i saw em in 92 with type o negative when type o was on the tragical misery tour. closest thing to a religious experience i've ever had. Chris DeGarmo and Geoff Tate are AMAZING songwriters and the band as a whole is just so tight. For my dollar, Operation: MindCrime is the best metal album ever recorded.

awesome thread by the way. no need for "metal snobs" saying whats metal and whats not. dude, if you can bang your head to it, and your mom hates it... it's metal.

I might agree with you that Mindcrime is the best metal album ever. I haven't listened to it in quite a while, but I would still know all of the lyrics.

So now im talking down on people for pointing out that a certain genre of music is not metal and that your whole criteria for calling something metal is the fact that the singer screams. Wow that's like saying "if it has scales then its a snake to me" how narrow minded. And as for the whole metallica comment who cares if you don't like them I haven't liked anything of theirs. I just don't understand where all these emo kids take off their make up, turn up the distortion and start screaming makes it metal. Whatever i guess to each his own you stay with your scremo and I will stay with real metal. And no screaming does not make something metal there are numerous bands whom don't scream at all. Just FYI.

True that. What about your dad?

Ok my turn now, you guys listen to many stuff i've never heard, and we'll allways have diferrent opinions, but from a portuguese point of view:


Pantera - you can't stop loving A Vulgar Display of Power, that's all that is and much more

Metallica - What???? until black album, that's the best there is, ok my fav is master but they ruled the earth with black

Sepultura - Brute Brasilian POWER Agressive music for the masses

Ratos do porão - Another brasilian punk/metal band that no one talks about, try listening to just another crime in massacre land

Machine head - Great first album

Tool -fabulous in every way

Isis - Strange experience

MASTODON - The best 2009 album, the band that brought metal to life again, extreme

Slayer - Altough it's not one of my fav's great power band, real aggressive.....


I could go on forever



And what makes a metal band??????
Surelly not those little techique guitar players with tight shorts and crasy makeup hair but the feeling, the agression, the power that they thrive into the music, Dream Theater and such as them, baHHHHHH, ok they play like crazy but........they are just little wusses........


Welll.........

so by your logic punk is metal?????? They bang their heads and even pit hell they invented pitting. And yes I am a "metal snob" I don't like things that are clearly not something being put into that category, especially when its something I am so passionate about.
Do you not get upset when someone confuses your harmless ball python for a cobra or act as if its just as dangerous. two completely different things confused for one another
Well thats kind of how I feel with this subject. Someone blatantly confusing metal with hardcore ticks me off. Sorry but thats how i am I like things to be correct.

Some of us may just have to agree to disagree I guess. There are some really great bands listed.

I completely agree... I still have the cd loaded in my truck and listen to it about once a week...

"I'm the new Messiah, Death Angel with a gun. Dangerous in my silence, deadly to my cause..."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... :headbang::headbang:

sg1trogdor, I agree with you on the classification of the music. Metal is metal, period. Just because you may like some of the bands listed does not mean they are metal. They may be good, but being good does not make them metal. Myself, I could not tell you anything about the newer metal out there, but I can tell if it is metal or not.

Got to give some local bands some support. Check out
www.myspace.com/Ofmachines (tight pants crazy hair screamo band)
www.myspace.com/sendtheseraph (tight pants crazy hair screamo band)
www.myspace.com/ohbeliever
www.myspace.com/restassured
www.myspace.com/morethenconquerors
www.myspace.com/yourchancetodie (amazing female vocalist)
www.myspace.com/wesailatdawn

With risk of getting bombarded with opinions of whether this is metal or not with my list lol i will post what was considered metal at one time when i was younger to what I like today...again this is not a list of what metal is today but what i considered and consider metal....

Ozzy
Metallica up to Metallica Black
Godsmack
Korn
Rob/White Zombie
Guns and Roses "Appetite"
Black Sabbath
Lamb of God
Slayer
Megadeth

The bassist made the best faces when he was playing. I loved his style and bass slapping. Didn't really like much after the first album though.

Thank you thats all I am trying to get across here but I am being made out to be some hate monger, and apparently speaking down on people although I have no said anything bad about anyone or the music just that its not metal. I take that back I believe I mentions they scream like pansies. lol.

