Fave 80's metal song... toss-up betw. RATT "Round and round" and OZZY "Flying high Again"... or maybe "Bang your head" QRiot... "Number of the beast" Iron Maiden... yeesh this is tough. Pretty hard to top any Ozzy/Randy Rhoads jam played at high volume.

In 89 I was in a hair metal band in L.A. playing the strip, never got signed, but had one hell of a good time.

Nope, can't forget them either. Or sepultura and suicidal tendencies.

There was some really good Metal bands that came out in the 80's

I agree, they are pretty cool guys as well. After the show I saw them at they came out and B.S.ed with the fans. I talked to Bill and Brent for a few minutes.

Their new album Crack the Sky is due out this month, can't wait.

Ummm, I don't think Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day or White Zombie were around in the 80's. Now as for Krokus and Kik Axe I don't know cause I've never heard of them.

Metallica from the 80's was the best 80's metal band, there is no contest.

Now with that being said, here are the runners up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUDWLp1yIWw

and of course:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYRC4...eature=related

And whilst I am at it.....who remembers these guys?

Oooo trivia time, anyone here know what current prog metal band 2 of their former members are in?

Here is a hint before you do a search:

They are named after something most of use every day.

Oh I cant hold it in don't bother searching here is a classic clip of the "other" band they formed.
