HEAVY: The Story of Metal

[Carloscda]

Watching on VH-1 Classic
They considered the a metal band? They also brought up when they opened for Sabbath and blew them off the stage every night!

It was also said that no one could touch them on the strip! "They did what no one could do or have ever done"!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

It's been on many, many times....

[binnie]

I wouldn't consider them metal, although I don't doubt that they've influenced a ton of metal bands........

[Panamark]

Light up the Sky !!

I could throw those two on any Metal compilation, no probs....
Even good old Panama.....

I think Loss Of Control, Fools, and Unchained could easily fit in too.

Atomic Punk
Intruder
House of Pain

"Heavy Metal" is such a subjective term...

I mean, is there a visual pre-req ??

Do you "have" to look like Judas Priest ?? Do you "have" to sound like Black Sabbath ??

For Christ sakes, they called Zeppelin heavy metal...

[stringfelowhawk]

yep

Yeah, it has been on a few times.

Not to change the subject but has anyone else noticed they don't play Van Halen videos on "Metal Mania"? Its always the same damn videos every show. I've seen "A lil Ain't Enough" exactly once and the only other related video I've seen and they do show it like every other show is "Goin Crazy". They make it a point to play Scorpions 3 times in a 3 hour show and Kiss 2 or 3 times as well not to mention their fixation on Dokken's "Dream Warriors". Hell they even play Poison and Winger as sad as that is but I'm not exagerating here. I've NEVER seen a Van Halen video on that damn show.

[Panamark]

You would think a channel called VH1 would be obliged
to farken play its namesake !!!

For Christ sakes, they called Zeppelin heavy metal...

Some writer-type says they invented it!

Sabbath would seem a closer relative than Zep.

I just ass-u-me-d all guitar oriented rock was metal.

It's easy to see why CVH was considered "metal" early on...when played between Billy Squire and April Wine, well, whose harder?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I've always thought that the term was created by "Heavy Metal Thunder" in "Born to be Wild"...

[Mr Walker]

not to mention their fixation on Dokken's "Dream Warriors".

LMAO!
Whenever I'm scrolling through the channel bar and see that Metal Mania is on it never fails... once I tune in, this is the video that is always on.
