Do you listen to metal?

[Chocofruit]

Just two simple questions, Do you listen to metal and What's your opinion on metal? Regarding the first question, I'm expecting most answers to be "No." since I see alot of those asian pop guys and girls around. But if you listen to metal, link a song or three! And if you don't listen to metal, give one a try and see how you like it or dislike it.

The first song I'm linking is from a death metal band, it's called Cannibal Corpse. Alot of people critisize this song on its vocals. But I like them. The vocals are deep growls.

Spoiler: Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face

The second song I'm linking is more of a slow and heavy metal song, it's called Don't Tread on Me, and it's written and performed by Metallica. That might be a bit more popular of a name than Cannibal Corpse.

Spoiler: Metallica - Don't Tread on Me

The third song I'm linking is a fast and heavy song by SLAYER, its name is Postmortem. This is my favourite out of these songs.

Spoiler: Slayer - Postmortem

You know it's possible to like both metal and kpop lol.

I listen to it more than any other genre but I don't really talk about it because metalheads are generally annoying.

"Do you listen to metal"

"What's your opinion on metal"

True, alot metal heads have a stick up their butt, and get mad whenever somone just LISTENS to different kinds of metal.

 

[Alienfish]

Exactly. Like I'll be honest the only band out of the big 4 I still like (as in still enjoy the newer stuff they put out) is Anthrax and omg the responses I get when I say that.

Plus a lot of them are really bigoted and sexist without even knowing it, the amount of them I've run into who whine about not having a girlfriend, but then turning around to say something dumb like "Girls who wear makeup aren't real metalheads!" is ridiculous.

Back on topic though I mainly listen to black, power, thrash, folk, and doom.

Nice, I never really listened to Anthrax thoroughly, so I don't have an opinion on them yet. But the one song I have heard is pretty good.

And yeah, about metalheads being bigoted, not many people here will get this, but I'll write it anyway... "White wine"

I mostly listen to Thrash-, Groove-, Death- & Black Metal. I was at an underground concert just yesterday actually, and I found out I kind of like the Core genres of metal. I've never listened to them, but the guys who were playing were pretty darn good.

 

[nintendofan85]

I don't really listen to it but I honestly like it sometimes.
I just prefer rock, mainly alternative.

If you wanna get into Anthrax most people will probably recommend their Among The Living album, it's really good.

That Phil Anselmo drama tho

Most of my friends are into death and while I don't mind it I'm very picky with it, a lot of dm bands have drums that give me a headache within 20 seconds so I can't even listen if I wanted to lol. Also a lot of the vocals sound the same to me, so most of the death metal I listen to is a combination of death + something else, usually blackened death like Behemoth.

 

[Bowie]

It's not my favourite genre, but yes.

 

[jiny]

No I don't

 

[DJStarstryker]

I pretty much listen to every sub-genre of rock, so yes. I just don't like screamo metal. I like to hear singers sing, not growl.

Iron Maiden is probably my favorite metal band.

 

[Envy]

I do not. Generally I do not like my music too heavy. Once you add in the screaming vocals it is plain unlistenable to me.

 

[Mariah]

I used to listen to thrash but that was years ago.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I used to, I can't remember the bands name but they did a song called nymphetamine I think it was. Think that's how it's spelt at least. I have a very diverse taste in music, I only had a problem with the 'you can't like other songs and like metal/rock' when u was at school.
People in general don't tend to bother. You like what you like after all

Cradle of Filth?

[visibleghost]

I'll try listening to the album sometime.

I'm the only one out of my friends into black metal, and only one of them expect me is into death metal, but I don't mind it at all. And I totally get the thing with the drums not because I don't like the drums, but because I'm a drummer, and Death metal drums are, fast, and very hard to play.

Also have you ever been to any metal concert? The only BIG metal concert I've been to was a concert with T?r, but they play here all the time, I live in the Faroe Islands. But as I said, I was in a underground metal concert yesterday, and there was a moshpit, and it was awesome!

I've been to a lot of concerts. I used to go all the time but I don't go as much anymore, partially because not many bands I really like are coming around but mostly because like I said, metalheads are exhausting to be around for me. I've seen Tyr 3 times now though. The biggest concert I went to was a two-day festival years ago that had the entire big 4 with the exception of Metallica along with a bunch of other bands.
The next ones I may or may not go to are a Ne Obliviscaris one in March and a Behemoth one in April. I wouldn't mind seeing Taake this month but I'd rather not be without my friend at black metal concerts.
My friend wants me to go with him to Amon Amarth in April but I don't really care for them at all oops
