I cannot believe only one person mentioned System of a Down. Probably one of the best bands ever. I cannot name a single song on their albums that I do not enjoy listening to. You should also try Serj Tankian's solo album: "Elect the Dead".

Go hang yourself. Now.

I understand Pig Destroyer very clearly, call it an aquired ability, but it's not hard at all. Their lyrics are very dark and morbid, with a hint of poetry in their style of writing. They're my favorite thrash metal band.
 
Pig Destroyer is no thrash metal, you have no idea what you are talking about....

You don't even know what Thrash metal is at ALL, because pig destroyer is DEATH METAL, or even GRINDCORE, this is thrash metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z-hEyVQDRA (Metallica, maybe the most known Thrash Metal Band, or Megadeth ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv6psE7l7rk ), they are partially thrash too.)

Growl Metal is most times: Death, Dark or Black Metal, or Grindcore... (Death Metal for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Hv0tsvpyU )


BTW: It is even written in the informations of your posted clip that it is GRINDCORE... reading -> telling, Saken.

BTW2: System of a Down is a damn mainstream shit band with a insane singer who can't sing properly at all...

Pig Destroyer is a mix of Grindcore, Death Metal, and Thrash. I just use the Thrash genre when describing them because of their fast percussive and low-register guitar riffs, not to mention their fast and almost relentless drumming style. Their myspace even says they're Grindcore, Death Metal, and Thrash.

I also forgot to mention the two bands, Ghengis Tron and High On Fire. Two more good metal bands.
 
AC/DC
Helloween
Pink Cream 69 (old band that Andi Deris was before joining Helloween)
Motörhead
Metallica
Twisted Sister
Sodom
Hammerfall
Quiet Riot
KISS
Crashdiet
Mötley Crue
Guns n' Roses (old albuns)
Bruce Dickinson (solo. Iron Maiden suck)
Nuclear Assault
Slayer
Dio
Madmax
Real Steel
Black Sabbath (old albuns, when Dio was in the vocals. He kicks ozzy's butt)
Faith no More
Lordi
Anthrax
Cinderella
Liege Lord
Sepultura (old albums)
Green Jelly
Tankard
Overkill

Who tried to kill the metal?

Congrats, you proved to us all you don't know the difference between hardcore techno, and hardcore metal. Now if you'll excuse yourself from the thread, we'll all be better off without your lack of knowledge.

Your link was to hardcore techno group.

This is a link to a hardcore metal band... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUC54eD4ylg

That would be, per def, metalcore, not hardcore.
 
Grunge tried to kill the Metal, ha ha ha ha ha, they FAILED! as they were thrown to the ground!



Grunge DID killed Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

On 90s when grunge came, everyone stoped to listen heavy and hard. When grunge died on the middle of 90s, everyone went to Rap and Techno. With Heavy Metal and Hard Rock destroyed, the Rock scene got heavly damaged.

The only variants that still have some chance to save the Metal's legacy are the Thrash Metal and the Power Metal.

If you still have doubt of me, please, ansewer: Why there are no new Heavy Metal and Hard Rock bands arround?

Try:

Metal/Hardcore: Andromeda, Dimmu Borgir, Dream Theater, Electric Wizard, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Ministry, The Misfits, Nightwish, Rush, Sonata Arctica, Symphony X, Volbeat
Alternative: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Death From Above 1979, Japandroids, Kyuss, Muse (first 3 albums), My Bloody Valentine, Neutral Milk Hotel, Nirvana, No Age, The Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, Silversun Pickups, Slint, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, The Stone Roses, Syntax, Violent Femmes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs

In my opinion, there isn't even such thing as "heavy metal". That's just a term that non-metal fans use.

It's hardcore, don't even try to say otherwise. Hatebreed is all about being the best hardcore band from New York, and in my opinion, the best hardcore band ever. Metalcore is just another one of those made up genres that's a mix of everything and sounds like everything.

