I was raised on all things metal. Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer turned into Sound Garden, and Pearl Jam. I grew out of it because it wasn't going anywhere, and then later on I found it wasn't really going anywhere to begin with. I listen to bands like KMFDM and Disturbed now and again, but mostly I cant get into the genre anymore. There just seems so much more to be desired

Ssh, I only tried to expand my list. :wink:

Seriously, I couldn't think of other genres related to Metal except for those.

Some Technical Death Metal annoys me as well, but that's another story. :)


Well what about Heavy Metal......like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, that is good metal.

Metal bands that are unable to keep time annoy me the most, boring simple metal is almost as bad :/
Yay for Opeth being on the first page

Caesium or thallium, either one of those injected in your sushi and you're a goner.

Same'ish - Antrhax, Metallica, Pantera, also liked a lot of skater thrash and alternative (Suicidal Tendencies, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, etc.). I think the trouble was; all the creative stuff or deep content type ish - ie. Tool, Alice In Chains, etc. just fell down. Somehow we had loads of depth in it when I was a kid (early 90's) now if you want anything that will move you you're stuck looking to the UK.

These days my name says most of what you need to know - dark jungle, deeper/more ambient dubstep, physicalistic ambient, IDM, anything with a mood that can pull me in head first. That's something that I got used to back in the early 90's when we were making stuff like that, these days electronic seems like the freshest thing out there ATM and its been that way it seems for the past decade (well... outside of Muse, Killers, etc.). Hopefully the US will deal with its confines a little or have some record labels who aren't avidly fighting progress to keep us as sonically backward as possible.

I change my answer to just nu-metal. Holy s**t. Worst thing I've ever heard.

Nu-metal was basically a by-product of MTV that died in 2003.

worst type of metal ?

i am quite uneasy around magnesium. i do not like it. i always carry a lighter even though i do not smoke.

one day i am afraid i may go beserk and lose control and employ my lighter with gay abandon within a stockyard of magnesium, and then i will be very sorry. i must stay clear of stockpiles of magnesium for my own safety.

Personally, I really dislike rapcore and all other metal with rap or hip hop in it.

True, Maiden and Priest defined metal as a whole, but Black Sabbath were the originators WAY before Ozzy sold his soul to MTV and became a tool of the media. Maiden are still legends though :)

People just need to be exposed to the good stuff. For example:

Any of the washed-up pop metal bands that litter Kerrang's playlist. I can tolerate screaming if the lyrics have a strong meaning, but these guys have no soul. Nu-metal is terrible as well, but that's a given.

sludge metal. cannot stand. lacks melody whatsoever...
and the new electronica/emo/screamo/death metal hybrid genre...

good metal... death metal, doom metal, black metal, funeral doom, drone doom, drone...

Yes Jory! Our Metal tastes must be the same. Testament are really underrated. :D
