    favorite 80s metal band

    I was just wondering what everyone's favorite 80s metal band is. This is excluding Van Halen or DLR. Mine would definatly be Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction was great.

      My favorite 3 were Maiden. GnR and Metallica.

          I was the perfect little '80s metal consumer. Blasted Motley, Ratt and Leppard alongside VH early on. AC/DC was a given, but they were '70s really.

          Faded off in mid-'80s not liking Bon Jovi and Poison as much. Probably a Van Hagar funk. GNR helped me though even though Axl is a prick. Metallica helped too, but I don't call them '80s metal.

          Late bloomers like Skid Row, Bullet Boys, Firehouse and Badlands are still what I call some of my "new CDs." Guess I'm an old fart!

          Alot of decent stuff to be had yet in the bargain bins if you're a gamblin' man. There was some talent in amongst the Aquanet. I still have so many of these forgotten cassettes 'cause they ain't worth anything to anyone else.

                  Back then I was listening to W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Motley Crue and GNR...

                  I even lip-synched W.A.S.P. when I was 8...wearing stockings and tiger-colored swimming pants...that was cool.

                      Metallica for me. I enjoyed what they bring to the 80's.
                      Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!

                        VH (of course)
                        Metallica
                        Ratt (seen a dozen times in concert at least, which also means I saw Poison more than I would have liked)
                        Crue (almost double figs, don't remember much of the 80s)
                        Maiden
                        Rush
                        Guns
                        Lep
                        Skid Row
                        Badlands
                        Bulletboys

                        Probably more, that one brain cell left working over to remember these. Good thread though.
