Yeah, I know. Just about everyone has been brainwashed into thinking anything heavier than Justin Timberlake (don't hit me just because I can name someone who isn't metal) is metal or basically taboo. Hell, in NI they're basically the same thing. As I've stated before, the good news is that it means no mallkids, because there's no mainstream metal. You get a few exceptions like myself, but that's 1 in a million we're talking about.

And listen to this, some dude that I go to guitar lessons with, I figured him as okay, he's pretty bad at it, but still, I had nothing against him. Then we get a fill-in teacher, and he asks each of us (me, him, and an 8 year old girl called Kelsie) what we would want to play. He asks me, and I say I really only listen to stuff where the guitars are over complicated, then I play a segment of the opening riff of Master of Puppets. He asks if I know anything simpler that the others could play, and I say no. (I do, but that's stuff like Tommy Imanuel and Pink Floyd. Which I have no interest in sharing with other people)

Then, the guy asks him if we could play something by Mika. I literally (I AM FUCKING SERIOUS) threw up in my mouth at that point, to avoid embarrasment I swallowed it again. The teacher apparently caught this, then learned us how to play By the Way-Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

I lost all respect for anyone but myself at that point.

So, cutting to the chase, what the media thinks is rock and or metal=Usually pop rock, emo, or in the HEAVIEST, fucking brutal cases...Metalcore. And I don't mean stuff like Lamb of God and Chimaira, not even Trivium or Killswitch. I'm talking about the REALLY hardcore punkish stuff.

Exactly. Before I got into real metal bands, I was into that sort of stuff. My favourite band back then was SOAD and I still like them, just not as much as I used to. However, I've lost a lot of interest in Korn and Slipknot when I heard a lot of other bands. I'm so glad I got into bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween and Blind Guardian. :D

Just kidding. By raw you don't mean bedroom bm "Rainfall" style right?

lol, no way. I just replaced a lot of the digital production with analog microphones.

It sounds more professional, way less "bedroom"-like. I like it and I think you will too.

Also, I could play bass for you if you want. You know, just a thought.

I'll keep that in mind for future stuff, thanks. It's still working well with a digital low-end bass synth at the moment.

You don't like metal, you're not in, go play somewhere else.

Oh by the way guys, NG might be working for me again, but Bigbadron's hunting down all my alts, and deleting their posts as well. Lmfao.

I know i'm not supposed to rate other peoples lists so I won't. I'll just tell you that everyone else is gonna flame you for not being metal.

I only liked SOAD and Metallica. I was also into punk like Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, and The Ramones. I'm glad my brother showed me Black Sabbath.

My nu-metal phase lasted for only a month or two. I hate looking back at it. I didn't really listen to real metal much until 3 years ago.

I must be one of the few who didn't have a nu-metal phase. I went straight from not really liking music to loving Motörhead.

Damnit!!!!! I just got into ticket-master to check out the upcoming gigs and i realized that today Amon
Amarth is gonna play here in mexico city, there are no tickets left, and besides i've got no money, but i hate when i miss concerts like this >:(

Binded By Fear is one very, very kick arse melodic death metal song. And the vocalist pretty much uses black metal rapss too, and that just made me instantly cum. Great song.

And I just went from jazz to metal, strangely enough. 6 yearsof loving jazz before my damn cousin played me Blackened by Metallica. Metallica spawned me onto Megadeth, then I learnt about thrash, then opened up to more brutal things like death and black, starting with Dimmu Borgir and Deicide, until I became into a full progressive and black metal head.

Dream Theater and Gorgoroth are now my favourite bands.

I know your pain brother, that happens to me all the time. The shows I go to are all in NYC so it's either packed or sold out when I get there. Sucks.

Speaking of Disco, my mom use to listen to so much of that crap in the late 90s. I remember being in the car with her and always hearing some disco song on whatever radio station, like one that sticks out in my mind was some song that went " 'cause we're gonna boogie oogie oogie till we just can't boogie no more". It was horrible how much she use to listen to it. Thankfully now, I have not heard her listen to a disco song in quite some time, and I hope it stays that way.

I just hate how a lot of people either look at metal as either childish or evil. As if A) It's some phase that if you don't "grow out" of by the time you're 18 it's childish or B) you'll kill yourself or other people and/or grow increasingly violent just by listening to it.

I think the same, only one difference, i don't hate them, i despise them, i think that hate is a really strong emotion and i only hate someone when i really mean it and have reasons to

I think that is how people should look at Mainstream Rap rather than Metal.

I don't hate the people themselves. I hate the misconception.

I agree to a certain extent. While I do agree it's bad that they encourage gun violence and gang banging and shit like that, I think it's cool if someone wants to listen to it. That's their business. I won't judge them based on it.

Here 's our point exposed...lol

First MMFE's blog is gone, and now so is the forum.

Sigh.

My musical evolution was sort of weird. For a while, all I listened to was Led Zeppelin, classic rock, and AOL Radio's "metal" and "hard rock" stations. Then I stopped using AOL radio, and the only thing heavy I listened to for about nine months was SOAD, who I still like today (not their new stuff, though). Then I got into metal because of Metalocalypse, and I went through a month or two long death metal phase, but that ended relatively fast. Then I got into folk, black and viking metal and here I am now.

Lucky? Try going to a Primary School were they have a bi-annual disco...God, I'm glad those 7 years of my life are over. I didn't even have any band shirts back then. As I really only liked stuff like Metallica and Trivium. I only had these 1 size too small polo shirts. Which was worsened because I had a REALLY REALLY FUCKING BAD weight problem by then. Since P6 I've only increased 3 stone in weight. (9-12 Which is still pretty unhealthy at a first glance, but hey, muscle weighs more than fat) So I had to fake an Athsma attack...3 times it was, to get out of it. It was all in the spirit of not looking like a douche.

Even worse, they got this guitar (a Stagg, if I can remember correctly) and made some douche get up there and play it. I couldn't play it back then, but I still knew everything about it. The guy was playing it open, swining his arm up and down like a douche, then for kicks he tried to do a power slide (very poorly) he ended up falling over. Not to mention he made the horns with the thumb extended. (OFFENSIVE)

They should have, like, alternative parties or something like that at Grammar School to accept people's tastes better. Disco, Rap stage thingy, and a Mosh Pit.

Frankly, I probably couldn't get that idea put forward because of the 'violence in a mosh pit'. (That would be more hardcore dancing) But a man can dream.

So what if its a fad, it was really enjoyable. And thats all that matters.

Firstly, here's a list of Songs that MUST BE METALIZED!

Pokemon Fight< theme thingy
ísland er land þitt
Rollercoaster of love
Á Sprengisandi (My idea my idea My idea, Steal it and die)

Continue the list, please.

Secondly, I¨m sorry for not posting much while i am in Norge, one of my nephews here is like 10, And he NEVER goes off the computer.

Jees people stop whining.
I actually grew into nu metal without going through a nu metal phase at first. I started out with crap bands like Nile and Arch Enemy, then moved on to more interesting stuff, then discovered the fun of nu metal. Static-X is definetly in my top 10 favourite bands these days. They're so damn catchy and fun to listen to.
