Speaking of the 80's "image" that Joseph mentioned - anyone who ridicules the 80's image needs to take a good look at the image of today. Those guys like Fred Durst and Eminem just look ridiculous in their ghetto-fabulous costumes jumping around and trying to get up in your face like they're all that. Woooooo . . . aren't they cool!!

Early Death Metal circa the mid 80's is way heavier than Linkin Park or Staind, as is a lot of modern metal.

I don't know anything about that Death Metal stuff, but I was refering to 80's metal like ACDC, Ozzie, etc. My point was that this type of music was called "The Devil's Music" by everyone but compared to the stuff today, it seems pretty easy going.
