The only half decent song in there was Enter Sandman.

downloadable content such as the Metallica pack with Blackened, . . . And Justice For All, and Ride the Lightning, and the Black Sabbath pack with War Pigs, Sweet Leaf, and N.I.B.

and in relation to the discussion on outward appearance, I usually wear band shirts, with a band hoodie or a coat if it is cold, non baggy jeans, in the winter, and in the summer, band shirts, camo shorts, and for shoes I wear skating shoes because I think they are comfortable

We have that problem too.

Except worse.

There's this huge ass chicken slaughterhouse on the border of Ballymena (I mean FUCKING HUGE, it's bigger than the city and leisure centre combined) and there's about fifty of them sitting outisde of it every morning.

Also, a bunch of doctors came over from Poland, because apparently, if you're a doctor, you get paid less than the cleaner in Poland.

Also, there's this Polish hairdresser who SHAVED MY FUCKING HEAD once.

I liked it, but I had to give a few people dead arms before they would stop laughing.

Shit...I just downloaded like, fiveish albums in a day.

This is very true. Contrary to the stereotype of metal-heads being dumb and obsessed with brutality and violence, many fans are actually pretty intelligent and normal. Like us.

DUN DUNDLEE DUN!!!

Thanks for mentioning that album. While I was deciding which CDs to order from Amazon, I ordered Fly By Night since it's Peart's debut and it's been almost a year since I last bought an album of Rush's (I only have 2112 and Moving Pictures right now).

I've got 2112 (it was my first), Spirit of Radio (their greatest hits album), Snakes and Arrows, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres. I plan on getting: Permanent Waves, Fly By Night, and Moving Pictures.

Thanks Ryan. :D

Anyway,I am So Awesome.
In The Last 6 days or so, I have learned the Following Songs on Guitar:

Elvenking-Devil's Carriage (only power metal I like lol)
Behemoth- Slaves Shall Serve
Chimaira- Save ourselves
Chimaira-Bloodlust (lol that's why I asked you if you liked them)

And FINALLY!

Necrophagist-Extreme Unction

Bow.

True. I know I'm intelligent. Also, statistics show that the students with higher grades mostly like metal. That's why I have reasons to suspect that the Metalhead stereotype is a general media attack to keep people away from metal, that holds ideas unpleasant to the industry, that wants people to like Britney Spears and damn EMO. Luckyly (I'm foreign, so not sure if that's how you spell this word), intelligent people see through the publicity smoke screen and see that the only true genre is metal.

In other words, I think there is a conspiracy. Don't call me crazy, though. I just think that a group of people can "dominate" more fans, and thus gain more money, more easily with pop and EMO. And to ensure that the people won't like metal instead (generally metal fans like only metal, or metal and classic), they push the stereotype, and the weak-minded people will dislike metal.

However, I said I wasn't going to continue whining, so I shall ignore this.

no problem. its not as proggy as the later albums, but if you find you like it you'll probably enjoy caress of steel too, quite similar style but with some more complex songs.

Hey, that isn't nonsense. >:(

hah ok i take that back. moving pictures etc. are preety good but i still prefer 70's rush.
by the way im exploring black metal again just now. anyone reccomend me some...how can i describe it...weird atmospheric experimental black metal, along the lines of deathspell omega?

On the topic of how a Metaller looks, I think this:

Music in all forms is something that is only relevant to ones ears (and maybe limbs in terms of dancing), not someones clothes.
Anyone who dresses to fit in with their preferred genres style, then they're just a trendy faggot and I don't agree with it.
If you like that style, fine, dressing how you want is the point. But if people only dress that way to fit in, then they deserve to be shot.

So my freind let me borrow Dragon lord he also fucking bought me Dimmu Borgir Stormblast I bout shat myself when he did.

On the topic of clothing: It really depends.. I walk around with some jeans and a bandshirt. and I have long hair. Some people dress like they're going to the most cvlt show of the decenium every day.

I want to start making a patch vest, though:p

on languages: I speak dutch and english fluently, and I can help myself in french and german. Of course, I know some words in a lot of languages, but not more than the "thank you's" or "hello's".

Then bands like Marylin Manson, My Chemical Romance and Slipknot come by and it seems most of you are thrown back to the stone age.

"BAWW, THEY SUCK, BASEFF."

The sad truth is, there's always going to be at least 2 people in a group of five metalheads that hate everything that isn't metal.

I just hate everything that is played on stupid popular radio. Ya'know the 'Top 40' kind of nonsense.
Oh and False Metal =P

Anyway moving on to more important things. For some reason I can't seem to get onto Metal-Archives. It just keeps giving me "403 Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server."

Anyone else getting this? Or just me?

I've got a question that's been bothering me or the longest time, I just haven't bothered to post for the past..... however long it's been. But now that I've got nothing better to do at the moment...

What characteristics define metal? What makes metal metal?

Give me technical terms, even if I don't understand them. I want to know, musically, what makes the difference. I don't want answers like "the feel of it all" or shit like that. Is it the particular riffs? Something about the voice? What?

What separates metal from sub-genres like mallcore, metalcore and whatever other shit people come up with?

Seriously, I want to know.

At 12/28/07 03:08 AM, OVlez wrote: What characteristics define metal? What makes metal metal?

I can define just about everything you want to know about what makes metal metal nowadays, but it would take too much time. See, in today's contemporary world, there's all types of heavy metal, and even those sub-genres have sub-genres under them. Hell, we even have some hybrid genres.

AND even some of those form dualities to create something completely off the charts.
There's just too many things too go into defining metal, that one could possibly write a whole book off it.

Now, if you would've asked that say, 15-20 years ago, it would've been a lot easier:
Heavy riff-age, steady tempo, a much more flamboyant feel compared to it's predecessor, Hard rock.

Then it's because you're lazy and don't check the website/MA page of the bands you like often.

Maybe it's because i'm not kicking myself for not knowing that band. God, I thought when Metal-Command said Demon Hunter was shit he was talking about Dimmu Borgir.
