It was the era of tiger-stiped guitars and spikey Aquanet helmets. Oh, and skin-tight suits and falsetto singing. And while there were some songs worth having on your Walkman, all that ‘style’ was pretty tough to get past at times.
Some bands went for ‘hair’. Like big-haired predecessors like Led Zeppelin and Boston, bands like Poison, Britney Foxx and the Vinnie Vincent Invasion carried truckloads of hair-spray that was as valuable as any guitar, amp or stomp-box. And while a lot of the overly-haired bands, frankly, flat-out sucked (sorry, but Poison just flat-out couldn’t write their way out of a wet song paper bag 90% of the time), you have to give them props for showmanship. And actually, there was some danger involved as shown by KISS’ Gene Simmons in the previous decade. In KISS’s amazing show, Gene actually set his hair-sprayed mane ablaze during his fire-breathing act. In all fairness, Vinnie Vincent’s huge hair gave us singer, Mark Slaughter, who went on to front his own self-named band and cranked out some amazing vocals on killer songs like ‘Fly to the Angels’ and ‘Up All Night (Sleep All Day)’.
But there was much more to 80′s metal. Hair was a big deal, sure, but ‘scare’ was a big calling-card for bands like early Motley Crue, WASP and the mighty GWAR. Taking cues from the aforementioned KISS and Alice Cooper nearly a decade earlier, these bands were about leather, blood, saw-blades and generally girly songwriting (except for GWAR, who is awesome). I’ve pretty much hated every version of Motley Crue because they never really amounted to much more than Van Halen Lite, but they did craft the cool ‘Kickstart My Heart’. WASP probably was a decent attempt at scary shock-rock, but wrote and played like a 7th grade garage band.
Any great live photo from the 80′s has about 3.5 tons of lingerie on the stage, hanging from microphones or tied around the lead singer’s neck like a bandanna. To their credit, Poison managed to combined the hair and the underwear (and gobs of lip-gloss), and even Crue (was their much difference between these two bands by 1986?) had the formula down. Let’s face it though, Van Halen gave Victoria’s Secret a run for their money on inventory from about 1982 on. And while Twisted Sister sort of went for hair, scare and…uh…Dee Snider, there just wasn’t much by way of songwriting to turn that band into a powerhouse. Underwear band slike Dokken and Ratt had a couple cool songs too, and would have been better if the awesome guitar players (George Lynch and Warren DeMartini, respectively) would have kicked their singers to the curb and hooked up with, well, Mark Slaughter!
In the end, what really mattered was the song. Yeah, you could have a great show in 80′s metal. Hair, scare and underwear were great components, but unless you could write phenomenal tunes like Def Leppard, Metallica or Van Halen (and having a guitar-god like Eddie Van Halen didn’t hurt either), you were a wannbe. Plain and simple. It’s not like there weren’t great songs in the 80′s, but just like every other decade, 90% of the acts in the spotlight didn’t focus on great songs, or didn’t have what it took to produce them in the first place. The very best of 80′s metal would have to include the aforementioned Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Def Leppard and Metallica. While there were others and there was a hit here or there, most other bands were trying to hard (and failing) to be David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen or Rob Halford.
A lesson for the ages: The song makes or breaks your place in 80′s metal history!

Question by wmchicki317: Calculate the final temperature of the metal and water mixture, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings.?
A 5.00 g sample of aluminum pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.89 J/°C·g) and a 10.00 g sample of iron pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.45 J/°C·g) are heated to 100.0°C. The mixture of hot iron and aluminum is then dropped into 92.9 g of water at 20.3°C. Calculate the final temperature of the metal and water mixture, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings.
Best answer:
Answer by civil_av8r I’ll let you plug in the numbers…
m1 = 5 g
m2 = 10 g
m3 = 92.9 g
c1 = 0.89 J/(c*g)
c2 = 0.45 J/(c*g)
c3 = I don’t know, should be in your book.
T1i = T2i = 100 C
T3i = 20.3
I am assuming that pellets will loose heat
sum of the Q changes = 0
0 = -m1*c1*(Tf – T1i) – m2*c2*(Tf-T2i) + m3*c3*(Tf-T3i)
solve for Tf

