Four Heavy Metal Bands That Made An Impression In The 1990s

Rage Against The Machine... A classic heavy metal band that through there music helped influence fans of the 90s!

When I was younger I came to realize something that I found to be rather interesting, that being the fact that it seemed like every decade women's fashions seemed to change, and what was popular in fashion at that time, (something that everyone woman was fighting to get for themselves,) would go in the next decade to being in the pile that went in the garbage or even going so far as to become the most embarrassing piece of filth that the mere thought of looking at it in the next decade was something intolerable...

Well growing up in a house that was primarily women, I was curious about why this was, so I asked my sister about this, and she could never really give me a solid answer, and well as time went on, I have begun to notice that this seems to be a trend with a lot of things...

A great example of this being music! In the 80s an extremely popular style of music was stuff like: 'Synthpop', in the 90s it was, 'Heavy Metal', in the first decade of the new millennium it seemed to be, 'Rap/Hip Hop'... And with the 90s becoming more and more of a distant memory, I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the Heavy Metal Bands that really made an impression on the 1990s!

And so at number 4: Rage Against The Machine.

Rage Against The Machine was definitely a band that left a lasting impression in the 90s!

Rage Against The Machine... Man if you grew up when they were still together, then you were lucky! What I mean by this, is that there type of music was not just intense, and fun, but the music that they played... Well you could say that this band essentially helped to define music in the 90s... And for some people when they talk about music in the 90s still mention, 'Rage' when talking about it!

At number 3: Metallica.

Now Metallica... Metallica started out in the 80s, but the truth is, is things really started to change in the 90s for this group, and being a fan, and having talked to to other fans (not those that are only in it for Metallica's music. type of fans,) a lot of them have mentioned Metallica as being at their height in the 90s!

At number 2: Nirvana.

Nirvana practically invented the, 'Grunge scene' back in the early 90s!

Nirvana... Sadly, with the death of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana disbanded, but let's be honest here guys, when you think of the 90s and when, 'grunge' was still popular, Nirvana has to be the group that comes to mind!

At number 1: White Zombie.

White Zombie... A classic Heavy Metal Band of the 90s!

Before Rob Zombie went solo, and before he started his film career he was part of a truly awesome horrific metal band, 'White Zombie', and for the type of music that they played... Well they definitely left a lasting impression in the 90s that has carried on through Rob Zombie's work in his solo career!

Five Songs From The 80s & 90s That Helped Define Five GreatHorror/Sci-fi Movies

One of the things I have noticed in the new millennium which I have wondered about, is that there seems (definitely in modern horror movies, and to a strong extent with Science Fiction movies,) a noticeable absences of mainstream bands making music that one could say defines the movies in music terms!

What do I mean for this? Well of course there is always composed music, like the composed music that John Williams (Jaws) has done for a lot of the biggest Science Fiction films of all time, in this case what I mean is, music such as what Rob Zombie (Halloween) has done for his movies... And Rob Zombie has done a great with this!

In the case of Rob Zombie, he has always done some truly kick ass songs for (I can't say all, because I haven't seen all of them,) but almost all of his movies!
