I don't give a sh** about roadrunner one way or another. I love bls, though. Metalmayhem, you're right in that bls is a lot like other heavy METAL bands (not hard rock, there is a music theory difference). But there is one major difference: BLS guitars (at least the stuff Zakk writes for himself) are a lot better written than most other bands of that style. The riffs are better, and Zakk can write and play a f*** load better than most of the rest. He doesn't write a difficult piece all the time, but then again, he writes by what he likes, not what is the most difficult (as opposed to most good death metal, who write a sh** load of difficult stuff if they've got the skill). As for KF, get over it, a lot of good metal had people with teased hair. Metal is a conforming lifestyle just like every other lifestyle. Period, end of story. So what the hell, metal did one thing then said that the look was not metal, in fact un-metal, ten years later. Common thing in any form of fashion tradition. Get over it.
