True metal, I rember see that on Metal Massacre Records, Death to False metal, so I guess Metal Massacre must of been a true metal sampler. Bob Muldowney of Kick Ass Monthly based his magazine on true metal. WITH A MAJOR RABID HATRED FOR THE FALSE WIMPY STUFFS. Manowar had that theme, Death to False Metal, "Into Glory Ride" Megaforce Records MRI-0169-666-1 and vintage - era Metallica (82-86) were champions of true metal.
Real Metal, yeah that is a Snakepit Magazine coined phrase. So if you want to add a wikipedia page go ahead. I see why not. But when you say real or true, I am think in terms of AUTHENTIC.
Traditional, true or real, I do not care as long the band is not sloppy, I hate when bands 4th band rehersal practice is the debut record.
The thing metal fans have to watch out for is rockers trying to add metal beats to increase the sales, and also watch out for metal bands trying to write pop songs, to get radio play.
At least nowadays the corporate " m e t a l " types dress like characters from prison (orange jumpsuits the cops must love this! no?), a horror movie, sci-fi, herion chic or a homeless shelter, back during my high school days 1982-1986. The corporate " m e t a l " types, stumpled out of the beauty supply shop, Victoria's Secret and Fredricks of Hollywood. The false metal role models change from Joan Crawford to GI JOE after a nuclear holocaust.
Traditional/ true/ real metal was started by Black Sabbath, and it was just a matter of time, before rock bands decided to water-down/ dumb-down the power, RIFFS, rhythms, and vibes. And make some new rock and roll hybirds. For ROCK n ROLL, this was GREAT, for the HEAVY METAL movement, not so much.
