LightningJ: All My Best Friends Are Metalheads

dr2den 07.26.10	lol
BlueW 07.26.10	Forget 1 and 3 Experiment with 2 and 5 Cherish 4
SpottedTrout 07.26.10	1 and 3 would waste your time 2 and 4 are decent i really enjoy 4 Try listening to Misery Signals - Controller Converge - Jane Doe or Dark Horse which is easier to get into Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect, Alaska The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis, Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine All Shall Perish - The Price of Existence But don't listen to me, just find music you enjoy even if it hated by this site.
JesusChris 07.26.10	listen to black metal. You'll instantly be cooler than your friends (although it seems you have already accomplished that grueling task)
Satellite 07.26.10	I caught the LBJ reference. And my friends are mostly the same way. I like some mehtulz though. I'd suggest listening to BTBAM's Colors and ABR's Constellations. Both decently accessible. You'd probably hate Jane Doe, at least at first.
Emim 07.26.10	2 and 3; forget the rest.
Ire 07.26.10	for every time i die get their new album
acADHDemy 07.26.10	DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS STRENGTH AND CONVICTION??? ?
snerefedsav 07.26.10	oh jeez, pretty soon some asshole's gonna go off about how none of those bands are metal. based on your taste, you might like adtr. they're a mix of (whiny) pop punk and pit hardcore basically. i find them enjoyable from time to time but they get a lot of shit here. all that remains has some good songs but their new album is terrible. dwp is another mediocre but occasionally enjoyable band. i really like august burns red and i like parkway drive too but most of their shit sounds the same. but anyway, i second all of spottedtrout's suggestions and also thirtysixchambers'. it seems more like you're thinking "metalcore" so i would also suggest: the eyes of a traitor - a clear perception glass casket - both albums ion dissonance - breathing is irrelevant and cursed (the new one) johnny truant - in the library of horrific events poison the well - the opposite of december protest the hero - kezia, fortress (if you like high-pitched singing) the red chord - fused together in revolving doors, fed through the teeth machine stray from the path - make your own history underoath - define the great line, lost in the sound of separation (if you're going to listen to "christcore," take this over dwp)
acADHDemy 07.26.10	OR HOW SHE PUTS ALL HER FAITH IN RELIGION??? ?
acADHDemy 07.26.10	DID YOU TAKE THE TIME TO RLY DISCOVER HOW LITTLE WE NO ABT EACH OTHER?????????
Masochist 07.26.10	"...And this is a fair request, that I will not judge any person only as a teenager, if you will constantly remind yourself that some of MY generation judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue-sniffers...." Ahh, summer :-). Also, in the way of metal, you need to ease yourself into it. If you're not a fan of metal, don't start out with 'Jane Doe', you'll never make it. Usual "segue" bands include: Slipknot Linkin Park Demon Hunter Disturbed Mudvayne Killswitch Engage Underoath ...stuff like that. No, it's not the "best," but it eases you into listening to heavier stuff, which then allows you to listen to things like August Burns Red and Converge (if you want). My advice, anyways. KEEP US FROM SAYING ANYTHING CAN'T SEPARATE FROM EVERYTHING AND ALL THIS REALLY MEANS IS WE'RE ONE IN THE CROWD AND WE'RE PARANOID AT EVERY SOUND
acADHDemy 07.26.10	goddam i was waiting for masochist to show up
Masochist 07.26.10	Sorry I'm late, I just got caught up with some poo-nan-nay!
acADHDemy 07.26.10	chea cheaaaaaaa, boiiiiii
ipunchscenekids 07.26.10	I guess I'll be that asshole. 1 is not metal, they are hardcore-influenced pop punk with 2 songs that are kind of metal. 2, 3, 4 are metalCORE, which is kind of a crossover genre and kind of a subgenre. 2 is pretty good, 3 sucks and 4 is eh. 5 is also metalcore but much more metal that the other three. Your friends are not metalheads. Don't listen to the millions of people who will tell you to get Converge's Jane Doe, it takes a while to get into and is not accessible at all. Check out Dream Theater and Opeth, most deff.
GenNarain 07.26.10	lol those are some pretty lame metalhead friends you got there
ShadowRemains 07.26.10	lmao
porkchop182 07.26.10	5 is great and 1 is fun (more pop-punk).
Motiv3 07.26.10	listen to constellations by August Burns Red. The rest don't even bother with.
LaCosaNostra13 07.26.10	Avoid all but 4. BASS!!! How low can you go?
witchxrapist 07.26.10	Well there's the issue, the only good band you mentioned is August Burns Red, and they're not even that good haha. You should try out good metalcore stuffs like: Undying - The Whispered Lies Of Angels Prayer For Cleansing - Rain In Endless Fall Through The Eyes Of The Dead - The Scars Of Ages Between The Buried And Me - The Silent Circus
Apollo 07.26.10	I love the serious responses to an obvious joke list lol
crowing51 07.26.10	2,4 and 5 are good BTBAM - Colors,Alaska,The Silent Circus Every Time I Die - Hot Damn, New Junk Aesthetic Mastodon - Leviathan Lamb Of God - As The Palaces Burn, Ashes of The Wake The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine Protest The Hero - Fortress just a few,
couldwinarabbit 07.26.10	or listen to Captain Beefheart and be cooler.
Hawks 07.26.10	Listen to Opeth and if you don't like them, then give up.
SoapySoap 07.26.10	I see your friends like breakdowns a lot.
AngelofDeath 07.26.10	All my friends are brown and red.
Apollo 07.26.10	All my friends Alone on a hill They're just looking down With violent minds out on loan They're just not equipped Insistence We hope for the best Were not making sense in silence Wait for the day when you're better than... In this silence, I'm not buying You're not faking, you're not... I guess we better hold on Again this time We won't understand again I'm not waiting for some sense This time, we won't understand again I'm not waiting for Still they sit Alone on a hill Their mechanical thoughts have left The out on their own They're not buying this In this silence, I'm not buying You're not faking, you're not... I guess we better hold on Again this time We won't understand again I'm not waiting for some sense This time, we won't understand again I'm not waiting for
Sowing 07.26.10	all your best friends are fucking retarded jk, but 2 and 4 are the only ones that i find tolerable
76TVs 07.26.10	Less Than Jake
jingledeath 07.26.10	your friends listen to shit metal
FruityCatOfDoom 07.26.10	its okay stick to what you like. im listen to like everything. and my best friend only listens to rap. BUT GET CONVERGE
DeafMetal 07.27.10	None of those bands are good. Listen to grindcore, old school death metal, black metal, etc. Grind: Discordance Axis Pig Destroyer OSDM: Demilich Slugathor Black: Vordr Weakling
eternium 07.27.10	Your friends are gay and need to listen to GOOD metal.
skippingboy123 07.27.10	dont get sucked in, listen to upbeat/mellow music like me, it can be slow and sad too!
skippingboy123 07.27.10	that's the kinda stuff my brother likes (plus the Dillinger Escape Plan and crapp stuff like Attack Attack etc) but he also likes good stuff like alternative and classic rock, ya gotta respect a guy who like Jimi Hendrix! :D
DeafMetal 07.27.10	Who cares about your brother.
LightningJ 07.27.10	Yeah, I knew ADTR wasn't a metal band, but that didn't stop my friends from obsessing over them for a while. I listened to a little bit of BTBAM and DEP once. Couldn't really get into it at the time, but I could tell I was listening to some good shit. Guess I'll give 'em another try. And I wish I'd known to avoid TDWP, gave them a listen today, and it was the most uninteresting hour of music I've ever spent lol.
