Metal Music

[Surenas]

In the musical wake of the early Alice Cooper and the Hard Rock band Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath are considered the godfathers of metal.

 

According to this it must have been one of the tracks of the album Black Sabbath from 1969, probably already heard while still in my mother's womb 1986/7 :woot:

System of a Down... I always loved them. I think I heard them on a demo compilation, and I remember thinking "Wow... not the typical, annoying teen-scream voice that plagues the metal scene nowadays." Think "linkin park" and you'll know what I'm talking about....

 

Does anyone remember the first metal song they heard?

 

Nightwish-Master Passion Greed

 

Yeah, my ex was into Nightwish, but they were not my kind of music. And this isn't an attack on you, Raith, but most Nightwish fans I meet usually say something like "Tarya" to me... Like I'm just supposed to KNOW what that means? Maybe people where I live are just weird.

My dad is one of those "Vintage Rock" people from that era... he still, maintains that everyone else stole Rock from Hendrix.

Im very much a "nasty" metal head. Not that that means Im a metal head who is nasty, or have a nasty, metal, head, but that I preffer "nasty" metal music, the proper loud stuff. Ironicaly, I tend to think best when Im entirely in my own space, and blasting away the rest of the world's audio stimulii with death metal is one such way to achieve that.

 

Its strange, most people who arent into metal that I've met think that deathmetal fans who sit at home with it blasting at them on max volume probably arent that smart, and just like the sound of banging, clanging and screaming. Its not like that at all, i usualy listen to this sort of music while writing. A former freind of mine from america, writes, with each particular short story being inspired directly by the music he is listening to.

 

Usualy the louder the music, the less I get distracted by the constant noise of conservative suburbia, which is a lot more distracting then music is, it often surprises people that I concentrate better the more I have around me to concentrate on.

 

And as for bieber and gaga, they'll be gone in a year. The fans will find someone younger to replace bieber, the fans will find a more exhibitionist woman to replace gaga, its how the industry works. They're the fetish of the month for the "trendy" set, and they'll be evicerated by the experience and cast aside in shreds. Bieber will get too old first, and Gaga will probably suicide or be replaced by a woman who wears even less. Metal however, like it's namesake, takes a lot of rusting and time to fully disapear, t will survive my lifetime Im sure.

 

Kudos to you :) It's funny, people ask me what music I listen to...and I smile and say "death metal" and they like :blink: I don't "look" like a metalhead...but you don't have to dress to show what you like. I always get "why do you like that?" and I just simply say, "because I like it...I just like the way it sounds. Powerful, passionate, and I just love the guitar." But people say the same thing about their music, it's all a matter of opinion...most people I know call it noise lol and won't even give it a listen....

 

I listen to it while I'm trying to figure out my story for my PC, cleaning, crocheting...just helps it along :)

 

I said in the music thread I listen to about anything except pop, rap, and country (I've tried...can't do it...urgh!). I just hate that crap lol. But I love classic rock, classical, instrumental, folk, etc. I'll listen to about anything, at least I'll give it a try...but I prefer death metal...heh listening to Amon Amarth now :D

 

Ugh, don't get me started on Beiber or Gaga...but yeah...they'll be gone within the year...hopefully. I'm really sick of seeing her everywhere...she's creepy, only reason she gets attention is cos she dresses like a freak and her videos are very sexual, :yucky: and her music is so generic...but that's about everything you hear on the radio. All the rock bands sound the same these days...the lyrics all go on the same theme. Music for the masses I suppose...I dunno, I don't even listen to the radio anymore...normally got talk radio on in the car now.

 

I get mad...my dad makes fun of me for listening to Kalmah (calls it de-evolution music) and the like, but gets pissed off at me when I say Lady Gaga is a freak and her music is lame just because his 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER loves her....ugh...I feel sick. :sick: Sorry, a 3 year old shouldn't be able to see those videos...but he's the parent. He really should think twice about what he lets her see on T.V....I saw WAY too much.....

I get the :"you don't look like a metalhead!" comment a lot. It's even more fun to tell them that death metal is my first love after I've shown them how to interpret a blueprint, or show them how to fix a problem they are having with their computer. We agree on music a lot Iliad. I too like a lot of varieties of music but can't handle country or pop music, although I can tolerate some rap. Alternative is on the heels of metal for my tastes, and I'll gladly listen to something like the Eel's "Novocaine for the soul" after jamming Exhumed's "Dinnertime in the morgue".

 

I love the deep deathgrowl style of vocalization over high-pitched squeals. Some bands (like Embalmer and Viral Load) mix the two up, but I always prefer the Chuck Schuldiner style (R.I.P. Chuck). The intensity, speed, and power of really heavy metal is why I love it so. Sometimes the bands really go over the top with the lyrics but then bands like Anata and Emperor show up and reveal the depth that metal can achieve.

 

Lady Gaga bugs me mostly because she comes off as a less-talented copy of Madonna, who did all this risque stuff in the 80s and 90s. Since I was in control of the QC lab radio before I got laid-off, we listened to FM 102.1 alternative when my boss was in, but I attached my Ipod and jammed some really heavy metal when she wasn't.

Makes me very happy to hear that, that does! =D I can give you a whole list of their best songs if you want... Haha. I like to consider myself a Nightwish missionary, spreading the Word to all I can.

Ah, yeah. See, Tarja (pronounced TarYa, they're Finnish) was the original lead singer, and then there was a huge falling-out where she got fired a few years ago and replaced, and even though it's been 3 years since her replacement was announced, there are a lot of people that don't like the new singer and can't get over it. Go to any Nightwish video and you'll see some Anette vs. Tarja BS. Anyway, it was a really big deal 'cause Nightwish is pretty popular, especially in Europe, and ESPECIALLY in their native Finland, which is like, the metal capital of the world, so...

God I love Black Sabbath. Probably the greatest metal band ever formed. Too bad ozzy was such a LSD head and they booted him. But he's still doing well in his own band. They've devoted scientific research into figuring out how he's still alive after all the drugs and injuries he's sustained in his life. Then their next lead singer, Dio, died. I wonder if they're gonna do anything else?