They didn't go to rap, they went to hip hop. Rap was in the late 80's, and 90's.

Power metal is retarded. It sounds like medicore 80's metal made a baby with a christian rock band, and then it got modernized instrument wise. If you say you're a true metal fan, and the majority of your taste is stuck in the power metal genre, you're a disgrace. I mean, metal is suppose to be loud, in your face, and not something you'd expect a child to listen to. Powermetal just seems to be one of those gateway genres where you start off listening to it, and then a few years later, you find yourself actually growing up and listening to bands who are so much better. Sorry to rant and all, but I absolutely hate power metal and the pathetic bands that fall under it's genre. I prefer hardcore, death metal, black metal, and good ol' thrash metal. I also like to dabble with some grindcore too, but I usually most bands are too shitty to give the other good grindcore bands a good name for it's genre.

Back onto what I quoted from you, why are there arn't anymore new heavy metal and hard rock bands? There are new ones, they're just harder to find. The media through radio, TV, movies, and such don't give enough credit and airtime to actual good heavy metal and hard rock bands. Take a look at what is airing all the time, the same generic bull crap that pre-teens and middle aged divorced women listen to on the radio. Now days in music, it's all about who's sponsoring you, or who you're with, rather then the raw talent that you possess. That's the only reason you hear so much about all these Disney pop groups and singers, rather then a good hard rock band. Society all together is just shooting itself in the foot when the masses of idiots find pop and hip-hop music more interesting rather then a good rock band. Times changed, and it seems rock music will die out, but times will always change again, hopefully, and more people will start hearing about rock bands rather then Jonas Brother clones.

No, they are mainstream because so many people who have no idea what good music is like them. Just like my rant about popular hip-hop and pop bands, SoaD was one of those that was played more on the radio, thus reaching out to pre-teens and other people who didn't know any better. Honestly, their first CD was pretty decent, and really heavy. After that though, it was softer then a piece of crap after someone took a stool softener.
 
Maker, you have no fucking idea...

Just a tip, I am a metal fan, i like HEAVY METAL, and not death metal, black metal or thrash metal, I will show you what 100% heavy metal is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3nxGaveMRk (Pirate Heavy Metal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DhJjACUKf8 (Heavy Metal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOp8Zz50f6U (Heavy Metal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ6GP_y7rVg (HEAVY metal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc2JYcolphY (heavy metal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBuDoVYON68 (hard rock/heavy metal, mostly heavy metal)

These all are official heavy metal bands, they call themselve that, they are classified that.

Heavy Metal was actually the FIRST metal, he came from america, the bikers where the first which made that music, it was a sign of freedom and was evolved from the hard rock which was started by for example led zeppelin, heavy metal is a much more faster hard rock with a much more aggressive playing style in case of all instruments, definition on wikipedia:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal

Some people abuse the genre "Heavy Metal" for... metal which is loud, actually it is a very concrete genre of metal, for example some people call dimmu borqir "heavy metal" which is wrong, dimmu borqir is meldodic death metal, they just call it like that because dimmu borqir sounds "heavy"... complete bullshit.


ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS HARDCORE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmR4cMs14p4

HATEBREED IS FUCKING ALTERNATIVE METAL/METALCORE hybrid.

To Saken: There is no official metal genre which is called "hardcore metal", I can give you the names of ALL metal genres, which are listed. Hardcore Metal is once again a kiddy style usage of a phrase for describing "very hard metal" hahaha, fool. (Link to one of the lists: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal#Substile) (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatebreed this is hatebreed... and their music style... where is there hardcore metal? fool, it is hardcore metalcore, which is a mix of alternative and metalcore... like I said)

I believe the name of the thread was rock bands. Not heavy metal rock bands in particular. Also, I have in my entire life never heard System of a Down on the radio. The first time I heard them was by accident on YouTube, it had 3 million views back then, now something like 40 (only 10 of those are from me).

No one's name is Maker.

