there's a cable show here, VH1 and VH1 classic. All month has been Metal Month. An observation was made on said program of late that I had never really thought about but is true with my buying taste in the aformentioned 80's. If it had a Ballad, it was'nt "true" metal LOLOLOLOL.
Had a point, the "formula" at the time was, put out first single, put out second single "the ballad", sit back and count money :(
