I haven’t had the chance to watch Metal Mania on VH1 Classic in a while. I happened to be up, so thought I would watch and comment (and be depressed my music is playing on a classic channel 
Quiet Riot: “Cum on feel the Noize”
One of my favorite Quiet Riot (okay, Slade) songs. Fun to see a young Rudy Sarzo…what ever happened to Carlos Cavazo?? (answer: http://www.myspace.com/officialcarloscavazo)
Warrant: “Cherry Pie”
Less Warrant, more Bobbie Brown, please!!
Europe: “The Final Countdown”
I hate that I sorta like it, and hate is because it helped the downfall of metal in the late 80′s, early 90′s. It was hard to take anyone serious with cheesy-metal everywhere….
Tesla: “Signs”
Eh, Catchy cover song…another acoustic song I can’t play. It has taken me years to realize I don’t really like Tesla. I tried. They are from Sacramento, which is less than 2 hours from me.
Twisted Sister: “You can’t Stop Rock and Roll”
Best. Song. Period. Early TS…very cool! I love TS…it kills me that I probably won’t ever get to see them live (they are based out of New York and rarely tour the west).
An open message to Dee Snyder: I got it. The whole thing; the costume, the make up, the music. You guys rocked my face off. I wish people had seen past the glam and really listened to the music. Julie and I bow to your band’s musicianship and showmanship. Rock on TS!!! Signed, Ed (loyal SMF)
Whitesnake: “Fool for your Loving’”
Pose, play, big hair, pose, eyeliner, pose, pose, pose…a good band eventually became the blueprint for pose bands. Rudy Sarzo makes another appearance, posing more than playing. Steve Vai couldn’t look more uncomfortable or out of place playing in the pose band.
White Lion: Wait
ohforcryingoutloud…does the pain ever stop??
Winger: Easy Come, Easy Go (live…well, pretend live)
Screw it…I’m done. VH1c sucks balls.
Seriously VH1, Iron Maiden, Testament, King Diamond, and TONS of other great bands made videos too? MUST you only play the crappiest, cheesiest, poser band videos??
