Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

Damn! The only one I got wrong was Cinderella. I can't believe I got Whitesnake (considering they never had the same lineup twice) and missed Cinderella.
Score = 0
Me and a few friends did this same type of quiz as a drinking game while watching VH1 Classic. I vomited later.
Score = 0
The one posted is quite easy. Cinderella can be recognized with Eric Brittingham and Tom Keifer's combo locks. The dead giveaway though is Fred Coury's curly poofs.
A challenge would be to figure out if anyone could recognize Sleez Beez, Love/Hate, or The Bulletboys.
Geez, I need to lay off the Metal Mania on VH1 Classic and my hair metal high school memories.
Score = 0
I got 10 of 11 right!
I'm the number one superfan!
Score = 0
This quiz brought the metalheads at my studio out of the woodwork. I never knew how many there were..... Hilarious, thanx.
Score = 0
klostermans final four blog on espn.com was excellent throughout the weekend. If you're a college bball fan I'd recommend reading it.
Score = 0
9 out of 11! For a former Debbie Gibson fan I should not have done that well.
Score = 0
9/11. And I hate myself for it.
Score = 0
That was absurdly easy. Would have gotten them all even if it were not multiple choice...

Here he goes again...

11/11 because I am old.
Now I want to blow chunks.
Score = 0
Where did you headbangers find an eleventh picture? The photo in this Stereogum post is included in the quiz. The quiz has eleven pages, but the first one is a cover page, if you will.
I got 8 or 9 out of 10, but I guessed on almost all of them.
They could've put in a trick question by including a current picture of the Donnas.
Score = 0
I'm ashamed to say I got them all right...easily. I'm going to go listen to some Grandaddy now....
Score = 0
About 5 years ago I sold a computer to Tom Keifer of Cinderella. He came into my Gateway store wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt of his own band.
Ironically, Cinderella was the only picture I didn't get correct.
Score = 0
I got them all, but I too am old. Skid Row threw me for a bit because they had 'Bas sitting on the ground instead of in the center of the photo on the chair.
Score = 0
Dude, either the quiz was too easy or I know too much about metal. I didn't even have MTV as a kid. How and why do I know these? And why do I know who the Bulletboys and Sleez Beez are? Oh well, gotta get back to my Meliah Rage CD....
Score = 0
Dudez - there were only ten (of which I got nine).
DON'T KNOW WHATCHA GOT!!!!
till it's gone...
Score = 0
I got them all right and I'm goddamn proud of it.
Score = 0
i got 3 right
im mad i got that many right.
Score = 0
11 out of a 11 baby!
they tried throwing you off with the KISS shirt. C'mon we all know that there's always 4 people in KISS.
I feel so sad.
Score = 0
11 out of 11 because I watch a lot of VH1.
Score = 0
0 out of 10. I'm so fucking Indie...
Score = 0
I can't believe that I didn't get one right. Actually, I can. My 1980s musical knowledge doesn't extend beyond The Smiths... that probably explains it.
Score = 0
11/11.
I was born of metal and most of my clues were based upon types of chest hair.
Also, I was a little disappointed not to see Savatage.
People need to stop pretending the Gutter Ballet never happened because it did. And it happened hard. I danced it.
Score = 0
i got a perfect score...i'm not quite sure if i should be proud of that or not. i think all those years of watching Behind The Music has payed off.
Score = 0
Yeah, like many others...I got 11 because I'm old.
::hangs head::
Score = 0
haha yay I got them all right!!!! 11/11......I love 80s hair metal!!!
