Because some people like them and buy their albums, go see them in concert etc.
Brayden Hill
right music at the right time, with the ability to still appeal widely and recruit new fans
Angel Ross
Can't deny the guys are talented. Plus, right marketing, appeal to young people, etc.

Because way back when I was 13, I went to my first real rock concert and it was Iron Maiden's World Slavery Tour (height of spectacle rock shows). It was fucking insane: the band was tight and louder than hell, the lights kept moving and formed a massive ankh at one point, there were huge explosions, Eddie came out (12 ft high) and fought with the band, and finally the giant pharaoh-head of Eddie split open and a giant fire-breathing Eddie mummy came out. Also, Twisted Sister was the opening act. It was incredible.

Because they appeal to the sort of people who go on this board.
Men who are fat, autistic, balding, aging rapidly, hopelessly single, and so on. And there are millions of cunts like that.
I hate them as a band but you've got to admit they've found a niche.
Adrian Peterson
111, the number of the bitch.
Dylan Reyes
Because they're fucking awesome.
Chase Campbell
Fuck you I'm not autistic.

I actually laughed out loud when I read that. Fucking love Twisted fucking Sister.
That sounds like an amazing gig!

What horseshit. Guys who grew up on 80s metal got married, had kids, got their kids into it, and have plenty of hair.
It was great. They came through a few years later (for Seventh Son) with Guns n' Roses as the opening act, just before their first full album came out. '80s concerts were great: Dio, Metallica, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Queensryche, Anthrax, Alice Cooper, Van Halen, Venom, Black Sabbath, Rush, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Motorhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest...

444, the number of the whore
Austin Parker
80's black sabbath SUCKS!
only first 4 albums are good
Levi Reed
No, see that doesn't make sense because 444 didn't appear in that post ID. Way to newfag, newfag.
John Roberts
Because of Ozzy. /thread
Andrew Peterson
but it rhymes
Camden Campbell

Sabbath with Dio was different but fantastic. Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules are so much better than Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die (the last two Ozzy-Sabbath albums before Dio replaced him).
Noah Long
...what?

Blaze had his moments dude
Asher Campbell
I would have loved to be able to go to this show. Sounds like a great time
Evan Thomas
because triple axe
Dylan Ward
They were one of the first metal bands and theyve been around since the 70s. You cant beat the melodies, nobody compares to bruce even in his old age, and steven Harris is tits. As far as right time, they were in it before it was the right time but yeah 80s metal scene helped

Brayden Nelson
He probably thinks Avenged Sevenfold is da heaviest shit ever
