482.0. "Real Heavy.....man!" by SALEM::DACUNHA () Thu Feb 23 1989 15:34

    
    
    
              What happened to " Appetite for Destruction "????
    
              Was it even nominated???   or was it released late 87'??
    
              Maybe Tull should have won the "Progressive Celtic Metal"
              category???    
                                                            
              It might be a joke......"Don't Worry, Be Happy", winning...
    
                            Is there another song that crossed just
                            about EVERYONE'S lips.......NO
                            
                                       
              IMO,  Todays "pop" music scene runs the gamut from
              George Micheal to Anthrax and the categories should
              reflect ALL the different styles..........
    
                    Is there THAT MUCH difference between 
    
                    Hard Rock  and  Heavy Metal
    
              Is it a prerequisite to sound like Motorhead to be
              considered Heavy Metal??? AAAAAaaaaarrrrrgggg!!!!!!!
    
              Is it the band or the song that is categorized????
    
    
              Are Scorpions heavy metal or hard rock???
    
              How about Van Halen........pre-Haggar????
    
           or David Lee Roth and Co.???   
    
           or Led Zepplin
    
           or Deep Purple
                    
           or Sammy Haggar's older stuff
    
    
                      What makes Heavy Metal Heavy Metal?
    
           the drive behind the tune?,  marshall stacks on 10?
    
           A raspy screeming voice?, a basic R&R song where the Bass
           and drums carry the tune???   
    
    
                           I think I'm lost..........
