I didn't even mention lyrics... I didn't mention instrumental skills, don't assume I even care about instrumental skills because it's the last thing on my mind when I listen to something. I wont waste my time here, I just said I don't really like much melo death and see it as something overrated.

If they have good riffs\bass lines etc. and good lyrics obviously it's a good song what you just said makes me believe you are a moron and do not belong in this section.

cannibal corpse isnt death metal its death core big difference... Punk rock ftw though or grind core.... but as far as metal pornogrind!!!!!! lol it rocks... and for death metal of course dethklok from metalocolpyse lol.... good show.. and if anyone mentions jfacb as good band omfg ill get mad they suck

anyone else smell a bit of ignorance?

why the fuck hasn't anyone mentioned Vader or Behemoth...
Heres my list
Decapitated
Slayer
Death
Pantera
Deicide
Nile
Venom
Dimmu Borgir
Lamb Of God(Good but very Over-Rated)
Winds Of Plague
Metallica
Immolation
Amon Amarth
Cannibal Corpse
Bloodbath
Suffocation
And tons more...

Also, SOAD and Slipknot are not metal in my opinion.. They don't deserve to be mentioned in a metal thread. If SOAD or Slipknot or Korn is your favorite band, don't go around thinking your a metalhead.

Thought I already mentioned vader, and I agree with the bottom part.

 

[wambow]

To be honest,
Children of Bodom,
Dream Theater,
And Iron Maiden (I know there popular) But their all amazing. Especially the Maiden 80's

Check my signature
I've got my top 5 bands right there.

Escape the Fate isn't exactly metal.

I'm sorry Swan, but you cannot say that Slipknot, System of a Down, and other such bands are not "good" metal.

Good, great, bad, terrible, etc. Those are all opinion based, and you cannot say that a band is, "good / bad." You may say that you don't like them, you don't appreciate their music, and that is fine, because that insinuates your opinion.

Oh, and streatz, just because your taste in music varies with others, does not mean you are the supreme decider of what people want to call themselves.

If you don't consider those bands metal, then great, that's your opinion. But you cross the line when you tell others that they cannot consider themselves metal heads if they listen to those bands and not your bands.

We have already went over this there music is terrible because A no skills instrumentally and there lyrics are lacking and usually just a mess which makes for bad songs this is not opinionated anyone with a brain can figure these 2 things out.

I call those an excuse for hard-rock with sometimes harsh, and definitely inconsistent and untalented vocals.

EVERYONE I know that listens to these bands listen to them because their friends think they're good - and incidentally those people listen to them because they don't want to be harassed by THEIR friends, and so on. If you got a "Slipknot fan" or a "SOAD fan" before they were indeed a "fan", allowed them to listen to them without the peer pressure, they would be like "How the fuck can you listen to this crap?"

Good metal is generally music that is at least acceptable by most people (even if they don't listen to metal). There are exceptions for genres like Death Metal, because a majority don't like the intensity of the instrumentals, or the harshness of the vocals, however among a niche group, the same applies as discussed earlier in this paragraph.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Iron Maiden. My dads a metal head so, Around 4 i got introduced.
Mostly the Bruce Dickson era though.

Basicly Slipknot and SOAD are not metal, Metalheads listen to Metal and not bullshit.

Well, Burzum and Bathory are the ones I like the most. Dark Throne, Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Rotting Christ etc go along also pretty well... Just found this new band, Sacrificia Mortuorum and damn I'm in love with it <3 http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=14960

 

[MasterOfStuff]

Like I said, I don't care what genre you want to call them, but that is your opinion. You could call them classical for all I care, but it doesn't change the fact that it is solely your opinion.
Again, if a "metal head" listened to some Brittany Spears, and they enjoyed it, then who are you to tell them off? Maybe you don't like Brittany Spears, but that person does. There is no secret Metal Head code which states you may only listen to and appreciate a certain number of bands, and if you don't you cannot call yourself a metal head.

I look like your typical metalhead, long hair(really long actually), beard, wear band t-shirt's(mostly metal) and...well I have camo-shorts XD. But, the majority of the music I listen to would probably be considered "pussy/fag music" by typical metal fans. That doesn't include musically knowledgeable "metalheads", they usually don't base a person on the type of music they listen to. It's kinda stupid to base someone on that, music is too personal and obective.

