[QUOTE=schweinhunt]Judging from this forum, there is a growing trend of the 'prog intelligensia' (sarcasm); Anything with lots of incoherent wankery and songs which are long for the sake of being long has suddenly become a good thing, nevermind how little content there is in the music.[/QUOTE]


Little content, where did you get your degree?

I don't even listen to it as much as others, but I don't need to be a scientist to realize how killer some of this **** is. Show respect to developed music you can't keep up with, sorry it's too challenging at times. ;)

My Band
 

good explaining the diffrent genres my band plays black metal out site is [url]www.frailconformity.tk[/url]
and u can hear my old band at [url]www.purevolume.com/withouteyes[/url] :cool:

I don't think this is the right thread to post about your band dude, this is only about metalgenres. And I haven't found any info about genres on your site.

[QUOTE=mordredozzy124]I do not think evenescence is gothic rock at all[/QUOTE]
Good to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks this way...

Dude, do not plug your band in this thread. Read the rules.

Do you think it would be overkill to define Darkwave and Coldwave? I'm not sure wether that goes in R&M or Other Music.

Crossbreed - Industrial
Susperia - transgresive metal
Cradle of Filth - melodic metal
King Diamond - Black Metal
Avenged Sevenfold - Post Hardcore
Dope - Gunk
Godhead - Industial metal
Drowning Pool - (old)strait up meatl
White Zombie - industrial speed metal
Lifeliss - were Metal

What about Alternative Metal, like Adema, Korn, Taproot or Linkin Park (They've been listed as nu-Metal, but they don't have the same sound)

Korn started Numetal, all of those bands fall under it.

"Alternative Metal" = numetal

korn didn't start nu-metal, they continued alt-metal, listen to nu-metal bands and then korn. Korn has a very different sound from the rest of the "nu-metal catigory, i say they're alt cause they combine so much music types, they put funk, grunge, emo, and metal all together, so it wouldn't really be nu-metal, especially since they have no dj

When people think numetal, 80% of the time they think Korn. Korn pretty much started the wave of numetal.

They got the downtuned guitar, the angst lyrics, the low level of musicianship, etc.

I fon't agree, but whatever, nu-metal has 0 funk basslines, korn has 70% funk basslines, and if u say they have low-level musicianship i agre for the guitar, but the bagpipes, drums and bass aren't, and the guitar in their old stuff was really good, download the song James Brown by LAPD(korn from 88-92). maybe it's just me, but when I think nu-metal I think disturbed, and limp bizkit, but Adema def isn't nu-metal, cause half their music is soft, and they have really good guitar solos.

funk basslines? Its the sound of his strings scratching the fretboard. Wow if that is funk, someone call Les Claypool.

When most people think nu-metal, they think korn, limp bizket, SOAD, linkin park, etc.

listen to the songs pretty, hey daddy, good god, somebody someone, no way, trash, for you, right now, here it comes again, everything ive known, lets get this party started, im done, jesus, sean olson, got the life, freak on a leash, its on!, dead bodies everywhere(has the rattling that fieldies known for, but if u tune it normal it's funk, I haven't tried for any of the other songs yet), and beg for me

Funk STILL has plenty of solos.

[QUOTE=schweinhunt]Funk STILL has plenty of solos.[/QUOTE]

i agree, korn need mor solos like the old days when they were LAPD

i think they have what 3 guitar solos and 1 bagpipe solo

alternative metal != nu metal

And I don't think it's a good idea to make a f*cking genre for every single band, that's just lame.

bah.....I really don't like to classify metal very much at all. Considering I like all of the sub-genres listed, I simply call it all 'metal' and leave it at that. From my experiences, sub-genres tend to just get in the way and complicate things. Although, I'll use them once in a while to describe metal, but I never classify a certain band as a certain type of metal.

Yeah sub-genres sure get in the way.... :rolleyes:

Listen, pal, if you cant accept the fact that Korn is nu-metal (and crappy, at that), then you should stop writing on this forum. Everyone else who reads this forum has heard of bands like Therion and Opeth. I doubt you have, you 92.3 loving panzy. Go listen to your Korn and your Eminem and go bother people who care.

I have no love for Korn either, but that kind of behavior will get you banned.