The one-armed God of War – the bravest of all – ‘Tyr’. Tyr are a band originating from the Faroe Islands, touring in countries such as Iceland, Denmark, Russia, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Finland, Russia, Germany, and of course, the Faroe Islands. Their album ‘Eric the Red’ went on to become the best sold album in the Faroe Islands and earned them recognition from Australian record company, ‘Napalm Records’.
Â
Almost every song is based on Faroese or Nordic lore, generally through the genre of Folk Metal. In 2006, Tyr started work on the album ‘Ragnarok’, - a personal favourite of mine – according to the Tyr website, “Ragnarok emerges as a masterpiece within the true Viking Metal genre!”.

I run a general chat forum focused mainly on metal music called http://www.morbidskies.com – The biggest feature of my site is my exlcusive interviews with big name bands such as Tyr, Valient Thorr and Alestorm.
For the 2009 St. Patrick’s Day parade in Washington, DC, one of the marching bands was from the Randolph-Macon Academy, a military high school in Front Royal, Virginia. The band did a pretty good job playing John Philip Sousa’s “The Washington Post,” one of his most-famous songs. At the same time the band was marching and playing, a film crew was shooting scenes from an upcoming film called “Fairplay.” In the middle of the march, you can see the film crew in the street, shooting at the talent on the far sidewalk. Although you can see the film crew well, the talent is much harder to spot in this video. I did not recognize anyone among the actors, although my wife said that a young blonde woman looked familiar.

Can you imagine life without music? It’s very difficult to imagine no doubt, but one thing is certain, life would have been dull and boring had it not been for music. In fact you can never come across a person who says that they have never hummed a tune in their life or that they do not love music. Well everyone cannot become great singer, but we all exercise our vocals in the privacy of our bathrooms. If anyone says that they do not sing in the shower, chances are likely that are they are lying. Heavy metal music is a genre of music that evolved in the late 60s and early 70s. Heavy metal music is also referred to as metal music, and this music reached the zenith of its popularity in the 80s and many subgenres of music evolved from heavy metal music. The sounds associated with heavy metal music consisted of heavy guitar and drum centered sound with highly amplified distortion of fast guitar.
Devoted fans of heavy metal music are referred to as headbangers and metalheads world wide. Heavy metal music is characterized by loud distorted guitar sounds, dense drum and bass sound, emphatic rhythm combined with vigorous vocals. A typical heavy metal music band consists of a bassist, a rhythm guitarist, a drummer, a lead guitarist and a lead singer or vocalist. The vocalist may or may not play an instrument. Today heavy metal music has a variety of styles namely power metal; progressive metal and symphonic metal and most of the present day bands often make sure of the electronic keyboard. The heavy volume used in heavy metal music is a vital element of attraction towards the music for fans, especially for live performances. Most popular theme for songs of heavy metal music is violence, fantasy, sex and the occult.
Physical gestures are a vital part of heavy metal music and this is very much evident during live performances. Moshing, headbanging, hand gestures like devil horns, stage diving, air guitar and crowd surfing are very popular among singers and fans of heavy metal music. If you are thinking that heavy metal music is just a form of entertainment, then think again. Researchers have recently found out that heavy metal music can be a great source of comfort to teenage children. The study has found out that teenagers who regularly listen to heavy metal music cope better with pressures as compared to their peers. So now if you find out that your teenage child is hooked to heavy metal music you can just simply rest easy.
Heavy metal music has several subgenres. Underground metal is one of the broad categories of heavy metal music and there are five categories under this namely: death metal, trash metal, black metal, doom metal, gothic metal, power metal and trash metal. The sound that was developed by trash musicians was mush faster and aggressive then the original heavy metal music. Some of the popular heavy metal musicians and bands are Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Poison, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne and Deff Leppard.
Hope next week I’ll be able to catch you!
