1. (Metal) (3318↑, 493↓)
A type of music characterized by it's cacophonous wall of sound and accelerated tempo which is achieved through distorted electric guitars playing fast-paced riffs, with the driving drumbeat often utilizing hypersonic double bass rhythms and emphasizing the continuous pumping action, the bass guitar is often playing similar to the guitar, but more with the drums, so as to add to the overall heavyness and depth. It can manifest in many different forms and the spectrum of intensity is usually quite varied. From slow and heavy melodic grooves, to complex and precise blinding rhythms, odd time changes, and sheer brutality.. metal comes in many shapes and sizes. One common trait of metal is to have vocals dealing with dark subject matter, often sung with anger, aggression, and conviction in the form of screaming. Melodic smooth vocals are also accepted. Solos are an integral part of metal music, as the icing on the cake to complement the heavy intensity of the songs and add more depth and individuality. Real metal has a solo in every song, usually scales and arpeggios played with some changes often in 8th, 16th, or 32nd notes..if only a few quick licks. Metal is progressive and dynamic, and usually provokes feelings that are therapeutic to the listener. Metal is rock music that has evolved.

Opeth, Death, Slayer, Pantera, Iced Earth, In Flames, Testament

A misunderstood type of music that can not easily be appreciated if you haven't heard much of it. It may take a long time for you to warm up to it, but as soon as you do, there's no turning back. Contrary to belief, [metalhead]s are not stupid or angsty - that's just throwing around labels.

1. Metal music is judged too easily. 2. People's minds need to be more open.

a great type of music which has been ruined by too many sub-genres and too many stupid people bitching & moaning & making vacuous statements about what "is or isn't" real metal. They hang around message boards and give each other blowjobs & snowballs.

Movement of music that started essentially with the heavy rock movements of such bands as but not limited to: The Cream, The Spiders, Iron Butterfly, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zepplin, and Kiss. The sound took a larger heavier sound with bands like Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Pentagram, AC/DC and such bands. But Black Sabbath was the most respected and possibly the darkest of the lot. This is considered the Classical Metal era between the mid sixties to the late seventies. From there on out, when the eighties rolled around, Speed metal became popular with the NWOBHM movement, and thrash metal evolved with such bands as Metallica, Exodus, Primus, Trauma, Megadeth, Testament et cetera. During the 80s a more underground movement of slow metal began to evolve called Doom Metal by such bands as Candlemass, Pentagram and the like. Also in the mid 80s a new form of metal evolved from thrash called Death Metal, and used screams, and heavy notes, and shortly after a new style formed yet again from death metal called grind metal or grindcore. The 90's rolled around, and Groove Metal began evolving with such bands as Pantera, and even Ozzy with his new guitarist took upon himself a slower style more groove/doom based rather than thrash. Then around the late 90s the groove and doom metal scene flourished and produced such bands as crowbar, down, and black label society. Also around the 90s a new form of Metal formed, New Metal. It comprised of such bands as Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Manson, Sevendust, and Godsmack. This style focuses on dissonance for heaviness and loud vocals, probably inspired by the death/noisecore of the late 80's movement.

Fast, brutal, epic, catchy, full of power, skill,technical ability and full of diversity. Able to suit most musical needs for those seeking them. Those who have limited or no knowledge of metal music shouldnt judge it\! For those wanting to know, Metal music contains many sub-genres including Heavy, Death, Melodic Death, Black, Doom, Power, Thrash, Speed, Folk, Industrial, Progressive, Metalcore & Nu-Metal to name a few. Black Sabbath arguably invented Heavy + Doom Metal which was later characterised by bands like Iron Maiden.'Death' along with other bands like Celtic Frost started the Death Metal movement, Venom invented Black Metal + was later characterised by bands like Mayhem, Emperor & Burzum. Bands like Dark Tranquility and In Flames characterised Melodic death or gothenburg metal. Thrash metal was basically defined by Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Sodom & Sepultura. While the more recent and commercially successful genres include Nu-Metal popularised by bands like Korn, Mudvayne, Papa Roach & Slipknot. While Metalcore includes bands like Killswitch engage, Trivium, Caliban & Shadows fall. While progressive metal includes bands like Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation & Apocalyptica. Contrary to believe there is no such genre as Emo-Metal (which most metal fans will express their hate/dislike for emo music and its fans). Bands that are considered to be Emo-Metal like Atreyu & Avenged Sevenfold most likely fall into the Hardcore category seperate from metal. Goth-Metal also doesnt exist, although some bands take several gothic elements in their image such as Cradle of filth. All in all, Metal is a great diverse form of music that was just meant to be kept 'underground' (away from mainstream media). Furthermore, people should stop acting ignorantly towards metal i.e. accusing metal as being satanic and/or dumbass + violent. Music is just a form of expression and metal chooses to explore the sensations in which softer rock music fails to reach.

Heavy Metal (Classic) - Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Motorhead Thrash - Pantera, Metallica, Sepultura, Soulfly, Megadeth Death/Melodic death - Death, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom (debatable), In Flames, Cannibal Corpse See definition for some other examples of different subgenres. In conlusion all metal (with some exceptions ofcourse) kicks ass\!

Metal, Adj.: 1. Music normally played at a loud volume, with fast tempos, extrodinary guitar, solid bass, and a strong drum beat (drumming is normally played with double bass drums). [Metalheads] normally start out listening to [Iron Maiden], [Metallica], [Judas Priest], [Black Sabbath], etc. But from the point where one starts listening to "[heavy]" music, one's insatiable thrist for [metal] cannot be quenched. So, much like a drug, listeners get adicted, and they look for heavier and faster bands, such as: [Death], [Venom], [Slayer], [Sodom], [Motorhead], and [Pantera]. Most don't dare go beyond this group of bands, for fear of geting their fucking heads blown off. But, some do still persue yet heaver bands such as: [Napalm Death], [Kreator], [Pig Destroyer], [Cannibal Corpse], and the infamous [Mayhem]. Metal, Noun or Verb: 2. Usually replacing "[cool]", "[awesome]", or other words such as that, which are "[extreme]". For instance, "Holy shit dude, that was so fucking metal\!" "[metal]" can also be a verb, such as, "lets go do somthing metal", which means "lets go do somthing fun or exciting".

"Now thats [metal]\!" -Sebastian Bach "Oh man... that... was so [metal]" "Ok, lets go listen to some [metal]" When [Zakk Wylde] was asked to discribe metal, he anwsered with a long swig of his pale ale, a respectfull huff, and a, "[Metal.... is... metal"

Metal is a genre of music which has been around since the 70's and has become one of the most popular genres of music in modern day society. With the second british invasion of bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, metal was quickly accepted into the American underground. Metal is a very hard genre to define due to the various opinions of many people. Some may say GnR was metal and so it started with bands like that, others may say the Metallica started it all. Whatever you say you have to give credit to Metallica for making it big with metal and making it a more known genre. Whether or not they sold out once they got there, that's not for me to say. Today metal is a global movement and has hundreds of sub-genres that delve deeper into harshness, speed and brutality, but it is safe to say that metal gave them their roots and remains the greatest genre ever.