Contradiction. "I am a metal fan, I like HEAVY METAL, and not death metal, black metal, or thrash metal," You can't call yourself a metal fan if you only like Heavy Metal. that would make you a fan of Heavy Metal, not metal.


• Pirate anything is seriously retarded. The band blows anyways.

• Sucked terribly. The singer should be inhaling oxygen from a mask rather then rasping his voice like that. It just sounds absoultely terrible. The band wasn't even that great either, music wise.

• The music was better here, but the singer just shot the whole band in the foot. Again, he is absoultely terrible. Where do you find these bands anyways?

• Music started off okay, guitar and drums were pretty sweet, but wait, the singer yet again sounded like he had just deep throated a humpback whale and was trying to sing in that monotonous mono-tone generic voice.

• Sounded like a clone of Avenge Seven Fold, which is one of the most terrible main stream pussy metal bands out there.

These all are official heavy metal bands, they call themselve that, they are classified that.

They can also be classified as shitty too. None of them can even touch Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Metallica, Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, or Motorhead.

Heavy Metal was actually the FIRST metal, he came from america, the bikers where the first which made that music, it was a sign of freedom and was evolved from the hard rock which was started by for example led zeppelin, heavy metal is a much more faster hard rock with a much more aggressive playing style in case of all instruments, definition on wikipedia:

Wrong. Heavy Metal was started in the late 1960s and early 1970s in England AND America. Heavy Metal was influenced by blue's-rock and physcodelic rock. Not made up by bikers.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal

Wikipedia is a site where anyone can put up information on there, be it right or wrong. Don't just automatically assume that everything you see on there is truth. Plus your link was not in English.

Some people abuse the genre "Heavy Metal" for... metal which is loud, actually it is a very concrete genre of metal, for example some people call dimmu borqir "heavy metal" which is wrong, dimmu borqir is meldodic death metal, they just call it like that because dimmu borqir sounds "heavy"... complete bullshit.

They're black metal/doom metal. Black metal has melodic tendancies, but your assumption on calling Dimmu Borgir melodic metal is wrong. Seen them live in concert? Doubt you have, but I've seen them. I've got their music on my phone, computer, and have been listening to them since Progencies came out. You're really not as knowledgable as you think you are about metal genres, or metal other than your two-bit heavy metal that you listen to.


You just proved your stupidity once more by confusing hardcore techno with hardcore metal. Please hang yourself with your mouse and/or keyboard chord(s).

HATEBREED IS FUCKING ALTERNATIVE METAL/METALCORE hybrid.

You're an idiot. Hatebreed is Hardcore, says so on their myspace and their own website. I saw them live in concert and they even introduced themselves as a hardcore band. You're misinterpreting their music, how about you stick to your babyish power and heavy metal, and I'll stick to my manly thrash, death, black, and hardcore metal, hm?

To Saken: There is no official metal genre which is called "hardcore metal", I can give you the names of ALL metal genres, which are listed. Hardcore Metal is once again a kiddy style usage of a phrase for describing "very hard metal" hahaha, fool. (Link to one of the lists: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal#Substile) (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatebreed this is hatebreed... and their music style... where is there hardcore metal? fool, it is hardcore metalcore, which is a mix of alternative and metalcore... like I said)

There is, you've already proven how terrible your abiluty to do research on the internet, and how flawed your statements are when it comes to hardcore metal.

"Hatebreed Is Now The First Hardcore Band In History To Scan Over 1 Million Cumulative Units In The United States Alone

(New York, NY) — Hardcore / metal heavyweights HATEBREED sold 15,500 copies in the United States in its first week at retail landing at position No. 37 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Independent Chart. The album is the band’s 3rd consecutive official album release to debut on the Billboard Top 40.

With the release of its new self-titled album, HATEBREED becomes the first hardcore band in history to cross the soundscan threshold of 1 million cumulative units sold."


Quoted from their website. http://www.hatebreed.com

where is there hardcore metal? fool, it is hardcore metalcore, which is a mix of alternative and metalcore... like I said)

I had to point out your flaw here...

