Cheesy Metal

[MetDream]

I stole this idea from a PPM thread, but thought it was an interesting topic. What metal bands/songs do you consider the cheesiest??

Manowar has got to be in there....scary and for some reason just a little gay. Of course all those loser Norwegian death metal viking we burn church losers...chessey or simple retarded?

[superman321]

Would you count those congs like CUm on Feel the Noize and We're Not Gonna It as metal? If so, those are some of the cheesiest songs around. Ohh yeah, along with Youth Gone Wild.

I would agree with Man-O-War, & your other statement but I would adjust it a tad.
There are many great Norwegian / Scandanavian metal bands that follow the Viking and or "Satanic" paths, but not all of them take the shit seriously.
Bands like Gorgoroth, Dissection to name a few took some of their shit a little to far. But they should not be mixed up with bands like Amon Amarth, who pride themselves on their Icelandic//Viking heritage. And Other bands like Dimmu Borgir or Hypocrisy who may sing about satanic shit, but they don't act out on it.

But I would 100% agree that bands who do, are cheesy and lame. Dissection had some great music, but Jon NÖdveitd was fucked in the head. He was an accessory to the murder of a gay black man, served time in prison, only to fucking kill himself after releasing a new cd & dvd & doing some new touring.....that I don't get.

But I would have to say that Dragonforce is the newest, lamest thing to hit the shelves.

Of course KISS hit the cheese in the mid-eighties, so did Whitesnake from 87 and on...scary silly. Isn't The Darkness in there? I guess they try to be cheesey?

Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Bang Tango, L.A. Guns.

Although some of them are more Glam than Cheese, not theres really any difference.

Early Tisted Sister isn't cheese metal; songs like burn in hell and Under the blade are tops.

Here is the cover for one of the tapes I am converting.

The band is called Black Widow and they were a Brisbane metal band from the mid-80s.
Gotta love that cover and song titles...

Those Black Widow guys seem like a a bunch of bad King Diamond/Mercyful Fate clones.....dunno 'bout their music though....but just a thought anywayz

As for other cheesy bands...I second putting bands like: Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Bang Tango, L.A. Guns in that category.

I can't stand all that glam/sleaze crap.

Same goes for Manowar IMHO.....just a little over the top I'd say

You guys would have hated me back in the 80s. I was Ms. Total Cheese Glam Queen. I followed LA Guns, Warrant, Bang Tango and the likes around all the Hollywierd Clubs. Oh yeah and Faster Pussycat too.

Really......what was the turning-point

I mean it's a rather big step.....going from glam/sleaze cheesy stuff to a band that openly disliked bands such as that and talking about "Killing Poseurs" and such
