Is a program made by the VH1 channel about the best heavy metal songs that have been made in the history of the genre. It had four chapters, each one lasting...
- MÖTLEY CRÜE. Mötley Crüe is nothing less (and, in fact, a whole lot more) than the biggest, best, most outrageous, most unhinged, most extreme-in-every-sense over-the-top and off-with-their-tops living, rocking, wrecking embodiment of 1980s hair metal itself.
- GUNS N' ROSES. Are Guns N’ Roses the single greatest rock-and-roll band to appear on this list? Absolutely. Are they glam metal? Well, much like when pondering if the New York Dolls were “punk rock,” per se, the answer is “Yes, but….”
- POISON. The cover art of Look What the Cat Dragged In arguably stands (and winks and pouts and blows kisses) as the single most definitive photo-based image of the entire ’80s glam metal movement.
- HANOI ROCKS. Really, it all starts with Hanoi Rocks, and, in a large sense, glam metal never entirely recovered from the ferocious Finn packing it up in the aftermath of drummer Razzle’s horrific 1984 car crash death (compounding the tragedy is that Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil was the one drunk driving).
Jul 10, 2006 · 8. SLAYER – “Raining Blood” I think I must have been watching “Pants off Dance Off” during this part of the show. Slayer scares me, they seem like they might legitimately like the devil. Also the title of this song is just all out creepy. 7.
- ‘Welcome to Hell,’ Venom. Blasphemy has been an effective attention grabber for centuries, but until 1981, heavy metal had never seen a band go as all-in on Satan as the three lads from Newcastle calling themselves Venom did.
- ‘Planets Collide,’ Crowbar. In the early Nineties, Crowbar established themselves as the gruffest act on the bustling New Orleans metal scene. But “Planets Collide,” the leadoff track from the band’s fifth album, 1998’s Odd Fellows Rest, showed that there was way more to guitarist-vocalist-bandleader Kirk Windstein than his bellowing, grimacing MTV visage suggested.
- ‘Executioner’s Tax (Swing of the Axe),’ Power Trip. Everything about Power Trip screamed throwback — from their tasteful marriage of hardcore and thrash, building on the golden era of so-called “crossover,” right down to their 1987-style album-cover font.
- ‘43% Burnt,’ The Dillinger Escape Plan. Prog and hardcore punk once seemed like polar musical opposites, but by the late Nineties, a handful of innovative acts had found a way to combine the complexity of the former style with the fury of the latter.
