What the appeal of Metal?

Its hard to describe my love for metal. It was the first stuff I listened to 9 years ago and I thought "this is really good, I like this " (I was 6 btw) And as I got older I moved on from Thrash Metal (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer) and Heavy Metal onto other genres such as Melodic Death Metal (In Flames). A person once asked me "doesn't it make you angry though?" and I replied with "Not really angry, but its kind of like an adrenalin shot. Just the fast beats of the drums and lightning quick solos make you want to thrash your head about until you dislocate it. It intoxicates my body." That is why I love it and it appeals to me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I got into metal at a young age as well because I picked it up from my older brother. And of course, a lot of people questioned my interest of it.

Opeth is too emotional and difficult to listen to due to how boring they come across.

Pretty much. None of the musical styles in the world can save the songs from coming off as long and meandering.

Christian Metal is the best!!

Metal isn't all like that.

Here's one example of metal that isn't "blaring guitar while some white guy screams".

I think what you wanna say is "What is the appeal of death metal?", which I personally would also like to know.

nintendorocks

lol fixed that for ya to rememdy confusion others might have about your post. I get what you are saying but that little mistake contradicts the rest of your post.

God I love that song BTW. That song got me to love Metallica. I experienced it first by playing it in Guitar Hero 3 and have loved it ever since. Probably one of my all-time fav songs.

As for death metal, it is an extremely technical subgenre. I really have to stick to the melodeath because crap like Cannibal Corpse just drives me crazy.....

Opeth is pretty much the best music to get lost in. I sit there playing games and one of their songs come on and I start zoning out and getting lost in the music.

Yeah same. My mate just came to school one day and said:
"heard of Metallica?"
"no"
"heard of Megadeth?"
"no"
"Come to my house and listen to it. Its good." "
ok"
His brother was about 5 years older than us and he had a lot of CD's, so we listened to them, and I've liked it since then. My parents used to be worried about it, but they're cool nowadays. And of course you had the people who assumed we were goths or something becuase we listened to it. Only one out of about 7 of us turned out goth. And us 7 were the only kids out of about 900 kids who listened to Metal. At least nowadays some people know what Megadeth is.

I have been lucky enough to have parents who were cool with me getting mature stuff. They freaking got the uncensored version of "The Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water" for me when I couldn't have been older than 10 or 11.....

Well I don't like Opeth but it's not that I dislike them. I just don't care much for them. I don't find their music to be particularly enjoyable.

Pretty much everything.

You assume far too much, must have struck a cord. One of my favorite bands is King Crimson to remove all doubt.

Opeth is so boring and lame. :P

It's hard to believe they are so highly praised.

Opeth is too emotional and difficult to listen to due to how boring they come across. Very "wimpy". Opeth is also increasingly becoming the new metal band for hipsters to listen after they begin to get tired of In Flames and Lamb of God. I won't go as far to say that Opeth is metal for girls, but it's pretty damn close. But don't mind me. I probably don't listen to metal with the same mindset as you.

It's also funny because you're just like every other Opeth fan out there. Also, I'm guessing you're a chick. So the band probably suits you well.

Opeth is pretty much the best music to get lost in. I sit there playing games and one of their songs come on and I start zoning out and getting lost in the music.

For me I had listened to Ghost of Perdition on their myspace giving them a second chance (previously I hadn't listened to any of their stuff all the way through because the growling was too much for me at the time). I was put off a bit by the opening growling but I stuck through it and then he started to sing and I was like "holy **** this bands amazing!"

I ended up going out and buying Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries, took both home and put them in and listened to them while I played some RE4. Was such an amazing experience.

How can u guys not like opeth listen to Bleak its just a epic song and at 3:00 its almost like Gospel like Metal mixed with Gospel music from like TIbet :P i dont even know how to describe !!!!!!!

Due to lack of funds I only have 3 of their cd's. I plan on buying every single one eventually though!

Definitely getting Watershed when it comes out!

lol funny thing is, after I had it for a few days and she saw it she banned me from playing it. She thought it was a car racing game because I had Grand Turismo and she thought it was that.

Hessians aren't the same as your typical metalhead.

I thought the term hessian was just another word for metalhead.

from what your saying, it sounds like you're talking about Death Metal...well, not even, probably ****y Deathcore bands (Deathcore is a fusion genre if death metal, and metal core...which is also a fusion genre of hardcore punk, and metal), you're talking about **** like this, and this, right? i'm not even gonna bother posting any real Death Metal, or Black Metal, i think we've establishedthat you don't like death vocals (aka growls, aka harsh vocals akawhat n00bs call "screaming") but take a look at these bands i'm gonna post...there must be atleast one that you like;

Opeth (well, theyARE Death Metal...but they're also acoustic, blues, jazz, prog. rock, and more...)

Rhapsody (these guys are what got me into "real" metal)

Blind Guardian (i don't care who you are, or what you listen to, you can't deny the awesomeness of his voice)

Iced Earth

Nightwish

Stratovarius

Sonata Arctica

Iron Maiden

Judas Priest

HammerFall

Megadeth

Kreator

Korpiklaani (for a listener of mainstream music, these guys will probably seem very weird...awesome none the less though)

Agalloch

3 Inches of Blood

Mercyful Fate

...i couldn't resist...heres some pure awesome Death Metal, and Black Metal :twisted:

Theres more to it besides, just screaming, and dress... Its energizing sometimes emotional and theres always a meaning behind each song... except maybe for Slipknot ( I h8 them!)A3trix

Join the angry mob.

[QUOTE="A3trix"]Theres more to it besides, just screaming, and dress... Its energizing sometimes emotional and theres always a meaning behind each song... except maybe for Slipknot ( I h8 them!)Tuky06

Join the angry mob.

I intend to...

Since all the metalheads are gathered in here... Check this out

They're first full length album came out just recently, it's really fun to listen to :lol:

This arguing over how opeth, or any band is good or not, is futile. You're not going to change their perceptions of them. So what if someone doesn't like it?

Personally, I like to listen to metal and pick apart the different instruments, vocals, guitar, bass, drums, etc. and if the musicianship is good then i like it.

I don't like it when a band plays the same riffs throughout the song, or they try to play as fast as possible, or distort their guitar too much. the lyrics have to be powerful (they don't have to necessarily make much sense :P)

If you don't like the music... then you don't have to listen to it, you don't have to diss it.

Also, I'm just curious as to what GLD and NKMuffin look for when they're looking in a song or a band. Don't take it as an attack, I'm just curious.

you're talking about **** like this, and this, right?
