This is my first thread and was inspired by another thread that was basically asking the opposite. So yeah just list bands you disliked but now like. Some of mine are Slayer, Metallica, Lamb of god, Kataklysm (more of a dislike at first not a hate), Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton (if youd believe it i disliked everything except layla really) and yeah theres more but im tired.

Any form of music with screaming or growling.

That only grew on me in the last year or so.

Now I love screaming, and tolerate growling.

Most death metal bands. For a long while thrash metal was the only "extreme" kind of music I'd listen to .

Flynn

01-27-2006, 10:03 PM

This is a tough one. I'm going to go with Acid Bath. When I first heard them I didn't like them at all, in fact, at that time I would never think about buying either one of their albums. I have both albums now and listen to them frequently.

Led Zeppelin. When I was 10ish I could not stand them, now I don't love them, but I'll listen to it.

Metallica. and Slayer.

Metallica, Tool, ACDC, and Slipknot.

I dont think I'll ever love bands with screaming vocals though.

Yeah most of death metal.

I n the last few years, all the bands, except the beatles, are bands that I used to hate, but now love.

Magero

01-28-2006, 02:00 AM

Slipknot, Slayer, and pretty much most death/power/thrash metal. Our drummer got me into thrash, and our singer got me into Slipknot.

Nightwish.

I used to hate them with a passion.

Now I'd die without listening to their music and watching the two dvds.

Meshuggah.

I used to hate em, but I like em alot now.

01-28-2006, 04:15 AM

Korn & Pantera.

I got into Korn's older stuff, and decided I liked them

I hated Pantera until Dimebag died, and everyone started raving about how good he was. Then I began to agree with them, and love Pantera

That´s a tough question but for what I remember, Circle Takes The Square (Now I´m getting obsessed with them), Epheles, Burzum....Hmmm those are the only ones I can think at the moment.

Kessler

01-28-2006, 08:16 AM

Metallica, Tool, ACDC, and Slipknot.

Slipknot doesn't scream?

For me it would have to be Cradle of Filth.

Same.

Korn, Disturbed, Pantera(somewhat), Rammstein, and Rage against the Machine

Napalm Death.

For me I used to be disgusted by their music, but then it grew into a curiosity, which morphed into amusement, but now I love 'em.

Pink floyd, buddy miles.

Styx.

I hated them for about a week for no good reason.

Tyr

01-28-2006, 08:54 AM

That would be Pantera. My brother was always going on and on about how good they were, but I just couldn't stand them. Now I listen to them at least on a weekly basis.

01-28-2006, 09:53 AM

I agree with the man that said Acid Bath.

Also,my friend several years ago tried me to get me to like Opeth and I just thought they were boring. Then I started playing music myself and played with a full time band and realized just how incredible they really are. Easily in my top 5 now.

NeverOpethDeth

01-28-2006, 02:17 PM

I never hated opeth but i didnt think it was anything special for quite a while until i listened to the songs through and it was like...wooow thats amazing

Yea at first I had a hard time with Opeth and Lamb of God. But now I love them

Lamb of God... I used to hate them so badly, for no reason whatsoever, just because... I guess kids who I dislike love them, but after giving them a chance.. . wow, they pwn.

Same with Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, and Korn (though I only really hated Korn in like 4th grade).

Jude

01-28-2006, 03:51 PM

Opeth. I didnt hate them but now i like them.
Me too, I couldn't stand the growlin and the metal parts didn't appeal to me. I didn't hate them but I couldn't get into them. Now I love them too.

Mikael's clean singing is probably my favourite in metal too alongside warrell dane

Pretty much all extreme metal, classical, jazz, and classic rock.

Arsis.

They didn't seem that great to me at first, but after listening to their album through a few times, they really grew on me.

Arsis is now one of my favorite melo-death bands.

Same hear but I like growling a little more than tolerating it. Every time I heard a song with screaming, I'd be like "That's totally gay."

When I was in the 7th grade, I listened to Pink Floyd for the first time, and I thought they sucked pretty much because I wasn't into the psychedelic stuff at the time. But then about 7-8 months ago I gave them another listen and now they are my favorite band.

Overdrive666

01-30-2006, 02:25 PM

all hard rock!!!for the first 6 years i only liked alternative, but now i think its gay.mostly i like 70's to 90's bands, with great emphasis on the eighties. or, they had a great emphasis on me? it goes both ways.my favorite...Gn'R

Stoo

01-30-2006, 03:14 PM

I never hated any bands. I either listened to them and liked them or didn't listen to them. but I could say Opeth...at first I hated the growling, I thought it was unlistenable, but now I fcking love them. Btw, the 1st Opeth song I heard was Black Rose Immortal and I really thought...No. Now that was stupid.

Growling > Trivium-like-Screaming. God it annoys the hell out of me.

When growling/screaming... you have to come up with a good way of doing it. You can't just scream as loudly as you can into a mic, need some technique, thats what puts me off ALOT of metal bands.

Yeah few vocalists scream well anymore i cant tell teh different between most of those metalcore bands it all sounds the same to me kind of sad cuz a band like trivium otherwise has potential

They really do too. If they had someone other then Matt sing.

Went a little less generic on some riffs...

They'd be reallly great.

You can hear what they can do, in alot of parts.

Potential is the key word.

i cant even handle any screaming. i recognize its a talent and its hard, but i just dont like it. i guess the only band i like that comes close to 'screaming' would be pantera (phil anselmo).
i would like bodom if not for the screaming but i can only listen to them for so long b4 i have to turn it off.

bands i like that i used to not like (mostly when i was first gettin into metal)- metallica, rolling stones, zep -all embarassing, yea, i love them now

Children Of Bodom, Incubus, Deep Purple, Enya, Frank Zappa, Porcupine Tree, Carcass.

Pantera, but that was mostly only cause I'd only really heard lots of Damage Plan songs and hated them and I assumed that Pantera and Damage Plan were basically exactly the same.

Converge

01-30-2006, 11:07 PM

Most of the metalcore/grindcore I listen to I didn't like took awhile for my tastes to harden. Incubus, RHCP, Tool, The Doors, and RHCP.

It pains me to say it but I used to not like Pink Floyd, but it was mostly because I had only heard, like, 2 songs, and I was a chubby, punk pop loving sixth grader. Now they've been my favorite band for five years and counting:thumb: .

01-31-2006, 10:30 PM

Oddly enough I used to dislike Radiohead alot. It was back when I was listening to bands that I know can't stand at all(Metallica,Disturbed,Slayer, etc), I really didn't like them at all. Now they are pretty much my favorite band.

They aren't black metal. They aren't even melodic death metal. They're power metal, with screachy, scratchy, harsh vocals.

But as my tastes in music was more focused on complex music, i started to love opeth

=-fukifiknow-=

02-03-2006, 12:51 AM

i honestly loved opeth at first but i whore them out like no other.. most people just say "no" after one listen but it is absolutly true that you have to notice the transitive points in thier songs in order to truely appreciate it... what would you say are some good songs to get people started on opeth with?
i'd say as for hard songs.... "the drapery falls" thats a pretty beginner opeth song...
as for listening to black rose immortal first, i cant immagine they'd be broken in enough

zabbit82

02-04-2006, 08:19 PM

It's when a thread has been idle for sometime and someone puts *bump*, trying to revive the convo. Thats my take on it at least...

I used to hate just about all punk music (I know I know, wrong forum.) But I've been diggin some NOFX and Social Distortion. I've listened to SD's "Sex, Love, and Rock and Roll" alot. I like it.
