Poison? Pantera? Really?
I guess my 80s Metal experience was much different from y'all's.
It involved guys like Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Jason Becker and an odd little record company called "Shrapnel Records"

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I always thought metal was pretty loosely defined. It seems to include bands from Pantera and Iron Maiden to Tool and Deftones. It damn sure isn't anything like Poison or Bon Jovi.
I struggle with the necessity of labeling sub-genres at all. Ever looked at the list of genres available in iTunes to label your music? Death Metal, Speed Metal, Prog-rock, Indy, Alternative. . . It's still rock and roll to me.

You all forget Anthrax and Megadeth.. But we used to call Metallica 'metal' back then as well.
Poison != real Metal.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Wow someone else who listens to Tony MacAlpine, sweet!
Don't forget Testament
