Heavy Metal took a back seat and plenty of pop acts sprouted...
Heavy metal didn't take a back seat in the '80s. It was actually metal's best decade:
In 1980 alone, there were four major milestones:
1) Ozzy Osbourne released his debut album, "Blizzard of Ozz" which launched his very successful solo career.
2) His old band Black Sabbath also released thier first album w/ former Rainbow/Elf singer Ronnie James Dio, "Heaven and Hell." It turned out to be a critical success.
3) Iron Maiden also released their self-titled debut album. After two albums, the band kick out Paul Di'Anno and replace him with former Samson singer Bruce Dickinson. Maiden would release seven critically acclaimed albums throughout the '80s and play to sold out shows throughout the world.
4) Judas Priest released "British Steel" which was their breakthrough album in the US.
Hair metal was huge in the '80s! It was staple fare on MTV throughout the decade. In the early '80s, Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Ratt, Quiet Riot and Motley Crue ruled the TV airwaves.
In the mid to late '80s, more hair metal bands dominated MTV and the Billboard charts: Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Cinderella, Winger, Warrant, Skid Row and Guns 'N Roses would surface.
There were also a lot of metal bands who didn't cater to the MTV audience and were firmly underground (at the time) who had their creative peak during the '80s and it was in this decade that they released their most critically-acclaimed albums. I'm talking about bands like: METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, BATHORY, DEATH, TESTAMENT, SEPULTURA, MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND, OVERKILL among others.
So, I don't think that heavy metal took a back seat in the '80s. In fact, metal was more mainstream in the '80s because of the hair metal bands.

I agree with what someone mentioned a few pages back that the '80s was the best era for music. New wave is obviously a good reason. What's widely considered as the golden age of heavy metal occured in the '80s. Heck, I even like the pop music of the '80s than any other decade.

SMART. Haven't tried GLOBE although after hearing of horror stories about the poor customer service and hidden charges, I think I'll stick with Smart.

The '80s, wow memories of my childhood! I was a gradeschooler all throughout this decade. I graduated elementary in 1990. Here'w what I remember about this decade:
I was grade school in San Beda, early to mid-80s, downfall na ng Marcos-era kaya ang daming rally sa Mendiola. Kaya marami kaming half day classes, early dismissal and suspended classes due to the rallies. However when Cory took over, the rallies at Mendiola didn't end. Remember the Mendiola massacre?
Basketball: The Celtics and Lakers ruled the NBA. Jordan was nothing more than a scoring machine who couldn't win at this point in his career. Sa PBA naman, Toyota and Crispa were the kings during the early part of the decade. Mid-80s, Tanduay and Great Taste (remember Ricky Brown?) na. Late-80s, Ginebra and Purefoods na. Sikat pa na basketball shoes noon, Converse (si Bird and Magic kasi ang endorsers nila) at Grosby and Kaypee sa local basketball.
Yung Coke Litro noon naalala ko 5 pesos lang. Yung baon kong 20 pesos okay nang pang lunch and recess. Pamasahe sa PUJ, 75 cents lang.
I only started listening seriously to music in 1988. NU 107 yung unang exposure ko. Sadly, hindi ko na naabutan ang XB 102. Power 105 pa yung isang new wave station although 99.5 RT played new wave in the late '80s also. My favorite bands were the Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order. Sa local, the Dawn opened the door for bands to enter the mainstream music scene which was then dominated by solo artists like Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera. Identity Crisis is also noteworthy as another new wave/goth band who got signed by a major label.
I was too young to go party during this decade so I can't comment on the gimmick scene back then.
More '80s memories to come!

here's a Glam trivia question for you guys.
What did DAD stand for?
Let's see who of you remembers this group.
Disneyland After Dark. So what prize do I get?

If anyone can modify or add to this history of metal in the Philippines, please feel free to post. But I'd prefer something earlier than what was already mentioned by Sadistic Impaler.
After reading it, Im still in disbelief that local metal bands didn't start sprouting out till the late '80s. Siguro naman may mga banda naman nung early '80s na inspired ng Sabbath, Maiden o Motorhead. Baka may info pa kayo jan, share naman.

