Sub-genre of metal that peaked in the 1980s - bands with big hair. They were frequently the smiling-fool kind of thing, so an alternate nickname was "teeth metal". Basically the metal that was the illegitimate child of glam and original heavy metal.
Van Halen, Poison, Motley Crue, Slade, other stuff.
Trying to make Doom WADs again for the first time for a specialized purpose. I miss using wintex from my teenage years. I guess I need to read some SLADE3 tutorials to see why Doom is crashing with "Bad V_DrawPatch"
I guess maybe I should try Boom as well?
I know GZDoom exists but something about it rubs me wrong. Scripting and free look feels wrong for Doom. Go play Duke Nukem if you want scripting

Slade was at #1 in the U.K. with this Christmas jingle, on this day in 1973.
“Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you’ve got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best?
Then she’s up and rock-‘n’-rolling with the rest”
"So, here it is merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
Look to the future now, it's only just begun"
