Question:

What exactly is proto-metal?

My understanding of it is that its metal that's not really metal but heavily influenced metal bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple

Answer:

I love it. The only reason why people dislike it is because it is not a generally accepted form of music. So in other words they hate it because everybody else hates it. If you notice, everyone who hates Hair Metal always says that they like Motley Crue. I don't see what makes Motley Crue any different from any other hair bands.They like them because they see that their fellow idiots accept them. If Warrant was the accepted band, then people would love them and call Motley Crue gay. People are just afraid to admit they like it because they will not be tr00 if they do. BQ: Ratt. Dangerous But Worth The Risk.
Not me! Although...there is SOME exceptions for Motley Crue and Cinderella. The rest all suck. BQ: Live Wire by Motley Crue
I like some of it. Guns N Roses is my favorite hair metal band.
Love it! Loved it then and still love it now! Love so many of these bands - White Lion, Extreme, Stryper, Kix, Skid Row, Dokken, Cinderella, etc. BQ: Favorite Hair Metal Band: White Lion BQ2: Favorite Song: In My Dreams - Dokken
I love hair metal! My favorite hair metal band would be Def Leppard, but my favorite hair metal song would be Is This Love? by Whitesnake.
