deftones and nine inch nails is two bands, that i absolutely just don't understand, that people i share music taste with usually love as wellHa it's cool, I love TR but literally no project involving Maynard of TOOL et al infamy clicks for me. There's the occasional song, and people whose work I respect and others whose opinions I respect are into it, but it just doesn't happen for me.
I once went on a Grindr hook up, and when I arrived, the guy was watching a live concert DVD of Madonna’s.
I couldn’t help myself.
‘Why are you watching this?’ I asked. ‘She’s rubbish’.
‘You don’t like Madonna?’ he replied. ‘Get out.’
He literally kicked me out.

Old wipipo itt. Mumble gets tossed around a bit, I have heard it labeling Migos over to like Wiz :lol
Also Lil Uzi is legit great, XO tour lif3 one of the best tunes of the twenty teens.
What you're not psyched on a high percentage of popular material in the genre being bad xeroxes of 'ye's 808s lp? :yeshrugOld wipipo itt. Mumble gets tossed around a bit, I have heard it labeling Migos over to like Wiz :lol

I mean, all rap is pretty terrible, except a few of the old school groups from the 80s, but this modern sad boy mumble shit is beyond garbage.
it took me about twenty years to finally understand the love for deftones, specifically white pony, which funnily enough happened earlier this morning.
What ended up doing it for you?
I didn't hate them, but didn't much like them for years until my old band wanted to do covers of Bored and My Own Summer, at which point I became a big fan.
What NIN have you listened to?
Deftones, Mastodon, Opeth, Tool and Foo Fighter for rock based music. Especially Foo Fighters, which just sounds like the most boring rock possible.
Rap wise probably Pusha T and the Clipse. Daytona was a banger due to production alone but Pusha is as average as average gets flow wise, has a boring ass voice, and his lyrics are kinda shit. Dude's wordplay is full of dad joke energy.
i'm old, the thread
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItosTQ4PVlIWhat NIN have you listened to?
growing up with a parent that liked nin, pretty much fucking all of it. not so much deftones though, just seen them live at festival twice, and found it very boring.

Foo fighters for sure for me as well. It's like they set out to make the most generic boring ass rock music they could, even shit like nickelback stands out more, as at least that's cheesy as fuck all the way through. foo fighters is just forgetable all around.
Foo Fighters is still better than Nirvana. :idont

Leonard CohenNah man, Leonard Cohen is fucking great. Sit in a dark room on a winter night with a glass of whisky and something like "You want it darker" playing and you'll get him for sure.
Although, I'm not sure you would classify him as "popular", more of a critics darling.

Queen and Radiohead are my top 2
I can appreciate that Freddy Mercury is a master class singer, but Queen songs are the most obnoxious shit on the planet.
eh, honestly I've been so depressed about the current state of Metal, I mostly listen to backlog stuff. Thankfully it's such an abundant genre that there are still bands from the late 90's and early 2000's that I can still discover. I have so been revisiting some artists I used to rock back in the day, but stopped for whatever reason and catching up on their newer stuff I haven't heard. Theory In Practice and Pestilence are two examples.
I went through a big Finnish melo-death phase in the past year, I saw Wolfheart (they opened for Swallow the Sun) a couple of months ago in an embarrassingly tiny venue. They were great.
Lately I've been super into Coroner, a band I've always been aware of but have not given a chance until latrly once my tastes matured to their current state. Really great thrash riffing, reminiscent of RIP era Dave Mustaine, and fantastic lead playing which is rare for old school thrash bands.
This Krypts band is pretty good stuff!