Children of bodom are amazing. best keyboard player ever!

COB does have an amazing keyboardist but when it comes to metal guitarists... Alexi Laiho is one of the best out there!

Yea I watched some thing on line about how they work together writing the guitar parts and keyboard parts together so they flow smooth together. I also think alexi plays the best guitars also. I love esp

Alexi's gear is stripped down, he plays purely on his skill. I love watchin' him play. Very very very very smooth and yeah youtube him and the keyboardist having a little mini showdown. It's awesome!

Job for a Cowboy
The Agonist
Behemoth
Winds Of Plague
Whitechapel
Emmure
Remembering Never
Misery Signals

-Thats a start....and for anyone who dont know who Job for a cowboy is, let me tell ya, Their not country music...!

Winds Of Plague
Whitechapel
Are amazing live

Carcass
Cattle Decap.
Obituary
DEICIDE!!!
Nile
Beneath The Massacre
At The Gate
Animosity
EARLY lamb of god/ burn the priest

Alexi's guitar is a knock off version of the Jackson Randy Rhoads. ESP got sued for making the Alexi Laiho signatures too similar to the Jackson Randy Rhoads. I have went Jackson Guitars and I am sticking with them!They are IMO the best quality guitar you can every buy, even if you buy the junior series axes, they are still amazing!

I like esp and jackson.l Im not to big a fan of the randy rhoads style guitars I think there great guitars and sound amazing I just dont like the feel of them

Trivium
All That Remains
Behemoth
Amon Amarth
Black Dahlia Murder
Slipknot
Killswitch
Austrian Death Machine
Thers so many more but I cant think of all of them at the moment.

Even though my dream guitar is the randy rhoads, it would be hard for me to accept playing it. Randy Rhoads are made for purely rock and metal, but sometimes I like to play different stuff, so I am going to stick with the soloist.

I agree I don't like the feel of V's at all. They look cool and sound great but I would take all the guts out and put them in a standard ax body which they already have lol.

I like his style of playing also with his keys tilted like he plays them

I think Alexi is a really strong player. Not a fan of his sig guitars or Rhoads models. I've tried em all pretty much and I love Ernie Ball Music Man guitars. Petrucci model plays super smooth.

Slayer
Neurosis
Pantera
superjoint Ritual
Ministry

Cannibal Corpse
Cattle Decapitation
Goatwhore
Lamb of God

Slipknot
Lamb Of God
Killswitch Engage
Mastodon

dude you listen to so dope bands :gj::gj:

Between the Buried and Me... Forgot about that one.

I'm not sayin' I love Laiho's guitar though, personally a schecter fan and I love my dean razorback but I don't think it matters what guitar Alexi plays, he'll shred it until there is nothing left. I agree not a huge "V" fan.

yes. by my logic punk is metal. i'm sorry your fanzines or whatever have told you otherwise. i think that if you spent a little less time hating on the things that do not fall into your little pre-determined categories, you might be introduced to some really awesome new music. and although no one has ever confused my ball python for a cobra (much more ridiculous comparison than punk to metal), i don't think i would get all worked up about it.

Not exactly sure what a "fanzine" is supposed to be but sure why not buddy. I am assuming you meant magazine but couldn't figure out how to spell it. It's ok I forget things sometimes also, it's just part of the human condition. Your such a genius and know everything why don't you tell me what "predetermined categories" of music I like. Just because I don't like scrEMO don't mean that I don't listen to many other types of music.
Classic rock, rock and roll, jazz, blues, rap (mostly old), Spanish music don't really matter which, crossover which is a kinda punk thrash mix of music, techno, trance, motown, you name it and I probably listen to it minus the whole emo, scremo, hardcore, movement of music oh and most country I have heard an few good ones but don't know who it was. Just can't get into it.
And no punk is not metal. So you are saying blondie, the clash, and GBH are metal. I would really like you to explain that??? And please no vague answers such as, because. Also I apologize for being so late to reply on this. I had honestly forgotten about it until I noticed that I have negative rep because someone got their feeling hurt booh who who.

1.Metallic, old and new
2.seether
3.Shinedown
