Who from that time still looks the same, people change every 10 years, change is inevitable. I look nothing now like I did in my early teens, I was rowdy AF. Even my friends today said I was a rebellious guy at the time and still am, but eventually time will catch up to all of us.

Poser

True! lol If you survived the 80s, then you're pretty badass. I stayed away from drugs. But have plenty of funny drunk stories to tell!

@@AdrienneS1970 Nothing wrong with weed though.

@@mrmaxaxl Never said there was. I just didn’t smoke it.

Agreed, I was once one of those punk kids and it was a great time. Waaaay before the internet and cell phone age, people socialized, partied and made memories. It’s almost embarrassing in ways but I would go back to that time any day if the week if I could.

You're saying he had more to say after they turned the cameras off? He clearly says, "no actually I went into country pretty much."

@@Slechy_Lesh what kind of country?

LOL, that would have made the video to be honest! I would have laughed my ass off.

+claude zach I know right? I mean, who the fuck is Socrates?

Lol fuk Socrates

PUNK IS JUNK...HEAVY METAL RULES!!!

​​@@heavymetalzombie4754 PUNKS NOT DEAD!!! SAY TO ME THAT PUNKS DEAD I DARE YA YOU VLOODY C*NT *HITS HIM WITH A BEER BOTTLE*

Yep steel panther

Also here from steel panther. After listening to their interview on Talk Is Jericho.

Hell yeah

yup, read it on wiki

Guilty

"Poser" was a term used by thrashers towards "Metal Heads" who only liked the lighter more commercial mainstream bands like Dokken,Bon Jovi,Def Lepard, even Crue & WASP. It was an elitist underground term for people into thrash and death metal or anything viewed as "True Metal". The thrash stuff was just creeping into the mainstream a this point in time. There's nothing poser about NWOBHM as it was very influential on the thrash bands. Zebraman and and most of the kids in that video probably never heard the term poser or were aware of the thrash underground.

the whole album is named after him!

Steel Panther Rocks!!!!!

Steel panther is a Genius

Hey there's nothing wrong with commitment!

I've always liked other stuff. This guy stopped listening to metal.

Yeah. But he wouldn't a been a poser.

Vlado Rukavina It's punk shit Zebraman mentioned

@@dannyrevolver9855 It's thrash, the song is called "No Posers Allowed" by the band Thrash or Die.

Me too. See you there. :-)

Do you like Electric Wizard, Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet?

/w\SSSLLLAAAAYYEYEERRGGGHHH/w\

Same, but 40.

Asta los juesos.....🏴‍☠️

God, that's breathtakingly sad.

There's nothing wrong with expanding and liking many types of music and having many different interest. But I was, am and always will be metal to my core

Sixx1989 You poser LOL!

I was OBSESSED with Motley Crue until "Smokin In The Boys Room" came out. LOL

@@heavymetalzombie4754 LOL They went complete glam on that album didn't they?

@@AdrienneS1970 ....AND THAT GOD- AWFUL VIDEO TOO!!!

SexJunkle As if most metal fans weren't? :-)

SexJunkle Oh puhleeze. The punk influence on Metallica is undeniable, and they *themselves* acknowledge it.

SexJunkle hey you pretend intellectual david byrne has asbergers what punk bands in the 80s do you even know about to make such a ridiculous blanket statement? name 2 bands that arent sex pistols or black flag?, you sir are a jerkoff

Good to know a thread I started a while back is still going! All that said, the KZfaq poster and these directors should leave the guy alone. We all say foolish things when we are teenagers.

+SexJunkle It's been over a year since your last post and I don't give a fuck, you're still wrong. Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer all loved punk music and attended punk shows. You can look at old photos of them in the early 80s wearing punk band shirts. Tom from Slayer is even in Suicidal Tendencies' music video for Institutionalized lol. Clueless doesn't even begin to describe your misguided wrongness.

Terrible analogy. He's what I call a floater. People that have a phase or are casual about it, not really digging into it. Metal is a very deep thing, beyond images of skulls, fire, demons or whatever. It's meant for die-hards. And as campy as it can be at times, it's our lifeblood, and we take it very seriously, deep down. We are devout. Sure, life happens. You get married, have kids, try to get a decent job, face new challenges, that's life. But in the longrun, if you were ever a metalhead, then you will ALWAYS be one. If you're not now, then you weren't then.

Hmpz is right on.

If you did coke in the 80s and didn't quit your no longer with vus lol

@@hmpz36911 not a poser. People grow and change

ikr

Coffee&Conspiracy he was definitely a poser

@NaughtyGawd Oh' my God, you are stupid as fuck. Calling him names because he grew out of that 80's Metal phase while as he entered adulthood. Grow up already.

country is fkn dire.

Bro take the L

I feel like he isn’t much of a music guy

yes. and so are you

The word "Poser" is such an idiotic insult.

