There is nothing Metal about Led Zep. In my book, they don't even qualify for the term Hard Rock

Maybe heavy blues, or classic rock

Zeppelin are hard rock, psychedelic rock, blues rock, white blues or classic rock. In their own day they were sometimes called 'heavy metal' as were The Who. This was because their music allegedly sounded like 'metal scraping against metal'. I hadn't noticed this myself, although I think that description fits Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love pretty well. But that was before all you had to do was turn up the distortion and scream a lot.

wow way to stereotype!

You can say that Zeppelin was a precurser to metal, but Sabbath was the first metal band.

Yeah, its called "The Book Of Absolute Truths"

[B]Food Metal[/B]

Though a small fairly unknown genre at the time, food metal still deserves recignition.

This style of metal focuses on, well FOOD! Band members wear food stained clothing, eat on stage and are normally overweight. Songs are on the topic of food or food preporation (system of a down- pizza pies would be a good example, though they are not a food metal band). Lyrics consist of descriptive eating (in the same way that death metal singers sing about blood and gore and killing and such) or describe recipes. Drummers often use, soup spoons, salad tongs or chopsticks which are taped or glued together for a heavier sounds.

I think it's same to say that in the next few years Food Metal will become the largest and best known form of metal.

[QUOTE=MetalFan]your book?[/QUOTE]

"In my book" is a common expression used in the English language, it does not necessarily mean that the person using the expression has written a book.

:amaze: whoah I guess he really doesnt know.

Zepplin an Hendrix may not be here to produce more records, but we have what they left. Rock will never die, because of people like us who still love and treasure all the genres and sub-genres between us.

Rock may not be the current popular thing like it was back in the '70s when rock was at it's height, now having been over-powered by this pop ***t. I reckon that if Led Zepplin had formed now, they would have gone unsigned as record companies aren't after the rock sound unless they can make it more palletable, and above all, profitable.

As for guitar solos, they're not dead. Sure they're not as common, or at least as impressive as those of times gone by, but they're there if you look hard enough (Machine Head for example, a particular favourite of mine)
The way I see it, nu-metal shouldn't be shrugged off by fans of heavy metal genres. As i read through these threads, i found a huge number of people saying "I used to listen to nu-metal, but now i think it's c**p". I'm not a fan of it myself, but it can help kids get on to heavier metal and away from pop. I myself started on Blink 182 and Linkin Park, and progressed on to Metallica and Machine Head from there.

None of you should be saying "rock is dead". I don't want to repeat what others have been saying, but it's not. Saying that it is certainly doesn't help. All of you who play instruments, get yourselves in to a band, get some songs down and fill the musical void missing from the world. You all know what you like, or at least what you don't like. Get some guitar solos in, write some melodic lyrics if you hate screechy/shouty singers, rather than saying how much you hate it. How about DOING something about it?

With work, perhaps rock can be restored to it's former glory, and we can leave this trashy pop sh*t to rot and die.

wrong thread?

I have heard about genres like:war,gore,grind,hydro,viking and folk metal...whats the deal with those?

i guess viking metal is related to finland ,norway or sweden metal(just a guess).folk metal is like Finntroll, finnish folklore (hummpa) and black metal, which makes a great mix.

I know finntroll have a song called "rivfader"...I guess you are a fan

right, can someone tell me what kind of metal do children of bodom play?cus i'm so confused with all the false info that every site gives.plz

death metal

CoB play power metal, just with harsh vocals.

the singing are awfull.......I dont get what that guy are singing about

[QUOTE=erling]the singing are awfull.......I dont get what that guy are singing about[/QUOTE]
It's ALL about guitars.
(And the guitars have nothing to do with death metal.)

There's abominations such as mallcore and Gothenburg on the list but not traditional power and speed metal?

It wasn't meant to be a definitive list, just a guideline for the most asked about genres. In the 900 posts since then, power and speed metal have been covered.
