Ridin' the Nightrain Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Motley aren't true metal. Sure, you can say they're metal just becaue they're a hair-metal band, but that doesn't make them proper metal. Just like nu-metal and metalcore bands are proper metal.Anything that's cheesey and radio friendly, and (to a lesser extent) technically simplistic isn't what metal is about. If I had my way I'd label Crue as pop.I mean...COME ONThat hooray for tolerance! shit ain't metal.Okay, let's clear something up here. Motley Crue were established before hair metal (which most consider Bon Jovi kicked off). They only adapted hair metal production for their later albums. Their debut Too Fast for Love is a heavy metal album, since it does not incorporate pop production and is too heavy to be called hard rock. Even if bands like Bon Jovi could pass for hard rock, Motley Crue were always too heavy to be considered hard rock, even in the prime of their pop success with Dr. Feelgood. You chose a light song of theirs, stuff like "Kickstart My Heart", or "Wild Side" although hair-metallish is undoubtedly heavier. I'm not the biggest Motley Crue fan so this isn't really a defense of them, but I'm just getting facts straight. What else should we call them? Pop? They're much too heavy to be called pop. But even if you'd consider their later day albums pop, please listen to Too Fast for Love and explain to me how on earth it ISN'T metal?I'll download that album sometime to give it a listen. Not sure what songs are on it, but every Crue song I've ever heard has been 100% generic hair metal.Obviously it'd be foolish to comment on an album I've not heard. (As I sometimes feel people do around here)And most of their stuff isn't too heavy to be pop IMO. I mean, the song I linked earlier (which I happen to be quite fond of, honestly, liked it when I was younger - nostalgia value) could easily fall under pop for me.

The pop influences are from 70's bands like Sweet or Cheap Trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutant Rose Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Not sure which CD I would choose, but hands down the band for this "mood" Would be Pantera. Walk is probably my most played metal song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callaghan Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 probably ride the lightning or City by SYL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo behave Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 All Type o negative albums are my favourites. Also pantera. Burzum, darkthrone, satyricon are great. Faith no mores' angel dust is sick. Just few to mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
