Metal Heads Assemble!!

[noiseredux]

Korn and Deftones I like for different reasons.

Disturbed sucks.

Sorry Apple.

Disturbed is one of those bands that I gained new respect for after seeing live. They were incredible and sounded even better than their studio recordings. Draiman is a hell of a frontman and was able to get the entire crowd up and pumping their fists with ease, including myself, not even really being that much of a fan of their music. You won't see me cruising down the road blasting their albums, but I definitely recognize them as talented musicians.

man, fuck that, that's a stupid cop-out argument. fucking yanni and kenny g are "talented musicians."

i know ultimately it boils down to personal preference, but just because someone can actually play their instrument competently doesn't give them a free pass.

[brunoafh]

Hitting a 60 minute set of intense music out of the park and not missing a single beat in front of a crowd in the thousands is far more than "playing your instrument competently".

I'm not really sure what it is you are getting at though. I wasn't giving anyone a pass, I was just saying that after I saw them live I opened up to their music more because they were impressive.

At the same show, I lost a lot of respect for Dragonforce, who sounded horrific. It seriously sounded like Totman and Li were hitting the strings with bricks or something.

so is defending the deftones only making people not interested in beat the doll?

helmet and tool i agree are alternative metal, tho tool is kind of progressive and beyond helmet or deftones.. and i thought everyone agreed a long time ago that korn is basically the definition of nu-metal..

faith no more, i don't know what to call them, they're awesome, and they're quirky

sorry i was so late to all this, it's a lot of pages to read

[BoneSnapDeez]

Nu = a stupid buzzword, but not a genre that actually exists as far as I can tell.

Eh... Nu metal is a genre though. It's like alternative/pop-rock with some thrash, groove metal, and hip-hop influences.

Anyway, anyone been listening to metal?

Disturbed is a great band. They're a unique metal band. I don't see anyone else mixing Reggae with Metal. And they do it well.