I'm mostly the same but juggle genres. I probably listen to three or four new albums a year of whatever genre (I've heard good shit I've only heard once, but I'm not 19 anymore where I could listen to new and old shit all the time and keep discovering shit).
As far as older bands I've gotten into it's been Morbid Angel about a year ago as I found it to be pretty good for working out, and outside of that delving into the deeper discographies of bands I already like as my High On Fire example shows. I'll look into Coroner as I admit I've never listened to them, RIP era Dave Mustaine makes me want to listen to them now.
As for the state of Metal I'm not sure if hate or love it tbh. As there's clearly less of it visible compared to even just 7 years ago but there's some insanely good shit if you dig real deep. The problem is not that different from what it appeared like to me in 2005ish with the noted exception of less visibility. Too many mediocre bands choosing to be iterative while not having their own identity to make it worth a listen, too many fans sticking to their one niche which makes getting recommendations an annoying process of elimination, and no clear through line past a certain point with just how much is out there now. But I get it as digging is not something I'm all that inclined to do often so in spite of always being in the mood for great new metal, going through several mediocre to bad work to get to it isn't something I'm willing to do too often. But when shit hits it fucking hits. I found a decent channel on youtube for synth and fucking dirty punk if you're into either, if I find a good source for recentish metal I'll be sure to send it your way.

I asked Danti this a while back. I don’t know where to start with metal. I find electronic less intimidating. Probably because I grew into that genre.
I know the Metallica’s, the Megadeth’s, the Black Sabbath’s and that’s about it.
I’ve been wanting to get into the genre but I don’t know where to start.
Coroner knocks. Thanks for that Agra.
And lol dude imagine being me. I have no understanding whatsoever as to why Opeth, Mastodon and Meshuggah are revered in the slightest. But they're undoubtedly beloved bands with seminal work at this point with a far reaching influence. A lot of metal will come from a space I don't particularly care for whether I like it or not. I still find excellent work here and there, sometimes influenced by the very bands I dislike. but it was rough having those guys as the big bands as that isolated me in an already insular enclave that is metal.
I do, however, always go out of my way to check out the big bands as I believe I should be well versed in metal, even though I look less like a metal head and more like some arab dude in a polo shirt the older i get. Pallbearer were the big ones for the minute and I definitely didn't get into that not for lack of effort in seeing when it would click. That said, I come across bands I enjoy on varied spectrum of metal every so often. Funny that you bring up code orange or whatever the fuck, as they've been recommended to me and i keep forgetting to delete them from my ipod :lol
Megadeth are more punk than Metallica, and slightly jazzy in ways (IIRC Chris Poland was originally a Jazz guitarist so there's some influence there in the early albums). And from what I know of your tastes not surprised that it worked for you.
Cindi, I recommend this band called Cutie earlier in the trhead. they aren't metal, they're punk, I'm sure you'll take a liking to them.

I like Slayer. But they’re not the hardcore Satan crap I’m talking about.
There is also a ton of death metal that has nothing to do with satanism at all, and even black metal. There are Christian black metal bands!
Oh Cindi metal subgenres are such a fucking rabbit hole. There even is such a thing as shoegaze black metal.

GENIUS
Spaceballs is fucking awful, yes. But Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are masterpieces.
I will say I generally don't find most comedies to be funny, but I do find them entertaining so still worth a watch. I never really thought Ghostbusters, Animal House and Caddyshack were all that funny save a few jokes but I still ended up really liking to loving said movies because they were entertaining regardless. It's the same with horror movies, I don't find any or most particularly scary but I enjoy the vibe and atmosphere they go for.
Basically, I'm a robot.
That's a good point, but movies like Space Balls and The Producers (And Robin Hood to a lesser extent) are so schlocky and dense with "ya get it?" nudges that it completely ruins the entertainment beyond the comedy aspect. I will check out Blazing Saddles and report in.Comedy ages differently more than anything else. Go back and watch Duck Soup, there's entire scenes where the gag is "Harpo monologues something goofy" or "Harpo goes one way, something happens, he turns around and sends a brother to danger instead." Blazing Saddles, Airplane, etc. were targeting their moments, like almost all comedy.

electronic music genres are as confusing to me as metal genres are to most people.
Never heard Dio before today. Tonight on a walk I listened to Holy Diver (the song). As if an epiphany, the shadows of the trees shook during its pulsing ambient intro as the stars turned their backside to me. Pitch black. The wind gasped a nasally sigh; my hair blew. Then the guitars started. I had goosebumps.
I've listened to a bit of metal but it had never had an impact on me like that before.
I now want to fuck Dio.
Agra just check out some synthwave. Lots of longtime metalheads have gotten into it (including myself). It uses similar imagery of satanism and demonry just with a neon tint. Check out Perturbator, Carpenter Brut and Megadrive.
listen to every Savatage album.

