[ClintroN]

[Dead N' Bloated]

Metal is Dead. There aint been a good Metal bands since Pantera split 2 or 3 years ago. All its is now is that fuckin emo hardcore rapcore metalcore shit. There is no fuckin aggression in metal no more, To all these pussies out there who think they're metal, Get in the Ring.

Bullshit. Bands don't have to be as big as Pantera to be good.

There are tons of good metal bands out there.

[R4tfink]

3 Inches of Blood to name an awesome metal band.

[Sakib]

heavy metal is gr8. the lyrix r gd 2 like iron maiden. all their stuff is based mostly on fantasy and there song is almost a story of some sort. sometimes, the sotry parallels 2 reality such as flight of the icarus.

Agreed. Go listen to some Opeth or Devin Townsend, and then tell me metal is dead

There's no way CD will be a "metal" record. I don't think Axl worked 10 years to deliver a metal album. This is not what GN'R is about. This is not a metal band.

yea exactly, metal bands tend to waffle about destruction, nuclear war, death and lean towards heavy distortion and dissonance etc...not exactly guns n roses imo...if anyone thinks gnr are a metal band then name a gnr song which is a metal song...

and?  Not all metal bands do that. It's funny how you make it sound like your opnions are facts.

..not exactly guns n roses imo...if anyone thinks gnr are a metal band then name a gnr song which is a metal song...

Who cares if some people think G N' R are metal?

[Rob]

Children Of Bodom make 3 Inches Of Blood look like shit.  They're one of the most talented bands I've ever heard.  Alexei Laiho is a sick guitarist, and that keyboard in there is so cool.  You can really hear the classical influence, which is also very cool.  I highly recomend Children Of Bodom, definitely one new metal band that kicks ass.  Unfortunately they're probably the only new metal band worth talking about.

[Sakib]

do they hav a websyt Rob???

[N.I.B]

im not into black metal and death metal because you cant understand anything the guys are saying but i think bands like:

Judas Priest
Ozzy Osbourne
Dio
Rainbow
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Metallica
Scorpions
Saxon
Megadeth
Pantera
Black Label Society
Queensryche

etc.

speak for themselves.

Guns N' Roses ain't metal. Their hard rock.

I would consider Out Ta Get Me, Anything Goes, Rocket Quenn, Welcome to the Jungle, My Michelle and Nightrain as glam metal and It's so Easy as metal

  Izzy?

[N.I.B]

and then you have tonnes of metal sub typres:

Thrash
Death
Power
Black
Heavy
Emo

etc.

I would bet that the majority of people in this thread that leaped on nesquick would, if approached about rap music, say "That's garbage!  Its fucking trash!  You can't call that MUSIC!  Its just a bunch of rich children TALKING about Bling and Hoes!"

Funny when its metal you are all singing (or screaming) "You need to open your mind to more types of music!"...  I could be wrong... I don't think that I am.

The difference between metal and rap is that one takes a lot of talent and one doesn't.  Bands like Iron Maiden and Megadeth are extremely musically talented.  They are musicians that have worked extremely hard at becoming great.  Rappers use machines to creat their music, or they steal their music from other songs (often rock and metal songs).  Also the lyrics in metal are much more intelligent.  I'll take Iron Maiden's songs about historic battles over Nelly rapping about bitches and bling bling anyday.

Wow.  Thank you for proving my point.

You obviously know fuck-all about rap music, and don't have any interest in opening an ear to it.  Just like nesquick has no interest in listening to metal in-depth.  Yet you guys are on his case for "not being open to all types of music", etc.

BTW, nice job of picking an artist at the top of the charts to represent all hip hop (Nelly)... You'd think a fan of rock music would appreciate the fact that sometimes the best artists aren't found in the top 40.  Just goes to show you how ignorant YOU are to different types of music.

i listen 2 all musik and trust me, rap is boring. u can make it fast or as funky as u want.

a good song 4 me is a song where u feel like playing an instrument along with it or u feel energy.

e.g. the blues. i like the guitar in it and feel like playing evrytym i listen 2 it or welcome 2 the jungle, i feel like drummin along 2 it.

rap duznt hav that feel.
