So who here is into death or black metal?


Slipknot faggots need not apply.

 

[Perfect Element]

You know.. that wasn't really Emperor.

I was listening to Slipknot, for my sociology class.

My thesis was "popularist fuck tards will even think music such as slipknot is cool if they see someone cool listening to it".

You lose.

Your grandad called by the way, he was wondering when he'd get to see you again...

 

[AsyLum]

Merging all these "metal threads, and cleaning them up.

 

[wanton-wonton]

Black Metal is shithouse.

Because I don't get it.

Man your thesis shouldve been "elitist scene fucktards who think their cool because they dont listen to mainstream"

I love death, especially melodic death.

yea clean up these metal scum

 

[ariande]

No, I think his whole point was that he likes to listen to talented musicians rather than mass produced angry crap.

*Points to the Majesty of Opeth.*

I've just aquired Damnation, in love with it already.

 

[Calculon]

Death on the Road is lame.

St Anger anyone?

[Speaking in generalisations here]

Because there is a lot of comptetition... Most people who listen to metal try to dissociate themselves from 'mainstream' and pop music... The natural urge of a metal head is to attack those who listen to what they, or other people classify as 'mainstream'. So Slipknot for example, their fans often get attacked by people claiming that 'real' metal heads don't listen to it, or any other kind of Nu-Metal, like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit etc.

Now I for one, listen to Slipknot, at least, the two albums they have that aren't half bad [in my eyes] and I listen to Linkin Park's first album, Hybrid Theory. I don't really care WHAT you call me, but I DO have some 'decent' music that I listen to... Don't automatically assume that because someone listens to something you don't like, they automatically don't listen to 'real' metal, or 'real' music. A lot of people classify the metal heads who include some 'mainstream' metal into their collection as being wankers who are trying to be angsty and piss of their parents. Needless to say, this is not the case with everyone. Yes, within every music genre, you get idiots. Yes, there are angst-ridden teenagers who claim that their life is meaningless who listen to Slipknot. But those same angst-ridden teenages listen to other metal genres as well, you cannot just contain them into Nu-Metal.

May I point out to all the metal fans on here, that metal is derived from classical Baroque music. Listen to a metal riff, take out the distortion and compare it to a Baroque song. I think you will be pleasantly [or unpleasantly - depending on whether you're trying to infuriate your parents or not *rolls eyes*] surprised.

The actual metal genre, coming from bands like Metallica, was supposed to be music that was harder, angrier, and yet accepted by people. That's why there was an emphasis on Baroque themes in the style of music.




I'm going to just assume that I will have people flaming me for comparing metal to classical... Might I point out that I too, listen to metal.

 

[ariande]

St Anger anyone?

Bah. Their worst album ever. I don't think it's actually all that bad, being Metallica and all it's hard to go wrong. But in comparison to things like Master of Puppets, the Black elbum even... St Anger's got nothing.

 

[wanton-wonton]

St Anger anyone?

It's been a while.

 

[wanton-wonton]

I love death, especially melodic death.

Melodic death isn't death.

 

[Calculon]

Melodic death isn't death.

Find another genre to put bands like Deadlock, Norther, Hypocrisy etc in then.

I haven't heard of those band since I'm not as metal as you.

 

[FreakTrigger]

I've just aquired Damnation, in love with it already.

Opeth live is way too sex for words.

 

[Stomping Ground]

Im just going to list some good bands here...

Opeth
Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater & Liquid Tension Experiment
Emperor
Meshuggah
Tool
Soilwork
Katatonia
Bloodbath
Ayreon


...and Europe

Man thats some good cheese... I mean metal...

 

[Stomping Ground]

Oh, and the bass in Mudvayne is pretty solid.

Anyone else here see Opeth when they came out?

And... what do you think of Ghost Reveries?
Its kinda grown on me, but the film clip was terrible. Get out of it Zorro.b

You're a fucking idiot.


It was an in-joke between me and Schroedinger about once when I let him listen to my headphones and he heard about 5 seconds of Emperor and was like WHOA THIS IS AWESOME.


Now get the fuck off my internet you fucking moron.
