For dragging up a stupid topic like this? Yes.

I can't see this one lasting very long at all.

Not a bit spot on, actually...
Goth music is considerably different from Metal altogether, and seeing that it came from the whole 80's Post-Punk scene, with key bands like Bauhaus, Siousxie And The Banshees, Joy Division, Fields Of The Nephilim and as such has exactly nothing to do with the bands the original poster professed to enjoy.

And the thread was locked after massive amounts of muppetry... And I don't see this getting much better either.

I've only heard slayer out of all that lot. I only like some of their stuff. Is this not all just "thrash" metal as I would call it?

i personaly regret me starting the first thread but as i did i reply that whiule slipknot would be considered a mini band i dont think they are bad, that said it was mainly through hearing mick thompson play on a total guitar cd about 2 years ago and then i wouldnt listen to knot till volume3 came out and i heard the blister exists. at metalica they were fantastic though i think they would be more suited to playing indoor.

Hi,
this thread is stupid, there are too many styles of music out there to put anyone into certain groups or categories. If you have a closed mind then it's your own fault, no-one else's.

Guide to opening your mind with regards to music:

Don't judge anything until you have heard it not once, but twice. This applies to any genre and "sub" genre's.

Listen to other people, but don't take their opinions for granted, they can be wrong. Great minds think alike, musical minds often don't.

Karl-Hungus: Lock the thread, it's null and void :mad:

What can we call them then?

You listen to Slipknot voluntarily so you must be missing brain cells OK

I wouldn't say that I've listened to a Slipknot album as "been involuntarily subjected to a Slipknot album". They are dire, I'd rather listen to Beyonce TBH...

yup
I have
and I still think they're crap
saw them at the Metallica gig, thought they were crap then too

nesthead

nahh slipknot aint that bad (they redeem themselves with thier live show) however Chaimara suck.

Slayer, yer on the right track thier

COF, not my favs... but have some great tracks, check out some Dimmu Borgir, i way prefer em.

Dathai

Yes you are a mini metaller,

COF sold out far too much and they try to hard with pathetic titles for their songs.Mayhem, Darkthrone, Darkfuneral and so many others pwn COF and its funny that those bands are so much better and kids rather listen to crap like COF just because they have some outrageous song titles and a "scary" look.

Slipknot - Terrible, mainly just a fad.
Chiamiria - Haven't heard much but from what Ive heard I dislike.
Slayer - Very good band although their latest works have gone downhill a little.

Scroll through the What Rock/Metal/Punk song are you listening to thread and check out a few of the bands mentioned.

I recommend In Flames, Immortal, Opeth, Children Of Bodom, Meshuggah, Mayhem and Burzum to start off with.

Good stuff to get started out on! Try some Morbid Angel too.

LightofDarkness

This is what we call the "fag-core mallgoth." No offense, and the music is (bar Slayer) referred to as "mallcore" or "trendcore."

That aside, I would also recommend Soilwork, Testament and if you want something that's crazy I would recommend Misery Index. Death/Grindcore band. If you want amazing musicianship with originality, Spastic Ink is your friend. Ignore Opeth, they're crap. I would agree, Dimmu Borgir are at least 10X better than COF. Don't go along with the latest fads (CHimaira, Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, A7X, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Lamb of God) just because your pals say they're so hip and "in" and FUNderground. They are anything but. If you actually enjoy their music then fair enough. But try to listen to them without the hype that propels them.

Children of Bodom rule. First 2 In Flames albums are must haves. Last 3 Dimmu Borgir albums are actually good. Immortal would be a good stepping stone for "real" black metal. As for death metal, I would recommend firstly trying Death, Deicide, Necrophagist and Cryptopsy. 4 varying degrees of death metal. Soulseek is a great program to find out about bands and music you'd never have found out about otherwise.

nesthead

yeah, i listened to ****e before i started looking at this forum, and these guys pointed me in the right direction. check out all that stuff recommended and metal maturity will not be far off.

Originally posted by LightofDarkness Ignore Opeth, they're crap.

not many people around here would agree with you on that one.... and I would be one of them.

Fobia

Not one mention of Arcturus in all these recommendations? I am outraged.

As such, I recommend Arcturus, in terms of songs, Ad Astra and For yet to end again are my favourites to date (I don't have all albums so I can't judge fully).

If you actually care what everyone else will say, then yes. Yes you are.

While I'd agree with you that COF gone completely ****e, and I'd say they are basically the English version of Slipknot right now. But their earlier work really does stand out well over their current excretion, Vempire is still one of the best albums to have ever come out UK Extreme Metal scene back when you could actually call the band extreme with a straight face.

derrylahan

yeah i'll check out those bands,

btw slipknots live shows are second to none -
it was their live dvd which captured me -
the album version of songs are still not as good (imo) to the live versions

also thier cant be a fukin trend of metal bands (can their?)
afsik trends are in pop, hip-hop

Karl Hungus

Slipknot's live shows second to none!? You've obviously never seen Vader play, have you?

And yes, of course there can be trends in metal.

derrylahan

no i have never seen vader play wat are they like live?
but that cant still cant take away from slipknots performance

Fobia

There are trends in everything. If this thread was to be a discussion of how good slipknot are good then why didn't you call it "slipknot be good live ROCK ON" or something?

Close the thread, this has all been discussed before, and led to nothing, therefore the chances of it being intresting this time are....well.......none.

Tommy Vercetti

before it's closed I'd like to second the Arcturus recommendation!

derrylahan

all i want to make clear is that just because you dont like a band doesnt mean you should compare it to a technically better playing band and tell kids to listen to them instead

music is about the energy it gives out - not who is better at playing their instruments

btw slipknot arent metal, their hardcore/goregrind according to blackgoat.com
and i'd agree

Fobia

I don't know how good technically slipknot are.

Generally, being better at playing instruments and being creative means that you can make good music, this is why most bands who are good at playing their instruments (when I say instruments, I don't mean their cocks), result in being good bands.

You appear to have a closed mind with regards to music in general, not just the heavy scene.

Bands/artists I'd recommend you listen to now: Arcturus, Yes, Sigh (only heard of them last night, they be well good), Children of Bodom, Joe Satriani.

These bands/artists stretch over several different genre's, but it's all good music.


That is all,

que

Karl Hungus

LOLROFLLMFAO!

Slipknot are nothing close to goregrind!
Honestly, try listen to Pig Destroyer and tell me with a straight face that Slipknot are goregrind.

How about you actually try and listen to some of the bands suggested. God knows, you might actually enjoy it more than Slipknot?

derrylahan

well let me tell you jeoys a fantastic drummer
and for mick check out the line 6 website

derrylahan
