Life Sucks
and then you die
Glam still has a bigger following. Glam was mainstream, and death metal will always be underground. A hate glam with a passion.

I think it's the complete opposite of that actually. Glam is commercial music and commercial music tends to die out once the next big thing comes along. Death metal is underground and has a cult following with people that really love that kind of music so it would be ignorant to say that they would just randomly move away from it.

I think this is wrong. Death Metal is made up of diehard fans, and diehard fans do not quit after a few years.

This is an absolutely retarded idea for a thread, and should be closed just by virtue of its stupidity.

yeah and glam metal doesn't do better than death metal. not since the genre's fall from grace in the early 90s.

Poison still probably makes a ton of money doing rehashes of their hits and selling them to all the old fans.

Death metal or glam?
A cool looking combination of the two

I really do not want to see a 40 year old man in makeup. If I wanted to see that I'd go cruising for trannies on The South Side of Youngstown (not that I ever would)

Well overall yes but as Glam was a scene like Emo, there are die hard fans but also those that do it because its 'trendy' and you get more women if you have hair over one eye. Yeh right. Because glam has been my favourite genre of music for 11 years ever since my brother bought me Extreme - Extreme, and that will continue probably for my life.

not all hair metal is bad, in fact a lot of the older acts still have a career today (Motley Crue, Skid Row) in contrast to the bandwagon-jumping fluff that was signed during the late 80s major label feeding frenzy (i.e., Warrant, Nelson)

Yeh that was the thing with Hair metal, it had the huge acts then like you said the 'now you see them now you dont bands.' But the one hit wonders still managed to produce a quality album(s)
The label reminds me of Roadrunner to be honest, find the new trendy metal and sign every band you can from it.

Roadrunner is probably the best example of this. It used to be a huge death metal label and now they're signing every worthless metalcore act they can get their hands on.

It's sad to think Roadrunner released Effigy of the Forgotten and now they are releasing Slipknot.
