Weren't you whining about my myspace a while ago? What was it?

Thank you, Metal Hell.

I posted in here a few weeks ago asking for reccomendations according to my taste in music, and you guys nailed it for me.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who threw in suggestions, you guys rock.

My list now looks something like -

Scar Symmetry
Blind Guardian
Amon Amarth
Children of Bodom [still...]
Finntroll
_________

System of a down
Metallica
Iron Maiden
etc...

Think I'd be able to join?

The list is a little split down the middle, but I think the guys should consider letting you in regardless, since you show a lot of interest in expanding your list n shit.

Also, seeing Finntroll, I went to our shop and found some of their shirts, but their "small" went down to my thighs. I fucking hate that shit :( I know there arent as many girl metalheads, but goddamn! Does everything need to be 5 times the size of a person? It's so rare to find a small for a guy thats actuall a small, and it has to be a guy shirt, because girl band shirts are fucking lame. Just the band logo on a black shirt, no album cover. :( I wish there was better product for females in the metal industry.

Ok, which list is the one we're looking at. Judging the first, you're in, but the second, no.

I gave my friend, a girl, who is quiet small, my old Trivium tshirt (as a joke, she hates them like more than I do). And it was a large males, and it was too small for her.

Tshirts are just weird :P.

What the shit. I give up. Iunno how people find small version shirts. Apparently we can get them at the store I shop at, but I GUESS THEY JUST GO OUT OF STOCK EVERYTIME I GET THERE. I just always find the crazy knee long shirts that are apparently mediums. My ass.

I still wish they could at least make a limited awesome album cover girl shirts too. I dont get why girl shirts lack the awesome album cover shit. If they are worried about boobs, at least put them on the back OR SOMETHING.
Id totally pay a lil extra for a low stock DECENT girl shirt, rather than having to take apart an entire male shirt to get it to fit.

Start a business. There is a niché in the market. Exploit dat shit and get rich.

Im bored, and I thought some of you guys (and SOAS) might want some literature.

Thing is, Metal is fucking powerful.

A couple of years ago, I had quite a narrow minded view on music. I still do in some ways. I was very much afraid of discovering new types of music, and I kept myself in the same circle.

Back then I was an indie/alternative/pop freak. Big time. I listened to a lot of britpop and alternative rock and that, like Oasis, Blur, R.E.M., Supergrass, The Verve, Toploader, Radiohead and Pulp.
I wasn't interested in listening to old music, and I was never keep on rap and never have been, so I just drowned myself in my indie and alternative.

Then I watched the G8 concert on TV, the one in London. I saw Pink Floyd for the first time and they fucking blew me away. Never heard such music before, long solos etc etc. Even though they're not metal, and I hardly ever listen to them anymore, they were very much my first steps toward my current music taste. Through them I looked into the main rock veterans of the 60s, 70s and 80s. These included the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. I also listened to more Rock and Roll too, like AC/DC and GnR, but im not so keen on them now.
Fact is by that point I was pretty much engulfed by the metal. It had ripped me away from my old music tastes so harshly and disgustingly, it was awe inspiring.

A whole new world, uber cool guitar work and other types of instrument fusion. I couldn't get enough of it. Before I had always seen metal as guys screaming along to god-awful bashing music, the typical stereotype. I was so fucking wrong, and it annoys me nowadays when I meet people who still have that view. I just want them to realise the magic.

Even still, when I was really into metal, I was skeptical about it. I wasn't keen on Death Metal and any metal heavier than the old classics, or speed metal.
But metal is so powerful, once it's taken you, you can't escape. Now im getting into death vocals, and I can't get enough of thrash (as long as it's good) and power metal. It's brilliant. It does everything for me.

Man, I fucking love metal.

I like how metal isn't a phase music, because it's such a growing genre, and has so many subgenres to skip to, you can just like metal for a few years and forget it exists. It stays latched to you no matter what or who you become.

I only got into music rather late in my life. Maybe only when I was what? 16? maybe 15..Everyone was skipping from music and life styles constantly, annually even. I like I just stuck to metal once I found it. However, I had gone through nu-metal before I found metal. I come from a small town, where EVERYONE is a prep, so it was only thanks to the internet that I actually found real metal. Before that, I guess i listened to some alternative, but I was never religious about music. Now I cant even go for a 5 minute walk to the store without some metal.

What I love the most about metal, and agree that it's so powerful, is that, I had an anxiety disorder ( still do actually, but nothing like when I was first diagnosed) and everyday was just another day of feeling scared and vulnerable, but when you walked down the hallways with metal blasting out of your ears, and wearing your megadeth shirt with vic on it, and with the andrenaline it gives you, it took so much of that anxiety away. It IS powerful, and been there every step of my disorder. It just gives you this rush that makes you feel stronger, and no prep is going to bother messing with that either. I just dont know what those years with my panic attacks would be like without metal, whether it was there to relate to it, or just get all pumped up and tell my disorder it can go fuck itself.

It's funny too, rock only came after metal. Instead of going through everything else and finally finding metal, I found metal and decided I didnt want to be ignorant about music either, and found a lot of my dads all records and thats how I found a lot of classic rock. The Trip hop was a random find though.

