\"Motley<\/a>\u00a0M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce<\/em>, another metal band suffering from diaeresis.\u00a0 I really did escalate into what was known then as Heavy Metal. <\/em>It didn’t have anything to do with the magazine, movie or soundtrack that I loved so much.<\/p>\n

M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce <\/em>was a little faster and more edgy than Def Leppard. I was quietly building up a collection of metal records. Another thing thatM\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce brought to the table was stuff made of leather with spikes on it.\u00a0 Looking back it was all so juvenile but at the time, there was nothing more serious.\u00a0 The guitars sounded like power tools systematically dismantling the barriers of destruction. Looking at some of these earlier videos, it certainly leaves the impression that these guys were KISS fans when they were younger.<\/p>\n

I think by the time I got to M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, I knew that I was into heavy metal music and began to seek it out. While I still continued to enjoy other types of music, Heavy Metal was where I was beginning to spend most of my time.<\/p>\n

I still find it amusing that the heavy metal of the 1980’s seems so tame compared to some of the stuff I would hear in the 90’s and beyond.<\/p>\n
