So how can people listen to heavy metal?

[QUOTE="kurama2002"][QUOTE="Def_Jef88"]

Go make a successful heavy metal band or STFU.

Blood-Scribe

im black

What difference does it make? There's plenty of Metal musicians that are black.

there names?

Edit:wait are you talking about these dudes? http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZ5SVDYBNrY

This is why I listen to Metal!!!!

Are you talking about Death Metal? That's garbage. But the Heavy Metal I'm thinking of is like Disturbed for Slipknot. PlasmaBeam44

Not even close...Disturbed is Nu Metal at most...good ole` bands like Maiden, or Motorhead are HM.

Terrance Hubbs and Mike Smith from Suffocation.

Byron Davis from God Forbid

Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage

Those guys are just a few. And Living Colour isn't Metal.

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"]Listen to Iron Maiden and we'll talk laterDef_Jef88

Or you could go burn your music collection and never call yourself a metal fan again, just a thought.

Well Led Zeppelin was considered Heavy Rock/Metal, but if your talking about thrash rock then yes, I do find it irritating. It just sounds like someone hitting guitar strings while screaming like a chipmunk into the microphone. But you have to understand people have different tastes.Myrkan

joke?

It sounds like all they do is scream. I like guns n roses but im not sure if they are considered heavy metal. But i think im gonna start a band since its so easy to scream into a mic and get lots of money.kurama2002

Name one band that is considered to be of great quality among the Metal community that fits into the above criteria.

With their ears......:D

Anyway, taste is subjective. Everyone has their own.

I don't know how people like Slipknot.

EboyLOL

Slipknot is my favorite band. Don't be hatin.

Some of these are just amazingly ignorant. :lol:lancelot200

Anyone know any goodmetal bands witha falsetto vocalist?

I hate idiots who say all metal is screaming...ok fine all rap is a bunch of guys talking fast and occasionally rhyming. R&B is a bunch of "singers" that "sing" one word for 3 mintues by making it last wayyy to long, all pop isjerks moving their mouth with noREAL sound comming out....etc etc. There are different types of metal and each type has at least one good attribute. Plus most of those "screaming" vocalists are good singers. Anyone hear Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver. I don't like the band but i gotta admit the vocalist can sing.Console_Gamer93

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!! That's exactly my point.

So what do you classify Fall out boy and greenday as?kurama2002

Pop and ****ty punk now emo.

So how can people listen to Guns N' Roses? It's just the same formulaic crap consisting of that waste of that otherwise good use of air called "Axl Rose" crooning away while being periodically interrupted by a mediocre guitar solo by Slash.

See what I did there?

Did I say anything about Metallica? And that doesnt qualify as thrash rock. That song at least.

Metallica is one of the pioneers of the Thrash Metal scene and there's no reason to exclude a song from the genre just because it sounds a bit different, all in all, it's still thrash, just a bit older.

Anyone know any goodmetal bands witha falsetto vocalist?

You kinda have to slowly move up to it. You gotta start out with the softer stuff then gradually listen to more. Once you get there, heavy metal will be like an orgasm in your ears. No joke.Faust_DWfan

My first metal song (or really any song for that matter) was six feet under - enemy inside. I guess i defy your rule, heh.

i love heavy metal...gorilazandgames

Stop complaining about lyrics and vocals. If you're even thinking about the vocals, let alone judging the band on them, you're better off listening to pop. That includes you Opeth, LoG, In Flames, CoB fanboys that run so rampant. Those bands are pretty much the pop version of extreme metal anyways.GodLovesDead
