I am of the OPINION that if a band had not released an album by 1982-83 (with very very few exceptions) I would be hard pressed to consider them a Classic Metal Band as the movement was well under way by that point.  Most new bands from that point on were riding the wave of what started in the mid to late '70's.

Subjective is the word & that's the point I was trying to make yesterday morning--it's up to each individual to say what's metal ---- what's hard rock & as for classic --what might be classic for one person might not be classic for another
And then again ---you have so many subdivisions of classic metal--death metal is one for example it's mind boggling 
I don't like Jethro Tull--well some of his songs I do like --but  he won the Heavy Metal award at one of the music awards shows & he beat out  Metallica--Now  I don't feel Jethro Tull is heavy metal but the awards show did
That just goes to show that every one has their own opinion 
Hell--my older brother  loves Gordon Lightfoot--The Little River Band & Air Supply--& he told me that those bands were hard rock--well I beg to differ they're more soft rock--but it just goes to show that people can make up their minds & when you have people who are passionate about the music then you have squabbles

True, I'm listening to their song Headhunter at the mo, this song is heavy metal to me, but like you said, as a whole probably more on the cusp of HM in general. Music is so subjective isn't it LOL!

Becks --I would consider them  just below the grain of heavy metal
that list that Hotrockin--posted for us of the heavy metal bands --well alot of them I just didn't agree with but I think Krokus is more of a hard rock band  but close enough to heavy metal that one could cosider them to be HM 
I just wish they would've put out more music

Hey, I have a question about this list for anyone could answer LOL! Should Krokus be on this list? Does anyone here consider them heavy metal? I do, but more so as another of those bands that are on the edge of heavy metal, rather than fully, if that makes sense LMAO!

I listened to them when I was a teenager & was going through my rebellion stage--I never smoked or did drugs or drank --my rebellion consisted of playing rock--metal music on 10--that was the highest my record player would go !!
My parents were devout christians & only listened to country--bluegrass & gospel so off to the record store I'd go to find the albums I knew would get to them--& I think WASP & KISS got to them most--my poor parents !!

Admittedly I haven't heard all of their stuff, but what I have heard I like! I have to listen on youtube, very hard to find their albums here! I've looked, to no avail.

WASP is cool! I think in some cases, the classic refers to the type of heavy metal - cos as we know, heavy metal has so many sub categories now! And classic would refer to just good old head banging no frills heavy metal that kicks your arse! LOL!

I apologize to all in this thread--I didn't mean to *open up a can of whoopass *--so to speak--but I am very passionate about my music
It's just that what one may think of a band may differ so much from another's opinion--to say that this is the Classic Heavy Metal Thread---what one fan may think is classic may not what  be everyone else is thinking
I think WASP is a classic heavy metal band but others might not think that--are they even classic ??  I feel they are--they're not as big as Motorhead or Judas Priest or Black Sabbath but in my opinion they are a classic heavy metal band
So my classic heavy metal band of the day is WASP ( I wish I could post pics !)
If somone wants to disagree with me then let's do it in a friendly banter & not all the name calling & such

PEACE--METAL LOVE & HEAVY METAL HUGS TO YOU ALL
[Becks] Monday, July 06, 2009 12:40:36 AM 
I know what you mean Pip, music in general is such a subjective thing - one band someone may think is awful, another person may love. We see it everyday on the top 40 charts alone. Don't feel like you should leave the board because of this. Some people just have very forceful opinions and personalities - it happens in real life too. I'm sorry this has upset you so much *hugs*

Pip,

I for one value peoples opinions and everyone is entitled to like whatever they want to like. I'm not judging anyone for liking Winger or any other band. I have a few bands that I like that I know people would not like. I was just saying in a hopefully friendly way, that I don't think it deserves the term "classic" and shouldn't be put into that category. Heavy metal is a term used all too loosely and I think and the lines are very blurred. I think somehow we all started arguing about something totally different than the original topic? It's a shame. I hope we can still chat.  ?

Yes. And even if it did classify Winger as a HM band,we all know that they are not.I've heard MTV classify "Poison" as a "heavy metal" band and we all know that they are not.

Motorhead really isn't a "heavy metal" band but they are so close with thier NWOBHM(New Wave Of British Heavy Metal)riffs that dip in and out of heavy metal riffs once in a while......

 

They still are not technically "heavy metal" but they belong in this thread and you want to know why?????  Because "I" master of all tall big and small says its ok to do so!  LMFAO!!! HA HA HA!!!

PIP, 
this was a WIKPEDIA list of what THEY considered CLASSIC HEAVY METAL bands. NO, I do not agree with all of them. But if you actually READ my post, it says that EVEN WIKPEDIA does NOT classify Winger as and I repeat the title of this thread CLASSIC HEAVY METAL. That was the point of all of this!

LOL! Yeah,its all good Head Banger.....I'm nowhere upset as you are well aware of,but just goes to show the level of people's intelligence.

And what I am talking about is that Craig and who ever wants to post a band like Winger in this thread they are allowed to do so because 

this is an open forum to anybody. But I will be here to knock thier puffer in the dirt with an onslaught of whatever it takes to let them know

how lame they really are......that is my right! lol!  And its one I will take them up on every time. If they want to expose themselves then I will

be here to critisize them for doing so......whats wrong with that?  Nothing....("chucke chuckle chuckle!")LOL!

JD, your posting towards someone who is incapable of basic understanding.  DF was right, you and craig are both passionate members, but youw got an outside influence here who is just a piece of dogshit.  scrape it off your shoe and move on.
