You really have to give Abbath credit for knowing how cheesy they were and still doing it.

We (the house of old) decided judas priest was an important bridge between hard rock and the evolution of metal. But that mostly Black Sabbath invented the genre and nothing going on in the US during that time touches it.
Slipnot is post MTV so doesn't come into consideration since I'm pretty sure video killed the hard rock star. And replaced him with with a leotard, a teased wig and some lipstick.
We also realized that pretty much everything old that is considered metal is cheezy as fuck.

Granted, Alice Cooper/KissEtc. Was pop, but certainly paved the way for many artists, from Rob Zombie to GWAR, which are fun in their own way if you embrace the cheese. (But yeah, not 'metal' the way we think of it now).
Mostly one just has to realize that everything los angeles did to all cultures in the 80s justified a nuclear warhead aimed at southern california
And yes bon jovi is an honorary los angeles band. One can still smell rotten cheese through denim

Sheesh, I'm in it for the harmonies and texture, not the act - although the horror it raises in some good citizens is a nice bonus, too.
Old? The whole genre is based on absurd affectations. Occasionally someone actually spits out good music, but most of it just focuses on said affectation.We also realized that pretty much everything old that is considered metal is cheezy as fuck.
does that mean elves and dragons tellin off the man?
I'm just amazed at how astoundingly bad my taste in music was at 14. When you're so used to being perfect, that kind of thing can be pretty jarring.
The first tape I ever purchased was Twisted Sister, I was 7. Quality went up rapidly from there.

not metal. just fucking good fucking music.
Is Buckethead ‘metal’, or just preposterous guitar?
Is Steve Vai ‘Metal’?
Is Yngve Malmsteen ‘’Metal’?
It’s so confusing.
