So...What's your favorite type of METAL

You can vote for three different options, and if your tastes change, you can change them.

Now, before you ask, nu-metal, metalcore etc. IS NOT FUCKING METAL. So it's not included on this list. Apologies if I have left out a genre; just make do with what I have given you.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT! Just realized I forgot NWOBHM!

Classy. Mine, of course was Death, Thrash and Folk.

1st: Please don't curse.

Any who, the younger generation today likes songs from MR. 1337 H1GH PITCH R3P3T1T1VE R0B0T VOICE (aka Kenya East, Acorn, Fifty cents, etc..) I personally would choose metal any day over those types of songs (as long as it is not just incoherent screaming) though I don't like either. My point is I don't think a whole lot of people are going to post here.

On topic: If I were to choose a favourite type of metal though, it would definitely be metaclorian no matter what you say but since you don't consider it to be these would be my top three:


Speed
Weed
Crack

I got my three options.

The amount of improvement in your spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and common sense really does imply into the whole "trolled" comment.  It seems unlikely that you would intentionally use a broken english type because you were afraid your regular english was horrible when it is indeed above-par.  Not to mention you actually have solid logic points and common sense abilities now.  Whereas before you sounded like an 11 year old on speed.

My favorite type of metal? Doom, and I don't mean just Doom, I meant the game Doom. Have you not heard the awesomeness of the beginning music? 'da da da da da DA! do do do do do DO!". You can't tell me that wasn't the ultimate 8-bit era of Metal back then.

Demons & Wizards is a power metal band


I am about positive now that you are indeed a troll sir, I'm wondering if the previous accusation in fingered's goodbye thread is not to far off afterall.

My bad :-[ I have never heard of them. It's still going to stay in my signature though ;). I'll have to read better to understand the context clues next time.
To me it looked like it was just demons and wizards and not an actually band.

agreed, but I don't remember doom being 8 bit, or maybe I'm thinking about the pixels wrong.

No, I'll be honest, I didn't read the first post thoroughly. I don't listen to much metal, but I do like some metalcore artists such as Killswitch Engage and Atreyu. But since they don't count, I'll just stay out of this thread as it doesn't have much to do with me.

Just want to point somthing out to you. Atreyu is screemo, which is like emo, but, and yes, I know it's scary, worse.

Also, I'd put Killswitch Engage down as nu-metal, but oh well. I guess some of their later stuff may be more metalcore-ie.

I didn't really expect you to. But a quick search could lead you to them I'm sure. It doesn't really matter though.

I voted Heavy, Glam and Thrash, 'cuz, hey, I'm old. 1983 was the shit, dude. :)

@Kaleo: I checked out Nile. Very technical, very death-metallish. Does dude ever sing, or just do that Scando gloom-and-doom growl all the time? Lyrically, looks quite interesting. Musically, a little to the nihilistic side of my personal proclivities.

Cheers!

Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, good bands. Saxon is fantastic. Throw in a bit of Stratovarius and Apocalyptica. Rammstein has it's place in my heart, too (albeit a rather small place). I have a neo-classical and symphonic metal fettish, too. That derived itself from my love of classical and hard rock. Give me anything with a good drum beat, an electric guitar, and a violin(or cello or other string instrument normally found in a symphony or orchestra [*field not required]), and I'll probably like it.
