Can you say 'I'm going to kill you in your sleep?'

Can you say 'highly respected former horseman of the metal hell > you'?

No shit.

:Shit I won't listen to the radio anymore because the so-called metal station out here mainly plays :metalcore and numetal.

Where I live the....2 radio channels (4 or 5 if you live in Reykjavík), Never play anything remotely close to metal, Only shit pop, And Some good music, That i Can respect, but still don¨t like that much, like Björk, Radiohead, And Mew.

:It's fucking sad really, I grew up with the greats and you guys get mass marketed bullshit except for :the bands that haven't sold out their integrity yet.

Until VERY recently, I disagreed with you.
I noticed.
The greats are dying, And being replaced by utter shit bands.
Nu metal, Metalcore, and Emo....
Are killing metal, It's like grunge is back, Except it is COMPLETE shit.

I noticed, I think it was the day before I left to Norway, I turned on iTunes, And put the sorting on by year, Accidentally, All I got was shit, No Mallcore from me of course, But like, Good bands gone really bad, In the recent years.

Also, It¨s not just Metal, although that is what it mostly is , And what I care about the most, It's pretty much all music.

Punk, In my mind utterly stone cold dead.
Rock, Hell, THe only really good rock Band I can think of now Is Wolfmother. (Of course meaning new/Newish bands)

:Fuck the Music Industry and their beliefs in what metal is. Fuck it all, i for one have had enough. And :the fucked up thing is the kids just keep buying into the bullshit. Fuck it all to hell.

lmfao there have never been more metal bands in the world than today, what are you people bitching about? That people don't know true metal anymore? Have they ever??

Yes, oddly enough.

Can you say 'My Roma Spear>Your ban stick?'

But enough arguing. Kidd is pretty right.

Metalheads are a dying breed, we're like the musical equivalent of the Templar Knights. However alive Metal may be, it'll never be as strong as it was in the past two decades. So, unless the general public and people below 30 start to smarten up again, we're fucked, basically.

I don't see these problems either. I mean, yeah, many bands turned to shit over the years, but there is still a good deal of promising new/newish stuff out there.

The actual problem, like batman mentioned, is the lack of exposure for good metal and hardrock bands on the radio/TV. Emo/Screamo completely dominate, which is too bad, since I'd even prefer Country over that shit.

No, what pisses me off is that there may be more metal bands but how many are actually good? And out of all the good ones how many get radio play?

Good, new bands might spawn less and less, true. But the old good ones haven't gone anywhere. Shit even Dio's still around. Metal doesn't got any major airplay because it might be a super mainstream genre, but not directed to the actual mainstream. And hell, I don't want more metal fans anyway, since 99,9% of them are simple minded idiots. Metal doesn't deserve radio play. Metal's a trend on its own, this includes the 'true' bands. Cannibal Corpse fans these days are as bad as MCR fanboys. It's all turned into a joke. In fact, it always has been. When you look at old footage from the Iron Maiden prime days, their fans are stoned idiots who try to rebel against 'that pussy punk music shit'. What kind of retardation is that?? Barely anyone listens to metal for the music anyway, people listen to it because it's metal. And listening to metal makes you 'different'. Now the quality of the bands (excluding rare exceptions) might've gone down, and the media is promoting gay ass bands, metal fans will always be mainly mainstreaming idiots. This ranges from Slipknot maggots to die hard old school thrash metal bikers with the denim vests and a bazillion band patches.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of the music (I'm selective but I like quite a bit), but being super elitist about it just makes you as lame as them. This wasn't directed at you btw, it's more of a general rant.
Conclusion, complaining that good metal doesn't get enough attention is very, very, very untrue. And even if they got more attention, it'd be pointless.

If a Metal band got popular you'd all get pissed off and call them mallcore anyway.
Just look at Cannibal Corks.

I love CC. They've been one of my favourite bands since i started listening to metal. I think their success is well earned (especially when listening to albums like "Bloodthrist" and "Vile").

Listen gaybow, just because a metal band is popular doesn't mean it's shite, just look at DragonForce, Metallica and Machine Head. They're all pretty popular, but despite that they continue to make good music. Anyway, what's wrong with Cannibal Corpse? I've got Kill and The Bleeding, and they continue to amaze the shit out of me everytime I listen to a song of theirs.

wait what now? Metallica havent made anything good since... since... fucking 1987. DragonFore have always been utter crap and Machine Head havent really made anything thats much good at all

I believe I said 'you'd all get pissed off'.
Not 'I think they'd be shit.'

Learn to read dickshit.
You're making yourself look stupider and stupider each time you try to argue with me.

And what Crowler said, who the fuck cares about Metallica. And Machine Head can get bent for all I care. Awful band... bar Imperium.

I don't think popularity changes a band in any way (unless you're Metalica... which in turn changes Megadeth cause Dave seems to copy them down to a tee - sorry Sam, but its true...).

Popularity doesn't change bands... Roadrunner does.
Fact... and Bahamut will agree on that.

Why are you all complaining about music other then metal? let it be. Seriously, the hype of the moment doesn't influence my taste, and if everybody else likes crap music, it's their loss.

Perhaps I don't really have the right to say much, because I always had a decent school with a fair amount of people who like metal. The only problem I ever encountered there were some 'metal'kids with too much enthousiasm. Like starting to mosh when the prodigy is being played...

I died a bit on the inside when Dream Theater left Atco and joined Roadrunner.
BLEH.

I don't really care about what record label has what bands, if they are good I listen to them

i honestly like most nu metal . but i can't fucking stand metalcore . it's always the same damn thing : the bands always have this gay emo image , breakdowns are used ALL THE FUCKING TIME , and the audience members always do that gay little dance where they swing their arms around like a bunch of retards .

I got Gealtacht Mael Mórdha by Mael Mórdha (they're Celtic doom metal). I haven't listened to the whole album yet.
