Metal VS. Punk

[Slash Guitarist]

Punk.... easily I like more punk bands than anything.

Most metal just does my head in.

I can never understand a word they "say" with all that extremley deep shouting going on.

Punk Rock tried to Kill the Metal..... Ha ha ha, They Failed as they were stricken down to the ground.! (Tenacious D, The Metal)

As a Musician, In general I see a lot more technical proficiency In Metal artists. I know for many people it's about what you enjoy... but nothing worse than listening to a "classic" and hearing a guitar solo and chords you can play in your sleep, and fgeeling unable to believe such laziness was rewarded with fame and fortune.

The Sex Pistols can be forgiven on grounds of sheer attitude... VERY few other bands have kicked ass so hard as they di don Never mind the Bollocks.

You're not Zebra Man from Heavy Metal Parking Lot are you??

[-Laura-]

Metal, I don't like at all the punk singing.

[The Sandman]

Metal. Easily.

[moreblack]

metal for me. I never really got punk.

[*FiberGlass Doll*]

I listen to alot more Punk bands then I do Metal bands. So Punk for me.

[Dead Flower]

What zint said.

[Death Star]

I like both genres a lot but never really showed my support for punk so I voted punk.

Anarchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rock2

[GNRrocks3]

Metal by FAR.

[awesome 80's]

i aint really listened to a lot of metal. or any metal really, i dunno, i dont think Alice Cooper counts, thats more like...rock n roll so i dunno. never listened to Sabbath or Judas Priest or any of that so i dunno. these genre vs genre comparison and generally a little non-sensical.

why don't you give the genre a shot? i guarantee you'll like it.

[KingsOfTheCarnivalCreation]

Alot of Punk bands are influences on Metalbands....Specially Thrash Metal, but Metal for me..I dont see no Black Punk ....It's all about black Metal!

why not? so whats like...where'd you start even?

Feel free.

[awesome 80's]

Alright then

Judas priest-I remember back in the early 80's i bought british steel thinking i was going to get a mediocre rock album. well i thought wrong the album was phenomenal. it was the first album i ever bought. i have been a fan ever since.

Motörhead-late 70's early 80's they made some killer material.

iron maiden-even though i never got into them. you might like them.

black sabbath- personally i like both ozzy and dio years equally. but you might want to give their material with ozzy a try first.

venom-i never cared for them very much but you might find enjoyment out of them.

thrash-metallica/megadeth/slayer/voivod/anthrax/celtic frost/Suicidal Tendencies-i never got into the whole thrash thing but i think it might be appealing to you or anyone else trying to get into the genre.

groove metal-pantera/white zombie/machine head/five finger death punch/lamb of god/six feet under-you probably wont dig this sub-genre unless your into more heavier stuff. but i think it's worth giving a shot.

avenged sevenfold-i like this band there worth giving a try.

down- they got a nice southern metal sound that i find pretty killer.

You can't choose between the two.

[Black Sabbath]

Metal...Punk sucks in my opinion

[SunnyDRE]

time to end this.

End what?

Oh by the way, you could classify a whole lot of "so-called metal" in the punk catergory and vice-versa.

I find trying to catergorize music into different genres is pointless......I mean some rap could even be consider punk (Bad Brains, N.W.A) and for that matter some people would even say Limp Bizit's early stuff is metal. You get it? These polls serve no purpose.

-Black Sabbath(Dio and Ozzy era)

-Iron Maiden

-Deep Purple

-Rainbow

-Megadeth

And Punk, for me some of my favorite bands are Punk bands.

Misfits(Danzig Era), Stooges, Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc.

[inthisriver]

Punk. I hate most metal, there's only a few bands in that genre I can tolerate.

[Lone Sal Bug]

I like some Metal but not all, Sabbath being the main one. but for me, Punk wins this easily.

since when were bad brains a rap group?!?!

[Is0tope]

Punk. Add a bit of slower songs with poppy melodies as spice and there's my perfect dinner for my ears . The Replacements have been pleasing me for days .
