#2 if you truly loved metal, you'd know metal is against b.s. like "straight edge" and quit that.

discuss.

 

# 1 #### you. j/k. Black metal deserves just as much recognition in the metal scene as does power metal or grindcore or some good ole death. But those costumes they sometimes wear can sometimes be hilariously ___. Good that you posted those links...I've been looking for them. They make me hot.


# 2 Completely agree. Please, quit that.

 

I love black metal, doom metal, death metal, grind core, metal core...it's all good, and all different......dont be drinkin hater-aideeeee

 

There was one guy, and one guy only who embodied "black" metal. King "Merciful Fate" Diamond. it should have been left at that.

"power metal" "grindcore" ? did u make those terms up?

 

Celtic Frost
Six Feet Under

 

haven't heard of celtic frost, but i used to love six feet under on hbo. too bad it had to end.

 

YES!!! Merciful Fate! Dont Break The Oath is quintessential.

No sir. I've heard those terms many times before.

according to wiki...
* Power metal is a style of heavy metal music with the aim of evoking an "epic" feel, combining characteristics of traditional metal with thrash metal or speed metal, often within symphonic context.

*Grindcore often shortened to grind, is an evolution of crust punk, most commonly associated with death metal, a very different, though similarly extreme, style of music. The name "grindcore" having actually being coined by Napalm Death's drummer, Mick Harris.

But I couldn't begin to tell ya what crust punk is. Never heard of that one.

I forgot to mention this band in my list of awsomeness.

lol thats most of it i think

 

I'm more of a punk fan than a metalhead, so me having a glass of champagne only once per year (New Years Eve tradition) is about as close to straight edge as I'm going to get. I absolutely do not drink, do drugs, or smoke. Sex and caffiene is good, but hardcore straight edge is kinda against even that.

And before anyone gets started, 95% of what you hear on the radio that you think is punk, is...not.

 

I can't believe no one gave props to the guy on the first page for listing SWORN ENEMY and 100 DEMONS ........ Dude mad props for being a NYC Hardcore fan

No one mentioned Most Precious Blood or MOWER ........

and I hate to break the news to you big fans of Avenge Sevenfold but they AREN't metal more like EMO..... Saw them at Ozzfest and they came on after Hatebreed, boy talk about almost getting BOO'd off stage.... no one was even paying attention to them except the Emo kids (you know the ones I speak of)

Dragonforce Sucks as well but I only saw them live at Ozzfest couldnt even hear them just sounded like static and a gorilla banging on pans

 

Avenged Sevenfold is far from Emo dude.

They fall more between metal and punk. Not to mention they kick more ___ than about 95% of the bands that have ever played Ozzfest.

 

hummmm well i think thats a big statement so your telling me A7X is more rockin then


System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Hatebreed, Lacuna Coil, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Velvet Revolver, Mudvayne, Shadows Fall, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, A Dozen Furies, Bury Your Dead, Judas Priest, Slayer, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Unearth, God Forbid, Otep, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Shadows Fall, Sworn Enemy, Drowning Pool, Adema, Mushroomhead, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Taproot, Pantera, Godsmack, Static-X, Incubus, Methods of Mayhem

Should I name some more?


but i guess to each their own huh


and don't ever use Punk in describing them

 

Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Slayer.

Those were the only ones in that list I found equal to-or better than A7X. And I like several of the other bands you have mentioned, though most of them suck.

 

I'm sure there will be people disagreeing with the both of us.......
In my opionion I think they suck and are

 

Finally, one post that listS ALL the ____ty metal bands on earth! (iced earth is ok, though)

 

Those are HARDCORE bands though, this is a METAL thread, and mower? Come on man, they're just a bro-core band on the same label as kotton mouth kings

 

lets see...

Opeth
Cradle of filth
Hatebreed (always puts me in a good mood)
atreyu
in flames
crowbar
death

well to make it easier buy sirius radio and have channel 27 on ALL your presets \m/

 

sometimes my age pops thru, and it's the old british metal ( priest, maiden, etc ) mixed with 80's versions like Helloween, Grim Reaper, etc that I'll toss in the player. Other times it's bands like Paradise Lost, Tiamet, Type "O", etc... to get some gloom and doom.
And stuff like Alice n chains, godsmack, etc just sounds great cranked up.
I don't usually care for the black metal genre, but on occasion enjoy slayer or cradle of filth.
Finally, i'll listen to older Metallica and bring back the memories of seeing them ( and bands like anthrax, etc ) at the old "Headliners" club here in Madison in the early 80's... those were the days...
