there there satch, its okay noone laughed at your joke...

Children of Bodom are classical/death

Power metal is reserved for a guitar style. has nothing to do with the vocals or song structure

Bodom has death influences in arrangement and classicaly influenced guitar. with Black vocals.


Black metal is inverted power chords, super high pitched screams/talking in finnish, and overtly satanic imagery

death metal is technical guitar with guttural vocals (a few exceptions notably Death and Among the Slain) and an emphasis on gore lyrics

all of you need to learn youre ****ing history

Electric Oceans was closest. and Music Is Pwnge just sucks.

I like Classic, Heavy, or Thrash metal, like Maiden and Metallica.
What exactly is Nu-metal, and also how can you differentiate between Black/Death/Doom/Goth music? what would bands like Slayer and Pantera be classed as?

nu metal is angsty.

black is what i said before, same with death.

Doom is very sludgy often played very slow with a doomy feel to it.

goth is ***. i won't elaborate


Slayer is Thrash metal and Pantera...eh southern rock influenced Thrash

:band: yea slayer, anthrax, pantera, some metallica. basically thrash...

that is some good bands you got goin down there

it makes sense that thrash was influenced by southern rock cause i like lynard skynard, ZZ top and stuff like that too.... I like GOOD music, lol the rest is crap. oh forgot to mention Megadeath..

How does it make sense that thrash was influenced by southern rock?

ok, im not sure either, but i was just listening to lynard skynard, then slayer .... and i noticed thrash is just southern rock played really fast and harder.....try it and youll see.

no no it is southern rock tinge Thrash. southern rock might have influenced Thrash but i don't know.

I love it all damn it
why cant we pick more than one!lol

they cant be compared

Death, black, nu, heavy metal and many other:p

i love nearly all of them, just love rock music

^ name one Black, Death, Doom, Power, and Viking metal band and i'll believe you.

she did say nearly....not all...

i know, but nearly all to me means all but one or two. not 5. that would be most.

melodic like children of bodom.

gotta love the nails.

what the hell is vicking metal?:confused:

Black Metal/Death Metal.

Deicide Rules!

Amon Amarth.

listen. love.

i like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple and they are generally classed as the original heavy metal bands. i dont know what particular type of metal they are,

also, the Who's first album, My Generation is sometimes classified as the first heavy metal/punk album

Nwobhm

so many different types.
thats why metal is amazing cos theres something for eveyone!

apart from those who dont like metal....

What about classic/proto metal?...Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, Uriah Heep, UFO, Rush, Alice Cooper and King Crimson...thats the good stuff. :)

Awww someone break the 3 way tie in the polls for Crying Out Loud!

And no, by breaking the 3 way tie i do not mean making it a 4 way tie :D

yeah, all great bands - i dont know much (anything) about metal other than this sort of stuff

I like how there is 6 votes for Black Metal and yet no one realizes that Cradle of Filth isn't black metal.

Why isn`t there an option for 'Metal' ?

I think it's because 'Metal' is such a genre divided...genre.

True...Same can be said of prog rock, punk rock and alternative rock...They are all broken down into different sub genres, genre classification can be confusing as hell, i like artists from almost every genre weither its prog, punk, metal, alternative or whatever...Genre dosent really matter all that much to me, music is music, i dont care what genre a band is as long as they are good, every genre has their good and bad artists, there is no exception.

No exception until someone creates...Pop Metal...
But thats not possible unless you count Slipknot

Industrial Metal Like Rammstein.

Does Rob Zombie count as industruial? Someone told me that and I was wondering if thats true?

Satanic Death Grind obviously :ar_15s: :mad: :ar_15s:

What ever hapened to the other cat's ie (AOR and glam) the both come under the same wing as metal
