Off topic :kissit:

 

[Fenderon]

[Archeon]

Might be easier to ask "What kind of metal can you listen to without shattering every glass object within a 50 mile radius"

 

[Phule_Gubben]

how many "types" of metal is there anyway? like .. 50+?

lets see...

Heavy metal, Speed metal, Death metal, Black metal, Doom metal, Thrash metal, NWOBHM, Nu metal, Power metal + all the different sub genre in em so pretty many of em anyway.

PS might have missed some of the MAIN genres too

 

[Fenderon]

and you can tell the difference between (did I spell that correct?) every single one of them?

 

[Asty]

NWOBHM

Whats that?

 

[Nott]

Iron Maiden !!

I like some heavy stuff like Machine Head and Slayer, but death metal I can't stand. Guess I'm old school *shrug*

[Danord_durin]

Old school 2

I still think the first 4 metallica albums made where 4 of the best ever made, even tho they arent the best musicians. Also slayer + iron maiden is fotm And i must agree with nott death metal kinda sucks.

and you can tell the difference between (did I spell that correct?) every single one of them?

Heavy metal are bands such as metallica and iron maiden which are metal based on more of a melody then the rest. Long hair, solos a plenty kinda bands Riffs are concentrated as being more about the 'chugg' instead of speed in general.

Speed metal is how many beats a second you can clock up on the metronome before it breaks

Death metals prime example would be slayer. Very fast, ridiculous vocals and even more ridiculous topics always related to death.

Black Metal are shite bands like cradle of filth who I find very bland, always on about death also but the difference being is they try to make it more like a stage show and giving off the depressant persona instead of death metal which is more about the music.

Doom metal is just very drab 'I want to die' music which is probably the most boring, somber music you could ever listen to. A prime example would be 'my dying bride' of which the name kinda speaks for itself.

Thrash metal is a kind of 80's genre forgotten in the 90s and 00's unfortunately which is just about getting pissed and having a laugh. An example would be old metallica stuff like from the 'kill em all' album. Again fast but not serious at all...fuck the society kinda thing.

NWOBHM.....wtf?

Nu Metal is my pet peeve. It's the WORST type of music in the world bar none... Its basically teeny bopper music with distortion. Add a few swear words and call yourselves a metaller. It gives all metallers a bad name. Prime examples = limp bizkit, linkin park and papa roach. None of those bands will last the test of time, they're just like all the other 'billy pipers' of the world.

Power metal I'd say is pretty much the same as thrash tbh but thats just my opinion

Industrial metal would be a band like 'static-x' with quite suprisingly industrial sounds in there, very often with their recordings being very mixed and sounds added in which weren't recorded by the band.

If you think all metal sounds the same, download the following songs and I'm sure even a brittney spears fan could tell the obvious difference. Will pick obvious songs not the not so well known ones so you mighht recognise some.


Metallica - One or Master of puppets (heavy metal)
Impellitteri - Glory(speed metal)
Slayer - Angel Of Death (death metal)
Cradle of Filth - Ghost in the fog (absolute shite but a black metal example)
My Dying Bride - The cry of mankind (very boring doom metal band)
Metallica - Hit the Lights (Thrash metal)
Limp bizkit - mission impossible theme tune (nu metal)
Static-X - Black or white (industrial metal)


Don't blame me for what you like or dislike from the list, i only like part of it myself, just thought i'd give you the taste.


edit:nerf only being allowed one quote in a reply for some reason

Tbh:
- Cradle of Filth is a very bad example of black metal, gorgoroth/satyricon are quite typical black metal.
- Slayer is trash metal not death metal, try cannibal corpse/six feet under for death metal

 

[harebear]

try chimaira for death metal, and ye i think slayer are more speed/thrash

 

[judas]

At The Gates - Slaughter of The Soul > all

As I said bud, was just listing bands people might have heard of so they dont have to download em all to get the general picture.

You forgot to add doubble bass drums ^^

 

[Covenant]

Whats that?

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal - generally used to refer to Maiden, Priest, etc.

 

[Nott]

Death created Death metal. Venom created Black metal. Correct me if I'm wrong cause I don't like either.

Slayer is not death metal. A good sign its not is that you can actually here what words come out of his mouth without studying the lyricsheet. hehe Slayer is thrash imo. Godfathers of thrash

My guess was that NWOBHM is new wave of british heavy metal i.e Maiden,Priest,Saxon etc. maybe?

All these labels are really crap anyway. I do like this instead
Its either Good Shit or Bad Shit.

 

[bult]

Yeah At the gates and The Haunted is the best 2 metal bands ever imo.

 

[Triton]

In Flames