" Dude did you hear Papa Roach's new single?" " Yeah, why?" " I love that kind of metal" " Fuck you man, here's some Judas stick that in your pipe and smoke it"

a very artistic genre of music that involves alot of skill and concentration to master, when you first get into listening to metal, it may make your ears hurt like hell,then your able to listen to it when your eardrums adapt so you can hear the lyrics, those of no expierience will most likely not be able to understand it and will just say it is complete shit and go back to their Eminem and 50 cent idols. when you get the ears there is no going back.

Rap Kid walks down the street and spots a metal fan listening to his headphones. Rap Kid:"that u listen 2 is just screamin n shit, u aint no real music white boy." metal fan:"alright if its really that bad maybe you can stand listening to it." Rap kid hesitates for a minute. "gimme your headphones emo." Rap kid turns it up full volume. Metal fan:"thats not a good idea." rap kid:"i can stand this shit" Presses play.........head blows up so there is nothing left but everything lower jaw down. Metal fan shruggs, whipes the blood and brains of his headphones, mutters "idiot" at the corpse and continues down the street

A form of music which has been taking a real battering for years now. The main problem is, because of magazines and the APPALLING "Metal" sections in CD shops the first bands which pop into your average persons head when they thnk of metal actually AREN'T metal. This is made even worse by teenagers running around with poppy albums (i.e System of a downs latest two) and calling themselves metalheads, kids who would probably cry and cower after hearing a few minutes of Exhorders 'Slaughter in the Vatican' I can think of 100's of bands misthought of as metal, from the false inclusion of hard rock legends like G n R as metal, right upto this new "Metalcore" fad, which is, when you step back, as close to metal as Britney Spears. And the problem is newcomers to the genre are put off by this crap which is pretending to be metal. NOW, actual metal is propped up by a relatively tiny and extremely dedicated fanbase, with help from more casual listeners who may latch onto one of the sub-genres, such as Doom Metal. These people may not stand out as [metalheads] at all, but are infinitely more attuned to metal than the kid with the [Trivium] T-shirt, who goes on about how "metal" he is.

Commonly mistaken for metal: - All Metalcore bands (granted there's some quite good stuff in there if you look beyong inane rubbish like BFMV, but it just isn't metal) - Nu-Metal - Hard rock bands: i.e Guns n Roses - Again, some good bands in there, but not metal. - Glam metal, like Nu I reckon they only chose the name "metal" as it sounds better than "glam rock". Pretty much no connection whatsoever to actual metal. Best of REAL metal (in my opinion): Summoning, Artillery, Intruder, Testament, Wolfchant, Emperor, Fjoergyn, Death, Savatage, Coroner, Gamma Ray

A heavier form of rock and roll music, that is definately not for everybody. However, if you like music that is violent, heavy, and generally badass, I recommend going to your nearest record store and buying a Priest or Maiden album. If you like rock music, but wish it was heavier, you won't regret it, trust me. There are many different types of metal. I'll list a few examples of each genre:

Heavy Metal: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Tank, Accept, Motorhead, Armored Saint, Saxon. Thrash Metal: SSSSLLLLAAAAYYYYEEEERRRR\!\!\!\!(the yelling is necessary, trust me), Kreator, Sodom, Testament, Overkill, Exodus. Death Metal: Death, Morbid Angel, Possessed, Bolt Thrower, Monstrosity, Deicide, Vader. Power Metal: Sabaton, Hammerfall, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Helloween. Black Metal: (a.k.a. the gods rock and roll of which you need to lay down your soul to) Bathory (old), Celtic Frost, Burzum, Dark Throne, Emperor, Mayhem. Viking Metal: Bathory (new), Ensiferum, Tyr, Korpiklaani, Enslaved. Doom Metal: Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, My Dying Bride (not an emo band, surprisingly), Electric Wizard. And that's just a few. Also, don't think that metal is all a bunch of shouting about Satan. It's not. Trust me, I listen to it, and it's not.

A very deep and flexible genre of music. Ranges from sheer brutality to smooth and melodic. It mostly can be identified by the loudness and bass. The bass is what mostly sets apart metal from typical rock. Read the first definition for more info. Metal takes time to sink into and searching for good metal bands can be a chore, but it's SO worth it. And no, there are still very good and talented metal bands today, even though the majority of shitty bands far outweighs the good bands. Good metal bands usually have a talented vocalist, distorted yet recognizable guitars and fast double bass drums. Metal has very little rules which makes it so flexible and nearly endless. All type of genres have good and bad bands, people just stereotype it as incoherent screaming, which is mostly bullshit. One particular rule that always applies to metal is you must require talent and good songwriting abilities(well, at least for good metal anyways). That's what seperates music from sound. Just listen to Iron Maiden or Iced Earth. Metal also has some of the best sub-genres of all music today. Metal is sort of like therapy to one's soul. That's why it takes patience and an open mind to get used to and appreciate the sheer talent of some metal bands (Blind Guardian anyone?). But don't just narrow your taste to one band, open your mind\! If you can ignore all the droned MTV and myspace bands that make up most of music today, you're in a for the most underrated genre of music ever. \\m/

Examples of good metal bands. Classic(80's and 70's): Iron Maiden Deep Purple Black Sabbath Slayer Testament Metallica Queensryche Judas Priest Megadeth Exodus Dio Anthrax Most of these bands are still around today making new albums. Good modern bands(90's - present): Blind Guardian Iced Earth Dream Theater Shadows Fall Trivium Soilwork In Flames Dragonforce Opeth Mastodon 3 Inches of Blood Rob Zombie Strapping Young Lad Fear Factory

Good. God's gift to all humanity. Metal is metal, fuck the sub-genres, if its metal its metal, if its not its not. Slipknot is metal, but probably the weakest form existing. Lamb of God, Bohemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, etc are all real metal. By the way, a good band I recently found 'War of Ages' is amazing, check it out. Metal Heads is a stereotype for the typical metal enthusiast (excuse the fail spelling). Metal heads dont give a fuck about what people think of them, DO NOT wear any specific type of clothing, they wear whatever the fuck they want, they are loyal to metal. Metal Heads are often looked down upon and are thought to be alcahol and/or drug abusing, stupid, ignorant, greasy fuckups. WRONG. There are some Metal Heads who are like this, for personal reasons, NOT because of their music. Metal Heads, are usually loud, hae a good sence of humor, well educated, get pissed off when people diss their genre, dislike mainstream, are VERY accepting, genuine people who will do what they can to help out, and so much more. If your in a moshpit, and you fall over or the Metal Heads around you think your feeling uncomfortable, they will help you out and make sure your alright. Don't judge us Metal Hewads before you know us.

