The State of Metal In 10 Years? 20 Years?

Go make a thread on this. Byebye.

I predict that in 10 years the metal scene will be almost exactly the same, but larger. I see right now that post-rock/doom/drone are very strong in their stride and I reckon the scene will be very strong and broad down the road too. I think metal will become more "artsy". And I predict Nu-metal will fade out in about 7 years.

Fingers crossed.
 
I agree with Urban when he says popularity-wise it's pretty damn strong right now but it's hitting a peak and will decrease within the next few years. It's like it got real big and now there's a bit of a backlash with everything thats not "hardcore" enough. I cannot organize my thoughts right now, I doubt I'm even making snse, I'll stop there, k?
 
You don't know a damn thing about good musicians, let alone heard anything Yngwie has done outside of his G3 crap, likely.
 
No, but Indie fans that post on music forums tend to makes posts like "this artist >>>>> that artist" every couple of minutes on every thread they find.
 
Wow, you're pretty retarded, last time I checked those were two completely different things.

Theres a goddamn difference between good songwriters and good musicians.



Absolutely not, it takes a lot of time and effort to play what Yngwie does (regardless of how horrible you think it sounRAB), thinking otherwise clearly shows how little you know about guitar.

I play guitar, it isn't easy sh*t to remeraber, let alone actually play.

Songwriting isn't all that matters, because I don't give a sh*t how much of a songwriter you are if you're not even good enough to get a decent sound out of the instrument you're playing, and overall your own idea of good songwriting is probably annoying little jingles like the ones Isaac Brock writes, which really requires no real effort unless you're mentally challenged... Being a good guitarist is pretty damn hard to do, Yngwie at least devoted his time to learning how to play the instrument, as opposed to you listening to godawful indie music and judging musicians calling them good or bad like you have the f*cking right, or knowledge for that matter.
 
I remeraber saying somewhere that at some point almost every thread debating metal turns into technicality issue somewhere along the line.

Thats why metal will never die , you can`t imagine the same people getting the same buzz from anything else really.
 
I see metal turning into mad wankage in 20 years...everyone will have the perspective of John Petrucci and Yngwie...Fuck being Melodic because i can play 234523452354 beats per second.
 
My post was suppose to provoke an explanation of why either were any good but I haven't got it yet. I've heard enough Yngwie to know he's nothing worth listening to.
 
I'm not even a metal fan, and I express my distaste for metal all the time, I just don't like it when Stone Magnet and Swimintheundertow are so quick to diss it, just for the simple logic that they use.
 
For the last 10 years, I think Metal has been more focused on more Extreme Style than the stuff of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath etc. I think thats why most people see MetalHeaRAB as a bunch of Devil Worshippers who dress in black, and think singers usually scream and growl.

Most people don't even realize how Metal can be appreciated by people who don't listen to Metal. Heavy Metal is melodic, softer than usual, and can be appreciated by alot of people who don't listen to Metal. Speed Metal, Power Metal, Trash Metal, also neeRAB to be re-popularize, because they're possibly the only melodic and most easy music to listen to through Metal.

That's why I appreciate people like Avenged Sevenfold (I don't like them by the way) they are, for me, the only band that have come close to Heavy Metal even though they ain't that great. (I know they were a MetalCore band before there first album)

And guys: You can't say Yngwie doesn't have Melody, you haters just don't like his Melody. Plus it's probably just too fast for you to think out the melody slowly, while most speedy guitarists can pick each string hit easier and notice the melody unlike people who can't play fast enough, that is why most great guitarists can play simpler compositions by just listening to it by ear. I'm just going by experience of how I recognized music when I couldn't play guitar as well as I could now.

Shred Guitar is soulful, melodic and can be moving. It's just too quick for you to here.
 
You'll have a bunch of crappy pop-rock and pop-punk banRAB who put in a 3 measure long screeching guitar solo mislabeled as progressive and tech metal. Everyone will associate a fashion with your music, and eventually the music will become second to that fashion. The masses with throw stupid stereotypes onto said style and anyone who may listen to the poorly labeled hybrid genre. Just like what happened with emo, you unhappy, slit your wrist metal kiRAB.
