Yes, this happened. The Puppet Shakespeare Players joined forces with Dee Snider to teach kids about the letter D. Just watch.

AND I have multiple official record company posters of many Metal bands particularly Mötley Crüe!
You're just raving, dude. Nothing you're saying makes sense. And I clearly got Ace's final comment, that's why I commented on T-Rex. I suggest we drop this, as Ace suggested. None of your replies are really about what I said, so we're having two conversations any how. I think you're having trouble dealing with the idea that someone can love glam, and yet not think it's metal.
As for your "Metal List", Priest... Hmmm to me,they WERE metal up until & including "Priest In The East". after that, they became pop metal... Still good, but in search of the elusive hit single & therefore pop, as in popularity.
Sabbath. Having had a job at one time who's duties included "Babysitting Tony Iommi". (yes really.)I confess that I absolutely don't like any of the material that Ozzy sang on. I much preferred the Dio era, & the album I sat thru the creation of, "Seventh Star".. Such good fun.
This is why I laugh at the "Cookie Monster vocal" death metal bands... They are a joke when they take themselves serious. Which is why GWAR is such fun, they are in on the joke.
It's all supposed to be fun, y'know? Nothin' but a good time?
And finally, are we going to have to change your name to "GlamMetalBoy!" just so people don't get so upset?
Rock on... Ace
I agree that Dio beats Ozzy, hands down.
Yes, I hate cookie monster vocals. Unless it's broken up with real vocals and used for effect, then it can be good.
I suggest 'glamboy' as a name that is both correct and accurate.
Read my lists, Christian. It's ALL Metal of ALL kinds. Like I said, I like all kinds of METAL -- It just has to be GOOD Metal. There are SO many Metal Bands of all kinds you are oblivious to including many Glam, Hair and Power Metal Bands who never made it but are exemplary and their Indy released CDs trade for thousands of dollars.
It's an orbit you choose not to explore and thus are DAMNED to dancing on the head of a pin, listening to -- here's a new genre for you --Shite Metal -- the same old hookless wonders you play and want to discuss over and over again like a broken record on a site that's devoted to GLAM METAL.
Yes, the site is called Bring Back Glam! The creator of the site is making a reference to GLAM METAL, distinctly referring to it in it's commonly used abbreviated form, GLAM.
You say I make no sense but in reality it's your mental shortcomings I also brought to light in this thread of comments that prevent you from acknowledging entire sub-genres of METAL even your Metal "Master", Sam Dunn, classifies as a legitimate category in his Family Tree of Metal, which is THE best thing he ever produced no matter how incomplete it is.
Christian, you ARE obviously a mentally incapacitated poseur of the first order if you cannot comprehend my lists. It's Metal through and through. I am Metalboy! And my name is backed by my knowledge of what I compiled, both BAD and GOOD.
I saw Sabaton open for Accept two summers ago. Amusing at first. Pretty boring after awhile. One good song -- "Metal Machine", natch!
Metalboy! has spoken!
The real issue here is that you continue to be incapable of accepting that I like glam, while knowing it's not metal. Sam says in his doco that he never thought much of glam, although he changed his mind from looking in to it. I can see that glam would figure in a doco on metal, because of how many people are deluded in to thinking they are the same. They are still not.
p.s. I saw Slayer and WWIII, two "Cookie Monster" vocal juggernauts and I can tell you, not only are they annoying as h*ll, they are really quite BORING. I actually could have napped during Slayer, they were such a snorefest.
Again, you fail to acknowledge the very foundation on which this site is built, a site of which you are a staff member, and that foundation is called Glam Metal!
To recap, as you appear confused:
The word 'metal' does not appear on this site's name.
I like lots of music ( even some country ), so saying something is not metal, for me, is not the same as saying it's crap. Therefore, my saying that glam is not metal does not mean I 'hate Poison', or any of the other things you've accused me of saying )
You said on one hand that I was 'like Sam Dunn' for saying glam is not metal, then on the other you use him as proof that it is. Make your mind up.
I am not going to do this again...
Now, one more time...
Allyson named this site Bring Back Glam!, referring to the sub genre of Metal she adores, GLAM Metal in it's commonly used shorthand moniker, "Glam". Has there ever been one post on Bowie? Has there ever been a post on T. Rex? Huh-uh-lo-oh!
