Trust me, I'm a metal fan and Meatloaf is NOT metal. I point and laugh at anyone who says they are, including a number of bands people in this forum classify as heavy metal. I think a few of you should actually look up what heavy metal is because a few bands people mentioned aren't even close.

Fair call - I wasn't saying they were - but it's good to get things clarified instead of trusting the "So Called" Experts! That would make an interesting topic of discussion - a definitive list of groups branded as Heavy Metal - but are not - would be an interesting list to look at! :phones:

W.A.S.P. and from OZ I loved Heaven w/ Alan Fryer IMO sounded like Bon Scott. And check out Dirty Tricks another unknown but Heavy group.
