My girlfriend, who used to like rock and grunge, discovered the 70's hardrock and then the metal. Though I like hardrock (especially Led Zep and AC/DC), I can't stand metal. I think it's a kind of f***ing useless noise.

What about you? Anybody likes? dislikes? hates? wants the metal not to have ever exist?

Sorry for my english ; I'm a french little boy (but I like it)

i just like black sabbath and just a few metallica or judas priest songs for the "metal" terms , other stuff is a shit for me.
anyway , i think the most of you like sabbath , dont you?

I don't enjoy metal. And especially, I hate this metal with opera-like vocals and "lofty" guitars, and all this mystic things.

Eg, Rainbow.
But on the other hand, I can listen to Iron Maiden sometimes and I don't feel bad about it.

depends on what kind of metal. There are so many; gothic, death metal, trash metal,...
Sabbath, Motorhead are just hard rock, close to rock style.
Metallica made up the heavy metal. Such a major band for music.
Some others not so famous are excellent : Katatonia (LAST FAIR DEAL GONE DOWN), Machine Head (the blackening)
I just discovered this band : Paradise Lost. Their cd Draconian Times is a must. Not so heavy and if you like R&R you will appreciate it for sure.

God listens to Slayer.

I can take it only in small doses.

HEAVY FOOKIN METALLLLL!!!!!!!

LUV IT

Hard rock & heavy rock, Purple* -Sabbath-Zapp'lin-Lizzy-school from
various periods 1969-1976 (* plus mid-80s & early 90s) circa, is my cup of tea...
Performed mainly in Hungary also circa 1974-1985 (and now again).

it's a genre, that has never had an impact on me.

The heavier stuff, where you just cannot understand the singing whatever you try, we use to describe as "stick your head in the toilet and pretend you're getting slaughtered". This 'genre' of singing has also got a more sofisticated name but I cannot remember it at the moment.

I feel bad about it because I usually think: each to his own, but when I hear that kind of noise I cannot help but laugh...

I do usually enjoy the 'salonmetal': established names that found there way to a broader public. Sabbath, Metallica. (I must have insulted someone here but I just mean the more melodic music with understandable vocals and rythm.)

Luckily rust never sleeps.

I don't listen to Metal.I'm not interested.

Love some of those Slayer ballads.....



ROCKMAN

yes Rockman Reign in blood

YEAH!!!!....Love that one when I'm having breakfast!!!!!

Older stuff like Black Sabbath is very good. Newer mainstream stuff like Metallica, Slipknot is not my cup of tea. There's some good scandinavian metal, black metal mostly. Dissection is my favorite. But it's all pretty boring to me. A lot of noise but rarely any innovative stuff.

Corrosion Of Conformity....



ROCKMAN

I'm not a metal fan at all.

What I dislike most is probably the guitar sound on these records. Far too distorted

Motörhead is a bordeline case here.

Metal has some wonderful musicians... with questionable taste ;^).
Much of it rocks... but it just doesn't swing.

That said, there are numerous sub-genres within Metal these days and I don't think it's fair to paint it all the same colour.

depends on the type of metal.

Sabbath, Priest, Metallica I like, but am a HUGE fan of the glam metal of the 80's as that was when I was growing up.

Some groups: early MetallicA, Black Sabbath, some records of Iron Maiden... is Dream Theater metal??

One of my favourites. If you think you like metal you may dislike it by watching that. Or not. Must say I like it more without picture though.

There are a few metal bands I liked from the 70s-80s:

Raven
Riot
Fist
Tank
Split Beaver
1st 3 Sabbath albums

Its great.Love Motorhead,the ultimate metal band,Still kicking ass...clears your head 4 sure.

ACDC, Queens of the Stoneage, Foo Fighters, YES. Most other stuff, NO!

I have to be in the mood .

I saw him once.... intense metal show !!!! and I liked it...
