I pretty much laugh my ass off or get nauseous when ever i hear metal music. It all seems so empty and trivial, sorry guys. I hate metal.

I'm not a bifg metal fan here either & death metal is the worst...some moron bellowing out all the time like a braying jackass & all...

i watched Behind the Music: Ratt also. Robbin Crosby...wow, he was a mess.

Ratt were rather poppy metal, but much better most & much better than Poison. C.C. Deville seems like a nice guy (The Surreal Life), but I hate Poison.

to think he was once "the hot one".... (though my crushes were on stephen pearcy and bobby blotzer). right about the time i was really feeling sorry for him he said "i don't want people to feel sorry for me," and that made me feel worse.

the first couple of ratt albums are still good...

on that show today (heavy: the story of metal), there was some stuff about alice cooper & then kiss, ac/dc is up next after the break...

stephen pearcy had a funny comment when asked about kiss: "cha-ching!"

paul stanley (in full make-up, no less) talked about the disastrous "kiss meets the phantom" tv movie

& the best part was when sebastian bach from skid row said that led zeppelin fans used to beat him up for liking kiss...i guess they should have kicked his ass even harder, because skid row sure did suck...

no prob 4 me....just as long as you do not start calling us dumbasses and idiots and whatever some nice people on this board call others just because they like another kind of music...


"YEAH BIATCH, I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!!" :D

Some metal you should check out:

Wolves in the throne Room-American Black Metal
Graves at Sea-Doom
Asunder-Doom
Black Witchery-Black Metal
Buried at Sea-Doom
Baroness-Dont know to describe them. just check them out
Boris-Stoner
Xasthur-Brilliant black metal
Levithan-Black Metal

What's the difference between black, doom and death metal? I just wanna know.

death - very fast, very low tuned guitars, growling d00ds at mike ( "It hast to be faster, it has to be more brutal!" - CC ), lyrics are about blood, death, killin people, sick shit...

black - faster than death, very high tuned guitars (sometimes no bass guitar), screaming guys at mike, lyrics are about hell, devil, darkness, pure evil essence in everyones heart...and death...^^

doom - slow, sad, suicidal...^^


basics...hrhr

(€ sry, my spelling is very bad today...)

Doom metal is slow crushing metal. Probably my favourite.

Black Metal is pretty evil and fast and has a lot of anti christian sentiment.

Death Metal is not my thing so I cant be bothered

Shit descriptions. Just listen to the music and it'll all be good

doom has a pretty evil setiment as well, more sludge.

UNEARTHY TRANCE
slays! get the trident or season of seance, science of silence

some other suggestions, im not extremely well versed in the subject so these are mostly the standards
THE MELVINS
SUNN O))
KHANATE
BLACK FLAG (my war is their more metalish album)
CIRCLE
EARTH
ISIS
SWANS

if your interested in black metal
ABRUMTUM
DARKTHRONE
LEVIATHAN
GORGOROTH
XASTHUR
EMIT

ive seen some grind bands mentioned here but ill stay clear from that, i could go on...

it's all beyond horrible, that much i do know.

I asked this question a while ago, you've provided a suitable answer. Ace, top, thanks, have some kudos.

Anyone who disregards all metal bands hasn't look into it enough. There is more chance of someone who listens to Sonic Youth to enjoy Isis than a fan of Iron Maiden.

Some stuff i enjoy

ISIS
JESU
SUNN O)))
EARTH

i know
kinda standart for a sonic youth geek

but i really can´t stand black metal or death metal
with their super sonic guitar solos
mostly silly lyrics
double kick drum
etc..

but this is just my narrow-minded opinion

Do any of you guys like Between the Buried and Me? They are pretty tight.

i like the silent circus a lot, but i didn't like their last one. very by the numbers "i wanna be in pseudo-headbangers balls" hardcore shite. they used to be ace

Haha, nice answer.

Slayer's Reign In Blood is good
early Metallica is good
Maiden are OK

That is as far as I go....

I like their self titled the best. I thought Alaska had some good moments.

haha, great rock video; been a while...
