Gayest metal song

[Jeff Lebowski]

So many choices.

How about any song by a metal band where they slow it down and try to be mellow? Like Beth by Kiss, for example.

How about anything by Rush? That lead singer has to be gay with a voice like that.

To answer your question, I've never heard #s 2 and 3.

#s 2 and 3 are Def Leppard songs.

Ok - a hair band is a band that is more style than substance; more makeup than manliness; more about the money than the music. Examples: Def Leppard, Poison, Night Ranger, etc. Hair bands are like a subset of metal bands - "glam metal" as it were.

A metal band is more about being loud and fast. Their "music" is centered around drums and lots of loud fast guitars. But metal (called heavy metal in my day) has been around a lot longer. Alice Cooper, KISS, Ozzy, etc. are considered heavy metal. Metalicca would be considered a metal band.

2. When love and hate collide
3. Bringing On The Heartbreak
4. Don't know what you got until it's gone
5. I'll be there for you

Geez, Padrino, for a hair metal hater, you sure know alot of songs.

What about Love Bites? Or is Def Leppard not a metal band? (I get confused on the musical semantics.)

Love bites is definitely not gay. Any song that could get a reasonbly attractive girl to make out with a zitty 14 y.o. dork with braces (me), is not gay. That song absolutely turned Utah girls crazy back in 87.

Knowing what we know now about the man, I'd say the gayest metal song has to be Turbo Lover by Judas Priest.

Perfect song for braced teenagers to make out to. I'm sure there was a decent amount of unintentional biting and subsequent bleeding.

BTW, nice work on scoring that chick back in '87! You're the man!

Well, if I just posted that I hated the music without ever knowing it, I'd come across as a music bigot.

Know thine enemy, ya know?

Really? It was totally Firehouse in 1992. Not that, you know, I know anything about that kind of thing.

sorry, not buying it. I know you have a Monster Ballads CD around there somewhere. With the wife and kids gone, I bet you're listening to it now.

No way. With the wife and kids gone, it's been nothing but my daughter's A-teens.