But, good point Viper. I always go into a forum realizing that it's people's opinions they post. Even if the person doesn't realize it. I see where you're coming from though, it can get annoying. It's different if you post your opinions with reasons behind them. That makes them a little more understandable than blatantly declaring a band makes horribly generic music.

 

[/B/lackup]

Good suggestions so far, I would like to add though:

Seneca
Heavy Heavy Low Low
Kill Whitney Dead
Dr Acula
Vader
In Flames
Old Man's Child
Between the Buried and Me

But my favorites listed so far have to be:

Dimmu Borgir
Metallica
Alice in Chains
Lamb of God
Fall of Troy
The Devil Wears Prada
As I Lay Dying
cant really consider Led Zepplin metal, but I'll put them on the list to.

 

[TDD]

Whether you consider slipknot to be metal, or hard rock, they are still a good band in my opinion.

In that case, your opinion counts for nothing.



In Flames we trust.

 

[Swan]

In that case, your opinion counts for nothing.



In Flames we trust.

In Flames We Trust,
Redcliffe Australia =D

 

[xx mdv xx]

I have to admit that Surfacing is a pretty damn uncreative song, but their other songs aren't too bad, and their new album pwns.

I mostly listen to Metalcore though.
As I Lay Dying
The Devil Wears Prada
All that Remains
Lamb of God

Awesome bands and some of them might be mainstream, but that doesn't mean they automatically suck.

 

[deadzone]

Sorry, but again Deadzone, you are in fact not the decider of what is "good and bad" music all around. I personally hate blues, country, R&B, World Class rock, and screamo. Now, I do think these bands have talent, and I respect them for making it big and getting large audiences to listen to them, but I personally have no taste for that kind of music.

You may call it hard rock if you wish, but again, your opinion, and I won't say you're wrong if will do the same.

This may come as a surprise to you, but I listen to these bands because I like their music, and it gets me pretty damn pumped when I lift, run, etc. If I started walking around school screaming how much I loved slipknot, a lot of people would probably deter from me because it is not the "popular" thing to listen to. This does not phase me at all, because I'll listen to whatever I want. I am just letting you know I don't listen to it because it is popular, because it is in fact the exact opposite.
When attending the Mayhem Festival 2008 in Denver, there were around 18,000 people there. I would say that the majority of the band t-shirts people were wearing were slipknot related. Slipknot was also the last band to play and thus was the biggest band there. I personally was looking for more from them, and I thought Disturbed played better, but nonetheless, there are plenty of slipknot fans, and thus, plenty of people that think they are good. *I said think because it is opinion based.

And for the record, I watched and listened to Arch Enemy - We Will Rise video, and I could not stand it. The pure screaming turns me off of music because I have NO idea what they are saying. With a lot of slipknot, I can understand it, and that is another reason I like them.

Whether you consider slipknot to be metal, or hard rock, they are still a good band in my opinion.

Like I said, I don't care what genre you want to call them, but that is your opinion. You could call them classical for all I care, but it doesn't change the fact that it is solely your opinion.
Again, if a "metal head" listened to some Brittany Spears, and they enjoyed it, then who are you to tell them off? Maybe you don't like Brittany Spears, but that person does. There is no secret Metal Head code which states you may only listen to and appreciate a certain number of bands, and if you don't you cannot call yourself a metal head.

I will talk about these 2 quotes as a whole, First, If you here someone playing 1 string on a guitar hitting the same note over and over and over, you will call it shit and say it's not music same with songs if you sound like a dying frog no one is going to like it and they will call it shit, unless of course you are deaf thats why they show people at the beginning that suck on American idol everyone thinks they suck because they have no talent etc.

You apparently also have no clue what a label describes being called a "metalhead" etc. don't mean that you listen to just strictly metal and you're the darkest evilest person ever etc. it's a simple label that states the majority of the music you enjoy and listen to is metal of some type. so you could listen to death metal and listen to a little bit of country. it means nothing. as for the genre's a genre is based on certain things you hear in songs although to label a band is kind of pointless it does help classify certain things.
