Nope, you should know better newfag

Samuel Foster
they're gayer
Ryder Walker
They have no influence from glam rock in their music, so they're not glam metal, jackass.
Christopher Hernandez
They all have 80s hair, wear brightly colored spandex, and they're extremely poppy and not heavy at all. Not even by 80s standards. Their songs have big, catchy, poppy, stadium rock choruses.

Hair metal was a mostly American thing. Maiden was NWOBHM.
Blake Barnes
It's proto hair metal, in transition from typical 70s heavy metal to 80s glam metal, influencing thrash along the way.
Thomas Lopez
Oh boy, this thread is gonna piss off some metalheads. Here we go lmao
Jack Diaz
the worst thing about metal autists is all the semantics arguments
Logan Reyes
Priest > Maiden
Elijah Hughes
You don't know anything about metal.
Cameron Torres
Is this bait?
Ian Martinez
This is correct
This is incorrect, and spoken by a true poser.
The glam metal bands were so because they combined an influence from the guitar sound of the metal of their day with the sound and swagger of GLAM ROCK or glitter rock, aka New York Dolls. Slade, The Sweet, etc, bands that had nothing to do with metal but influenced future 80's bands in the 70's just the same, who would become "glam metal".
Iron Maiden is NWOBHM, which predates glam metal, and was from an entirely different continent. NWOBHM was the bands influenced by Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Deep Purple who sped up the tempo and wore more crazy outfits to combat punk rock which had then taken over in the UK.
Jeremiah Kelly
I lump them into an earlier metal era along the likes of Van Halen, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, etc. It's all relatively similar though.
Nolan Davis
Their clothes doesn't change the music genre itself. It's heavy metal.
Adam Smith
They're British, GLAM is Gay Los Angeles Metal
Luke Turner
long hair and tight clothes isn't glam, that's been the rockstar standard since the 70s
Adrian Thomas
This is how all millennials look now.
Adrian Allen
Band has THE mascot
Wyatt Campbell
because of their horror mascot gimmick.
just like Ghost isn't considered generic pop rock because of their satanist gimmick
Jeremiah White
This so much. And Dio too. Even actual, actual faggot Rob is manlier than all maiden sissies
Aiden Lee
HELP
I came across a video with a whole music album on YouTube some months ago, but I didn't give it much notice until a friend of mine noticed having seen it as well. I don't remember the genre of music, however it was in some ex-Soviet language (most likely Russian desu) and featured as an album cover this vintage photo of a hotel in Slovakia from the 70s (attached). This is all I have to go on, please help me find this fucking thing I've been banging my head on my desk for days.
Gavin Scott
Dio was a manlet that needed to stand on his monitors just to be see by the audience.
Jonathan White

scroll through the videos on Harakiri Diat (a youtube channel)
Juan Anderson
No make-up and minimal if any hair spray.
Julian Turner
Iron Maiden is heavy metal, just like Judas Priest and Accept.
Liam Bell
Easton Cox
Because they're clearly not? Have you even listened to them? They're clearly straight up NWOBHM and their recent work is bordering prog metal.
Justin Rodriguez
There is literally nothing wrong with being a manlet
Nathaniel Lee
They really don't sound that different from bands like Twisted Sister
Jeremiah Rivera
>clearly not listening
Luis Rogers
Literally the dumbest thing i've read all day.
Matthew Smith
this is unironically kind of good, thanks user
Jeremiah Roberts
Hair metal copied their aesthetic from Iron Maiden, not the other way around. Iron Maiden came first, that's why.
Jaxson Gray
Spoken like a true manlet
Zachary Hernandez
cope
Luke Miller
cringepost
Sebastian Smith
it was funny because Slade originally were illiterate English thugs
and all those well-to-do American boys from Hollywood started copying them a decade later
Eli Baker
So fucking true
Every band has its own micro genre
It's like listening to a bunch of gay fetishists talking about which type of shit tastes the best...
No matter who wins, they are still eating shit
Gavin Smith
>Their clothes doesn't change the music genre itself. It's shit.
Fixed that for you
Cameron Taylor
Hear hear!
Nicholas Long
Most 70s hard rock/metal was made by illiterate Brits. I doubt Uriah Heep could spell their own names.
Dominic Garcia
I don't know if "well to do" is the right words to describe Motley Crue, exactly...
Sorry you're just ignorant to rock history.
>WAHHH WHY DO PEOPLE KNOW MORE THAN ME
If music isn't your forte, get a new hobby, don't get mad at the people who have done their homework, scrub ass. Git gud or gtfo
William Jackson
>Ha ha poo poo I'm clever
Wyatt Mitchell
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We got one.
You are correct, scatological humour is not clever or funny.
Perhaps it would be more apt to suggest that it is like listening to a group of prostitutes discussing which type of cock tastes better. Ultimately, they are still sucking cocks.
But hey...
