I'm not happy to see you go. I think you're one of the better members of the Hell.

Also, I may have been a little drunk when I made that last post, but still: I require Oxiplegatz. Anyone heard of them? Ever?

I checked them out on Metal Archives and they sound awesome. All I could find was their Myspace page.

Metal music has never been popular with the majority. Its the way it is, and its the way it'll always be.

Yeah, I didn't think there'd be too much of a fuss. If there was, I could add about 9... 7 more artists to my favorites list?

So, let's talk.

What *Kind* of metal? Hair metal was extremely popular in the 80's, last time I checked.

Yeah, but most hair isn't exactly metal anyway. It's all just sounds like slightly metal influenced hard rock.

That's true. Many metal puritans don't consider hair metal (which is pretty much all but dead nowadays) proper metal anyway. However, I tend to be a bit more forgiving.

And you've got some areas of the world where metal is pretty popular, Finland, for example.

Sweden and Norway as well. As cliche as those countries may be within the world of metal, metal is easily the best and most popular musical export. Europe as a whole embraces metal, at least most types of it, a bit more than the USA. The last time the USA embraced metal was the hair bands of the eighties. Some were good (I'm thinking Twisted Sister, to name at least one), but the most were one hit wonders, and the genre did spawn GnR, which I hate with a passion.

I always thought Hair Metal wasn't really metal. I thought it was more of the hard rock side.

I have arrived in my horseman glory to allow both of the new guys in.

BTW IrishGun (aka Ronan, now I know), Dying Fetus is pretty metal (br00tal grind-death, boring though), Vader is thrash death, and I'm sure the other band is metal too.

A list of the albums I've gotten so far :):
Ensiferum - Victory Songs
Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja
Moonsorrow - V: Havitetty
Skyforger - Thunderforge
Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma
Solefald - An Icelandic Odyssey Part I: Red For Fire
Solefald - An Icelandic Odyssey Part II: Black for Death, and Pills Against the Ageless Ills
Wintersun - Wintersun
Dragonland - Holy War

Yes. But it was still discriminated as "Devils Music"

They Don't even Have Jaari Maenpaa on it for thor's sake!

I've never been called anything. I feel like I'm left alone... :(

I have, however, once been denied acced because I wore a shirt with a pentagram on it. (okay, it was in the vatican museum, so it ain't that strange. and they let me in when I put something over it.)

I'm too lazy to read anyones posts. Is anything interesting being discussed?

What I've seen is being called shit for listening to metal.

cunt,dick,faggot,satanist,goth

And talks of where metal is big.

Finland and shit.

Iron is their best, period. The guy from Wintersun (their first album was recorded by one dude, Jaari Maenpaa as Kidd said) is the old guitarist and vocalist for Ensiferum, and he is a much better singer and more talented at songwriting than the new dude, who is from Norther (who aren't all that bad)

Because they are stupid and think it is metal and then they think they are cool for listening to their "non-mainstream metal bands"

100000000 times better then death metal

In your opinion maybe, but I doubt you know what death metal is

Bands that OWN:

rammstien, kreator, korn, anthrax, metallica, pantera, devil driver, lamb of god, rob zombie, soilwork, static x, carcass, damageplan, dope, dragonforce, firewind, drowning pool, in flames, sevendust, system of a down, fear factory, disturbed, avenged sevenfold, slayer, megadeath. And possibly the best dethklok

lmao

not only was this nine days late, but it was hilarious too. "If ____ is bad why do people like it?" is one of the dumbest statements one can use to support an opinion. Let me break it down for you:

1. The vast majority of people like shit, especially shit music. Examples: that "laffy taffy" song, Soulja Boy, etc. Shit food is big too, fast and junk food come to mind. Just because someone likes something doesn't mean you should too, nor does it justify your opinion, which brings me to my second point:

2. Saying that is like having a big sign on your chest that says "I AM A CONFORMIST! I LIKE STUFF BECAUSE OTHERS DO!" I hate football (american), but the majority of my nation loves it. Do I like it because they do? No. Liking something because millions of other people do is both lame and a waste of your money (what comes to mind is the 6 million people who bought Nickelbacks new album). One of humankinds greatest assets is the ability to form our own opinions and ideas, and when you waste this ability it's quite sad. It's like someone not bothering to read or learn to talk, though on a smaller scale.

3. Really though, it all really boils down to opinion, and that's what makes this statement even more lame. I don't give a shit if you hate death metal and like whatever you like to listen to. I listen to what I listen to, you listen to what you listen to, and unfortunately, what you listen to is not what we like to discuss here, therefore making your staying here pointless and a waste of all of our time. Use this new time, which you are not wasting by staying here, to find some new bands (i'm thinking about 10, maybe?) that maybe we could all discuss.

i'd respond to your little jab at how whatever you listen to is one hundred million times better than death metal, but you didn't give any sort of argument to support your opinion.

Goodbye.

I've been called Bogan, dirty/greasy, emo, goth, creep, freak, girl(long hair).

All because of my Metal-esque appearance. All by people who either hate the genre or have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, or more accurately criticizing towards.

Most of the time you can shut them up by telling them they have no idea what Metal is, but the more ignorant ones usually think they are the be-all and end-all of the argument can be bought down in flames equally by putting them into some jackoff stereotype as well.

Because the world is filled with mallkids (like you), who all know nothing about metal. (like you)