A movement in music that started in the late 60's with Black Sabbath. Metal is generally classified by a heavy sound and rebellious and/or angry lyrics. Most forms of metal require an incredible musical proficiency. If you don't believe that, pick up a guitar sometime and try to play "Raining Blood" by Slayer. Metal is the antithesis of mainstream music. It is quite possibly the most technically demanding and misunderstood form of music there is. Metal's image was severely damaged in the 80's, with poser bands like Poison and Whitesnake claiming to be metal, when they were nothing more than watered down rock. The damage to metal's image continues even to this day, with many people not in the know beliving metal to be men in glittery spandex and poodle hair prancing about on stage singing 'Talk Dirty To Me." If you want an idea of what Metal truly is, take a look and a listen at a band like Slayer. Some people have the misconception that metal is incoherent and devoid of melody or talent. People who think this obviously haven't listened to Iron Maiden. Generally people with this attitude are morons who listen to U2, so their opinions really don't matter anyway. And to the guy who said metal is 'like rock, only gay,' Shut up and listen to your Ricky Martin album, you fvcking toolbag.

A genre of music that splices with the soul of its listeners, relieves the volcanic frustrations of those who have no other outlet to release into and entrances the minds and hearts of Metalheads internationally to create the familial bonds of respect. No other genre can compare to the brutal and hallowed desecration of the senses that metal inflicts upon the masses. Those who do not understand the therapeutic properties of the music interpret it as Satanic Blasphemy, when in reality; they should be thanking metal for giving Metalheads another alternative besides the animalistic annihilation of everyone who has given them reason for murder.

Metal evolved from Classical music, Blues and Rock to birth the likes of: Black Sabbath, Slayer, Pantera, Autopsy, Lamb of God, Morbid Angel, Dissection, etc...

Examples include using all towels in a hotel, even though you don't need them, taking both hot AND mild sauce when at Taco Bell, even if you have no intention of using them, using the automated handi-door activation so that you don't expend energy opening doors and, the best one, leaving your hotel lights and TV on at all times so that the room is ready to go when you come back.

A very judged and ridiculed type of awsome music. Often put off because of it's sheer intensity, and harsh lyrics, metal is one of the few genres of music that can take the criticism and spit it back out, twice as lound and twice as angry. Often metal bands are looked at as un-inteligent brutes, but in retro-spective, they are some of the smartest and most politicly aware type's of people around. A great example of this is Dee Snider ([Twisted Sister]). In his court case back in the eighties, the judges and prosecutors had not readied themselves for anything. Thinking him to be totaly outclassed and outsmarted, they sat back and watched as he enterd the court room. So they though, a lamb to the slaughter. But upon his arival, he sat down calmly, pulled out his papers, and deliverd such a rousing case that the judge and the prosecutors were dumbstruck. They were left speachless, and without a claim to make, they were forced to close the case against him, and drop the charges on him. Many other Metal artists are looked down upon because of their music. Eg: Marilyn Manson, Till Lindmann, Alice Cooper, Danny Filth, Cory Tailor, ect...\\ But In the end, its a great type of music, consisting of many different sub-genres that make it very diverse. Eg: Speed, Thrash, Grindcore, Industrial, Neo-classical, Death, Black, Swedish, Alternitive, Nu, Power, Progressive, Folk, Glam, Gothcore, Symphonic, Techno and Opratic. Suited to many different types of people. Thus, giving the term [Metalhead] a whole new meaning.

Arch Enemy, Slipknot, System of a down, Rammstein, Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, Slayer, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeath, Disturbed, Godsmack, Lamb of God, Opeth, Nechrophagist, Dark Tranquility, Aman Amarth, Trivium, Meshugga, In Flames, Mudvayne, Naglfar, Cannibal Corpse, Black Lable Society, Iced Earth, Mushroomhead, Saliva, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Metalica, Twisted sister, The Dead Kenadies, Cradle of Filth, Murder Dolls, Papa Roach, Killswitch Engage, and many many more...

The best musical genre in the world. People think it's just a bunch of screaming and satanic lyrics, but they fail to see the true meaning behind metal. Not all of it is screaming, there is melodic metal too. And not all of it is Satanic either, there is Pagan, Viking, Folk, Death, Thrash, Glam, even Christian, and many other genres. Not just satanic metal. Also, some bands CALL themselves metal, when in fact they are just wannabe posers.

Metal: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God, Kataklysm, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Exodus. Wannabe poser shit: Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and Slipknot.

1. A heavier genre of music, usually containing lots of distortion, shredy riffs and solos, men with hair down to their knees, and sometimes a giraffe. More modern styles have incorporated breakdowns to give it a more brutal edge to the sound. These breakdown should not be confused with the Mariah Carry type of breakdown. 2. A type of elementary substance, many of which are characterized by opacity, ductility, conductivity, and a unique luster when freshly fractured.

1. An element on the periodic table that is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Often have a metallic sheen to them. 2. A genre of music that grew out of rock. Its listeners, called [metalheads], are often stereotyped incorrectly, as is the music itself. Metal is not a bunch of rich, angsty teens screaming about Satan, violence, and sex. That is called Metalcore or Nu-metal and is generally looked down upon. Metal is a genre based off of originality and technicality. It is extremely diverse ranging from bands such as [Pain Of Salvation] to [Decapitated].

1. Gold, or Iron are commonly known examples of metal 2. Cynic, Atheist, Mors Principium Est, Ayreon, Dream Theater, Opeth, Death, Miseration, Decapitated, Unmoored, Strapping Young Lad, UneXpecT, Torchbearer, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, Anata, Nevermore, Between The Buried and Me, Iron Maide, ect. ect.

A sub-genre of rock music. Notorious for being heavy (hence the name, heavy metal), dark, and often deep pitched. The bass and drums are often played in sync while the guitar plays the main rhythm with riffs, licks, and chords. Stereotypic metal is often associated with darkness, destruction, pain, and Satanism. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the music mommy and daddy warned you not to listen to.

The father of metal, Ozzy Osbourne, bit the head off of a bat during the song "Bark At The Moon". THAT is metal.

The best kind of music ever made. Created as a branch of rock, jazz and blues. People stereotype it to death, saying it's nothing but loud guitars and screaming. Most of it is actually composed of complex riffs, excellent solo's, and the best singing in the music business. Sure, there are a few black sheep's in the genre but when you ignore that stuff, you will see that it is awesome. Listened to by metalheads, who are also stereotyped. Close-minded people think that metalheads are nothing but loud and obnoxious rejects. This is usually untrue, a vast majority of metalheads are deep thinkers and individuals who don't just follow the crowd.

Some examples of good metal bands are Metallica Iron Maiden Slayer Gojira Lamb of God Avenged Sevenfold (before their self-titled album) COG Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin System of a Down (although their genre can be disputed) Megadeth Disturbed Examples of metal stereotyping Dumbass: Eww, u lizen 2 metallica? dats all just screamin. u should lizen 2 50 cent or fall out boi\! Metalhead: Fuck you, I won't like something just because it's popular. Metal has deep lyrics and talented musicians. Dumbass: nu\! its just screamin\! the only good metal is avril lavigne\! Metalhead: Fuck you, she's a poser? And have you ever heard Metallica? Dumbass: yah... Metalhead: What song?

