There is more than one artist with this name, including an American glam metal band and a Canadian death/thrash metal band
1. Slaughter first formed in Las Vegas, NV. at the height of glam metal’s dominance over MTV and rock radio. Achieving popularity at the tail end of the movement, Slaughter’s day in the spotlight proved to be bright but fickle and brief. They have, however, continued to record and tour.
The band formed in 1988 with Mark Slaughter on vocals, Dana Strum as bassist, Tim Kelly on guitars and Blas Elias on drums. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum had previously played together in Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Their debut album Stick It To Ya saw 3 songs hit the Billboard Hot 100: “Fly To the Angels (#19)”, “Up All Night (#27)”, and “Spend My Life (#39)”.
Unlike many of the bands from the era who were suddenly phased out in the wake of the alternative movement, Slaughter remained intact and continued to produce new records. In 1992, the released their second album, titled The Wild Life. It had the Billboard Hot 100 hit “Real Love (#69)” and was certified platinum.
The band planned to dedicate themselves to their next album. However, in 1993 guitarist Tim Kelly was arrested for charges of drug trafficking, while bassist Dana Strum had a motorcycle accident that injured his playing hand. This delayed the recording of the album, but they kept working on it while Kelly was meeting with attorneys and Strum was rehabilitating. They finished the recording on February 1994 when Strum was completely rehabilitated.

i love how metalheads have superior judgement over everything, if the original slaughter wanted the name badly they would of got some lawyer to copyright it, clearly they didnt give a shit, so stop whinging over who's better, its pointless no one will take in consideration from what some dick said on last.fm haha

Doesn't matter how you slice it. The Canadian Slaughter are just more important to metal in general. I'd like to see that pic with both up as the default though, it would solve a lot, except for the pseudo-elitist dickbags who think denouncing a paltry glam band somehow makes them tr00. Glam sucks, and the glam Slaughter are twats for stealing the name, but it is what it is. Just deal with it.

Ah, the wonders of the internet. Poking fun at how someone thinks they're clever for changing the name of a genre magically results in someone thinking they know everything about your life, thinking they know what problems you have, and other random childish insults. Ironically, the crying backlash is started from someone saying something personal to some glam fan who was personally attacking people in the first place. Oh, and Lolly? Fame =/= skill or quality. By your logic, rap bands would be better than the original Slaughter, simply because they're more famous.

@ ancltsagaree1: Oh you want get personal - whats next? crying and post some fake pics or quotes? Go to puke your hate to another tranny like you. I think you've got obsessive Personality Disorder. You couldn't get it up. Maybe sex change surgery is quite good solution to your problems. so stop bitching around! and by the way.. Thrash "second h" is only a nice try to hide the real sense of this crap - sorry won't say music :-) So keep talkin' shit about me, you make me famous!

@TastyChicks: Trash? Where is the trash here? Unless you're dyslexic, or think you're clever, it's called "Thrash", and it's a hell of a lot better than the shit that is called glam.

To hell with the glam band, I'm here for the Thrash band, whose name those twats in the glam band stole with their petty lawyers.

Lolly, or the glam Slaughter can fuck off and pick another name. being famous doesn't give you a right to steal an established band's name, lawyers or not.
