Im a little bit of everything in metal except for black metal, i just dont like it

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Whatever sounds good. Heaven Shall Burn is my favorite, by far. Also Caliban, Deadlock, Brain Drill, Within The Ruins, Spit, Valley of the Dead and a bunch of others. Oh, and I just bought Avenged Sevenfold's new CD today...

 

[RanD00M]

Bloodbath is awesome. Probably one of my favorite bands.

You have no become even more awesome then you were.And you were pretty fucking awesome.

I was awesome before? I wish I would have known.

As head of the Black☆Rock Shooter and Vocaloid Fan Club.You are 3 different kinds of awesome.

 

[rescuer86]

Thrash, death, operatic, progressive, melodic, some nu, just not glam metal. *shudders* Currently on a "Another Black Day" and "Beneath the Sky" kick. But Metallica, as always, rocks. I am also really getting into DragonForce ATM and have been a fan of Nightwish for sometime. Other than that, if people look at me with a WTF expression as I drive by with my music blasting, then I probably like it.

Off-topic: How many people on this thread get asked: "How can you listen to that?" at least twice a day? And, is there a more annoying question?

 

[Thrashgrinder]

what a suprise! i listen Thrash Metal and Grindcore.





get it?

 

[vivec710]

I'll listen to anything that's heavy. Majority of the time it's Pantera or Lamb of God. Metal is the only music I like, that's what happens when your dad blasts Black Sabbath since you were born

I will never understand the appeal of Vocaloid.

OT: You're one of the few people I've encountered that have heard of Negură Bunget. I wasn't too fond of them, but they were okay.

My mother asks me constantly what I see in the music I listen to. I keep telling her I like the skillful playing, but all she focuses on are the lyrics.

Well I love them for the song Negrii,of the Zirnindu-Sa album.Why? Because it's about Icelandic folklore,and sung in Icelandic.Well some of it is.And I just like the overall feel of their songs.

 

[viranimus]

Its just not metül, unless its brütal \m/,

In all seriousness...so long as it is loud and agressive and not repetitive drone.

 

[CobraX]

Mostly Heavy Metal, Thrash/Speed Metal, and some Nu Metal. I mostly listen to mainstream metal bands. My favourites are:
Alice In Chains, Dio, Disturbed, Iron Maiden, Lordi, Judas Priest, KoRn, Motorhead, and Metallica.

Pfah, the lyrics are often well put together, poetically.

I'm not sure why I like metal in all of it's forms. I think Rob Halford put it best:

"Ten thousand lights come blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision"

"Heavy Metal"-Judas Priest.

No, I think it's the fact that death metal lyrics are growled that she has issue with.

 

[darkknight9]

It should be mentioned (if it wasn't previously) that anyone looking to grasp a cold chunk of metal knowledge should rent/check out Sam Dunn's Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. TONS of interviews and info on genre's and sub genres.

As for me?
classic metal ? glam metal ? groove metal ? power metal ? speed metal ? funk metal ? thrash metal ? progressive metal ? alternative metal

Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, Faith No More, Danzig, Kings X, Gwar, and even selloutica.

Ah, I get it. I've always figured that it just takes some time to enjoy and understand it. An acquired taste, if you would.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

This is not "The Metal Thread"

This is one of the two "Metal Threads"

Yes that other thread was mine!
OT: Power metal.
Mainly stuff by freedom call.

Spoiler: like this

Indeed. I have actually gotten pretty good at said vocal style. Hurts your throat something awful after a while, though.

Just keep at it. Eventually, you'll find a way to do it that doesn't harm your throat in any way. I find it quite a comfy vocal style, myself. My throat always feels warm and fuzzy after an hour or so.

 

[bodyguarddied]

I listen to any kind of metal, including the -core sub-genres. as long as its some sort of metal, it's good enough for me.
