I like Writeallica
No one ever said pretending to be something we're not would be easy....
I somehow never quite got there. I'm not even remembering its vital attributes, come to think of it.
Did “Round and Round” by Ratt qualify? I recall really liking that song.
Similar time frame (I think), something called “Fly To Angels” (I think) by Slaughter.
Motley Crue's (sp?) “Without You” comes to mind....
Again, no idea if any of that fits whatever definition of “metal”.
