New Metallica!! !

Stop talking about metallic substances, this is neither the time nor the place.

Agreed. New Metallica is far from metal. At what point did they get their balls cut off?

defently
what about early ministry. that wasnt metal
and what about the last couple of burzum albums. they werent metal.


ramsamsam you failed to realize this so accept it

This is precisely the time and the place- the only reason this place exists is because each and every one of us was exposed to mercury, right?

please don't make me explain that that was a joke, it was, you get it or you don't

there's plenty of good stuff other than metal, you just have to look for it. stoner rock, ska, reggae, maybe something that is completely experimental and cannot possibly categorized into one genre

stoner rock is a part of metal
ever herd of Kyuss and Fu Manchu
they are metal

hey, not that I'm advicating them (for fear of being eaten alive) but what the hell would you classify Linkin Park as?

BESIDES POP!! !!

Edit: I am very aware they're not at all metal. They're just weird and tough to classify in general.

I think the weirdest thing I like is rai, and I've only ever heard one song in its style so it hardly counts. Desert Rose by sting and Cheb Mami. Totally weird but awesome. You can't listen to it for very long without starting to feel stoned.

Linkin Park is Rap-Rock.

I like almost anything except for metal and most country music. I can tolerate country if I have to, but metal gives me an instant migraine and or meltdown. I can't think at all when it's playing...

Classical: Bach, Vivladi, anything played by Itzhak Perlman or Vanessa Mae.

I tend to like oldies and 80's music.

Elton John, Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, Jill Sobule, R.E.M., Billy Joel, the list goes on...

stoner rock doesn't necessarily have to be metal. have you ever heard Big Elf? ...or more familiarly, what about Pink Floyd

Linkin Park i would categorize as angsty rap. sorry, but that just isn't metal in the least bit.

Oh I KNOW it's not metal, this is the non-metal thread and I've been trying to figure out what they are for awhile.

Linkim Park I thought were 'Nu-Metal' which is crap metal.
Anyone like Aphex Twin?

Linkin Park was popular before the phrase nu-metal was even used, I'm pretty sure they're considered Rap-Rock. Nu-metal is just a word used by people too lazy to think of a genre to place something.

Linkin Park isn't meant to be a real metal band, they're a hybrid of various genres put together and the end result comes closest to what is described as nu-metal.

I've read the history of nu-metal on the net, and nu-metal is not metal, but on it's own there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, he's not half-bad... I like the "Selected Ambient Works" and "I Care Because You Do...."
