I just watched it, you're right it was pretty cringey, especially the bit in the party with SLAAAAYYYURRRGH.

But I liked it, just wish Rich wasn't such a douchecanoe, they're just reinforcing every stereotype about metalheads at the moment with him.

Also Rich is basically Dalnaki.

Metal guitars, metal drums, half metal vocals... if they're not metal, what are they? They're still a kickass band and I find them worthy of a mention in here.

They are a Nu-Metal band. I love their work though :) Their album Revolution Revolucion is awesome :)

I suggest you post about their stuff in the Nu-Metal/Metalcore Crew. Nobody ever posts there. But if you are interrested in joinning, I would really be interrested in reviving this crew :)

On topic of Nu-metal. Could someone give some more background for it?

You know the whole slipknot thing again.

Nu-metal isn't really metal because it has more elements of hard rock than metal. There's some other explanations that are better than mine, but that's pretty much how I sum it up. Same with metalcore. It just doesn't have enough elements of metal to be considered such, because it is more hardcore punk than metal.

I think it's more the culmination of all the different genres. Like, melodeath is just death metal with slightly more melodic guitar. Whereas if I were to add hip hop and funk and rap and techno to it, it wouldn't be metal any more.

As far as I am concerned a Nu Metal artist is may not be Metal but they are certainly capable of releasing individual songs that are Metal.

The sum of the parts may not be Metal but I don't think you can say it is devoid of it.

Yeah, just like Rock and Metal share some elements. There is still a line to draw between the two genres. And for obvious reasons, we have drawn a line between Metal and Nu-Metal.

Don't bother arguing with that piece of shit. He's become notorious for these sort of arguments at this point in the General forum. It's a shame most threads about metal in the General forum turn to shit because of douchebags like him. I much prefer to talk about the subject right here for more mature discussions. Well, most of the time anyway.

Metalcore has nothing in common with hardcore punk. It's pretty much just watered down SOTS ripoffs. Unless you want to be archaic and talk about 80s crossover thrash. Which yeah. Metalcore. But, you know, there's already a name for it: crossover thrash. Or thrashcore.

Whereas if I were to add hip hop

There's actually a death metal band with hip-hop elements. They have a dj or some shit. Never listened to them, but they're supposed to be actually good from what I remember.

:Shame I forgot the name.

A little generic, has a pretty -corish riff in one song made me wut. It's like a 6.5 in my eyes.

At 2/4/11 06:15 PM, TheSporkLord wrote: You know the whole slipknot thing again.

Dumbing down metal with a gangster/metro image ala MTV, simpler riffs to appeal to a wider audience, less artistic value, more focus on rhythmic devices with less notes, faggot haircuts, chugging your notes, calling your songs "Off the Heezay". That goes for -core too.

Although straight up hardcore is pretty good.

Metalcore. Noun. Crappy music.

Fuck I don't even know if it's a noun.

That word stops sounding like a word after you say it over and over again.

Noun. Nooooooun. Noun. Noun.

Noun.

Yeah, my posts are incredibly cool.

So anyone ever been on acid in the back of a cop car, locked up? Well it sucks pretty bad. Cops asked me what my name was. I said Policeman Firangi Paani. I caved when they threatened me with taking me to the station.

It's a little shit being grabbed and forced into a cop car when all I was doing was sitting on a sidewalk at 1:30 in the morning staring at a house that was waving and moving and entertaining me. I'd like to think it was police brutality, picking on people because they're unsatisfied with their station in life. Low shit.

Skateboarding on acid is still the bees knees though, I recommend it if you were born to have adventure.

In other news, I have a job now at my local theater where I set up sound systems and do lights and soundboard stuff and move shit around and get paid a lot. I also get a Cert II in Live Sound Production in a year.

Have you reviewed any Slough Feg albums? I'm wanting to hear your thoughts on ANY of their albums. I'm still wanting to write up a review for Down Among the Deadmen and I need to get to that sometime. However, my weekly metal posts are keeping me occupied for the time being.

Yeah. I'm 17, experimentation and fun is my bomb diggity idea of a good time. And drugs are fucking nice and don't hurt people, unless they are A) Stupid as all hell or B) Taking too much of the wrong shit, like mixing prescription drugs with coke or heroin.

I fucking hate the fact of heroin, that shit repulses me. Fuck being addicted to a deadly as hell drug like that. Fall asleep, throw up, choke, die. Fuck it. Chemical inbalance in the brain, feel like total shit unless you shoot up constantly. I haven't done heroin, I dated a bitch who did though. Eww, that shit freaks me out.

I'm only addicted to love, baby.

Down Among the Deadmen is like 90/95% album to me, fuck it rules. Original, yet inspired from old school metal, catchiness, sticks in your head, brutality, well thought out riffs and structures, well played, good vocals and great lyrics. FUCK YEAH.

I have not. I should get on that. I'm trying to decide whether to write a review for Traveller or Down Among the Deadmen. Traveller already has a review, so I'm leaning towards Down Among the Deadmen. Hmmmmmm......

Also, what are your guys' favorite metal albums of all time? Not in any particular order, but just a couple that you consistently find to be amazing.

Agreed with everything except for the score. I give it 10/10 easily. The moment I listen to Sky Chariots, I HAVE to listen to the rest of the album.

Renaissance - The Death of Art

Absolutely not. I really don't feel like going through this kind of argument again. But if it was the case, why would most metalheads hate on Nu-Metal? And why would Nu-Metal fan be so limited in their "Metal" tastes?

Dude, how many times did we get people coming in with lists like these?

August Burns Red
Confide
Slipknot
Rammstein
Avenged Sevenfold
Parkway Drive
Trivium
Limp Bizkit
Metallica
Winds Of Plague

I know it's not exactly like that... but you get my point... There is usually a huge total of 1 metal band on their list, and it's usually Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer or Black Sabbath. Some other times they have metal bands, but almost all of them are Melodic Death Metal.

What about Black Metal? Death Metal? Avant-garde? Prog? Drone? Doom? Folk? Stoner? Most of them don't even know of these genres, and when you make em listen to it, they can't appreciate it, cause they don't have any kind of taste when it comes to Metal. They lack the musical knowledge to understand anything that doesn't follow poppish structures like "intro-chorus-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-
chorus", with the usual sing along parts, and with the cleanest, most polished production ever. That's always what I say... Metalcore (or Nu-Metal) is pop music that feels badass.

Yeah :) Just remember this is a list I made in a few minutes. I didn't try to make a list of the obvious best Metal albums ever. It's just a list of my all time favorites, on the top of my head.
