Does metal require anger and power?

[Klathorn]

i think metal requires little talent, but thats just me.

 

[Gsaba]

yeah you can't go taking the anger out of metal... that's like taking the g a y out of disco.

 

[Orla:)]

Uh, this doesn't require talent?

I'm not fond of metal music but I don't think that you need to be angry to be able to sing or like the song. I guess it neeRAB power of course.. the power to sing it loudly yet with feelings =D

thanks music banter for letting me in again .. truly appreciated =D
rock on!:band:

The ability to sound, both, like a menacing monster and an old lady in pain helps also.

 

[likkle Philosopher! xD]

does setting it to -1 suck sound into the amp?!

Metal = energy and aggression, not necessarily anger

I think that's a fairly laconic summary - obviously there are exceptions though.

And if you want full blown sodomy, try Dragonforce.

Your post reminded me of a comedy routine by Pablo Francisco... click here if you care to see.

But they are still metal are they not?

 

[Iucasy]

I think many people would disagree there, even the most extreme death metal banRAB require very skilled muscians.

I love all kinRAB of music, but something about injustice, anger and a desire to be more powerful always seems to flow through metal with me. How does it make you feel?

 

[grandmajjandcali]

I will always see Van Halen and Zeppelin as Rock N Roll banRAB... just as I now view the Ramone's as a punk rock band (leaning more towarRAB rock).

I see banRAB like Mega Death and early Metallica as Metal.

His voice impressions were better than the actual routine.

Like I said - some do, some don't.

 

[Cheese It]

Certain subgenres of metal (generally those I don't listen to) can be quite aggressive, but most proper metal has more epic than angry or aggressive undertones and it feels very calm and serene. Of course that calmness could be within a storm. But good metal shouldn't need to rely on anger.

 

[1 Big Conspiracy]

yes sir, just as Nickleback is still hard rock.

I agree with you... talent and skill fall into every category of music just as lack of talent and skill do as well.
