Dude, trust me, we HAVE tried them. Let me remind you this is the METAL hell, not the ROCK hell. Everybody knows who rammstein is. Come back when you have some metal to talk about. MTV is NOT the place to go for new and exciting music, dude.

Rammstein's new shit is terrible.. but there old stuff is pretty decent
If you want to listen to rammstein get ablums like Sehnsucht, or live aus berlin (live, but decent) because those are good ones. Dont get any new stuff old stuff is heavier

and thats my final say

What does my listening to Cannibal Corpse have to do with anything? I just know for a fact that people who listen to metal hate slipknot....99% of them. And btw, I wasnt even making fun of Slipknot when I posted that, I just thought there would be a big arguement over it, so dont just fuckin jump to conclusions and act all immature dissing what I listen to....

The big problem is that people always complain about slipknot being not metal...
but nobody fucking cares, they are alternative metal, and for those who are a little bit more open minded than some other persons, you guys should listen to the Subliminal Verse by slipknot, the guitar riffs are way much better in this one if you compare it to a lot of shity "REAL" metal bands.

But I still agree that they are not that good, I don't listen to them a lot anymore.

you mean the humble beginnings? :) alright:

In Flames - Pinball Map
Soilwork - As We Speak
Dark Tranquillity - The Treason Wall
Hypocrisy - Eraser

as you can see, I was a huge melodeath fan :)

the songs that got me into the bands I love today:

Rotting Christ - Exiled Archangel
Varathron - Son of the Moon (Act II)
Thou Art Lord - The Era of Satan Rising
Necromantia - Lord of the Abyss
Nergal - Timeless Father
Annihilator - King of the Kill
Candlemass - Solitude
All Shall Perish - Laid to Rest

Heavenduff, if you're so concerned about open-mindedness, then stop ragging on Cannibal Corpse you hyopcrite.

Anyway, my humble begginings...odd to say the least:

Amorphis - Black Winter Day
Dead Centre - Cryptocracy
Metallica - Blackened
KoRn - Not sure...pretty much anything off 'follow the leader' i guess
Limp Bizkit - Not sure again

Everything by Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, ect. all got me into metal. The first "real" metal band I heard (excluding all the big names, like Metallica, Sabbath, Quiet Riot, ect.) was Children of Bodom, and the song was Follow The Reaper.

let me bitch about shitty bands in peace, it's my trademark, take it or leave it.

For me it would all have to be about Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'... which led me onto Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets and Kill 'Em All. Then by interest in metal just sprouted from there. So I started checking out all these bands that were apparently 'brilliant', Megadeth, Pantera, Dream Theater etc.

And since I've very open minded I've just been testing our bits from all different genre's.

I can't actual think of other songs that got me into metal besides Enter Sandman. Cause I hated Slipknot etc when they were first popular cause I was into Britpop then. But I suppose you could say that 'Peace Sells' and 'Walk' had an impact on me.

Horrid news, Lopez was a very well-rounded musician and a real contribution to the Opeth sound.

okie dokie i think im going to start contributing here again.

since people were talking about beginings in metal heres the little list of bands that got me into any sort of metal:

slipknot...eww :/
lamb of god
cannibal corpse (CC is what really got me into metal)
slayer
korn

I'd have to say it was Nu-Metal and Hard Rock that brought me to metal. Stuff like

-Disturbed ( Fear being the first song I heard from them, developing to more melodic stuff)
-Linkin Park(my aunt listened to them and I borrowed a couple of albums from her)
-Offspring(believe it or not, they had a HUGE influence on me, mostly because of Americana )
-System Of A Down
-And finally, Slipknot helped me tolerate all-out-shouting and basing guitars.

After that, some Metallica and other mainstream metal was all I needed to start getting into metal. Nowadays, I can't get enough of Opeth and Dream Theater! Opeth's music is so good I can even overlook the occational roaring and growling.

www.metal-archives.com If it's not there, it's not metal. Though they have a *few* non-metal acts there, they are few and far in between. Slipknot isn't there. It's an inclusive site, not an exclusive site. Slipknot are heavy rock, no more.

metal roots?

Rammstein (ok not metal)
Nile
Arch Enemy
Abaddon Incarnate

me > you, I never listened to Korn or Slipknot or whatever, not even as a kid. I didn't even like Limp Bizkit when I was like, 10

If listening to Despised Icon and other metalcore/goregrind bands makes me a n00b, then I don't care. I feel sorry for people like you who clinically over analyse music to the point where they can't enjoy anything.

Ghoul, I started out on bands like Korn back when I was 11. Then I got into stuff like Amorphis. Then started getting into CC/Deicide style death metal. I even progressed onto black metal for a while. And there was probably a 3 or 4 year gap in my life when I absolutely despised anything core or nu. But I'm over that now. If I like a certain type of music, I'm going to listen to it.

I hate it when people who don't know enough about a genre comment on how it's all the same, the same over-used riffs, the same vocals etc, because that is a pile of shit. I could say the exact same for black metal, but I don't, because I don't know enough about the genre, and it's not the music I listen to.

I don't "clinically overanalyze" music. I think you people just fail to realize that Despised Icon are boring and generic. That's not me over-analyzing the band. That's not me being an elitist. That's the truth. However, coming from a fan of br00tal s1ck na$ty pr0n0grafix g0re gryndk0re bullshit, I can see why you can't see that. I to know a fair bit about br00tal death metal and that entire dumbass scene, and it's full of idiot wiggers who listened to Slipknot last week and want to hear something more br00tal. Every single band sounds exactly the same, the riffs are dumb and the vocals are even worse. Again, that's the truth.

:Be quiet with your elitist bullshit Iron. It's like everytime you post that's all you're about, is how much a band sucks. I listen to the stuff you listen to, I'm not some emo, painted fingernail, eyeliner wearing mallcore kid. I know you're just stating your opinion, but the "It sucks because it's trendy" manner you present it in is quite an annoyance.
I'm not an elitist. I just don't listen to crap music. There's a difference. A big difference. In fact, I'm willing to bet that I'm by far more open-minded than any of you when it comes to music. I also never mentioned that you wear nail polish and eyeliner, you did. Got something you want to tell us?

Also, every time one of you calls me an elitist you prove that you don't know what the word elitist means. An elitist listens to bands that are only known by a few people (an "elite" few, if you will). My list of favourite bands:
Judas Priest
Overkill
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Exodus
Megadeth
Anthrax
Vio-Lence
Rammer
etc.

Hardly unknown, except maybe Rammer

Am i to take it then that this is the definitive resource for all things metal?
If so I am proud to say that my brother and I are both listed with our bands.

as am I, though I gotta submit one of my other bands, Asgarður, which is viking/black metal. Anywho, I'm in quite a few bands, not all of which are active at the moment.

So you're saying people "fail" to "realize" they like something they shouldn't? Does that mean they really don't like it, but just think they do? Why is that? And who decides what's boring and what's not?