I just love metal for all the rush it gives though. Like stepping into a mosh pit, and getting hit and hurt, but loving every second of it, because its the only time im not scared, or scared of being hurt or sick, considering im still a recovering hypochondriac. its like, the one time I could put all my shit aside and just go with the flow of adrenaline. And the fact that its such a brotherly genre is what makes it the best.
It's tough, and rough and badass, but at the same time, its like some instinct that metalheads look out for each other, whether it be in the pit, or irl, or at school, or the net, etc..
It's one of the few genres that if you see someone wearing your favorite band, that it;s anything but crazy to stop and talk to them about how awesome they are and how awesome metal is.

oooo, I just love metal :)

On a side note metal is just a nice genre of music, but any genre can move me as long as the song is good.

I hate the metal world, and most of it's fans, because people, face it, most metal fans are just drunken idiots.

That would be the same thing with me.

I hate the metal world, and most of it's fans, because people, face it, most metal fans are just drunken idiots.

And also why I hate the metalheads that I meet. They're either the slam wiggers, black n3cro nordics, thrash drunks, industrial rivet heads, power geeks, prog show-offs, or a combination of all and stoners.

I like my metal because of the music not the community, which in any case, can implode and I really wouldn't care.

Sorry, I should have made that more clear.

What I meant by the other list, the more mainstream bands like SOAD and Metallica is that I still listen to them a bit, from time to time so It's worth including them, just they're nowhere near my top bands.

Also, as kinda a contrast to where my taste is at, considering that gives a vague idea of my musical taste, where as the first (real) list is further in depth.

I guess the second list is more of a reminder to myself of what I used to listen to all the time, and what I listen to now.

Yeah I agree. Im quite partial to a bit of 80s pop, new wave and that. I still like listening to 90s music too for old time's sake.

That's exactly it. The community often is the actual thing which repulses people from music, usually people who are concerned about popularity etc. But I can perfectly respect anyone who likes a genre which I dont happen to like, as long as they're not gay about how I feel about my favourite types of music. It's what the music does for you, and I think SOAS' account of that was a good example.

I would have to agree. It is more the drunken stupidity of all of the metal community. I've never really liked alcohol, mainly because I hate hangovers. So I'd rather order a lemonade or some orange soda (pop) before I get a beer.

Then again, I do have a beer or two occasionally, but only when I go out and I feel like it. I usually order a lemonade or iced tea to go with it.

I should say, no one liked a genre for the community anyways. I just happen to like most of the community that I'm in, because no other genre can hold one like metal can.
I mean, sure metal can have its assholes and people with heads up their asses, but fuck those people in general anyways.
I think the controversy between a lot of metalheads is either because they are teenagers, and teenagers are just dumb, or it's people still trying to be young when it's time to let go of the youthful ways.
But thats just PEOPLE in general, not a specific community. I still like the family-esque to it. Since you range from arguing about bands, genres, and metal and posers, to feeling an urge to talk to the person wearing an awesome band shirt cause you have respect for that taste.

Maybe it's just because I like to argue, but I still enjoy most of the community.

But ya, none the less, the love should be for th music first and most, or else wtf are you doing anyways?

I listen to Metal but I'm well down to earth and wonderful :).
I'm not an arse in any sense. Despite how my online personality may suggest it :P.

So do i. I mean, of course there are some elitist pricks and faggot prog-"look how fast Petrucci plays, i want to fellate him" wiggers, but overall, I like the community. You know, it's always good when you can talk about your favourite bands with people who actually understand what you are saying :)

I redid my old song "Torture" and I made it extra spooky and minimal.

Here it is, but beware, it has an extra retarded name!

I dont know too many Metalheads, they all seem pretty down to earth to me. Funny really, I always saw metalheads as quite eccentric characters, but not the ones I know.

And what SOAS was saying...whenever I see a person wearing a t shirt of an awesome band, I do a geeky thing by pointing at the shirt and doing the thumbs up at them. I could only start a conversation out of it though if we were both drunk, because I couldnt approach a metalhead who I dont know, because I can never predict what category of metal fan they are. If they are one of those geek ones though, im fine :P

And the thing about being drunk is I ALWAYS start talking about music.

and that's why I do like it here <3

Ive made some random friends through shirts. Im not very shy, so eh, I have no problem talking to them if the timing is right. The last friend i made through a t-shirt was a kid name Jonathan, he passed by with an Anthrax shirt, and my friend Nick yelled out how his shirt was awesome, and I cut in with " ya I always see you around with a megadeth shirt". Then again, we became thrash buddies :D
A lot of times we're in groups, so its less awkward to talk to a person you dont know and act goofy and yell at a kid about metal and their awesome shirt.
But ya, a lot of times if im wearing a megadeth shirt and see someone else with it, we'll both just kind smile and be like EHHH AWESOME TASTE, while passing by. It's lots of fun.

And the thing about being drunk is I ALWAYS start talking about music.

Oh man, when Foufes was still a metal bar, a shit load of my friends would go together, and half way through the night, you could hear them chanting
"Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall"
Holding their wrists up into the air. Some chick leaned in and asked wtf was going on, and I had to merely reply " it's a metal thing" since im sure explaining manowar would be useless.

Or the times they'd ALWAYS gang up on me about megadeth vs metallica. Those were good drinking times at the bar. Too bad most stopped going :(
