Metal; anyone listen to this?

[littleboy6326]

I meant the "Music sucks except the 80's / 70's/ 60's / delete as appropriate"

I hear enough of it from "metal heads" and suchforth for years, not to mention my dad. "Oh they're rubbish, everyones rubbish since Queen / Beatles"
Music changes, style changes, tastes change. Doesn't make it any less relevant than what you listened too.

And yes, Beethoven's third is rather good.

Ah.

I wouldn't go as far as to say music nowadays sucks, but it seems to be a lot more image based, than skill based. If that makes sense?
Trivium, for example, I saw when I went to see Maiden on December 22nd. They're terrible live, but everyone loves them just because of the attitude they give out.

I prefer to listen to music that you can appreciate, and think "Wow, that's nuts!", whenever you play it.

I'm a lover of metal/bm/dm/gc and i really don't think the new bands suck. As long as they stick to making music instead of selling records, most commercial music nowadays is real bad, but it was the same way back then. Now, we only hear the "gold classics", but boy, what a bad music did they make back then. In 40 years we will only hear the good songs from now.

I should hope so. I'm getting pretty sick of the whole Trivium/Dragonforce/Cradle of Filth fad.

Dang, as one of the oldsters here--one who listened to bands like Elf, Rush, and Black Sabbath when she was a teen--I don't think the new bands suck whatsoever. Well, maybe a few, but that holds true for any decade. But I admire the raw energy and power of other bands that are out now. Some of which have even been around for a while. Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Disturbed, Incubus, Jane's Addiction, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Alice in Chains--they are all great bands. And in fact some of the bands currently out there are much better than the metal that was out in the 70's and 80's. After all, back then, Van Halen and Bon Jovi were considered to be metal. lol.

You might not have been around in the 60's, 70's, and 80's to hear some of the really bad music that was out then. Only the good stuff survived.

Geddy Lee is a metal god.

Geddy Lee is a metal god.

Oooh, another Rush fan! I love 2112. And I don't care how old it is.

And just for the record (saw this on another thread), Led Zeppelin was never considered metal. Ever. And I was there--well, maybe not old enough to appreciate their first 4 albums. But I did cut my teeth on Houses of the Holy. Not metal. Rock. Hard rock. Metal didn't really come out til Bon Jovi and Van Halen and Metallica--when all of the big hair was in.

Music. There, just music.

Anyone like Alcest?

I have 16 genres of metal, all up over 87 hours of just metal

but these days I mainly listen to indie

I could -Admittedly with the help of a neato list- Give you every Genre of music ever devised (Up til the point where said list was created- 787 of them infact.
Of course, I should note that some of them are horribly obscure, apply to a single artist or are just outright odd.

The criteria to add a genre is very, very simple: No making up genres. To be added, there must exist some music of that genre. If I do a Google search for your genre I expect to find something. Other than that: wide open.

[yanni.depp]

Music has become too analytical for its own good, show me a band that epitomises metal as a genre, chances are its acknowledged genres has a few prefixes slapped on it

Actually, few is probably an understatement
