I like the music, but cant tolerate they whingy yelling that often goes with it. That said im sure tit will be the music of choice for the up coming white supremistist summit at the gold coast... at least think these idiots will think im good because im arian :lol:

Im a massive tool fan. Or more specifically an aenima fan. im not into lateralus or 10,000 days or much of their earlier stuff besides sober and disgustipated. Im not keen on a perfect circle or pucifer either. But aenima is my favourite album of all time.
To pray for a comet to hit earth and create a tidal wave that flushes away all the bullshit-brilliant. Eulogy, h, third eye, pushit brilliant aswell. i was pretty sure it would be hard to get better after aenima and it looks like they have been steadily getting worse ever since.

Metallic have had moments of genius in the past. Theyre not bad sometimes. but with titles like st anger. how tacky and embarrasing. time to retire too.

Someone mentioned marilyn manson. his schtick makes him come across as a bit of a joke and the music is bad but he is a great lyricist

I didnt mind rollins band "the end of silence" back in the day
Some bad religion is pretty good too if thats classed as heavy metal

That is so wrong haha
The Trooper is one of my faves, I hope it hasn't ruined it for me! haha

After I listened to moosey's vid, I had to go and listen to the original 'The Trooper', just to get it back in my head!

So many 'core bands have been listed as metal... ffs if you can't tell the difference harden up. There are hardly grey areas here like there are with symphonic/soft stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of Nightwish personally, but if you ignore the vocals in most songs the music is as metal as Slayer. This is their old stuff of course... Anything after Tarja is garbage.

The reason stuff like this is hard to classify, is since there is so much variation in lyrics under the metal umbrella. You have to think about what the music is like without vocals. Is it metal now? If yes, where does it fit? The vocalist usually plays a small part anyway... so usually I accept that even if the vocals or lyrics are pissweak, if underneath it it's metal, then it's metal. I bet some 'core listener is thinking "Oh then BfMV is metal too, I knew it!". Get real, you can take out the vocals and still know it's core.

"Nu MeT41zzz" garbage isn't metal, it is a distinct genre. Don't try to place it under the metal umbrella or any other for that matter, it doesn't fit.

Some bands I like

Opeth
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Iced Earth
Demons and Wizards
Sepultura
Nile

Why does it have to "fit in"? Why the need to pigeon hole or put a label on everything?

It doesn't. There isn't. It's just interesting.

I wasn't going to let my mates miss out on that one either haha

Another one to check out is a bloke auditioning for Greek X-Factor & singing "Fear of the Dark". I use the word "singing" very loosely. It's hilarious, I'll try & find the link....
