Favorite band/artist?

[Roofus]

T'was a joke - most of those bands are "metal" or a derirative thereof, wheras Blink 182, Sum 41, and Green Day are pop-punk bands.

[SmirGel]

actually all the bands are metal except those

I think what Roofus meant by that is other "genres" of metal like Thrash metal, for example.

[SmirGel]

true but ya metal and metal sub genres ^^

but less punk rock for sure

Owl City is my favorite artist to listen to ever.  Their song If My Heart Was a House is my all time favorite of theirs.

[Itami / Suki]

i have a few new faves Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, and a fellow furry, KyoPandaFox on FA! Look him up if you like deathcore or hard metal! ^^ (btw Megan, DISTURBED FTW!!!!!! "Disturbed in the house, we're droppin' plates on your ass!" X3)

[Roofus]

And The Bluetones aren't....there is no justice.

Meh, nothing against them....just find it a little funny that men in their 30s are still singing songs about teenage angst

actually I think Iron Maiden and those band which were made around 1960-80 are grand paps. Honestly they play TOO LIGHT metal

if you listen guys like Heaven Shall Burn, Neaera, Blinded Colony, The Unguided, In Flames, Scar Summetry, Shadows Fall, Soilwork, SlipKnoT, Lamb Of God  etc they're 10x better metal

those metallica and so on are just....well I leave that out but you know...not my taste at least

May I point out that metal=/=screaming with loud guitars playing the same riff.

You'll find bands like Slipknot, In Flames, Soilwork and Scar Summetry are pretty much Nu-Wave. The only reason LoG are heavier is cause they work on being heavier. Bands like Iron maiden, Diamondhead, Metallica, Anthrax etc, They don't work on being heavier.

[SmirGel]

Soilwork = death metal
SlipKnoT = Nu Metal
In Flames = Death Metal/heavy metal
Scar Summetry = Modern Melodic Death Metal/Death Metal
LoG = Groove/black Metal


personally I don't like that nanannanan batman metal music

Trash Metal is always light...

[Itami / Suki]

actually, i agree. iron maiden and the other older metal bands dont have to work on being hard core. they are the so-called fathers of metal and i agree with that! although i do like slipknot and in flames, they have to work to be harder and you can tell in their music, while, lets say... metallica just has the more origional feel to them. am i making any sense to you? < _ _ >

actually no, Cus Ozzy is the father of metal ^__^

main reason why I stopped listening Iron Maiden and why I don't like metallica is because they're too light

Thinned down for space.

Metal is about the riffs. Iommi wrote the riffs, not Ozzy.  Not to say Ozzy didn't help with it lyrically, but it wouldn't be "metal" without Iommi.  One of the first bands to be overtly Satanic in lyrics was Black Widow.  Their singer also played flute.
The C.O.B. song in that list; it's a cover of The Ramones.
Iron Maiden started "galloping" riffs. Look at interviews with alomost all of the guitarists in the bands you listed, and they most likely would list Dave Murray & Adrian Smith(the guitarists in Iron Maiden) as influences.  The hard-edged sound that defines metal wouldn't be what it is witout bands like them.
I don't want to come off as sounding attacking, I'm honestly really sorry if I seem that way, just, you've gotta have some respect for the history of the genre you love.  And, Metallica, soft? The newer stuff, definitely, but give their first album, "Kill 'Em All" a spin. Absolutely great the whole way through.  They had it in them to be absolutely amazing at some point. Too bad it died around "Master Of Puppets."

Back on thread, I've always loved Death, Johnny Winter, Ablert King, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Kraftwerk, Manowar, and lately I've been really getting into Spor and Ghost.  Yea, death metal, blues, old-school metal, techno-pop, and d'n'b.
