Once they dropped the Kamen Rider title and directly used a new title for metal heroes, the rating and popularity dropped sharply even though their input in the shows were very substantial.
Metal hero shows like Dimensional warrior Spielban, B-fighter Kabuto are very expensive to produce yet the end result was disastrous.
as far as metal heroes are concerned, the 80s metal heroes IMO are way much better than the 90s metal heroes....if they're going to make a new one today(officially), i guess they should refer more to the 80s formula rather than the 90s.....

Metal isn't just music to you, it's a religion to be followed obsessively - and the temple at which you worship is that of Power Metal.
Power metal is an escape from the bullshit of daily life, and at a concert, you can enter that fantasy as you relive the adventures of your power metal heroes.

 Black Sabbath Online: Tony Iommi Interview - Mar 1994
Metal heroes Black Sabbath are still going strong after more than two decades and drawing a new generation of euphoric, stage-diving fans.
For all his metal history, Iommi considers himself a fan of everything from Frank Sinatra to the hardest of rock (although none of "that techno stuff"), as long it is played well.
He survived a mid-'80s creative crisis that had him questioning the direction of his music, ironically at the height of that decade's metal explosion, to finally lead the band toward its third decade.

 GameSpot Forums - Game Boy Advance - Is Gunstar Super Heroes like Metal slug Advance??
Gunstar Super Heroes is like Metal Slug in the sense that it is a very challenging extremely fast paced 2D shoot em' up/platformer with some of the (if not the best) graphics on the GBA.
Where you have ammo for your advanced weapons in Metal Slug, in GSH your weapons and melee attacks cannot be changed and are all balanced, (the super shot for each weapon uses ammo in the form of your bonus bar).
The comedy in metal slug is a bit better than that in Gunstar Heroes, but the action in Gunstar just feels a lot better tuned for a system other than Neo Geo.

Before long, our clan of do-gooders was back on their feet and ready to rough up the natives so as to find out the lair of this dragon, for there was much treasure to be had.
Of course, the Heroes have no such use for treasure and are beyond base greed, but there was an evil to be quenched, and such a noble enterprise does have some expenses.

 No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Equinox
In 1989 thrash was all the rage, and certainly "Auf Weidersehen" is a thrash metal assault that would have any denim and leather clad headbanger pumping his fist and moshing around in circles.
The lyrics unfortunately seem to be a bit dark and cliché, although the vocals are sung in such a way that the actual words are not as important as the intensity of the delivery.
Overall, as I said, Equinox are one of the hidden gems of the second wave of thrash metal.

Critics and fans have been praising the band for more than 15 years, as much for their unbridled fury on record as their unflinching passion in the live setting.
“No Heroes” finds Converge at the top of their game, clasping tightly to the “Jane Doe” intensity with a touch of the spit and polish found on “You Fail Me.” Vocalist Jacob Bannon is so unapproachably furious that it seems an entire swat team would fail to subdue him.

 Converge: No Heroes - PopMatters Music Review
It’s a tired joke, but it couldn’t be more apt when describing the predicament faced by any metal or hardcore band that is saddled with the burden of following up an earth-shattering, genre-defining album.
Produced, engineered, and mixed entirely by Ballou, the first time he’s ever done so for Converge, No Heroes is a marked change from the claustrophobic You Fail Me, the abrasion rivaling the work of Steve Albini, but the guitar tones just warm and spacious enough to draw listeners in more.
Yet another astonishing album by a band seemingly incapable of recording a dud, it’s the finest metal/hardcore crossover album of 2006, one that refuses to be lumped in any category, save for one, that it’s nothing more than classic Converge.