A vast music genre which can house, and satisfy all of the theraputic needs of any teenage spirit. Penetrating riffs, sub-level bass playing, ubercool machine gun drumming and in many cases beautiful lyrics. Metal has the potential to cover any emotion, unlike other genres such as Emo, which can only cover whining, and loss. Metal is emotion, motion, melody and RAW FUCKING POWER\!\!\! All blended into one creamy mixture of aceness which in my eye, can rarely be matched by any other genre.

TRUE Metal is the most under appreciated style of music today. There are many good, TRUE, metal bands that exist. However, shit like Slipknot, Korn, System of a Down, and (recent) Cradle of Filth have given this genre a bad name in the mainstream. Thus, all the good bands were forced to remain obscure. This is one thing that seperates the TRUE metalheads, from the posers. The posers are the stupid kids who claim to be metalheads, yet listen to nothing but slipknot while claiming to be "[Hardcore]". The TRUE metal fans are the ones who appreciate bands that are not well known to the media whores that MTV controls. TRUE metal fans and TRUE metal bands are the 2 last remaining hopes of the genre.

Metal is a very old genre of music, with its origins dating back to 1960's. While there was not actual metal during that time, bands were experimenting with heaviness, and it was no suprise that the first metal band (Black Sabbath) was soon to be born. Metal originally was one genre. But as time passed more genres were born. it is in the 80's, during the days of NWOBHM and Thrash Metal (two very awesome and popular metal genrews) that metal started changing noticeably. Thrash metal was born when NWOBHM and Hardcore Punk somehow got combined. The first extreme metal genre was created, one that had the energy, speed, craziness and politicalness of punk and the complex riffing, complex lyrical writing abilities, guitar virtuosity and instrumental pwnage of NWOBHM. Thrash was perhaps the most popular and successful genre of metal during its years, with bands like Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax (the big 4 of thrash) as well as smaller acts like OverKill, Testament and Annihaltor enjoying much success. Unfortunately, after the 80's and the appearence of grunge, thrash started fading away and bands simply started lacking the energy and creativity of their past. From what is known, thrash metal though, is slowly getting back onto its feet and coming back with a vengeance. In 1980's, after Venom made their monumental "Black Metal" album, black metal was (sort of) born, although it was not THAT well defined yet. Bathory, Celtic Forst and Mercyful Fate (note: those bands were not really black metal, but they came really, really close.) then came along and helped solidify black metal, defining its form and giving black metal shape. (Black metal often spoke of the occult, Satan, blasphemy, nihlism but sometimes focused on fantasy and folklore, and even national socialism. Their was usually a very fast drumbeat, an often equally fast guitar and bass, shrieky/raspy vocals and sometimes keyboards or symphonic elements, just to add atmosphere) Then the more commonly associated with black metal bands popped up, such as Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum and such. Black metal, despite its age and the difficulty of getting use to it, remains quite popular in underground extremem metal circles. Was very popular in the 1990's. As of right now, the genre seems to be doing okay, with no really big problems. Some random black metal bands: Antestor, Satyricon, Emperor, (early) Behemoth, Dark Funeral, Enslaved, Old Man's Child and Solefald. Death metal also popped up during this time, it being the "spawn" of thrash metal. The first death metal bands were like thrash bands... on steroids. They took all the characteristics of thrash and pushed them to the next level, resulting in incredible amounts of heaviness and loudness. The early history of death metal is rather fuzzy, but it is presumably Possessed who made the first death metal album and fellow bands like Death who laid down the blueprints. And so, having its shape defined, death metal went on a musical rampage and mutated itself into a gamut of genres and fusion genres, which include melodic death metal, technical death metal, as well as deathcore and presumably grindcore (which was presumably the doing of British metallers Napalm Death). It remains a very influential genre to this day, although there are some problems of a possible commercialization of this genre in progress, mainly concering melodeath and deathcore. Good examples of random death metal bands are Cannibal Corpse, Mortification, In Flames (melodeath), Cryptopsy, Nile, Obituary and Cynic. Of course, there are melodic metal genres too. Power Metal popped up in the 80's too. It was focused mainly in Europe, with some bands popping up the U.S. It tended to be a rather happy and upbeat genre. It mainly incorporated characteristics of traditional heavy metal, but would often add bits of thrash or speed, as well as create an Epic feel. Usually fast paced, with clean vocals, fantasyish lyrics (includes cosmology, metaphysics, religion, mythology etc.), powerful, uplifting choruses, high-register clean vocals, speedy guitars and keyboards often, as well as the occasional symphonic elements. Has not changed too much and the genre does not seem to be suffering from as many problems as other genres. Good examples of power metal include Blind Guardian, Helloween, Stratovarius, Jacob's Dream, Sonata Arctica, Angra and Rhapsody of Fire. Other genres Progressive Metal: A very technical and complex genre of metal, characterised by intricate compositional structures, odd time signatures, intricate instrument playing, long songs, lyrical epics and concept albums. Has not really changed that much or been negatively affected a lot either. Dream Theater, possibly the most skilled, well known and most popular prog. metal band of today, along with Queensryche and Fates Warning (and maybe Symphony X) defined this genre. Good examples of prog. metal are Shadow Gallery, Opeth, Ayreon, King's X and Pain of Salvation. Doom Metal - The 2nd oldest genre of metal. Also the slowest. Tends to be of a pessimistic nature and often evokes an atmosphere of darkness, despair and misery. Strongly influenced by Black Sabbath. Guitars and riffing tend to be downtuned and loud. Newer bands tend to use keyboards. Tempos are rarely fast, and usually are mid-tempo or slow. Vocals are usually clean, although some genres make use of growls or shrieks. Examples of doom bands are Paradise Lost, Crowbar, Amorphis, early Anathema, Candlemass, Dolorian and Esoteric. Nu-metal: Not a true metal genre. Actually a form of hard rock. Has similar characteristics of metal, but they tend to be all watered down. Incorporates elements of rap, grunge, alt. metal, electronic music with thrash or groove metal, although the overall result is still hard rock. Guitar playing tends to be lacking in complexity and usually used to create emotions of angst or hostility (to move people to the beat), consisting usually of a few notes and power chords played in rhythmic patterns. Drums are often in the form of hip hop and funk influenced beats and bass, an important nu-metal instrument, tends to be reminiscent of hip-hop or funk. Sometimes, there are even turntables. Vocals bear ressemblance to rap, punk, pop, normal rock and such. Lyrics tend to be angsty, concerning life struggles (eg. childhood abuse, alienation, relationship struggles etc.) as well just everyday life. nu-metal (also known as mallcore) tends to be hated and despised by many metalheads. Some examples are Korn, Limp Bizkit, Spineshank, Disturbed and Linkin Park. Metalcore- A fusion of hardcore punk and metal, resulting in a genre which is not either. Like thrash, it has the speed of hardcore with the instrumental playing style of metal. Also, it is notorious for its sometimes incredibly cheesey/emo-like breakdowns. Bands tend to have either more metal influence (Trivium, God Forbid, Killswitch Engage etc.) or more hardcore punk influence (Zao, Norma Jean, Bury your dead etc.). Usually, if the influence is metal influence, it tends to be melodic death metal and melodeath influenced bands are sometimes known as swede-core or gothencore. Lyrically, focuses on inner/moral strength, integrity, life-struggles and such. Also known as mall metal and like nu-metal, is a very controversial genre, hated by some, loved by others or simply not minded. Examples include Zao, Norma Jean, As I Lay Dying, Trivium and Killswitch Engage.

