  • Am I crazy or do these dudes look like Municipal Waste?

    Edit: same hometown and same record label

    Edit 2: ok 2 of these dudes are from Municipal Waste, I’m not crazy. Never heard of BAT until today but it isn’t the exact same band apparently. Always like what I heard from Municipal Waste, so I’ll have to dig into this band to check out more of their stuff

    Hair metal/glam metal is tricky because a lot of it has to do with image, as well as sound, with the evolution stemming from earlier stuff like New York Dolls.

    I wouldn’t call Nickelback particularly heavy.

    And yeah, grunge is heavy. Nirvana is fairly light for grunge (save some of the stuff on Bleach where you have the Melvins’ drummer and a lot of heavier stuff going on). I wouldn’t call it metal, but I’d say it’s heavy.

    Edit: I’ll also say that I think some of it has to do with the time. A lot of what Zeppelin was doing influenced later metal bands. Maybe they weren’t as heavy as Sabbath, but just as influential
