Enjoy these 10 clips of well-known metal musicians before they made it big. Our aim is to shed light on their musical origins. Most of the musicians on our list have left impressive legacies while others are still in the process of rocking the world. However, the fact is simple that most artists, except for some misanthropic black metallers, want to be recognized for their work.
#10 knew that he had achieved the success he had intended when Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee joined his band on drums for a rendition of “Girls, Girls, Girls” while Pamela Anderson twirled around an onstage stripper pole. We do not harbor any illusions about what it means to become a household name within the metal community. This dream materialized when Ace treated him to his private stash of softball-sized rocks of cocaine. As a child, #4 on our list fantasized about hiding in Ace Frehley’s bushes just to catch a glimpse of his hero. On the other hand, there are definitely headbangers whose resemble Nickelback’s ironic “Rockstar” in some respects.