Anthropologist Sam Dunn traced the origins of power metal back to the late 1970s, when the groundwork for power metal lyrical style was laid down by Ronnie James Dio. The fantasy-oriented lyrics he wrote for Rainbow, concentrated around medieval, renaissance, folk, and science fiction themes, directly influenced modern power metal bands
and a late 80's pinup dreamboat who is still looking good nearly 30 years later.
There's a video of Brian May just losing his mind over the Get the Funk Out solo

I desperately need more metal in the same feel as Holy Diver. Music has never empowered like this before. :( I need more. Went through Rainbow and Dio Sabbath today and I still ended up listening to Holy Diver (lp) back to back to back. I even went out to look for the cd version so I could bask in the visuals, store, notes, pictures, booklet, and lyrics. No luck.

i think no-one has mentioned maiden because they're such an omnipresence in metal that it almost seems superfluous.
don't swerve the first two albums, completely different vibe but some people prefer them.
the only ones to avoid are anything after seventh son and before brave new world.
The only good power metal band is Slough Feg probably.
Cyndi you should give doom metal a try, I think a lot of the bands being Christian probably works for you. Saint Vitus, Candlemass, and Trouble are bomb.
i actually think i prefer dio sabbath and ozzy's solo stuff (rhoads era) to anything sabbath did with ozzy.
and i prefer the faith no more version of my favourite sabbath ozzy era song.
I have been really getting into the female-fronted 70s revival doom rock thing that's been happening for a while.
Bands like The Riven and Gone Cosmic have really taken up heaps of my listening time over the last couple of years.

It was an OG single from when they were first starting out. Personally I'm a fan of grimy underground mixing :yeshrug
They do have a guttural sound all around but I'd disagree with that seeing as that White Lines Fever recording is my favorite for how rough it is.
Not all bands are going to click with you and that's fine, but Motorhead had a pretty good run there for a while. Not sure why Lemmy's voice bothers you this much but different strokes and all that.

Just going to drop this here cause it's sick and let you move on to whatever else.
Then there was the frontman’s outfit. The chained sailor’s cap, leather trousers and cut-off leather jacket over a bare chest, accessorised by studded wristbands and a whip, screamed one clear message to us kids: he must be really hard.
“In all honesty it never crossed my mind,” says Rob Halford, who came out in 1998 to the surprise of no one, apart from the under-12s. “I would dress up in leather, with the whips and chains, and the farthest thing from my mind was that I looked like a gay guy. Later on, when people referenced it, I thought, ‘You know what? Maybe they’ve got a point.’ ”
Heavy metal is a mostly heterosexual world, despite its theatrical tendencies. You would imagine Halford’s coming-out might dent the band’s appeal. In fact, the opposite happened.
“The reaction from the metal crowd was, ‘You think we didn’t know?’ ” he says. “Heavy metal fans feel like outsiders anyway and it turns out I wasn’t the only gay in the metal village. I got these wonderful letters, beautiful expressions of solidarity, people saying what a relief it had been for them. Now here we are in 2018 and we still have a long way to go.”
Holy FUCK. I listened to Number of the Beast last night twice in a row. I liked it but listened through iPhone with Apple buds. Today I listened to it on my car speakers while working. The difference is night and day. What a fucking album!
Definitely investing in better speakers for home.

I have listened to Death's Scream Bloody Gore.

Given vocalist Tom Araya’s avowed Catholic faith, any reference to Satanism or apostasy inadvertently falls a bit flat, and one wonders whether we sort of… wasted… that day on a band who are thoroughly iconic and objectively sick, but don’t actually give much of a toss about the Dark Lord.
I'll always appreciate some Gojira. Those dudes are fucking amazing live too.

I do. It's why I gravitated to black and like doom. It can be slower and with an emphasis on atmosphere. Unlike what a lot of edgy extreme metalheads think, FAST != HEAVY. Black Sabbath's self titled song is one of the heaviest, if not THE heaviest songs I've ever heard and it's slow as balls. Slowness allows you to soak every note, every beat. Slowness allows a heavy, thick atmosphere.
Can't believe you linked EyeHateGod. A black christian linking songs from a band that made this. (Think they changed the song name after Melvins' drummer Dale Crover toured with them though.)

