Metal and Rock Thread

Yeah thats the point. I definitely need a couple of Maiden albums now. And check out some more technical deathcore.

Since we are talking about metal here...

Don’t you guys find pretty similar how gamers use the terms "hardcore" and "casual" games, to how people talk about "true metal" and "false metal"??

APC is amazing. Prog Metal but metal nonetheless.

I'm a bigger fan of newer metal than older metal honestly.

Who knows Rammstein?

Urgh, I can't stand any variation of this 'core' sub-genre.
So here's some folk black metal.

I AM THE TABLE! I would admit that was pretty funny, but seriously though

Spoiler: Rant

I wish Metallica fans would stop hating on this album for no reason. Sure its not that good, but I think the atmosphere in the album is pretty good, I like it. It's like an art rock/post-punk/sludge metal crosssover. It's not even a canon Metallica album, they are going to release the new one soon anyways. There are many people who genuinely hate it(I believe you're one of them), but there are also many haters just hate on it and Lou Reed because they are metalheads, I constantly see words like "brutal" in the comments. It sucks as a Metallica album, but it's a half-decent art rock album in my opinion, I don't like the album, but Lou Reed is in no way untalented or worse than Justin Bieber.

And back on topic.

I'm more of a prog and alt rock guy, but I also love metal, since it's basically what I listened to in the past.

I'm not into the whole underground thing and most of the metal music I like are pretty mainstream(or at least for their respective sub-genres), and some Post-Metal.

One of my favourite bands of all time is obviously Dream Theater(though they are more prog than they are metal... at least for the majority of their good material).And there are other bands like Opeth(I love Akerfeldt), Nevermore, Meshuggah, Metallica and Megadeth and one of my all time favourite: Iron Maiden. Oh and obviously, Dawn of the Hero! Used to be into Black Sabbath, Ozzy and BLS, but they don't really appeal to me anymore.

And of course, I love guitar wanking, so I love Neo-Classical Metal and mainly just guitar shredders. Not Yngwie of course, he never grew on me, more of John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine etc.

Some really good metal I would recommend to others:

Spoiler

Opeth!(though I'm sure most of the metalheads would have heard of them already):

And for Post-Metal, Animals As Leaders:
[yt]fYF-C9KDv74[/yt]

and for guitar shredding, Paul GIlbert(would have used John Petrucci, but his solo stuff are more prog than metal too) :

I'm going to request a title change to include rock. Since I would love to talk some AC/DC, Guns N' Roses etc.

Edit: Unless you guys just want Metal?

Edit Edit: Ok officially we can now talk about Metal and Rock

Just gonna say Loutallica is pretty bad. It sounds like Lou Reed got drunk, stole a bunch of crappy Metallica instrumental demos, then drunkenly sung along to them. I'm not a diehard Metallica fan but I definitely enjoy them.

Sorry for shit quality, the VEVO one is censored.

But great band, except their new album is utter shit. Just emo shit. This one (Light From Above) is amazing. My friend introduced me to them, they're like 16 year old kids but they made an amazing album.

never really liked ac/dc.. guns n roses are pretty rad though...
In my opinion the album that just rocks for the sake of rocking is probally "songs for the deaf by queens of the stoneage".. I could listen to that a million times over
also the first velvet revolver album was a good rock album (disregard the second album at all costs)

also check this out its pretty cool

Have you guys heard of Powerglove?

 

[matt1freek]

hell yeah powerglove is good. though the neskimos and minibosses are better in my opinion.

Extreme Metalcore

Anterior - This Age of Silence.

[yt]brAFHMVYduk[/yt]

This is one of a few Metalcore albums wich I love every single track from

 

[MFDC12]

So Sabbath to Screamo etc.

screamo is not an offshoot of metal, it is an offshoot of punk/hardcore

anyways, I have been listening to these guys a lot lately

[Lube_Skyballer]

BTBAM? PTH? SOAD? ABR? ADTR?
Anyone with me?

 

[PolloDiablo]

I fucking love Iced fucking Earth

 

[MFDC12]

[yt]0YTZ-GOBjiI[/yt]

this is still one of the only metalcore albums I can listen to these days (that doesn't sound like a cut'n'paste from another band, at least [a lot of metalcore sounds the same to me])
