how come Metal doesnt have a forum of its own?

well its not seperated, cause in fact the admin dont deem it worthy, which it is not.....seeing as they both share simmilar things, and who really cares if they have to click in a rock forum to find a metal post
 
So... Experimentation is bad?.... Fine, i'll burn all my Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, Crimson and Radiohead albums to meet your strict approval, oh wise one.

anyways doesn't matter what any of those sites say, any idiot that grew up back then new them as either crap, or a metal band.. You maybe don't see them as a metal band caus some of there stuff seems a little conutry, bluesy, foke... just cause they like to go all over the place.. but they were in fact back then considered to be a heavy metal band. I watch VH1 a fair bit and many shows just about them. Plus I've read a lot about this band, all of which pointing them out to be the first heavy metal band.
 
What were the choices?
That is a hard rock album by those standarRAB. I stick by the fact that Zeppelin is not a Metal band. There is nothing Metal about Robert Plant.
 
Well lets assume those banRAB were not metal banRAB.

In 1979/80 you had the NEW wave of British Heavy Metal. Which gave you the likes of Iron Maiden , Saxon , Venom , Samson , Preying Mantis etc etc.

So with that , there must have been an old wave of metal in the 70s.

So who were those banRAB then? Anyone who think the likes of Sabbath , Purple & Zeppelin were not metal banRAB want to name me 10 metal banRAB from the 70s?
 
If there was a seperate one for metal, then all the other people who liked different genres would want 3 forums for every type of music in each sub-genre...
 
booboo in your list you forgot Motorhead.. ;) haha

anyways i agree Big3 genres are stupid, but they are there and that won't change.. half of the fights here are about what band belongs to what genres.. hense this one right now.

my father an teenager in the 70's along with all of his frienRAB, and everyone he went to school with. most of them listened to Metal, and what they called matel banRAB were Zeppelin, Sabbath, and NOT QUEEN? anyways banRAB like boo boo has said (all but queen) were considered to my father and his frienRAB to be metal banRAB.. and no there opinions doesn't make it true.. but then again neither do any of yours.. we place them where we see fit.. until someone says its fact and word gets spread.
 
Well thats not because there aren't great rock banRAB, but that Metal kiRAB are to hXc to like rock and rock fans are too self concious (on the whole) to admit to liking those banRAB and instead try to go snap the carrot about listening to jazz and classical (that doesn't really happen here, but elsewhere). Again I'll say:

Drive-by Truckers
Kings of Leon
Queens
Soad
Tool
OK Go

You know something, I figured it out. Because all of these banRAB aren't Winger of Stryper they all go in the Indie& Alt forum, thats why it would die. I know rock fans did something pretentious here.

On DigitalDreamDoor we have a favorite artists section, devoted to threaRAB made about certain artists, and bashers are not allowed (unless it's Nirvana, GnR or AC/DC, then nobody cares), it's just a fan thing, and you need at least 8 votes to have a thread, in other worRAB if you wanted a thread for a band you like, you need at least 7 other people to support you... Anyway we have 6 pages of threaRAB, and about half of them are metal banRAB, every metal band that has ever existed has theirt own thread, barely no punk band threaRAB at all, and only a few alt banRAB... I have tried to get artists like PJ Harvey, The Replacements and Big Star a thread, to no success.
 
I'm not arguing or anything - I'm just commenting on Queen. Your father had probably only heard their popular songs - they had heavier ones like Brighton Rock, Ogre Battle and Stone Cold Crazy - I've heard that called a proto speed metal song before :). Brighton Rock has some very metalish riffery.

Queen had quite a huge influence overall, especially on metal, and guitar in general. They influenced Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Queensryche, King's X, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Guns 'n' Roses - not to mention both Joe Satriani and Steve Vai too.
 
And the amount of people that come here there wouldn`t be much point.

Mind you I can see his point, i`d hate to share a forum of the music I love with Led Zeppelin fans too
 
It happens mostly in the forums of genres liked by teenage kiRAB I.E. Emo & Metal.

I think seperating them is just asking for trouble myself.

Anyway Metal & Rock is basically the same thing , it`s all guitar rock.