I don't buy that they're racists or that's a racist song (not that I can make out the lyrics lol), they've been asked about it loads of times and they categorically deny being racist or the song being racist, the name was for dumb shock value and they regret giving it that name since it's forever painted them as racists in some people's eyes. Apparently they took the name from a song by the Avengers but I don't know if the Avengers have been called a racist band because of their song.
I mean, make your own mind up about the song and the band, if you feel like they're nazis then whatever, but I just don't see that. Yeah the name is really fucking stupid (and yeah they've changed it since) but they've got other songs with pretty dumb names too. I guess even the band's name is pretty dumb.
Anyway I'm pretty sure there are still some people that think Black Flag and Minor Threat are secret nazi bands too, sooo.... :doge

Yeah that's pretty much how I've always seen it. A lot of bands have done some pretty dumb shit for shock value, so I usually just think well maybe they're not the brightest but they rock so I can give it a pass if it's not some clear pattern of shittiness.
While I'm on the subject of EHG, this is one of my favorite band shirts that I own, love the nod to Bad Brains (also not a really big nazi thing to do to make a tribute to them):

Do they cover a diverse selection of metal?Yep. It's a great place to discover new music. The writing is consistently excellent too and the whole site has a professional tone that is absent from most enthusiast websites.
Had to leave the show after like one song. It was my first metal show and it was far too loud. I’m positive my hearing will be fucked by this. Apparently via google it’s suggested to wear ear plugs town shows which no one bothered to mention which is disappointing. The show was also free. I’m pretty sure I fucked my hearing free of cost. What a miserable experience.o
Edit: ended up going back. The fuckers hid the earplugs at the window. Mother fuckers. Note: they had us skip the window.
Metal fans have always rewarded quality over hype. Hyped bands have always had exceedingly short runs. I guess people don't get into metal because it's fashionable.
I love me some metalhead elitism and chest beating but no, not really. NuMetal was completely trash and I still run into metalheads who love them some System Of A Down, Korn, Disturbed and all that garbage. It's more like with time, good popular acts continue to stick out while the majority of what was popular but very flavor of the month phases out. Nobody listens to MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice unless it's some sort of joke while everybody holds a lot of respect and admiration for Wu-Tang Clan 25 years later, a group that sold considerably less but was still very popular then.
It's not exactly a genre specific thing, or even medium specific thing. Metal's last real mainstream success acts were what? Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch (obligatory :yuck to both)? With Rock as whole on some mainstream downturn for the past 7 or so years I'm not sure who would count as mainstream within metal as far as newer acts go so it's harder to gauge at the moment. But it really isn't as simple as "these certain fans reward quality more than others" cause it's never true whoever you're applying it to.
Lots of metalheads online have suggested the following bands to me:
Slipknot
Korn
Linkin Park
Marilyn Manson
Dragonforce

Also:
Nightwish
Dream Theater
Some others
I can’t judge too harshly because I liked SoaD when I was like 15 and Linkin Park helped me slowly accept I liked the sound of metal. I really hope they were teens.
Also as a teen I loved this song.

If they’re not teens I won’t judge them.
Teens have the worse taste in music.
Hey, nightwish and dream theater are great. Don't hate on them. I tend to like prog / power metal with melodic vocals, and a european feel, but there's some canadian/american stuff in here too. Devin Townsend is especially good if you're into more avante garde kinda stuff.spoiler (click to show/hide)I'll toss out a few other recommendations:

They lost the creative engine of the band anyway.
Went to bed listening to Pancake’s suggestions.
Shit is too good to not leave a thank you while trying to sleep.
But Pagan’s Mind is good shit, pancakes. Progressive power metal, huh? I love power metal so this an interest combo. Riffs are too good. Thanks! :obama
I do agree. But later Sepultura :kobeyuck
I tried Gojira. It was ok. Not my sound but I can give them another try.
Not going to go through the thread to see what you like, because its fucking slow, but what is your "sound" then?
Not technically metal, but this is one of my all time favorite albums.

