You're absolutely right, Drexle. If I could, I would. It just pisses me off that people took to those classifications like a monkey to bananas. As far as I'm concerned, you can round up all the marketing execs on the planet and fire rounds of rubber bullets into the crowd until they're all fucking crying.
Hell fuckin' yeah! Anyone who calls Bon Jovi, Poison, or in my opinion, even Motley Crue metal is just fucking WRONG. Metal is good, cock-rock is not. Plus, I love Guns 'N Roses, but I'd call them Hard Rock more than metal. And I'd hate to even do that. Aaaarrgh! Fucking labels!
Nate, I have no idea what you were talking about. Alice in Chains was pretty metal. I can't get into bands like Evisceration and stuff anymore, but Corrosion of Comformity, Alice in Chains, and others ARE metal. Nirvana didn't kill anything, other than perhaps Kurt Cobain. Nirvana's roots were actually in Punk. Do some homework, buddy.
