Metal Debates!

Nu Metal sucks! And there is no such thing as "christian" metal

 

all metal sucks

 

plastic rpocks... so does the rubber.

 

Now playing : Primordial - Empire Falls

Can't say i've ever gotten into black metal myself, ALAS!

I was once given a Countess album.. and man.. its like sex in the mouth

 

Hey Grasshopper..where abouts in the sunshine state? And so as not to derail the thread....i can appreciate metal, but it's not something i go out of my way to listen to

 

Toowoomba you?

Metal is a hard genre to get into.
I used to hate it myself Now im a die hard metal head

 

What's the point in taking the time to write lyrics which will then be delivered with terrible diction rendering them indecipherable? It seems a wasted effort. (I do like metal btw lol)

 

Not all lyrics are as such.

Theres alot of beautiful metal songs

 

Central Queenslad - but i looove Toowoomba

 

And heaps of my friends are into metal, but i just can't do it. Screamo and emo is about as far as i go lol.

 

How can you love Toowoomba?

Toowoomba sucks.


Why does Metal and Rock have so many tragic deaths

 

When your from CQ (specifically smelly, industrial Gladstone) you looove everywhere else that doesn't thrive on mining and pollution.

 

I believe you are the one who sucks

 

I agree

there is a metal style for all! metal is so diverse... although some part dont deserve to be called metal but alas I am too lazy to correct everyone when they wrongly categorize something of metal

aslo... screamo sucks it is the bastard spawn of old school hardcore punk which in turn is a weird spawn... to me (opinion based on the sound and well assumption) of some kind of cross-breeding between punk and metal... personally I do like oldschool hardcore, before the straight edge stuff started coming in

 

Awww I love Nu-Metal. I used to love metal too but I just stopped listening to it. I think it's partly to do with all these music channels churning out really shit bands I don't think metal is what it used to be anymore. The most metal I get these days is Machine head.

 

Mmm metal is constantly morphing and distorting... sub sub sub genres are showing up left, right and centre. Fair to say that we won't have any more "Metallica type bands" showing up any time soon.

A genre I want to get into but having a hard time tracking is funeral metal

 

im a die hard metal fan as well but i had the same question as you. i was once told that the singer's voice acts more as an instrument in death metal. find harmony in the voice by hearing it as part of the orchestra and forget the words. the words come after you understand the tone of the song

:cheers2:

favorite bands ?

right now im bumpin Nile, Electric Wizard, Between the Buried and Me, Dethklok, Dimmu Borgir, and Lamb of God. just got the Lamb of God Killadelpia DVD. shit rocks.

 

Thats the key

Dethklok are sick... let alone the cartoon

***edit

The LoG Killerdelphia dvd is fair awsome.... I picked it up mega cheap from the music store.. I think it was are $9.99AU. Walk with me in Hell is equally as awsome

 

Acid Bath too... one of the best bands ever to have existed. makes me feel at home in a bayou or a swamp

 

May aswell put some of the bands in which I Enjoy out there. Various types of metal and then a couple which have no relation to metal... can you guess which ones?
Opeth | Agalloch | Katatonia | Porcupine Tree | Blackfield | Amon Amarth | Anthrax | Behemoth | Burn the Priest | Lamb of God | Chimaira | Dimmu Borgir | Enya | Explosions in the sky | Fantomas | Morbid Angel | Meshuggah | A Perfect Circle | Tool | Kysuss | Mastodon | God Forbid | Metallica (older stuff) | My Dying Bride | Pantera | Paradise Lost | Suicide Silence | Therion | Shadows Fall | Unearth... theirs a few various other ones.... but they are the bands in which I really enjoy
