The Metal Education Thread

Well, "apples and oranges" are both good fruits to this day!!!:laughing: Green Day was once good, but has "rotten" with age!!!

By the way, Green Day is not metal!!!:banghead:
 
i agree totally with merkaba two or three posts up Black SAbbath for there time were really heavy and doom metal or doom rock did not exist they may exist now and back catergorising SAbbath may work that way but why back catergorise they were metal then if it wasnt for them so many banRAB would never have started and been the metal banRAB as we know. In 30 years time slayer might be considered soft rock does that mean that there not metal now??
The actual term "heavy metal" was from a quote made by some reviewer of a gig by led zepplen, so if you wanted to really split hairs they would be the premier metal band, personally i dont want that to be true but such is life

Theres been some debate in my circle about genres, now pretending that metal isnt just metal could someone please define the following

DAmaged especially the albums: do not spit and token remedies research what is this? its not grind its not death metal, but its really heavy and really fast and exceptionatly brutal the drummer is debatedly one of the best.
Fantomas they are heavy (****ing heavy live) they have one of the most influnential metal drummers but they arnt considered metal so what are they??
 
Yeah, I meant that the punk thing would probably only be referring to the singer, and not the music. But that's just my impression.

I haven't heard much Samson, but they're probably straight heavy metal.
 
i see...all well and good then. i wasnt saying that i dont like as i lay dying, because i do, very much. but i see what youre talking about.
 
"Doom Metal" is merely a sub-genre of "Heavy Metal".

So anyone referring to Sabbath as "Doom Metal", is essentially admitting that they're Heavy Metal.

"Doom Metal" is METAL, as the name itself clearly states.
 
yes if damaged sounded like fear factory i wouldnt listen to them either, what i was trying to say is that they completlly blew FF off stage, they were rightly hurabled, so was pantera when do not spit blew them off the charts, if damaged didnt have so many internal problems they would have been a name well respected, they did the stupidest thing and replaced an awsome singer with kevin sharp of brutal truth ooops. so never buy purified in pain, but there other albums are seriously amazing
a sample can be found at intoannihilation com youll need to fix the link (adding the '.'s, i havnt posted enough to put urls on yet.
They dont sound like FF
i think there over now but they were one of australias best exports.
now with Death metal im confused on how Whisper supremecy and and then youll beg is death metal, the vocals on the most part are not, and lyrically its not about death only the worst singer ever lord worm is death metal and he cant keep up with the band (well neither could desalvo with and then youll beg but it was better than worm).
and meshuggah melodic death?? really? i thought at the gates was melodic death, meshuggah sound nothing like that, vocally its not death metal, and tech wise its too heavy for prog.
yeah im not a huge fan of dimmu either though they do have there moments of shining the orchestras, the bass players vocal parts and such, thats interesting that they are gothic industirial, i heared they were black metal becuase of the satan crap, but i can hear the goth, well no see the goth side pretty clearly but it just looks like more commercial black metal.
 
I've finally begun work on the updated version. It will contain a great deal more genre info as well as expounding on some of the "sub" sub genres (Funeral Doom, Technical Death, etc.)

Look for it end of March
 
AAHAHAHHAHA Rolling Stone? Trusted? I wouldn't trust those idiots with a penny. Not only are they inaccurate half the time, they pick the worst picks for certain things and i'd like to see you actually prove sabbath is heavy metal, a bunch of sites wont do it for me. Prove it.
 
I cant think of much music today that is really metal, I admit some of the overseas banRAB I havent heard but in Oz most of the music is a punk/metal joining