In bold, underline, and italics... hardcore metal.

In just italics... alternative and metalcore.

Using your own words... how does hardcore metalcore = to alternative and metalcore. It'd equal to hardcore metalcore if we were to use your words, and simple context clues to figure out what you just said there. You just through in alternative because you have absoultely no idea what you're talking about.

I've noticed something, all people who listen to Dimmu Borgir also listen to Arch Enemy :D Those two bands are sorta completely different, but seems people like them both, and so do I. Also, Arch Enemy is melodic death metal, and Dimmu Borgir is symphonic black metal. But however, as much as genre definitions in metal make sense, they are also retarded when you try to explain it to a non-metal person, or a person who only listens to certain genre. It just doesn't work, they don't see the difference.
 
Saken, shut up, thanks, none of the bands you counted as "better" are even heavy metal (not none... but just 2.. and those got the same typical metal voice as those I counted.) (you cannot compare apples with bananas... ), and your taste is really bad, better go listen to pop&rock, there you are happier.

And thats once again bullshit, you cannot say that metalcore is metal, because it is something completely different in case of nearly everything... but go on talking kid.

And there is someone named Maker which posted in this thread, now... stop talking, you are just a screamo whiny guy who wants to go on my nerves and wants attention, go get some taste for music.

And those bands I posted are some of the ancestors of this buisness, Running Wild has more as 15 million fans ++ and is already around 33 years old. U.D.O is existent since 1987, so 22 years old, Accept is there since 1971, so since 28 years.... (is now not anymore, the band split and formed U.D.O, you did not even know that by hearing the voice, so your talent for metal voices is bullshit), Grave Digger is there since 1980, so again 29 years, these bands cannot be copies of your low-class mainstream shit, because they are their ancestors, your bands copied them, and its not worth talking with you about some good bands, because your taste for metal is worse than anything Ive ever heard.

And just to give you a idea: I like heavy metal, and I never said that I don't like other metal, just those I counted explicitely, I like Folk Metal, Folk Rock, Hair Metal, Shock Rock, Power Metal, and more.

Well honestly, black metal and death metal are the easiest subclasses to recognize; it's all a matter of lyrics. Like for Dimmu, "Satan, My Master!!" is clearly black metal/satanic/anti-christian' etc. For Arch Enemy, "Dead bury their dead" clearly relates to death.

Only thing I can't see by myself is the "symphonic" and "melodic/melodeath" part. I need to google it to know it :D

Saken, shut up, thanks,

No thanks, lol. I enjoy seeing the stupidyt that spews from the tips of your fingers when you type.

none of the bands you counted as "better" are even heavy metal (not none... but just 2.. and those got the same typical metal voice as those I counted.) (you cannot compare apples with bananas... ),/QUOTE]

Contradiction, and yes they are all better, and variants of heavy metal if not straight up heavy metal. They were all within the same era or followed soon after. They are all better then the shit you listed. End of discussion.

You can compare apples to bannanas because they're both fruit.

and your taste is really bad, better go listen to pop&rock, there you are happier.[Q/UOTE]

Are you telling me this because the crap you listen to sinks to the level of pop music? My taste is mine, and it is a refined one. I listen to what sounds good, what is unique and very powerful both in lyrics/vocals and in overall musicianship. I don't listen to a handful of bands that all sound and suck all the same like you do.

And thats once again bullshit, you cannot say that metalcore is metal, because it is something completely different in case of nearly everything... but go on talking kid.

And you're how old? From your inexperience in overall metal knowledge, you seem to be the kid here.

Also, look at the quote for the flaws in your logic. Congrats, I just proved you wrong yet again. Keep on trying, you'll only humiliate yourself even more.

stop talking, you are just a screamo whiny guy who wants to go on my nerves and wants attention, go get some taste for music.

