Your opinion of metal...

I love APC, Dir En Grey, Slipknot, System of a down and more but I also love other types of music except Rap, Hip hop and R N B, they're just so derogatory towards women and they're about drugs and sex
I really like From Autumn to Ashes it's rather nice and soothing <3 <3

Geez, now *THAT'S* a list!Gildan Bladeborn said:
...wait, do you have this list saved on your computer or something? It seems like this is the work of CTRL-C + CTRL-V rather than you actually remembering and typing out each band.
BTW it's good to see someone recommending Within Temptation around here. They may not be ridiculously popular but their music rocks.
I ignored metal until I had to teach a metal fan the guitar. While listening to the endless drudge of speed and thrash metal I eventually realised that some of it was very good. Still not my sort of music, but technically accomplished, lyrically ingenious, and melodically inspired.
It's like most genres of anything, 90% bullcrap, 10% genius. It's still not my sort of music, but if the right song comes on, I will still listen and think 'Wow, that's clever.'

Metal is the only genre that can be beautiful, epic, heavy and brutal all at the same time. Whether you're going through a tough time or are looking to feel like you could slay a fucking 79 headed spider dragon and his legion of porpoise demons, metal is always there for you. Admitedly, it is an acquired taste, although if you were looking to get into it I would suggest starting with some power metal (IMO the most accessible of the genre's) and then maybe go into melodic death metal (which is basically power metal with harsher vocals)or, if you don't want to even touch the harsh vocals then you can always look into progressive metal, glam metal, NWOBHM, or hell if your that desperate look into some nu-metal (I personally can't stand the stuff but everyone has their own taste)
im asumeing your from america (if wrongly sorry) bands that are slightly obscure that are intresting are gojira(heavy as hell) evile(trashy as hell) down(not obscure i no but where for me till recently)jason becker(solo guitarist only if your intrested) skindred (funky metal thats not shit) suidakra(if you like bodon you might like these guys) those are just off the top of my head and you might of heard of them if you want more stuff dat u prob wouldnt of heard message me ive lots more
IMO, it all depends on what you call metal, wether it be; Black, Doom, Heavy, Hardcore, Scene, Dark, Love or any of the other eleventy-billion other sub genres. You like whatever you like, there is no inbetween, there is no better or worse, it all depends on personal taste. Also, Nu-"Metal" if it can so be called, is really not metal however it is coming back into the mainstream, Thanks to bands like Slipknot and Disturbed who have sold out and catered to everyones tastes to become Mainstream, that, in my opinion, is really not metal, its more heavy rock.
