I hear that Metallica is the safest band to take through an airport because they haven’t set off a metal detector since 1989.

I would swear that the definition of “metal” has changed. There was a point in time Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were considered metal. Nowadays it seems that “metal” music is required to sound like your head is submerged in the oil sump of a diesel engine.

And you know what? I like metal heads, they tend to be cool folk who…appreciate their senses differently than I do somehow.

Neither of those bands were ever considered metal. Hard rock. Yes. metal, no

Hair metal, but they were light lightest and off even hair metal.

Bon jovi is metal like aluminum foil is metal.
