1980’s Metal bands

[Retired Bum]

Many years ago my BIL obtained tickets to the ice capades, both to make my wife very happy and to aggravate me! Well, it back-fired! That year, one of the hottest women on ice was skating, and the choreography was done to all Led Zeppelin music!!!

Metal has nothing to do with the devil.
I'm a 61 year old metal head. It doesn't mean I/we worship the devil or dont attend church...

Other than the Scandinavian Death metal bands which S. Dunn's show interviewed and they were devil worshipers that wanted to go back to the Nordic gods, the vast majority of various bands antics/appearances was/were "sensationalistic commercial marketing" ploys.

And now I know the Soundtracks they play in Hell. Get to Church boys, eternity is a L-O-N-G time to have to listen to this music.

Cool. I personally think the Soundtrack you will here in Hell is the singular view/opinion/news on closed loop, that so many prefer today. I think the reason for the popularity of such is it allows one to walk around feeling they are right and the others are wrong. Even if it is the Devils Music listening to it would not send you to Hell, but the direction of one's Moral compass will direct them to Hell, IMO.

Problem today is a lot of folks HAVE no moral compass.

More than likely he was in his mom's basement, because he was too shy and awkward to get a date with a real girl on Saturday nights!

Surprised I didn’t see Pink Floyd , Rush, or Emerson Lake and Palmer on anyone’s list. While not my all-time favorites they are certainly worthy of mention.

Because they are not considered metal bands.

Those are pretty much progressive rock bands, with Rush closer to rock. But Pink Floyd and ELP are for sure progressive rock banks - much in the vein of Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Alan Parsons Project, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Camel, etc.