A great and somewhat diverse genre contrary to many peoples opinions. I will give a history on metal. It all started in the late 60s, at the time psychedellic rock, blues rock, and classic rock were popular, and are the stylistic origins of Heavy Metal. The first band that was recognizably different than rock in sound, was Black Sabbath, formed in 1968, due to an industrial accident, the bands lead guitarist Tony Iommi had a few of his figertips cut off, but after tuning his guitar to make it easier on his fingers (and using artificial fingertips of course) a "heavier" metal sound was created. other bands considered heavy metal were Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest (Zeppelin being more like Classic Rock) both of those bands also formed in 1968. Years later, a new wave of metal came out, called NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) this era started in the mid to late 70s, and bands that fall under it would be Iron Maiden, Diamond Head and Venom (Venom being one of the first Black Metal bands). Shortly after, in the early 80s, a new genre of metal would unfold, commonly known as "Hair Metal" but also known as Glam Metal. bands of this era dressed up in spandex and wore makeup with hair that looked like an explosion in a matress factory, they commonly sang about partying and sex, bands of this era include Kiss, Montley Crue, and Twisted sister. However, not all bands of this era agreed with this, not long after, the Thrash Metal scene was about to unfold. Among the first of these bands was Metallica, formed in 1981, thier outlook and attitude was a very unglamourous slap in the face to glam metal, with characteristics such as ripped denim jeans, t-shirts of thier favourite bands and unkempt hair and an attitude of music over money (too bad they have changed) and anti-mainstream, Metallica was 1 of the "Big Four of Thrash" The other 3 were Megadeth (formed by Dave Mustaine after he was kicked out of Metallica), Slayer and Anthrax. And plenty more to come. In the early 90s Metal in general started really losing popularity due to grunge rock bands such as Nirvana becoming huge, but Metal did not stop there. In the mid to late 90s death metal started to become popular among some, bands included Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, and In Flames. renowned for its extremely loud guitaring and drumming along with either melodic screaming or growling/screaming at the same time. There are many other genres I dont have time to cover, but for those who are interested, here are some bands for some different genres of Metal Heavy Metal: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest Thrash Metal: Metallica, Slayer, Kreator, Testament, Annihilator Shred Metal: Racer X, Miachel Angelo Batio Death Metal: Children of Bodom, Lamb of God Glam Metal: Twisted Sister, Cinderella, Montley Crue Black Metal: Venom Nu-Metal: shouldn't even be called Metal. Bands include Linkin Park, Slipknot, Limp Biskit And there you have it, your lesson on Metal.

Metal is a great genre if you give it a chance and listen to the right stuff.

Genre of music which evolved from hard rock in the late 60s. First 'true' metal band were probably Black Sabbath, who were the first to use most of the characteristic features of the genre, such as downtuned guitars (due to an accident suffered by Tony Iommi, the guitarist), use of the 'tri-tone', heavy distortion, use of minor pentatonic scale solos and religious themes. Metal has evolved from the original 'heavy metal' to now incorporate a whole host of other genres. Many of these simply take the metal 'blueprint', and add elements taken from other genres (for example, Folk Metal will combine the distortion and 'dark' feel of metal with the meandering melody lines, different instruments and rural themes of folk. However, some use influences not drawn from other genres, and the large number of genres withing metal can be f*cking confusing to an outsider. So, in an attempt to describe each genre in a sentence... Heavy Metal - Darker, louder version of rock with religious themes. New Wave Of British Heavy Metal - The above, but slightly camper. Power Metal - Super-cheesey, mildly homo-erotic version of metal, usually with fantasy themes. Gothic Metal - Either guys trying to sound like vampires over a tamer version of normal metal, or operatic female singers doing a full vocal workout over a more melodic style of metal. Symphonic Metal - Kinda like normal metal, but with bits of an orchestra shoved in for good measure. Death Metal - Louder than normal metal, less melody, and with a singer who sounds like he has a really bad throat. Black Metal - Similar to Death Metal, but more melodic, and, if from Norway, generally with artists imprisoned for burning churches. Nu-Metal - Commercialised metal, often with hip-hop influences, basically MTV's attempt to cash in on the genre. Progressive Metal - Prog rock, but louder, longer, and generally with even deeper themes, and musicians who may use influences from any other metal genre in their music. Doom Metal - Metal, slowed down to produce a slow, unstoppable wall of sound. Stoner Doom Metal - Doom metal, but they haven't worked out how to change notes. Glam Metal - Metal, but wearing a dress, and singing about girls. Speed Metal - Metal played very, VERY fast. Thrash Metal - A heavier version of Speed metal. Alternative Metal - A handy genre into which you can shove all the bands you're not too sure about. Right, that's the music. Personally a fan of Folk, Progressive and Power metal, but they're all pretty good. Apart from nu-metal. May be hard to get into, but there's something there for everyone.

1. A genre of music evolved from punk, and has many different styles, from slow and chunky, to fast and light. Metal usually employs distorted guitars, extremely fast double bass, and bass that gives the guitars and/or drums a deeper tone. The vocals in metal can be clean and melodic or growls and screeches. Growling is also known as screaming, and these type of vocals is usually why people think that metal is horrible, and usually stereotype the entire metal genre as "no talent, random playing, horrible screaming nonsense." Metal songs also employs solos, which usually includes immense shredding in guitar solos, and extremely fast playing in drum solos. 2. A type of material, with many different varieties. Usually a good conductor of heat. Metal is very sturdy and used as frames and supports. Also makes the body cars.

1. Avenged Sevenfold, Judas Priest, All That Remains, Metallica, Megadeth, The Devil Wears Prada, and Bullet for my Valentine are all metal bands. 2. Aluminum, copper, iron, and steel are all types of metals. JOKES: What does the material and genre have in common? There are many different types.

