Well I didn`t name it.I`m not against genres i`m just asking a valid question.If metal has been around since the early 70s why can nobody name any metal bands from then.

Lord knows what they were thinking, but let me put it to you this way. If those were the new guys, how come they didn't do a ****ing thing like Zeppelin or Deep Purple. Wheres the mind-numbing experimentation (thats a bad thing), or the bloated double-albums. Wheres the pomposity. I don't know why they called it that, why is grunge grunge? New Wave? Why is it New Wave, was there an old wave?

Really? I could have sworn Iron Maiden said main two influences were Deep Purple & Jethro Tull at the time. You don`t think that Iron Maiden making 15 minute long songs and concept albums was influenced by that at all? Diamond Head , Influenced by the likes of Zeppelin , Purple & Sabbath , Def Leppard were originally influenced by Judas Priest, Queen , UFO & Thin Lizzy, I could go on.
Why is it New Wave? well i`d hazard a guess that the old wave was punk given that pretty much all new wave bands were influenced by punk in some way.
I find it ironic that a Metallica fan would dismiss the movement so easily when Lars Ulrich put out a compilation album of his favourite new wave of british heavy metal tracks on it`s 10th anniversary saying if it wasn`t for that Metallica wouldn`t exist.
