Opinions on metal.

So, the "appeal of hard death rock" thread got me curious as to what the general opinions of metal overall were at OT.:P

I think everyone knows what I think:P Metal FTW

Metal is good for the soul...

All that aggression, hate, anti god ideology, and raping of goats.

Its all good.

I like Metallica and Iron Maiden, other than that, I'm not that big on metal.

I love the old classics and such. Most of the new stuff I cant get into. But I will hear stuff my cousin listens to sometimes and its tolerable. Overall, the new stuff is too dang emotional and screaming for me.

It is talentless noise. I'd rather listen to the Jonas Brothers thank you very, very much.

I like it although I don't really care for black metal

I listen to whatever metal sounds good. Old or new, though mostly i find myself listening to more prog metal these days.

It's just a bunch of noise. I just sport this sig 'cuz all the k00l kids are doing it.

.....but seriously, it's great. Best kind of music there is, imo.

Amen to that. Goregrind fans have a saying: Gore, not core.

....and I agree with it

I never really cared much for any kind of metal ever. About the only artists that fit in the general realm of metal that I really liked were Opeth and Meshuggah. The last few weeks however I grew incredibly bored, and thus decided to give a new type of music a try. I decided to go all out and start with death metal. So far, I'm loving it immensely. I think it's my new favorite genre:P I look forward to exploring other sub-genres of metal in the future.

As long as it's not Metalcore or Post-hardcore, then I pretty much love it. :PBladeOfHeaven

You must have a rather strange definition of noise, then. :P

Yup, Grindcore is pretty cool, especially the Death/Grind bands.

Brujeria and Asesino FTW.

It's pretty alright. Though, I haven't listened to nearly enough bands yet.

I'm quite fond of a few bands, enjoy a couple of others from time to time, but dislike the genre as a whole. Most of it bores me.

I forgot to add that Jonascore is my favorite genre. It has the most br00tal breakdowns evar. Randy Rhodes has nothing on Nick Jonas! :P

Its pretty noisy to me :PRikardur

...Wait, your Last.fm "recently listened to" tracks are almost entirely populated by metal bands. :P

Never mind.

Tech, alternative, and melodeath metal for me. a little TINY bit of old school thrash is good, as well as the classics like Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, and Deep Purple.

Any flavour of metal can be good, but there is a lot of cheezy crap metal out there. One needs to employ their own aesthetic judgement on the matter.

Much metal gets lost in translation, especially Scandinavian/European bands that think singing in English will help their cause. They should stick to their native tongue- that way us Westerners will remain bemused and excited, and not think "what a load of crap!".

Well, being a big pop fan... (don't judge me, :cry: ) I do enjoy metal. Only one of my friends loves metal and he thinks that I don't like it and tries to turn it off, I told him it was fine... lol It's my so called other friends who think it's all about growling and Satan music. I have been recommended some bands here and there, but always open for more.
