[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]the levels of insecurity in this thread are nearly drowning me. -Chimera-

It's a music thread on an internet forum. You're asking for too much if you expect these sorts of threads to amount to more than that.

Threads like this are why I prefer not to go past stating my musical preferences.

I don't care what anyone enjoys music wise but it does irritate when they assume that if you disagree with their opinion it's due to ignorance.

If you've actually heard the song, Ozzy pulls it off fairly decently. :P

chessmaster1989

Dio could do better. He may not have the stage presence of Ozzy, but he's a far better vocalist.

I actually saw Heaven & Hell (Dio-era Sabbath under a different name), and Dio had great stage presence. Then again, I haven't seen Ozzy Sabbath in concert, so I can't really compare them...

Yeah, well Ozzy may not be that great a singer, but at least he used to eat stuff onstage and throw buckets of water on people. Dio just kind of plays with his mic stand and walks around a bit, mostly using gestures.

That's how a lot of internet forums are, strangely enough. Probably explains why 75% of the metal heads I see are pale, greasy, and sport long hair. Metal gets most of its exposure on the internet so I guess it makes some sense.

I've got pale skin, but I don't really fit into the other stereotypes.

Well, I don't have a buzzcut, but my hair isn't that long.

But then again you said 75%, so whatever.

What other metal is there like Rhapsody of Fire? Clean vocals, clear melody, nice symphonic sound?PannicAtack

Try Lacrimosa, Haggard, Therion, and Within Temptation.

Don't worry about it. I'm not saying all metal heads are like that. It's just what I've encountered in high school. Except my original figure based on experience is closer to 90% :P

I went through a phase during high school where I listened to lots of thrash metal. Then, as I started studying different genres of music my tastes matured and I moved on to better things.

KHAndAnime

What did you move onto?

I began to study jazz and classical guitar as I went to university and started to listen to a lot more jazz. Hard Bop, like early Miles Davis. In the classical genre I got really into Romantic period music and French Impressionist music such as Ravel and Debussy. As far as rock music I got into more alternative rock music such as Radiohead, Portishead and Beck. I've always been a huge Beatles fan too. Also got into genres like shoegaze represented by bands like "My Bloody Valentine". More recently I've been trying to check out the indie scene of music and am really digging Fleet Foxes at the moment.

with a name like "Death" I doubt anyone besides you likes this. I don't see the appeal. And If I don't like metal in general, why would I like this song?

Indeed, but Metal is a strong, spirited music genre, and so are its people tough and hardy, so ITS OKAY.

If this was in the real world all I have to do is go "demonic" and start beating and chasing people here. Problem solved. :twisted:

[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]while chuck S' death is an amazing band, and arguably the best DM band. Death is not really an accessable band to show people that think metal is worthless. if you want to convert people, you need to give them a song / artist that they cant complain about, because they are going to look for anything to bash. so the vocalist needs to be good, and the music technical, the lyrics not stupid or corny.jaydough
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8p9c1o1u_U
Pretty much everything you asked for.

you obviously dont know me . also that band has two things that scream cheese - melodic and power. i said ud want something no one can bash, melodic anything is cheesy and power metal screams cheese.

Nothing is collectively considered "good" in metal bud. If you don't like it, then it's garbage. Don't apply it to the whole genre.

That's actually a good song to get people into Metal, at least that's how it was for me.
