This. So hard.

To you, maybe. But to me Metal >>>>>>>>> rap

See Demi's post above.

Random view numbers are random. Those are your figures, not actual figures. Plus it's Youtube, go look at Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber and compare views with your precious rap.

Have fun with that. I'm gonna go listen to actual music.

Demi-God

Lol, no .

kael03

Your opinion, not mine. My opinion is metal is actual music and rap is not. Again, my opinion. I enjoy metal in most of its forms (punk metal needs to just die).

A comment by nlb intrigues me, though. What would you call "pussy death metal"? List a couple bands in the genre you listen to and I'll see if I can't further expand your horizons.

Jaxon

I don't really like melodic metalcore, generally. I have a soft spot for Killswitch Engage though.

Miburo

Wasn't trying to imply that the music doesn't evoke emotion, only that it doesn't for me. I don't know enough about music to judge it based on objective quality or anything. That's why I never really talk about music shit, other than stating my personal preference or some shit.

Like, I don't really like Bullet to my Valentine (I do like All That Remains though, Kael =D). I dunno if they actually suck or not, because I dunno how to judge music in any sort of objective way. Jaxon probably knows, so it's cool if he implies that it sucks. I just stick to saying "I lyke/dislyke dat."

So, tl;dr version: Wasn't saying the shit you like isn't good or anything. In fact, it probably is pretty good, since OH comrades tend to have superior taste in all things.

Fuck yeah!

And I do like that mulan song.

Be a man!
With all the force of a great TYPHOON!

kael03

Fair enough answer.

Saw them at Mayhem Fest '09 and I was in the pit. They put on a hell of a show and I wish I could've seen them when Phil Labonte was subbing for Howard last fall (they even printed shirts that said "Philswitch Engage" for the rest of that tour).

kael03

Ok, I happened to have been listening to Bullet at the time of that post so I was search for songs that matched your post. What'd you think of the Shadows Fall song?

=D \m/ win. ATR is probably one of my top favorite metalcore bands.
Suck/don't suck is all a matter of personal tastes. Jaxon isn't a fan of Bullet and I respect that. Demi isn't a fan of metal (I'm guessing) and I respect that. My personal tastes fall in line with metal and most of its forms, so to me it doesn't suck. My personal taste with rap is the extreme vast majority sucks (according to my own tastes in music, this isn't an absolute thing).

Essentially this.

Pussy death metal is death metal that should be in the lighter metal section because it really doesn't sound like death metal. I heard a couple but don't really know the artist's name since I didn't see it.

I just started Death Metal as I said earlier so I know very few(My friend introduced me to rock, metal, heavy metal, and death metal.) Deathclok and Mastodon are probably the only death metal/heavy metal I know. I listen to Primus because the bass is crazy. Some other bands are "30 seconds from Mars" The Smiths, Smashing Pumpkins and Blink 182. A couple of others I heard on Guitar hero but I never really looked into their songs.

ninjalostboy95

Oh yeah, Metallica. How did I forget about that?

Demi-God

An opinion sure but, calling an entire genre of music... not music seems a bit extreme I would say, not saying you have to like it, but denying it's actual music seems a bit much. Kind of like saying you're gonna go eat at Burger King because McDonalds doesn't make actual food.

Actually don't have a lot of Death Metal, though if you have good links always willing to give it a listen. Send 'em my way. =D

Oh, no, that's what I was trying to say, it's a valid point because it's a matter of taste. While it doesn't evoke emotional response in you, it does to me, so I can't expect you to like it or look down on you for not liking it if it doesn't really stimulate you in anyway. (Hehe, stimulate.)

kael03

So "pussy death metal" is metalcore bands. Groups like All That Remains, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, etc. gotcha.

If you listen to Dethklok then you'll like Cannibal Corpse since the guy that created Dethklok took a lot of influences from Cannibal Corpse. There's also Whitechapel (look up the song "This is Exile"), Job for a Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth, Amon Amarth, and several others that you might enjoy.

Primus is alternative rock.

And now you fell into punk rock. The main genre I cannot stand in the Rock spectrum. I do like 30 seconds to Mars and some Smashing Pumpkins (fun fact, the original bassist is from my home town).

I'll forgive you for this one just once.

kael03

...are you sure you want me to do that? A lot of the Death Metal I listen to is kinda on the extreme side of the spectrum.

Demi-God

Go for it man, music is music.
