What's the point of heavy metal? It shouldn't exist.

You have made a powerful e-enemy :evil:Lto_thaG

[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]I used to be really really into metal and most of its subgenres. I'm not anymore, but I don't think that it's bad music. Of course there bad metal bands, but there are bad bands of every genre. I don't think that it's pointless, and I don't think that playing in a metal band lacks talent. Blazerdt47

Of course dude metal totally lacks talent! I have never heard one good song in this genre. It all sounds the same to! Truly is is the most talentless genre around, YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS!

I can't stand heavy metal. I used to be a fan of metal (not the heavy stuff), but stopped listening in favour of good music. That was probably 6 or 7 years ago though.

But most people on OT are metal fans so you'll find that very few people here will agree with you.

OK, I'm gonna go ahead and buy that album now. :P

That was one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time.

sure...Anything specific?Lto_thaG

Well, just my good ol´ avatar with something christmas related on top. :3 I make a virtue out of keeping all things me highly unoriginal.

I agree with you completely TC :) No, srsly.

"Goes back to headbang on some Prog. Death Metal and awaits for a metal head to tell me that term sucks/is wrong etc"

The same reason why there exist country music, hip hop, POP, Rap, blah blah blah and any other subgenres out there. People have different tastes in music. I cannot stand the fans though, the majority come off as a bunch of snobby elitist Dante2710

You can't even hear the lyrics to the song of the dude singing and all it is is shaking your head up and down like crazy. I'd rather listen to Soulja Boy and I HATE Soulja Boy.

Too each his own. I like certain Heavy Metal but I do like understanding the lyrics. If its a heavy metal show however, the intensity of that type of music makes for awesome rocking.

Whats the point of Rap and Hip Hop? Its just stupid people destroying the english language with increasingly bad grammar and lyrics that would not be good even to people who are stoned out of their mind. Whats the point of Pop music? Its just stuck up divas with faces coverd by layers of makeup that even the apocalypse couldnt remove whining about everything and anything, elongating every note till the words loose all meaning.

Have you ever listend to Judas Priest? Iron Maiden? Metallica? Megadeth? Anthrax? Black Sabbath? Those are just a few Heavy Metal (some are thrash metal too) bands that have clean vocals, and there are many, many more.

You are correct sir, usually vocals are just another instrument not meant to be heard but to add to the feel of the music. X360PS3AMD05

Melody, harmony, rhythm. If it has those three things, it's music. Metal just does them in such an unorthodox way that a lot of people wouldn't like it. What's interesting to me is that every time someone complains about metal is that they can't hear the words, as if that's the only thing that matters about music.

I may not like the singing about Gods etc..but i like some..sub genres of metal...Sayng metal shouldn't exist is like saying Hannah Montana deserves to be famous because her music is full of depth and meaning...the fact that her music sounds generic makes it good...:roll:

Metal has quite a large amount of variety and many times the lyrics are great...and i don't shake my head up and down..:P

Well when your veins are full of chemicals it's awesome. But seriously if people like then keep it.

Do your ears a favor and listen to oldies and classical or motown. Todays "pop" music is undeniable crap.

omg yes, let lady gaga conquer the world...Skull007o_O

'Metal' is a vast world with more sub-genres than any other kind of music. Reading your first post I can only assume that you got lost somewhere in the death metal section and got scared and stuck your head up your butt.

Sadly much of the music today is made by VANs: Various Angry Nymhphos.

Iron Maiden... No screaming, lyrics make perfect sense, no scary people etc.

I mean theres something for evreyone in metal if you can just put up with the speed/loudness. You just wondered up death metal alley...
Yeah DM has lots of screaming and growling, most bands use too much noise to cover up bad lyrics/singing etc. But eaven DM has bands with good lyrics etc.

You just gotta look, good metal isnt gonna hit you in the face

If everyone on the planet said XX genre of music shouldn't exist, there'd be no music left on Earth.

Gethsemane - Nightwish

Lyrics:

Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...

You wake up, where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you

Another beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinitely dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise

Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose

"I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautiful one
Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"

Without you
The poetry within me is dead

Gosh, you're right. That is so noisy and shallow and stupid. :roll:

lmfao. no offense but that was terrible.

Not all nu metal bands are crappy..:(...and you're right about the instrument thing..if that's "no talent" then it sure sounds better then people like lady gaga who have " a lot" of talent..

There is just no talent at all. And did you see that band that played at the end of the VGA awards??? OMG they were terrible! Xx_Hopeless_xX

Ah too much ignorance. I can't even be bothered responding to your post. I do feel sorry for you though, for the fact you are not open-minded enough to understand why certain music appeals to different people. You don't have to like it, but as long as you can understand how someone could like it, you wouldn't need to make such ridiculous generalizations like you just did. I am a metalhead, but I hope you enjoy the music you listen to, and I can respect that. Think about what you're saying.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]

[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]No talent at all? Playing instruments requires no talent? I beg to differ. There are some really good metal guitarists, drummers, bassists, etc. out there. You're obviously only seeming to acknowledge crappy nu metal bands. There's a lot more to the genre than that.

I don't really enjoy happy go lucky music anyway..so it's perfect for me..:P

wouldn't say any genre of music is "crappy", except for teeny bopper music. trust_nobody