I'm trying to trace the roots and history of metal in the Philippines. I guess I was inspired by the very detailed and highly informative Pinoy punk/hardcore history lesson made by Ninjacol in the hardcore/punk thread.
If any of you guys read that, you'd notice that '80s underground music was dominated by hardcore/punk rock bands and no mention at all of any metal bands. It was only during the tail end of the '80s/early '90s that metal reared its head in the underground scene. By this time, hardcore bands had started incorporating metal into their music and slowly morphing themselves into metal bands. By this time, metal had began to supplant hardcore/punk as the music of choice in the underground scene.
Below is a brief history of metal in the perspective of a poster, lifted from filipinometal.com:

Music: mainly heavy metal music but a lot of old school hardcore/punk, new wave, alternative, industrial and electronica as well.
NBA: My all-time favorite teams - the Celtics and the Magic.
Playing the NBA Live series in the pc - since NBA Live 95 pa lang 'to sa SNES nilalaro ko na ito.
Porn - Damn, I admit I'm a porn afficionado.

I like shoes a lot. I have a good mix of leather and rubber shoes.
For rubber shoes, I like Nike, Adidas and And1.
For leather, I like GBX and Rockport.
Just today, I bought a great pair of GH Bass shoes at Gateway. 50% off siya so from the original 5,200 price I got it for 2,600! Before I bought it, I also window shopped at the Florsheim store. Damn, ang ganda ng shoes nila. Ganda din ng presyo, between 6k to 7k. Ouch! Next time na lang!

@izzecoh: Gaano ba katagal ma-pay off ang loan? Nag-loan kasi ako back in July, 2003. Mga 15k na-loan ko. Two years later and it's already near November and I'm still paying for it according to my most recent payslip. I thought 2 years lang siya at tapos na. Gaano ba katagal ba talaga?

I don't like revivals or 'cover songs' which we called it back in the day. Recording artists nowadays revive songs just to get a 'hit song'. Compare that to a band like Metallica who made an album of covers just to pay tribute to their favorite bands.
These talentless hacks shouldn't even be called artists. What's the art in making a revival? They're pure and simple 'interpreters' who can't write a single note nor make a sensible lyric. I really have no respect for singers who don't write their own songs.
Record companies have cashed in on the revival mania because it's easier to make a hit out of an old hit song than to make a hit of a new song. They will simply pay for the rights to the song to the original artist. Yung original artist naman, aside from the rights will collect royalties if ever the songs does well again. Ok lang sa kanya kasi pera na yang lumalapit sa kanya, bakit pa tatanggihan?
Some of the revivals I loathe so much:
ALL SAINTS cover of the Chili Peppers' Under the Bridge
PUFF DADDY making LED ZEPPELIN's Kashmir into "Comw With Me" ba yun?

Mas malupit pa rin yung Old School Metal.
Mid to late 80's and early to mid 90's.
Brutal, melodic, fast, monumental and great.
Kelan kaya magkakaroon ng mga ganung klaseng mga banda ulit....
Burn!!!!! :evil:
Hindi pa naman nawawala yung mga banda sa era na yun a. Naglalabas pa rin ng malupit na album ang KREATOR, EXODUS, DESTRUCTION at naglabas din recently ang HELLOWEEN ng Keeper of the 7 Keys Part III. Baka ikaw lang ang nawala?
Pero I agree na walang sinabi ang mga banda sa current generation na to sa mga banda na lumabas nung '80s and early '90s.

Galing lang ako sa lugar na to yesterday. Checked in at Queensland. Ayos nga, 299php for 5 hrs. Makakarami kayo talaga ng chicks mo dito! May jacuzzi sana kaso mukhang madumi kaya di na namin sinubukan. Medyo dyahe lang dito kasi isang garage lang per dalawang kuwarto kaya pag naunahan ka, sa driveway mo lang maipaparada ang auto mo. Walang privacy yun, paano kung makita ng kakilala mo yung auto mo?

@Chito8686: A B-Movie is what you call a cheaply-produced movie featuring 2nd or 3rd rate actors which doesn't even get to see daylight in the US movie theaters and are directly made available on video.
-
Though there was no direct reference to the Philippines, I saw this giant-alligator B-movie called "Blood Surf" on Star Movies. It had Philippine actors in it including Maureen Larrazabal (who had a make-out scene with one of the American actors which was cut, anyone see if she exposed her boobies in this one) and Susan Africa among others.
Any Metalheads Here In Mtc?

Sorry Miss Perriwinkle, but most of the bands you mentioned aren't even metal. Maybe Pantera lang ang talagang metal. Yung SOAD passable na yung metal elements nila. Pero yung iba na binanggit mo, hindi metal. Gusto mag-recommend ako sayo ng mga bands na tottong metal na mejo madali pang sakyan ng occasional listeners like you.