Though a wide net is cast to encompass all kinds of music here, sometimes quite randomly, which at times causes a bit of a stir, the main focus is 80's GLAM Metal.
Thus, one can deduce, coupled with her sea of interviews of Glam Metal artists and devout and unabashed love of 80's Glam Metal expressed here on a nearly daily basis, no matter how much you try to dilute it's Glam Metal gene pool with your half a*sed Iron Maidenform and Nickelhack Concert Reviews, Allyson is flagging Glam Metal as the primary reference for the title of this site.
You really are dense. It must have been all that brain damage you inflicted on yourself when you accidentally hit your head while headbanging at an Iron Maidenform concert.
1 - the site is about glam
2 - you think that 80s glam is a form of metal
3 - therefore this site is about metal
Your opinion confirms your opinion. This is not a good argument, or even a sound or logical one. I think all glam is a form of jazz. Therefore this, site is about jazz. Doens't work, does it ?
Christian, When you define "Metal",I still say you are painting with too thin a brush. If I read you right, You're saying Slayer & Megadeth are "Metal", but Poison & Def Leppard are not.
I say that kind of blindered thinking is WRONG. It's all Metal, it's just not YOUR kind of Metal. That's cool if you don't dig something, but it doesn't change the fact that something is Metal. By your ultra-defining what is or isn't Metal, you'd be saying an older band like Steppenwolf isn't Heavy Metal, while I would counter that not only are they Metal, they coined the phrase! (I like smoke n' lightnin', Heavy metal thunder, Racing in the wind ,And the feeling that I'm under...) Metal as a genre' is far & wide with hundred of sub-genre's like "Pomp rock", or what I call Wimp Rock, (Saga - FM, etc.) to the testosterone ridiculousness of "death core" shite-metal like "Decapitated C*nt" & "Celtic Jizzhammer"... They are ALL Metal... some of it's as light as Muzak pumped into a grocery store, but it's all Metal.
Expand thy definitions. A band doesn't have to have an unreadable logo & wear corpse paint to be "Metal".
I'm leaving this with one last thought:
DEEP PURPLE is Heavy Metal, Classic Heavy Metal, and they deserved to be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame long before Heart, Guns n' Roses, Metallica, & just about anybody. And that's all I'm gonna say.
You guys, Play nice. I'm going to go listen to my favorite Glam-Metal band... MINE. ;)

I was going to mention Steppenwolf, as well. "Skullduggery"!
By the way, I just watched all the YouTube clips of your 1990 Halloween Show! Killer! Nice ballerina, too, Bro, hahaha!!!
You guys shoulda been signed, man!
Hey, man, you mentioned in previous comments you were Iommi's babysitter. I assume you meant Personal Assistant. That must have been both cool and pretty crazy. A buddy of mine was Joe Cocker's valet for a couple of years. He told me he had to literally drag Cocker's lifeless passed out body from the Hotel bar, stuff him in the elevator, pull him into his room and throw him on his bed every night after a show. Amazing Cocker lived through all of that self abuse.
I'm sure you've got some pretty incredible Iommi stories, too, but want to keep it all on the DL.
I'm dyin' to get Iommi's book. It's next on my list to read.
What the h*ll can I tell ya?!
It's really quite simple:
The creator of BBG! has acknowledged numerous times the site is primarily focused on Glam Metal. That's why she named it Bring Back Glam!
Here's the description you get in the Google header when you search it on the web...
And I quote:
"The only METAL site on the Internet completely committed to original writing about 80's Glam bands, gossip, interviews and breaking tour news."
See if you can put two and two together, pal.
Talk to Allyson or Ace, if it will help to hear it from someone else.
I look forward to your next Iron Maiden of Nickelback post. They sure will be interesting examples of "writing completely devoted to 80's GLAM bands".
One more thing, Since you mentioned this band... I heard Santa had a shortage of lumps of coal for all the bad kids this year & instead had to give them Nickleback CDs. I do hope they weren't too disappointed in the downgrade.
Happy Sunday! Ace
The question what is metal and what isnt? well you cant call yourself a metalhead and hate the first three metallica albums like christian said. master of puppets is the definitive (did i spell that right) album for all metalheads. shout at the devil is THE motley album, its metal all through, same thing with the one they did with corabi like ace said. im a metalhead at heart, but i love glam, and rock n roll!
