Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
I don't see how Korn, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine aren't metal. Especially the first two; Nu-Metal, believe it or not, is a subgenre of metal, and Tool is like the best Isis cover band ever. I don't think that NIN and Soundgarden play metal, but I like NIN's first two albums quite a bit regardless.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Well see to me the only thing metal about nu-metal, is the word metal...
I equate it to something like the hair metal movement in the late 80's.
And rock bands with metal element really blur the line.
But that is just my opinion.
Also liking a band does not make them metal, as I said, I do like some of the bands I listed before, and I have been a great fans of NIN's earlier material.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
I don' t think anyone int his thread would be reffering to Korn or SLipknot as metal because they liked them . I don't think I would require hands to count the number of positive things said about either of the two bands in these threads. That said both have undeniably metal elements in the majority of their music, primarily in the drums and in the guitars. But yeah NIN while good =/= metal, agreed.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Hey, I love Slipknot. In fact, I have a massive poster of them on my wall. Right next to my Alexi Laiho, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath posters.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
to prove there is no such thing as a "first" metal band, go listen to this
1968, undoubtably metal. made by the greatest pop band of all time.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Geez, I take a break for a little while and y'all get to fussin' and squabblin' about something for which there is no answer -- what is metal? You might as well ask us acolytes of metal to venture forth into the wasteland seeking an answer to the riddle of steel...only to find the answer was pulsing in our veins the entire time.
No, this demonstrates that the Grammys and legitimate metal are like oil and water.

Its not the bands per se, but when I listen to Fairyland or Virgin Steele in my car, I like to pretend that I'm the vocalist on stage, and make crazy sweeping hand gestures as I sing the lyrics as loud as I possibly canDecoy Lockbox, you win the internet metal award. You are a metal god.

Did I mention Dragonforce is a guilty pleasure? cuz they probably are. Not a big one, but it exists.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
I think it's really hard do define metal without being influenced by personal preferences. It's a really big genre (doom, death, black, power, heavy etc) so it's impossible to compare it to anything. In my opinion, metal's beauty as a genre is because of the fact that every person that listens to it can identify with it. I personally don't consider Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park (nu-metal in general for that matter) because I don't indentify it with what I think metal is.
This is not metal -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRGrNDV2mKc
This is METAL -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-49noOAFsG8
I want to hear riffs, insane guitar solos, great voices etc. Screaming and randomly hitting a cord is not metal.
Oh and here's a great band I enjoy listening too very often.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
My friend once said Metal is really a super genre, saying how bands like ManoWar and Amon Amarth, while both metal, aren't really... very similar. There are common threads, but not enough to say "same genre" and didn't feel like saying subgenre was enough of a difference.
Also Bloodlover, I approve of that Saxon song. Need to listen to them more.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Huh, I found a Swedish... heavy metal/power metal band it says it is, called Narnia.
They aren't bad, here's a sample.
Not too shabby. Not the best, but fairly respectable.Rational Goblin Avatar by C-Lam. Thanks!

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
See, this is a perfect example. I could care less about riffs, and I loathe people who talk about bands while using terms like 'riffage.' Solos can be okay, but I don't like them in and of themselves. I like vocals of nearly every sort. We obviously have nearly opposite opinions on metal. I really don't see how that Saxon song is any more metal than Korn, but I think that they're both in the same supergenre. For that matter, I don't like either of them.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Hey, would any of you folk have any reccomendations for which Rhapsody of Fire album to start with if attempting to get into them? I was looking at their discography and it's a little daunting, so advice would be appreciated.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Tales from the Emerald Sworg Saga, is a decent best of compilation.
If not, I found Legendary Tales to be quite decent, also Power of the DragonFlame.
They would be the standouts for me.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
If you give a damn about the story, obviously, start with the beginning. If not (which I suggest), my personal favorites are Dawn of Victory and Power of the Dragonflame

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Never heard of Doro ???? Are you kidding me? She's been singing since 1984 and she still rocks. In the long run she outlasted Lita Ford, Girlschool, Vixen and other 80's chick bands. Check out her song with UDO

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
My personal favorites are "Symphony of Enchanted Lands" and "Dawn of Victory"...they are just jam-packed with power metal awesomeness.
My personal queen of metal would have to be the lead guitarist/vocalist for Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult.

Re: Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith
Neither Janet Jackson or Flyleaf are even remotely metal.
And just for the sake of being contrary and sludge metal-y, and on the topic of females in metal, there's Lori S., the guitarist and singer in Acid King, and Liz Buckingham, the guitarist in Electric Wizard.Avatar by Kris on a Stick
