It really just depends on what kind of show it is. If you're at a classical performance, you sit there and listen. If there's a beat to it, you're dancing. If it’s rock or metal, well, you already know how that goes. Some shows just demand silence... anything goes, really. 😁

Next up on my list of all-time greats—or more accurately, my absolute favorites.

Tempestov vocals. 🙏

Their musicianship has always been top-tier, though I honestly think they struggle to pin down their actual genre. 🤷

Dominator isn't bad either, especially that track Heaven Has Hung in Black—it’s easily their second best ballad after The Idol. By the way, Michelle Long73, I didn't say they were glam, just that they have a certain glam feel, especially on those first three albums.

I agree on the ballad. 👏 As for the other part—we totally misunderstood each other. I wasn't talking about what you said specifically; I was just speaking generally since so many people categorize them as glam. 🙂 Sure, some tracks have that glam vibe. Just like you said, mostly in the beginning.

Well, we'll definitely show up if you include the Wasp-like fans in that poll... 😁

They’re right at the top of my all-time favorites list. Such a unique sound, and that vocals? Top tier, even if some people try to debate it. I wouldn't call them Glam metal at all; to me, they are pure Heavy metal. They basically only got stuck with that "Glam Metal" label because of how they looked, but honestly, plenty of Thrash metal bands looked just as flashy, so who cares. Plus, coming out of that L.A. scene alongside bands like Mötley Crüe probably played a part in it. 🤷

Without a doubt, my favorite album is The Last Command.

They played a show in Chicago a few years back, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it. I'm still holding out hope they'll keep their word and tour the States again. 😢

I’m constantly listening to music on my phone through headphones. My taste is pretty much identical to yours—heavy bass, guitars, high notes. Depending on where I am, I adjust the volume accordingly. If I'm just chilling at home, I keep it low. If I'm catching the bus or walking down a busy street, I obviously have to crank it up a bit.

Every once in a while, I take a break for about a week to give my ears a rest. When I finally jump back in, my usual volume level feels way too loud at first because I've gotten used to the quiet. It usually takes a day or two for my ears to adjust to the intensity again.

I can't say for sure how healthy or unhealthy it is, but the fact remains that anything in excess is bad for you. The only advice I can offer is to use speakers when you're home—just keep them at a reasonable level so you can hear it without bothering anyone else. Or, if you use headphones, keep them low, almost like the music is just playing in the background. 🤷