Music in its most perfect form. A metal song usually has fast and hard guitar riffs, Lightning speed drums, dark lyrics, and a kick ass guitar solo. Black Sabbath was the first real metal band, although some bands you wouldnt expect to be metal bands, such as AC/DC and Led Zeppelin have also been an influence. After Black Sabbath came Judas Priest, Accept, etc. After those came Motley Crue, Van Halen, Motorhead Ozzy Osbourne(solo artist), then came Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, and Anthrax, then came the worst time with bands such as Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and Nickelback. But there is some good nu metal bands out there such as Saliva, At the Gates, and KoRn. But overall, Metal has had a great history with some of the most talented bands ever. Some of the best metal artists/musicians in my opinion are.. Randy Rhoads-Guitar/Quiet Riot/Ozzy Osbourne Udo Dirkschnider-Vocalist/Accept Ozzy Osbourne-Vocals/Black Sabbath/Solo Cliff Burton-Bass/Metallica Eddie Van Halen-Guitar/Van Halen Tony Iommi-Guitar/Black Sabbath Jimmy Page-Guitar/Led Zeppelin Kerry King-Guitar/Slayer Vinnie Paul-Drums/Pantera Wolf Hoffman-Guitar/Accept Zakk Wylde-Guitar/Black Label Society/Ozzy Dee Snider-Vocals/Twisted Sister Dimebag Darell-Guitar/Pantera Slash-Guitar/Guns N Roses Glenn Tipton-Guitar/Judas Priest KK Downing-Guitar/Judas Priest ..And many others

Metal is quite obviously enough either an element of the earth or a very wonderful genre originating from rock. Rock is also wonderful. "Metal Heads" are people who listen to Metal. These people are the best people the great Dieties unknown to us created. Those formentioned Dieties who reign above us love Metal Heads. In fact, they most likely despise anti-Metal-ers, that's what pop and most Emo is for. The great degredation set upon us by the whorey teens and tweens who think that Metal sucks and that faux music with a singer who may or may not be a good artist is a horrible thing. Do not judge someone by their taste in music, unless they adore whores, men and women alike, who sing to "bop bop bop", as mentioned by a previous definition. By saying that Metal sucks or that Metal Heads are unintelligent, you are most likely saying that you are either Old, a whore worshiping shit, very biased and ignorant to the "kick-ass-i-ness" of the Rock world, OR just need to stop sucking your boyfriend's dick long enough to listen to real music.

Metal can only be described as the best genre ofmusic to ever hit the earth. Metal derived from the hard rock popular in the late 60s such as Led Zepplin and turned into Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper in the 70s. Continually accused of being Satanist and listening to Metal or wearing band T-shirts made people targets for police. More bands followed like Iron Maiden in the ealy 80s. Then Speed and Death metal came along when Metallica, Slayer and Megadeath showed up. In the mid 80s Gwar came out and took the stage show to the max with fake decapitations and blood spewing everywhere. In the early 90s (93-94) Melodic Death Metal bands came out of Scandanavia like In Flames and Children of Bodom. Then came along Nu Metal a.k.a Mallcore. Nu metal includes Slipknot, Korn Manson. System of a Down is slightly Nu Metal but more harcore punk-metal. Progreessive metal bands like Tool don't have the same style as other forms of metal but can still retain the heaviness of metal.

Metal is awesome and emo sucks. In Flames, Children of Bodom, Gwar, Tool and Metallica are awesome

Any band who uses an electric guitar as the main melodic instrument must be considered metal, thus making Jimi Hendrix the godfather of the genre. Clearly metal originates from rock and blues [Judas Priest], [Overkill] but traces from atonal jazz [Morbid Angel] and punk [Metallica] are also to be found. Acoording to this definition nu-metal and rap metal and all that new shit qualifies as metal...yes but not a very listen-worthy kind. These bands are clearly for kids but hey..I love kids and I started off with listening to Nirvana and the black album myself, so who can blame them ? To those people who so clearly dislikes this lovely genre i can only say: go kill yourself with an xtacy overdose...please\!

None of you dissing metal here know shit about metal. You're thinking of Grindcore and/or Nu Metal, they both suck balls and should die. When you say Heavy Metal is killing rock 'n' roll, then your only right if you're thinking of Nu Metal, which is true; it is. But most of your rock 'n' roll is metal, believe it or not.Led Zeppelin(sometimes), Guns n' Roses, Metallica, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, AC/DC, etc, they're metal. When it comes to the whole satan thing, that's black metal, and that IS in fact, screaming, most of the time. "Bad" metal is not very common. The only metal that appears on shitty MTV is again, Nu Metal, thanks to NU metal and Nu Metal only is Rock 'N' Roll dying.

Look into Heavy Metal before you define it, and you wont be considered "Stupid". P.S To the guy who dissed Slipknot, your absolutely right, They suck big ol' Elephantitis infected balls.

A genre of music that, in the late 70s-80s, was based on partying and having a good time were the only ways to live. On occasion you would get darker lyrics, but not like the shit you see in bands today such as Atreyu and lamb of god. Fuck them.

Good metal: Metallica, Poison, Def Leppard, Ratt, Megadeth, Kiss, Skid Row, Ozzy, Van Halen, Dokken, Queensryche, and Motley Crue. (While writing this, I was listening to "Jet City Woman" by Queensryche and "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden)

Metal can be listened to by Anyone. Just some types of metal are preferred by different types of people. People consider Metal something from the Devil. Which is only partly true as not ALL Metal bands are Devil-worshippers. That's the problem with the world today. It's prejudice. Metal is a great type of Music.

A genre of music with fast pace guitar riffs, bass lines, and drum beats. Also can be slow, downbeat tempo (see Doom Metal). Metal bands generally have a bass player, one or two guitar players, and drummer. But not limited too. Sound is usually heavy, static sounding, with heavy distortion of guitars, and or/voices. Guitars include atleast one rhytem guitar, and at least one soloist. Solo's are often fast paces, but can also be slow or a mixture of the both. Voices typically contain screaming, grunting, yelling, or singing. Lyrically speaking Metal bands typically contain lyrics full of anger. But can also contain hate, depressive, emotional lyrics. Can also include lyrics pertaining to current events. The metal genre can be further broken down into smaller, sub genres that focus on any one of the pre mentioned attributes of metal. These genres can focus on one specific attribute, i.e. melody or can be a mixture of all. On other occasions, Metal can have a trance, or technoy sound this is call Industrial Metal.

Metal Bands: Opeth, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, Caliban, Fear Factory, All Shall Perish, Candlemass, Static-X, In Flames, Devil Driver, Coal Chamber, Cradle of Filth Metal Sub-Genres: Thrash, Death, Black, Doom, Speed, White (Christian), Heavy, Rap, Swedish(In Flames), Gothic, Industrial.

Metal is a loud angry form of music that came into being when angry [white people] stole guitar scales from the blues. It can be characterized by loud distorted guitars, loud drums, and generaly campy lyrics. Music is a fairly varied genre adn consists of my sub-genres the were created in an atempt to stay underground and avoid the fate that always befall underground music the gains popularity (for example in its most popular prime metal unfortunatly spawned [poison]).here are some sub-genres: [heavy metal] started it all, so it desrves respect, that said there isn't much realy heavy about it, just loud blues inspired rock [NWOBHM] as above, but becoming more recognizable as metal [Power Metal] Super Campy, Mildly Homo Erotic.... but you gotta' respect the skill. [Gothic Metal] goth themes and vocals + watered down metal backing = Gothic Metal [symphonic metal] metal with pianos violins and choruses thrown in for. [Death Metal] low syncopated guitar parts, blast-beats, gurgling rasping vocals, and gore obsessed lyrics. [Black Metal] loud fast guitars (not as down tuned as DeathMetal), blast-beats, shrieking vocals, [corpse paint], and shitty production [Nu Metal] the bastard child of the metal community, very comercial, but not all bad. encorperates rap. Fans are really the only annoying thing. [progressive metal] long, varied, songs and heavy influence from other genres. [Doom Metal] Slow, heavy, depressive metal with 8+ minute songs. [stoner doom metal] [downer] fueled doom metal. [glam metal] super campy metal in drag [metalcore] new version of [nu metal], just as comercial. fans just as annoying. basicaly emo with metal guitar. metalcore musicians have talent, but no heart. Still... one of the most popular kinds of metal. Also Band names must be at least 3 words long. [thrash metal] loud fast metal with dark lyrical themes and fast complex guitar, however thrash metal still retains classic rock vocal style. [speed metal] NWOBHM, but faster. [Deathcore] emo inspired Death Metal, with leass anger and gore. Mostly found on Myspace.

