Heavy metal hair band music. What made it popular? What was it -- musically -- about Def Leppard, Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Warrant, Cinderella, etc. that made it hyper attractive and super popular for its time? What were you listening
for, exactly?

I've been learning to play metal guitar for the last couple months, and my guitar teacher asked me to bring some tabs with (preferably relatively easy) lead parts in A minor pentatonic scale. Any recommendations?

Hopefully this won't be too obscure...
There was a pretty popular Japanese rock band that had a song which was basically a rocked out heavy metal version of Dies Irae from Verdi's requiem. I think the CD is from the early 90's or so. What's the name of the band?
(and no, it's not from the Battle Royale soundtrack. That was a purely orchestral version)

I just discovered
Sabbatum, an album of Black Sabbath covers-- in latin. I've been an
Apocalyptica fan for years as well. Anyone know of other albums of metal songs covered in an unusual fashion?
