I love looking at the stylized art for the bands name and trying to figure out where the fuck each letter starts. There are far too many bands with styles like that these days.viranimus said:Original film? Awesome for its time
The last film in 2000? Not so much.
Oh music. Ehh some is good, but like any form of music for every 1 good act there are dozens that are pure shit.
Personally I cant stand repetitive drone bands Such as The faceless
Example
To each their own, but I find that just boring, uninspired and a lame attempt at saying or doing anything with the music.
I don't mind heavy metal at all and I even listen to it on occasion. Although I enjoy more doom, black, and stoner metal than thrash, power, or death metal. Ignorant people seem to think that metal causes people to actually do some of the violent things when that is ridiculous. Most people actually use metal in more of a cathartic kind of way to get out their aggressions in a healthy way.lion el jhonson said:For me I love Heavy Metal and I think its going to be around for a long time. For others, some say it's just the same thing over and over again and some say it's irritating and promotes violence. So whats your opinion?
(No I am not talking about Scream-O or Death metal but feel to talk about it)
Whoever says that has obviously never heard of Megadeth.lion el jhonson said:promotes violence.
One could make that case against most pop music, but you can't accuse metal of being unoriginal. (Some bands are, but that's the case with any genre.)lion el jhonson said:For others, some say it's just the same thing over and over again
Arsen said:Heavy Metal has the intelligence of the classical composers, the feel and suffering of the creators of blues, and the original, true spirit of rock and roll that The Beatles, Chuck Berry, and Elvis created.
It's the ONLY genre pushing new avenues of thought. Opeth, Dark Tranquility, Ayreon, Blind Guardian, Therion, Borknagar, Agalloch, Emperor, Bathory...
Ever metal band is worth a thousand, indie "rock" bands these days. It's mindblowing, they expand the very horizons of musical prowess, and in the future will be remembered for keeping the tradition of music alive.
SCREAMO IS NOT A GENRE. I am so damn sick of people with any taste in music referring to hardcore/metalcore/deathcore and any other sub-genre of punk or metal which utilising screaming vocals as 'screamo'. It's a pathetic word which carries no weight whatsoever. Would you call Led Zep 'screamo' because of Plant's famous wolf howl voice? No! Would you call Foo Fighters 'screamo' because Grohl screams in songs like Break Out? No! So don't clump together bands like Whitechapel, Alexisonfire, Gallows, Architects (all members of completely different sub-genres) under the same daft umprella of 'screamo'.lion el jhonson said:For me I love Heavy Metal and I think its going to be around for a long time.

You I can call friend, and another person that can't stand death metal as much as I do!fi6eka said:Metal fan right here.I personally like the old hard rock and heavy metal bands - Scorpions,Black Sabbath(but only the Dio years), Iron Maiden - that sorh of thing.Might say I also like alot of power metal and symphonic metal(i don't know why i just do :] )
The only things i can't stand are Mettalica(a band that hasn't released anything wort listening since 1991 does't deserve it's fame) and Death Metal bands - douchebags who can't actually sing, covering behind uninteligeble sceam - bleagh
Dragonforce is a mediocre band that makes music with computers and sound effects. That's not music. At least not heavy metal. Don't you even dare saying that to anyone who is seriously into heavy metal.Collins254 said:Love it!! dragonforce being one of my all time favourite bands =], seen em live a few times aswel as trivium, machine head, turisas, arch enemy( scary ass lead singer) and shadowfall, im a big fan of rock in all apects.