No he's a poser because he stopped listening to metal and only jumped on a bandwagon cause it was cool at the time.

+J.J. I totally agree. pure common Sense.

The end tag says it all. "If you're not into Metal now, then you never were!"

Hate to tell you, but if you were not even born yet back then then you're a poser too LOL!

Didn't he call Madonna a dick lol 😆

***** Actually, yeah. I see older guys trying to "look metal" at shows and it just looks...well...sad.

*****, I agree that people should wear whatever they want.. They have a right to look ridiculous if they want to. Aging men in heavy metal t-shirts look silly and immature.

ThrashIsBack100 Not passionless...I just grew up. Metal is still my favorite music after more than 30 years, but I'm not caught up in all the external trappings of it. Most old "metalheads" still caught up in the look and the "underground lifestyle" of it all think they're coming off as metal as Steve Harris or Rob Halford, but in actuality, they come off more like Wayne's World or Beavis & Butthead. LOL trust me, I am NOT about to sell myself short and remain stuck in a suspended state of adolescence in order to prove my "metaldom" to caricatures like yourself.

You just replied with a comment that I actually somewhat agree with. If you're that age and your caught up in being as metal AS POSSIBLE, you have some maturing to do, i mean im 18 and i dont try to be "METAL AS FUCKK DOOOD UR NOT METAL" that ended when i was 15 , But i still think that wearing shirts of bands you love and having long hair, going to shows, having a room full of records is NOT immature bud, its just who people end up being. Some people are 50 + and have rooms full of hockey stuff, they play hockey on weekends, and watch every game, You arent calling them immature are ya? The immature people would be saying "IM GONNA BE GRETZKY!" at age 45..... But youre first comment was fucking unreasonable, and put down adults as a whole, and just came across as jealous. Like i said, you did clear it up and make it more agreeable. But you first made it sound like anyone above the age 40 cannot wear band shirts (and other things) and be passionate about metal.

ThrashIsBack100 Anyone of any age can do pretty much whatever they want...even if it looks ridiculous. Some people are conscious enough to know when their "metal look" no longer works for them (if it ever did), and others keep trying to look like they did back in high school. The latter gets harder to pull off successfully as one ages, and is indicative of either stunted personal growth, fear of change, or both. That said, I can now understand why James, Lars and other metal band guys cut their hair when they got older; some people just don't feel that way anymore. It has nothing to do with being passionless. People have every right to evolve as they personally see fit, but videos such as this one are an example of how the metal community is full of some of the most closed-minded and immature people on earth. .

Trendy? are you serious? they're a bunch of rednecks drinking beer out the back of pickups. That was not trendy in the 80s. Trendy in 86 was some crappy soul music. Luther vandross or some other boring stuff.

​@@uv77mc85 You sound like a total clown.

The fact that he just gave it up and denied it is what makes him a poser. Being false to one's self. Seems like he was just into it as part of a fad. Again which makes him a poser.

There's nothing wrong with expanding and liking many types of music and having many different interest. But I was, am and always will be metal to my core

I am 39 now and I still do. I am waiting the new Carcass album.

Poser

I agree with your post Darkless,but I think they were referring to him being a poser back then.

Gay

@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821 Yet he seemed to have been all about it back then.

Why is it wrong for someone who gets older to continue to enjoy the things they did when they were younger? When you look at bands like Iron Maiden do you consider them pathetic? Dio was in his seventies up on stage saying metal rules and wearing concert shirts. So why can't the fans be the same? They don't all have to run around and act like idiots. I know a guy who is 79 that was a true Metalhead and everybody loved him. He would sit in the back and just enjoy the shows. Others similarly old taking photographs and sharing stories. Never heard anyone make fun of them. Only somebody immature that truly never grew up and probably opposer themselves would think that way. I wasn't an idiot as a teenager screaming and acting crazy. Would get into the pit and bang my head with my friends and I still have a lot of friends now that will do the same thing. A couple are lawyers. One has the same long hair he did even. Medical professions , FBI, CIA summer still in bands playing out and touring even . many of my friends went on to high respectable positions that still wear their band shirts, go to concerts and some may head bang, in some major stand back I'm watch. Whatever they feel. I know a few that will still get in the pit and a couple of them make sure to remove the fake posers from the pit. The ones that don't follow the rules and go in there just trying to get into fist fights. They were taken out then and these so-called old men can still take out those young fake posers. The end tag says it all. "If you're not into Metal now, then you never were!"

It's so immature some people never grow up.

He did attack punk

Those types were never metal. And metal isn't something you move on from. It's something you live for. It's about finding your voice and expressing it. Maybe you don't understand because you're not passionate about it. For me, it was never about the party element, it was always about something deeper than that, and at the risk of sounding pretentious, it's sacred.

Move on??? NEVER!!!!!! lol

Loser normal mentality
