Traditional heavy metal, thrash metal, doom metal, death metal, melodic death metal, and black metal are all different types of metal. Stop being retarded and go away.

[QUOTE=DrumedOut] Old metal has solo's and new has all crazy stuff.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that was a small shedload of stupid, but thanks for the laugh that this^ gave me.

Please give us a detailed explanation of what you call "crazy stuff".
He was classifying METAL. I know that might sound crazy to you...

[QUOTE=DrumedOut]Im sorry but i do not like it. You have posted about all different kinds of rock, not metal. This is my belife only, im sure there is many that will disagree with me. It is also hard to classify metal. I like how you put info but different kinds of metal but i dont like how you put the bands in. I belive there is two kindsa of metal, old and new, Old metal has solo's and new has all crazy stuff. I like both because i listen to new when im upsett and old to just listen. Opeth, metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden are all old rock and korn, slipknot, system of a down, and such is new rock, i feel new rock is more ez to play becuase it does not use many toms and does not have solo's. I dont know what to classify godsmack as because is has solo's and an exsessive ammount of toms. I perosnally like godsmack and metallica the best.[/QUOTE]How did you even come up with that

The one thing i've noticed. Is that some of the newer death metal bands coming out now like Sikfuk, Verilence and Cephalic Carnage. Are replaceing solos With Weird off the wall changes. If thats the crazy stuff he's talking about. But to me there is nothing crazy about korn or system of a down. except that people listen to it.

pasuzu knows what im talking about, new metal uses alot of sound effects, makes the song sound great but it takes less talent from the artist ti make the song, bands like slipknot, system of a down, and static-x all use sounds effects but i still love all kinds of metal

Danzig?
King diamond?
Rammstein?(i could probably tell you if i knew that they were saying.)
immortal souls?

what about techno-metal(not industrial)
-cruxshadows
-bella morte(to a lesser extent)

otherwise an exclent list.

Great list, however, you forgot to mention catamenia in your black metal section!! The outrage!! lol, what about satanic metal, does that fit in with the likes of black and death? cause ive got an ablum by a band called Demonic (who nobody has heard of, apparently..no great loss really), which is very satanic, and I wouldnt call them black, and maybe only just death. Besides the lack of Catamenia (who are by far the best melodic black band), a really good list. Oh, yeah and what about new metallica (load-onwards), where would that fit in?

Crap

"NOTE: This is a very general guideline and not a definitive carved in stone definition. While I may put a band in with one genre, that doesn't mean that they might not fit into more than one sub-genre. I think most people here know my main area of interest is death and black metal so if you disagree with some of my opinions or band lists...fine."

Its not a definitive list, so not all bands are gonna be on the list.

Metallica from load on could be considered regular metal/hard rock.

Jesterx. I'd hardly say new metallica was crap. In fact, i prefer it to their older stuff. In my opinion, when metallica and megadeth were both still doing thrash, megadeth were a lot better. And as for kirk hammet constantly being voted a better guitarist than dave mustaine????

Mustaine plays rhythm, Kirk plays lead, you cant really compare them. Dont start a flame fest in this thread.

i was just voicing my opinion, i prefer old metallica, you like new metallica, to each his own. :chug:

When you say satanic metal, I think that's more of a lyrical subject matter. You really can't make that a genre of its own.

Gore speed death doom blood drug metal

thats the best stuff

i still wana know what genre you put king diamond (post mecyful fate).

fast metal, slow metal, shining metal, hard to break metal

theres plenty types of metals out there :thumb:

[QUOTE=jesterx]i still wana know what genre you put king diamond (post mecyful fate).[/QUOTE]

Maybe Black Metal, but dont quote me on this since I am no expert on Black Metal.

/\/\/\/\yhea, diamonds a confusing one

I would have to say black metal

when i think about it, he can be doom at times.

[QUOTE=jesterx]when i think about it, he can be doom at times.[/QUOTE]Yeah I can see that. Thats why I have a problem classifying bands anyway. Because they dont always meet the same discription. Alot of theme are a bunch of genres and sub genres combind together. Trying to creaate their own

[QUOTE=jesterx]when i think about it, he can be doom at times.[/QUOTE]

Thou Art Lord have a couple of songs that sound almost like nu-metal, but that doesn't make them a nu-metal band. I'd go with black metal for King Diamond.

i think he forgot hair metal- you gotta give props to cinderalla and stryper and skid row... well myabe not

you got to have a sub-genre for GWAR and green jelly and SOD and the like but they are definetly metal

[QUOTE=XGwar_RulesX]you got to have a sub-genre for GWAR and green jelly and SOD and the like but they are definetly metal[/QUOTE]

"Again...this is NOT a definitive list. It not by any stretch of the imagination complete. I'm sure if we really wanted to we could come up with a good 20 or so more sub-genres."

im down with the megadeth bein a better thrash band but, and im not sure why im thinkin this, are you comparing old megadeth to new metallica?

metallica is one of my favorite bands.. but they did change their music,in interview they said they didnt. from Load on, its become slow sorta country sounding, except st.anger, which just has no genre at all. (i cant stand the drums)

as to megadeth, metallica is better and hammet is better than mustaine.(opinion)

Hammett plays lead guitar and doesnt sing
Mustaine plays Rhythm and sings

They have different roles in their bands, you really cant say one is better than the other.

This also isnt the place to debate this.