• Screamo isn't a genre.
• You're the one whining.
• I'm pointing out your stupidity and all your contradictions.
• You're only humiliating yourself.
• You're letting me get on your nerves.
• This is the internet...
• My list in the beginning of this thread is very broad and consists of more metal and rock. That is my taste, a sweet and delectable taste.
• Your taste so far as been a q-tip swab from inside a dogs rectum.

And those bands I posted are some of the ancestors of this buisness, Running Wild has more as 15 million fans ++ and is already around 33 years old. U.D.O is existent since 1987, so 22 years old, Accept is there since 1971, so since 28 years.... (is now not anymore, the band split and formed U.D.O, you did not even know that by hearing the voice, so your talent for metal voices is bullshit), Grave Digger is there since 1980, so again 29 years, these bands cannot be copies of your low-class mainstream shit, because they are their ancestors, your bands copied them, and its not worth talking with you about some good bands, because your taste for metal is worse than anything Ive ever heard.

Good for you. You like the old stuff that was very limited and generally was good for its time, but has been surpassed and blown away by a lot of the more recent bands. Even then, Hatebreed has been around for 17 years. Tool has been around for 19 years. Just because what you listen to might've been some of the foundation for a lot of bands today, doesn't mean everything I listen to were influenced by those old shitty bands. A lot were influenced by bands that I do like. Like Slayer, Pink Floyd, Led Zeplin, Motorhead, Motley Crue, Death, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.

This is all your taste, your perception, and your interpretation of metal, which just by using the example where you confuse hardcore techno with hardcore metal, your perception and interpretation of metal is a seriously flawed and twisted one. Also, I stray away from mainstream, because that's where bands sell out and suck hard like the stuff you listen to. They go soft, and lose their metal roots that got them started in the first place. Now tell me... is Waking the Cadaver mainstream? Hatebreed? Animosity? Behemoth? Dimmu Borgir? Amon Amarth? As Blood runs Black? The Black Dahlia Murder? Arsonists Get All The Girls? Brujeria? Asesino? Emperyean Eclipse? No? Thought so. And that's just a sample of my bands. Now...
Get the fuck out.

And just to give you a idea: I like heavy metal, and I never said that I don't like other metal, just those I counted explicitely, I like Folk Metal, Folk Rock, Hair Metal, Shock Rock, Power Metal, and more.

In other words, metal that is no where brutal, intense, and captivating power, sound, and musciainship wise? You seem to like music that is very dull, repetitive, and soft compared to what I listen to.

Stop arguing about the most pointless, ridiculously irrelevant things. Slapping a genre on a song isn't going to do anything to the song; thus, arguing about which genre was slapped onto the song is even more of a waste of time.

If you want to discuss music, instead of spewing all the random knowledge you picked up on the internet, be my guest. Otherwise, you're not contributing to this thread at all.
 
CoB also tends to be symphonic at times. Dimmu borgir was a mix between symphonic and melodic back in time, but is completely symphonic now. However, Dimmu Borgir is a mad mix of genres if you analyze all their songs, because as same as two songs may seem, a lot of songs are completely different to each other. (The Conspiracy Unfolds is much different from The Serpentine Offering and Sacreligious Scorn, which are alike in sound and song structure).

And, as much as people call it symphonic, nightwish tends to be MELODIC much more, because it simply uses synth stuff, and not real instruments. Toumas' motto: "Use anything you got, just try to make it sound good.".

I am discussing music, have been all along. Sorry for defending my choice of music when redscores came along and insulted the integrity of the music I listen to with his blind ignorance and obvious lack of knowledge of more then just what he listens to. I feel I've already proved my point several times, so I'll just drop the heated arguement. Whatever he has to say next will probably just be more trash, so I'll ignore it.

I've pretty much fallen in love with Radiohead in the last few days. Their discography is pretty big, though, so be sure to check out these songs in particular, because made of pure win:
2+2=5
Paranoid Android
Karma Police
You

I basically just started listening to them though, so I'm bound to find some more awesome songs.