\<I\>"For us Metal is absolutely NOT only the music. Neither is it only a way of belonging to a social culture group, which many people think Metal is, and they call it “the Metal way of life.” Music is only a form of expression. A language. A sort of communication. But Metal, being Metal, is representing, searching and striving for particular values. It’s for us what we guess for religious people is their religion/faith/god or whatever you call it. But we do NOT believe in any controlling providence\! Therefore we don’t believe in fate. We believe in actions caused by oneself. Although we always have a certain amount of belief reserved for possible influences of spiritual character. We have our very own interpretations and general way. The key to the realm of what we call Metal is--among other things--striving for inner pureness, a romantic (which means magical) beholding of life, balance and harmony within you (but even storming thoughts can generate new aspects of awakening and progression), the general insight and by that the understanding of the true nature of things, striving for trueness and honesty which lights up and embellishes one’s and others’ way of life. True Metal as music is Metal true in spirit, theory and practice. It shall not be measured by stylistic or instrumental values, but by the content\! Creating art which is in such true balance with one’s personal ideology that it almost borders on madness. This is the only way. Total consistency, but also objective judgement." - Lost Horizon\</I\>

Death to false metal\!

A form of music, once dominating, but suffering greatly from lack of experimentation, a depraved mindset of being completely superior, and following a uniform pattern of "what is metal".

I used to enjoy metal; Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Superjoint Ritual, Dimmu Borgir, Shadows Fall. But I opened my eyes to see that a metalhead has no identity nor self confidence. I'd bet good weed money a TRUE punk/hardcore kid could beat the ever loving shit out of a 'metal kid'.

A genre of [[popular music]] characterized by a heavy, aggressive sound, the usage of guitar distortion and drums, and great power (often manifested in screamed lyrics and chaotic sounding guitar). Unfortunately, like other genres of popular music, it tends to emphasize style over substance. Additionally, it has a slew of subgenres that seem to fragment at the slightest provocation. While it has power, most metal musicians simply don't have the skill to harness that power effectively.

Why would I want to listen to metal when I could get some classical music instead?

Metal is a bunch of jumbled noise which always sounds the same. It started off with good intentions but there are only so many original songs you can write using open-eight or open-one on the guitar(for those of you who don't play guitar this is a reference to the frets on which every metal song ever written is played... basically if you need to read this to understand the reference go to guitar center, pick up a guitar and play open-one-open-one-open-open-open-one and you can officially play metal). well i was just gonna be quick and witty about this but now im gonna go on a rant.... metal bands that are incredibly UNoriginal- any band that uses blast beats. don't misunderstand me... i think metal drummers are some of the most musically talented people alive, but when all you hear is five minutes of metronome-like drumbeats it gets redundant. I was in high school band, and i remember being annoyed straight to death when our shitty trumpet section practiced during class because the metronome was going the whole time.(btw being in band was the greatest thing i have ever done for my musical life and if you weren't in band or didn't have professional training then you probably have timing issues) Back to my point... blast beats=obnoxious. Then there is guitar... I am a guitarist, and i KNOW that Michael Angelo Batio is the greatest guitarist who has ever walked the unworthy face of this planet.(Just dropping a good name so you understand what i consider talent.) I know most of the people who read this are not musicians so i will dumb this down a bit. Mot metal bands play in some form of dropped-d(whether its dropped-c like darkest hour or dropped-b like unearth or dropped-a with 7-string guitars or even when morons, who can't understand the fact that guitar is not meant to be a bass, tune down as far as G). so i will speak in dropped-d language... all metal songs are written in one of two keys on the guitar (in standard dropped-d)the key of D-minor(Open-Eight) or F-Major(Open-One\<also known as D-Locrian\>.) They may tune down to hell and back but they still use the same frets and write the same songs over and over and over and over and over and over and... I know from experience that if a metal band tries to write in a different key then they are labeled as sellouts or emo-fags. and that is just pure ignorance... pure musical ignorance. point is... while metal guitarists are usually amazingly talented players, they are very closed-minded and seem to think they have to play a certain way to prove their true metaldom. Vocals... scream, yell, done. some metal vocalists sing, and sometimes it's good, but sometimes it sucks. The best metal bass players are actually the oneswho don't do anything that remotely resembles the guitars but actually go the fuck off with some crazy basslines that still fits with what the rest of the band. Now if you have made it this far you either agree with me or hate me... but let me tell you why i think the way I do. I was in a faggot-ass screamo band. but i was a metalhead and very unhappy with what we were playing. i was kicked out because i didn't dress right to be in the band(i.e. no girlpants) so i continued my metal binge... I came up with bands like, Cephalic Carnage, Cannibal Corpse, Pig Destroyer, Morbid Angel, and Death. but eventually I realized that i was only listening to that because i wanted to be more metal than the next guy. then i realized that the amazing talent i was hearing was strangely boring and repetitive. My motto for music, and life is "Write something you can't play, and when you can play it you will be better." I still listen to some metal... Between the Buried and Me, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Human Abstract, Glass Casket, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Unearth. Sorry, but I grew up and now i am a better musician because i expand my knowledge of music.

metal is boring and redundant. listen to classical music, or jazz, then decide if you like music or if you just like being part of a group.

a type of music evolved from bands in the 60s like black sabbath and led zepplin that paved the way for metal to come into the 70s such as iron maiden and motorheadwho paved the way for bands in the 80s like slayer and pantera and megadeth and anthrax. Slayer with its fast riffs paved the way for faster drumming and riffs from bands like napalm death and morbid angel. In the late 80s early 90s there was hair metal which isnt even metal the there was grunge and then after grunge came the breakthrough of scandinavian metal like mayhem, emporer, borknager, and gorgoroth and things in that category now comes newer metal of today like lamb of god which was originally called burn the preist, and killswitch engage, god forbid, shadows falls, and more

Hilairously over the top music genre that thinks playing very fast will somehow make quality music. Fans are often very defensive when it comes to this, and will often tell critics to listen to "some REAL metal." This "REAL metal" is in fact some obscure band that has a name like BONES OF DEATH or ETERNAL DYING and sounds like everything else out there. How to make a metal song: 1) Fast guitars that are heavy on the distortion (unless it's "the slow song") 2) Pounding drums with unncessairly complicated fills 3) Stupid screaming/growling vocals that don't make any sense 4) A stupid title that usually relates to something graphic or violent. Only serves to highlight the fact that the bans is made up of long haired 40-somethings who are acting like they are 12 years old.

