just ignore him, he is going around making idiotic posts on purpose

I suspected so, I'm just very willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, often when they don't deserve it. My bad.

: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.

the guitar playing the beginning of"downfall " is cool

- In the future, don't waste my time and yours by replying to one of my posts - your limited cognitive abilities suit you (and many of your "friends" here) for 3rd shift at the local Deny's. Good luck with that.[/QUOTE]


Spelled Denny's wrong anus lover muwahahahaha.....just messin with ya
Great job Legion, btw

Skyclad are pretty much the definition of folk metal.The term is to be taken literally,no matter what kind of metal is providing the metal part,be it thrash,black or power.

yeah i didn't mean to specify which kind of metal can be used for folk metal.just thought Finntroll is one of the best examples of Folk metal

so CoB is speed/power metal?

Yes.

[QUOTE=epifreak2002]^You just described punk.[/QUOTE]
YEah,but punk blows and hardcore kicks ***.but none the less... :lol:

COB have as much thrash influences as they have speed influences, but the output is power metal.

.
 

Excellent!

prog metal is kinda wrong, because you are describing bands like cryptopsy. instrumental skill and time changes =/= prog metal.
