In Warrant's page of Spotify, it describes the band as pop-metal
When I first read this, I was like, what I'm even reading

Probably japanese flower metal

Had a qt PR gf's uncle who hipped me on Non Point. They weren't so bad.

I'm not a music guy which is why I asked.

If this genre doesn't exist I might have to make it and shit all over the music world.

you want fear and loathing in las vegas

>>72110324
you could check out the more recent deftones releases maybe? a pretty good synthesis of dream pop/shoegaze/generally "pop" songwriting and alternative metal. maybe less campy than you were expecting and definitely more subtle a prospect but it fits the bill pretty nice. chino is also a huge fan of duran duran and you can hear it a bit in his songwriting

i know you checked out glam metal but check out w.a.s.p if you haven't already

now get the fuck out of here......

Getting close.
>>72110462
Closer. Too much synth crap for my tastes. Remove all that and they'd pretty much be it.

Come on /mu/ help me out here.

I wasn't a fan of wasp and is what I was trying to avoid. Don't get me wrong I like a band to have energy but the lyrics I'm looking for would be delivered a little less aggressively.
Deftones have the right sound but the wrong lyrics.

Thanks for the recommendations though I'm getting closer.

you sure you aren't looking for weebshit?

There's post-hardcore that's got pop influence, like Brand New.

I'm sure. If it was in english I'd probably dig on it more.
Their sound is great and lyrical delivery is on point.

I'm just looking for something in english.

>>72110324
Guns n Roses. Accessible, trashy rock songs by extremely talented and proficient musicians.

>>72110324
Is stuff like Iron Maiden not close enough?

>>72110324
you mean melodic power metal?

>>72110692
Nah. It's the delivery of the lyrics that kills me. To me it's like they're just aggressive in their delivery where things like pop-punk try a smoother delivery than as opposed to bands like Poison, Def Leppard and Warrant. It might be the style of the age at that time I don't dig on.

Glam Metal just doesn't get me there.

>>72110747
Give A Day to Remember a shot. I think they're the closest to what you're describing.

>>72110581
if you're looking to tone down the aggression maybe just look into glam punk. the brand of weeb metal you're looking for in english probably doesn't work because the americas don't have the same affinity for cute schoolgirls/ladyboys being badass as japan does

it's also very mainstream there and the production value for a lot of it is high, whereas in the US or something it's too niche to capitalize on so no band will even try it

It just needs more metal.

That's one of their softer songs. Here's some other stuff:

>glam punk
I think this is as close as it gets.
D-Generation and The Heart Attacks start to drift out of the realm of 70's-80's sound.

Definitely something I'm looking into though.

They just need to shred some more.

Maybe power metal?

That's what I'm talking about. If only power metal would just sing about something other than dragons and battle.

The sound is perfect but the lyrics turn me off.


I didn't think this would be such a hard question.

>>72111210
What about this

>>72111210
How about songs about trees?

>>72111210
A majority of Galneryus' lyrics are in Japanese, so if they're singing about dragons and shit it should be easy to ignore.

Kamelot - The Black Halo
Also who the fuck cares about lyrics

The only problem I have is that it still lyrically has that 80's sound to it which I'm not a big fan of.

Other than that it's right what I'm looking for.

Thanks /mu/ take my rarest Hitler for your help you've given me a lot to look at.

I won't be back.

Gamma Ray is good if you want power metal but despise derivative Tolkien garbage.

He didn't nuke anything.

Some of Devin Townsend's stuff I'd describe as pop-metal
