    1980's metal band list...

    So I have this stupid game going on with my friend (who is still a die hard metal fan) for a while now. It started with simple bands like Poison or Motley Crue and sometimes goes into obscurity with bands like Crimson Glory, Cacophony and Racer X.

    The idea was to have the last word. He calls me out of the blue, says a band name we have yet named and if I don't come up with one back, I owe him a beer next time we go out.

    If I slam him back with a name, he must buy unless he can turn it back to me with another band... and so on.

    I'm now out of bands. Can you help? If you know of any metal bands, please list them here. The band must be signed and have at least ONE album out. It can also be a solo artist that was famous at that time like Stu Hamm or Richie Kotzen

                          Damn those svengali guys could really rock and party hard.
                          Some of the backstage and room parties Iwent to after their bar shows were excellent.
                          the tour bus parties were a blast too.

                                        I met them in Winnipeg and went on tour bus with them to Calgray, Edmonton and to Van and then back to the Peg. Was some of the best partying that I ever did.
