Why I Stayed Away From Heavy Metal

Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me Def Leppard also has a heavy sound, but strictly speaking, they aren't heavy metal. They were the kings dominating the Billboard charts during metal's golden age. I was obsessed with this song back in the day. When I was in middle school, I stopped by a record store after school. The owner insisted I buy an Iron Maiden record that day. I bought it without really thinking and on my way home, some scary older guys in the neighborhood snatched it from me. It was my chance to get into metal, but I missed out. It's a secret that I started avoiding them because they were so intimidating. Heavy metal had many bands with intimidating names like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Mayhem, and Cannibal Corpse. Besides the really noisy ones, I listened to all the commercially famous bands. From the softer ones like Poison and Mötley Crüe, to Guns N' Roses and Skid Row. I even listened to the slightly heavier ones like Cinderella.
