History of Metal 1988- Are the ”BIG 4” Finally growing up? Were the Hair Bands Fizzling out? Who Really stole the MONSTERS OF ROCK Stadium Tour?

from Metal Mayhem ROC: Your go to source for everything metal. · host Vernomatic Productions

Hello Metal Heads - Hope your Summer is fun and enjoyable. On this week’s episode we dissect the metal landscape in 1988. This is a pivotal year in the 80s metal explosion as it picks up where 1987 left off. The Hair Nation scene is getting oversaturated with copy cat bands and less than Steller releases from the big wigs.( Pun Intended) The BIG 4 of Thrash all release new full length albums and are really maturing into Super stardom levels. The battle of Pasadena continues as David Lee Roth has his SKYSCRAPER release and VAN HAGAR, err, VAN HALEN puts out OU812. Track By Track observations for both. All this and more as we revisit 1988 and take a deep dive into the HISTORY OF METAL. Visit the new website and join the Metal mayhem ROC community.
