LOL I was born in the 50's. I remember Rod and a few others trying them around their necks. Never thought that looked manly. But of course some younger guy just had to follow.

[roadmaster]

I remember Aerosmith putting them around their heads. Sometimes Led Z.

Nope. Lithium is though. I have a serious problem with music that is played too much, like that song.

My old high school garage band used to do a few Dokken tunes. Did Alone but we didn't have a singer.

One day my guitarist's little brother decided he would give singing a shot. Being smack in the middle of puberty didn't help his cause.

It was pretty bad, I can still hear it in my mind.

[GrassrootsConservative]

We've got White Zombie in this bitch now too? Fuck it.

White Zombie? VH?

Not even close.

Hard to say what genre Rob/White Zombie is ... it's like the Heavy Metal genre essentially beginning with Led Zepplin, maybe KISS to Van Halen etc. ... is now known as Death Metal ...

Today we just call it Hair Bands and we know what we're talking about ...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MotNtq41NDw

[Captain Obvious]

Rob is industrial, White is just metal.

VH is basic rock, same for Sister. Goth or glam rock maybe.

[exotix]

Further, how you would classify RUSH ...

Prog rock.

[exotix]

Yeah all the same ... Rob Zombie would be skating as Industrial ... for instance your metal up the ass thread ... WASP is metal ... back in the 80's ... and is closer to Hair Bands ... nothing to do with Goth despite thier costumes ... Goth is Death Metal ...

Joan Jett is Metal ? .. LOL


She's more of the genre of Lita Ford ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fckR5u2ukeQ

[Captain Obvious]

Rob is classic industrial. WASP is a gray area, I admit. I'd call them metal, they're not a traditional hair band. Twisted Sister would be more glam than goth, yeah I agree with that.

I don't know where you got Joan Jett from. She's basic rock.

[exotix]

Prog rock.

That would be news to MTV back in the 80's ...

Toronto's Rush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_%28band%29), who formed in 1968, became a major band, with a string of hit albums beginning in the mid-1970s.

I'm not sure why you're trying to redefine music styles, this is pretty basic stuff.

80's Heavy Metal or 80's Metal was basically invented by Black Sabbath (1970) which was deemed *Dark* (a real genre move from the Doors, Hendrix, Santana but not Joplin) say as opposed to Led Zepplin or even Montrose ...

Yes sub-genres ... that's the point ...

Progressive rock, also known as prog rock, prog-rock or simply prog, is a rock (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Rock_music) music subgenre (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Subgenre)[2] (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#cite_note-2) which originated in the United Kingdom (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/United_Kingdom), with further developments in Germany (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Germany), Italy (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Italy) and France (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/France), throughout the mid to late 1960s and 1970s.

Developing from psychedelic rock (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Psychedelic_rock), progressive rock originated, similarly to art rock (http://thepoliticalforums.com/wiki/Art_rock), as a British attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.[3] (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#cite_note-AllMusic1-3)

Progressive rock intended to break the boundaries of traditional rock music by bringing in a greater and more eclectic range of influences, including free-form and experimental compositional methods, as well as new technological innovations.

Rammstein would be more Grunge than sissy-ass Nirvana or what's deemed American Grunge.

Grunge is an American genre. It started in Seattle. One of the few actual things America can claim the origin of.

Pretty much everything can be traced back to Africa or the Orient as far as music goes if you want to go back that far, but the 80's was a period of (early) definition and (later) confusion.

Metal was metal, regardless of who inspired it. Maiden, Priest, etc. led the way. Sabbath, Zepplin probably would be just considered "rock" or "hard rock". Once these borders became somewhat defined, they became challenged and sub-genres came about. Hairbands, techno, "hair metal" (ie: WASP). Disco would have been a defined style arising in the early 70's and maybe inspiring some of the sub-genres like techno.

And then there is the classic 80's stuff like Men Without Hats and the like, all a genre on it's own. 90's saw grunge and more sub-genres and now it's pretty wide open. Hard to classify anything newer.

All Rock music and it genres and sub-genres originated from (European) classical music ... or symphonic rock (spreading to genres and sub-genres) ... as scores and tempos as an orchestra ... that is, a sophisticated form of instrumental music as concertos ...

From time to time we're brought back to these roots with say The Electric Light Orchestra and the Trans Siberian Orchestra ... heck even River Dancing and Celtic Woman

And it's rather exciting to watch *Rockers & Metalists* play with symphonys ...

And tribal African music preceded all of that.

I wouldn't be able to tell industrial from trance ... you must take a lot of extasy to make that difference ... LOL.

I'm really enjoying this thread....I rated it excellent!

Industrial = Techno with metal influences.
Trance = Techno with the same beats over and over.

[exotix]

And tribal African music preceded all of that.

Not exactly true ... say for instance, *real* industrial is *primal* ... or screamo goth metal tectronic ... a primal ceremony (to the heavens) from early-man ... yeah I like that ...

[Captain Obvious]

Are you suggesting that goth preceded African tribal music?

That's a pretty easy theory to debunk, btw.

Depends on what one is celebrating ... that is, music is a celebration ...

Yeah I did that on purpose ... I was going to put it in 60's & 70's thread being they emerged in the early-mid 70's ... as modern-pop-culture ... a wide swath of genres ... Blue Oyster Cult is 80's Heavy Metal (simply, distorted guitar sound) who's *popular* influence is the same as Dio/Black Sabbath when Ozzy exited ...

[exotix]

Ugh. Fail genre thread.

What can I say ... you're monolithic when it comes to genres ...

Say for instance I bet you didn't know Billy Idol invented Generation X (a kind of merge of Punk antics with Rock 'n Roll sound) ... by simply calling his first band Generation X in 1977 ... this was actually the emergence of new wave ... (later Billy Idol failed miserbly by wearing dreadlocks and calling his *new sound* ... *cyber-rock* ... a failed venue he needed as his life turned-upside down)

This early Generation X/new wave can never be confused with what we know as Generation X which basically assumed Seattle grunge/Nirvana and has now reinvented into the Peculiar Culture as Generation Y and now Z ... (Goth/Techno influences)

All of these are *The Angry Youth Culture* that has never ceased since the anti-Viet Nam War movement ... or hippies (psychedelic rock such as Grateful Dead/Iron Butterfly ... giving way to Hendrix, Doors, Joplin ... where Hendrix & Doors are early heavy metal and Joplin is Blues Rock) ...


The most epic moment for Rock influence is Van Halen ... which I believe is in the Guiness Book of Records as single-handedly bringing Rock back (from Disco) ... and with Eddie Van Halens strum/finger-pick chords (that he kept carefully hidden on stage on the Sunset/Hollwood Srtip of night clubs mainly Gazzari's)