The best form of music for fighting, getting things done, and generally feeling high and aggressive. There is a really weak form of metal out now called Nu-Metal, in which the guitarists are always proud of the fact they can't play, and the lyrics are utterly unintelligible. It doesnt matter though as long as you have an eyebrow piercing, a goatee beard and live with your mom. That's not proper metal, it's just gay and you know it. Proper metal is Black Sabbath, Pantera, Ozzy and anything else which doesn't take itself too seriously. It helps if the guitarist can play proper guitar solos too, but really being able to drink English quantities of beer and roll joints is the acceptable minimum for a metal guitarist. Being too good means you spent too much time practising as a kid and not enough time puking and laughing about it with the bad influence kids at school.

Dimebag Darrell (note daft name) had a stupid shaped guitar, sweated a lot, like to get stoned and had a pink beard. He could also play properly. Hence he is a great example of a "proper metal" guitarist.

Arguably one of the most overrated genres of music ever devised. Involving little creative musical tastes, but making up for it with meaningless lightning-fast riffs and extremely prolonged and annoying heavy double bass lines. Metalheads compare metal to the 'alternatives', punk and rap, and think that those are the only other genres people listen to and appreciate, and because metal is 'better' than them, metal MUST be the greatest.. right? I'm not going to get into punk and metal and rap, because I don't properly appreciate any of them. But punk's roots and rap's roots are a lot better and go back way longer. No, metal was not what started rock, anyone who believes that was about 45 years off. Rock obviously sparked metal, and I feel ashamed that such amazing and talented music could fill the mainstream with such filth. Nuff said.

Metal took The Who, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin and others and fucked their style up the ass to create a hideous 'genre' of music. Fuck Metal.

A genre of music with atleast 100 sub-genres, none of which fit the same definition. basically any type of rock that's heavier than rock, exept for some metal which isn't all that heavy but still called metal for some reason. Powermetal is called metal because it's not like rock. metal guitar solos are sound the same. Death metal has to be the worst form of metal. and progressive band these days is called metal even if they aren't heavy at all. So to sum up, metal is any kind of music with electric guitars. Exept for acoustic metal. See what metal has become? Too many sum-genres

Person: Hey man, want to listen to some metal? Person2: sure, what kind? Person: nu-grind-black-goth-thrashy powermetal but with fukin harash vocals and a flute player. Person2: what the fuck? I'm going to go listen to Black Sabbath.

An offshoot from rock & roll that gets steadily worse and worse and grows more and more retarded with each new band and sub-genre. *note* - there are very,very few eceptions to this but that means that there are "SOME" exceptions (do you hear me you dumb motherfuckers?) Basically metal has taken the focus off of making good music and placed the focus on such gayness as: fashion,being evil,dressing the part,worshiping Satan,singing like a gay fuck,on homosexuality and bi-sexuality,or just on horny heterosexuality where the bands try and act all macho,and on being a hard drug junkie\! Tattooes and piercings are more important than sounding good and making good music.Being a fuck is valued above being intelligent.The lyrics in metal grow exceedingly more and more retarded with each new band or sub-genre.The vocals in metal were never at an acceptable level of talent.But the vocals get worse and worse with each new band and sub-genre.There's this gay,dark theme in metal where they just spew hatred for Christianity.

WAR PIGS by Black Sabbath had some thoughtful,intelligent CHRISTIAN lyrics if you are intelligent enough to decipher them(it ain't that hard retard\!)...

It is a waste of time to try and classify all of the bands in the world but if you did most of the good ones would come under the group heading of METAL. [Punk] (im talkingh real punk, not 'my girlfriend left me' shit) is kind of like metal except with most of the goodness talken out and replaced with Dee-dee Ramone (who has a face so hideous that when he looked in the mirror he died) and is therefore rarely ever good. [Dark Throne] is not metal, see its definition for details.

'Heavy metal is the law' 'I am quite gay, i am going to listen to some non-metal'

crepitus, the most metal band on the fuckin planet.

Listen to Crepitus.

126. (metal) (54↑, 153↓)
A sad,pathetic excuse for a music genre which I,as a classic rock fan,have absolutely zero respect for.

I have no use for metal.It's for weak,stupid cum buckets.

1.) See the Periodic Table of the Elements. Most of the little squares on the left are metals or metalloids. Nonmetals (with the exception of hydrogen) are on the right fourth, next to the noble gasses. 2.) A genre of music that causes a great difference of opinion. Charachterized by loud cacaphonious guitar riffs and barely audible lyrics, metal fans are derogotoraly referred to as [metal heads]. But there is no problem in making fun of metal heads because that is what they are, see definition 1, their brains are made of Uranium for listening to that crap. All of you angsty metal kids should listen to some classic punk, or some [ska] and cut your hair. You will do the world a favor.

1.) I really like to play with Rutherfordium. It's a metal. 2.) "Yeah man, i so totally went to an augument of death salazar war blood shroomfest korncob concert the other night and headbanged all night long to their newest hit, "Kick me in the face and get a tatoo of a dragon on your penis" which has a 672196528 hour long guitar solo of three notes played in repetitive patterns, METAL RULES\!" -Metal head

quite possibly the worst type of music ever. if you enjoy the sound of someone being tortured and beaten and the sound of people stomping on small animals, metal is for you.

iron maiden is a horrible metal band, in fact all metal is irritating.

Metal was the beginning of most rock you stupid fuck\!

Led Zeppelin is metal music.

131. (metal) (37↑, 185↓)
A shitty form of [popular] music on which virtually all subgenres rely on the 'as long as it sounds catchy' philosphy. Truly, atrocious popular youthmusic from which the listeners actually think its [underground]. A few subgenres that do not apply to that rule are [technical metal], [math metal] and [black metal] Metal relies on simple musical theory. Simple rithms, and certainly does not ask much virtuosis from the perform artist as well as compositional ability from the composer. Some genres that would rise above this atrocity that is metal would be: dark noise tech trance europian classical music psybient

Metaller: I listen to metal, I'm so underground. Me: Inferiour troglodyte. What does it matter if you are underground? and let me tell you that you are not. Everyone knows your Children of Bodom and your Dry Kill Logic.

Apparently, i don't know what metal is, according to all of you. I listen to heavy metal, and I consider bands such as Slipknot, Atreyu, In flames, Shadows Fall metal, but some of you seem to think that they are "posers" I classify metal in two catagories: Heavy Metal and old school metal. heavy would be the above mention bands and old school would be Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Van Halen, stuff from the 70's. yeah, back in thier heyday they were the most metal shit you could find. But the definition of metal has changed over the years, and if you compare Zeppelin to Slayer, there's quite a difference, and for good reason. heavy metal is rocking out, and just having a good time and being you. Old school metal was about acid trips and pink bunnies in the air, while screwing a groupie or two. Times have changed and definitions are rewritten over time, and you gotta understand that.

Metal: Slipknot, System of a Down(kinda), Atreyu, Slayer, Meshuggah, Hatebreed old school Metal: Pink floyd, Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Queen
