I'm not a big fan of metal, but I can understand why people love the genre.
A bunch of yelling mixed in with drum smashing? No thanks.
Yeah, it's probably the most redundant music genre in my eyes. All the songs sound the same >_< .

You mean, ears.
 
Over Justin Bieber already?

On-topic, i like a little bit of Demon Hunter and Metallica, but not really into heavy metal.

again, people getting confused with screamo.
 
Funny how most of the bands mentioned in here aren't even metal

I like thrash metal, like Slayer. SoaD is good too, but they're more Nu Metal than Heavy Metal
 
Wow, if all anti-Metal posts in this topic weren't from established members, I'd swear we were under attack by trolls. A bunch of ill-informed and/or lousy-at-what-they-do trolls.

Though I do understand general feeling, most metal DOES sound alike and by most metal I mean the garbage that plays over the air waves and on MTV/VH1 here in the states and elsewhere. Posers like Killswitch Engage and All That Remains are not true metal, just like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber aren't real people, but talentless sentient piles of garbage that emit strong pheromones that make people like them.

For real metal, you either have to look back in time;
Black Sabbath, Skid Row, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer ect

or in other countries;
Sonata Arctica, Gamma Ray, Helloween, Edguy, Avantasia, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, Northern Kings etc

It pains me to see so many people confusing Death and Black metal for the majority of the genre. Metal, especially Power, Melodic and Symphonic metal, is just ace. Wash that confusion away with the following songs.

Sonata Arctica's "The Days of Grays"

Helloween's "Rise and Fall"

Gamma Ray "Money"

Edguy "Superheroes"
http://www.youtube.com/v/ADzy88f9mwg

Avantasia "Runaway Train"
http://www.youtube.com/v/Y8Xrsw2yeq0

Guess I'll list my favorite bands now that that's out of the way.

-Sonata Arctica
-Gamma Ray
-Helloween
-Hammerfall
-Axel Rudi Pell
-Starbreaker
-Black Sabbath
-Dio
-Slayer
-Avantasia
-Edguy
-Megadeth
 
I guess I lied about not liking heavy metal...

Bullet For My Valentine is the only band I like that fits into this genre. o3o
