorry, the edit button didn't seem to work, so anyway, a classic example of a band that were EXCEPTIONAL musicians, but had no image to put forth: The Guess Who. Probably the worlds most well-known unknown band 🙂 Everyone knows American Woman, These Eyes, Share The Land, No Sugar Tonight, Hand Me Down World, etc.... but the majority couldn't tell you who did them.

Slipknot have more talent in their two guitar players that any band you mentioned, or all the bands you mentioned. You prefer hair metal, which was ironically more about image than music. Hence why it died when Guns 'N' Roses came along, guys who could actually play good music.

Metallica didn't have an image for the sake of having an image, their image was just how they were. They are more known for being the band that made the music on Master of Puppets than they are for being the band who had long hair and were angry. What are Motley Crue known most for? Nikki Sixx almost dying, snorting ants, Tommy Lee's home videos or that one song? Exactly.

What I found funny was the one guy that did playgirl was on the most metal moments countdown and on the least metal countdown for doing playgirl but not taking off his clothes.
