Manowar and Kreator are better than the crap you listen to.

Extreme was the band that got me into metal. Most people dog them for being just another hair band of the 80s, or for not really being METAL in the classic sense of the word, but they were so much more than what people dismissed them as to me. They have such a cool style, and their songs like "kid ego", "pornograffitti", "it's a monster", "he-man woman hater" etc... Are pure rock/metal songs that have very funky and flashy style. That made me want to learn how to play guitar. I just listen to the metal that is in vogue today and I just can't really get into it. It's just too obnoxious for me. Just a chugalug fest. There doesn't seem to be much melody and dynamic to most of it. I guess thats why I'm kind of partial to bands like Extreme, and Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and other true hard rock/metal bands who actually give the genre other dimensions beyond just the drop C, power chord slammin, growlin, snarlin genre people make it into today. That's just my take on metal. Even though it has nothing to do with the forum. Lol

Please Satan, have mercy on this nonbeliever. He knows not what he says.

Literally ever since I was born I've been exposed to metal. It was essentially all that was ever played in my family's car. The first band I ever really liked was Korn, and still today, they're my favorite band. After I started looking up all their stuff, I found System of a Down, then Marilyn Manson, then Rammstein, and other bands of the sort.

Oh, and some Evanescence, can remember listening to them when I was like 5 (rock they may be, but they're closely related genres) Still like them.

3/10. To make it seem more serious eliminate the emoticons and put eclipses after your sentences. Use correct grammar and decent vocabulary too.

No

I would of responded the same way if someone said such an obnoxious thing.

I find Manowar lame by the way.

thats why i always mention Manowar IMO in terms of the sound they are a true "Metal" sound good or bad it is what it is now we all know tho there are many different styles of metal
