Great album right there.Im an "And Justice for All" man through and through.Speaking of classic albums, anyone else going to this Megadeth/Testament tour? Megadeth is playing "Rust In Peace" all the way through and Testament is doing the same with "The Legacy". Thats gonna be wild, I cant wait.

Paula McKagan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 >implying metal is musicI kid, I kid. But honestly, I just don't get what people see in metal. Shit like DragonForce and Iron Maiden just doesn't do it for me.Dragonforce, imo, sucks...Nothing original going on there. There are way better power metal bands...My favorite metal band is Poison.that's not metal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think Dragonforce gets a bad rep just for being one of the more popular bands of the genre. Sure, it doesn't help that Herman Li can't play his parts and the music is sped up in the studio, but if you take the music for what it is, I think it's pretty standard Power Metal. Not something I'd go out of my way to listen to, but I don't think it's revolting like some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Curious.Where does the line between metal and hard rock start/blur? Perhaps someone could give some bands as examples?Thanks.

LightningBolt Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 There's tons of bands that are at that inbetween point and are constantly argued back and forth. Take the entire Hair Metal genre. Some bands are understood to be heavy metal (Motley Crue), and some are understood to be more hard-rockish (Poison, White Lion), but many are argued both ways (Ratt, Keel). And a lot of 70's bands are argued. UFO, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Rush, and others are argued to be Metal, or at least Metal at one point or another.

Tater Totts Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 To be honest Sunny it is very difficult because Metal is an umbrella genre with so many different subgenres and parts of it.For me stuff like Led Zep, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Bowie and Springsteen whereas Metal is stuff like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and System of a Down. However the sub genres of both are so large.Rock ArtistsMetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His vocals match the music just fine.And atleast his voice as held up over time unlike Hetfield. Unless you like his abominable vocals on Death Magnetic.

krissirge Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Accept is reuniting without Udo.....i smell a disaster in the making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yeah, that's disappointing. I saw that they were making a new album for the year and added it to my 'albums to listen to when they come out' list anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Anyone else into Ihsahn? its the singer from Emperor. His solo stuff doesnt have the Emperor sound pretty much at all. Its a mix of a lot of elements of metal but it has its slowed down, emotional side too. The new disc "After" is really good and after one spin I said "well im gonna have to listen to this at least 3 more times to even wrap my head around it." Definitely worth a listen. Heres "Frozen lakes on mars" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I don't listen to a ton of metal bands, but the few that I do listen to I'm a seriously die-hard fan of. My favorites:Iron MaidenBlack Sabbath (Especially Dio era)Anthrax (Belladonna only)SlayerMotorheadI also listen to plenty of NWOBHM bands casually.

LightningBolt Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I love NWOBHM. I really think it's Heavy Metal's greatest point in time, the late 70's/early 80's. Such great bands around like Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Diamond Head, Cloven Hoof, early Def Leppard, Witchfinder General, Saxon, Grim Reaper, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Tank. I can throw on a random song from any of these bands and 99 times out of 100 it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFO, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Rush, and others are argued to be Metal, or at least Metal at one point or another.I saw Saint Vitus open for Black Flag in 1984.They were considered metal,with a throwback sound to early Sabbath.Which was interesting seeing as Sabbath were considered metal,but depending who you talk to,not so much now.I thought Saint Vitus were cool...not amazing or anything,but they were into what they were doing and it came off as very sincere.It was amazing seeing a bar full of drunk Flag fans getting into Vitus.The gap was closing and the divide between hardcore and metal was minimal...which was fine by me.I filmed Saint Vitus that night...here's one their songs that I filmed. Look closely and you'll see Henry Rollins down front getting into their set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