"THIS IS ABOUT SHOOTING BLOOD FROM MY COCK." :dead
Cyndi... You should give some of the euro death metal a try :Leon
Asphyx-The Rack
Dismember-Like An Everflowing Stream
Emtombed-Left Hand Path
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthnus
What about a space opera:

So omnicient, that if there were two omniciences, he would be both.
LMAO, I'm going to generally agree with this sentiment and I had a few Korn albums when they were a thing. Hey they hit when I was a bitter teenager and they made some weird cool noises with their geetars. I'll still go to bat for Manson's first LP Portrait of an American Family. That warped psychedelia. :rock Linkin Park is shitty american Pop Will Eat Itself, fuck them.I think the general belief is that Slipknot is Mushroomhead for dummies but they may have some tunes, never looked into them. For Dragonforce, uhhh, check out this band called Rhapsody that bust out a full medieval orchestra if you want your dnd brutality? This has been me going on about a genre I generally consider myself to barely know anything about even though Brutal Legend had several of my favorite projects on its ost. :lolLots of metalheads online have suggested the following bands to me:

did you fuck her?
Hey Cindi, if you want something to get out pent up aggression one of Nails' albums might be a good choice. They're like 20 minutes a piece anyways. Consider it therapy.

Tool :snoreEveryone is entitled to an opinion, but this is one bad opinion.
How can you take a song called Prison Sex and make it boring?
Is Tool considered heavy metal? Because if so :sabu
well not really, but the majority of music posted in here isnt heavy metal. I would say prog rock/ prog metal

Joking?
About what? The genres? Most of the stuff posted in here is pretty far from the heavy metal genre, such as iron maiden or black sabbath.
Tool’s later albums are much better than their debut. I really like Lateralus and their latest single is pretty good. Might buy the album on release.I demand an apology!!!!!!!!!!!
Their debut album was :snoreSecretly, I agree with you and think Aenima is their first great album.
Sorry.
Given how much people use its cover as an avatar online and how coveted the band is I expected better. My bad.
I listened to that Norwegian black metal to see what it was all about. Turned out it was just some divs in make up screaming about Harry Potter.More likely screaming about Voldemort and shit, but you're pretty much spot on.
And Sigh.Japanese heavy metal is utterly beautiful.'
ya need to listen to Boris.
:piss baby metal :piss2
Man, for some reason after months of death and thrash metal some trad metal acts like Iron Maiden feel cheesy now :tocry
Still love me tho

It goes in cycles, but there's something you can guarantee, you'll always come back to maiden
Going to a metal concert and being black is one of the most isolating feelings I’ve had in years.Metal is the music of the outsider. Nothing more metal than being an outsider at an outsiders' concert! \m/ >_< \m/
Anything that has core in it is probably shitBut, Converge has *core in it...?

There is some good hardcore. Other than that, you are 100 percent factual and correct. Mathcore is :trash
Only complaint were the moshers. Moshers are fa.gs.
Farting however is just horrible. but i also do it, if it's in the middle of a show. but mine smell good. 8)
Im all for raising stages up and slanting the floor from the front to the back. So many tall people at metal gigs.Farting however is just horrible. but i also do it, if it's in the middle of a show. but mine smell good. 8)There should be elevated sections at all venues for the chill shorter people, not just for the handicapped. All problems solved! Except the farters :doge
Word is supposed to be riff a g e
Can confirm. Machine Head still fucking terrible.:lol
1992 saw the release of Darkthrone’s “A Blaze in the Northern Sky”. Recorded in Kolbotn, it was their second full length effort, but their first within the genre of black metal. The album was extremely influential, and set the bar for a new wave of Norwegian bands that are idolized worldwide to this day. What were the origins of the black metal wave of the 1990’s come from, and why is the music still so popular?
A first edition print of “A Blaze in the Northern Sky" features in Enlightened, the National Library of Norway’s new permanent exhibition of highlights from Norwegian cultural history. In this event Ted Skjellum, also known as Nocturno Culto, is interviewed by journalist and writer Harald Fossberg.
