In heavy metal:
Gamma Ray is cheesey.
Slayer is not cheesey.
What about Def Leppard and Bon Jovi - are they just "not that heavy" or would you mark them as cheezy too? I don't think they are cheezy, but many people do - because they are melodic, heard on commercial radio and many girls like them.
What about Scorpions or Europe?
...Just trying to make sure we are on the same page...
Def Leppard & Bon Jovi are more hard rock IMHO, and yes they are cheesey in a way.
I mean, cheesey IMHO is not a bad thing.
We all like some kind of cheese in our lives, it makes us smile, even if we do feel guilty.
I enjoy bad (or as my wife says dad) type jokes, though I never admit this.
Cheesey in metal for me is songs about love, about being being strong and riding out to some imagined battle... DragonForce pretty much take the cake for this.
But I still like it, I enjoy all facets of metal as I do trance.
I have to admit that even though seeing Behemoth (Poland) live blew me away sonically, and getting a high five from Nergal was kind cool, it was damn cheesey seeing them on stage with faces painted, leather armour n' spikes... shouting between songs about the evils of religion and the bible being a book of lies, tearing pages out of it etc. etc. pure cheese, but apart from the fact that my surgery wound was causing me agony, the cheese added so much fun...
please continue hehe
I hate you, you hate me, we are all so hap hap happy!
