7. Who said anything about metal?

I never really thought of Van Halen as heavy metal, sure, they had a few "metallic tendencies" but just didn't have the metal edge that somebody like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden had. Oh sure, back when I was in high school in the late 90s a lot of my friends thought they were metalheads and listend to Ratt, Motley Crue and Cinderella. The term I coined for at least the California stuff was "surf metal."

That term never caught on, but people did eventually settle on "hair metal" so that's the one I go with these days.
