No way I'd classify Zep or Purple as metal, heavy/hard rock, but never metal, I'd classify Sabbath as the same, though they did get closer to metal.

If the guitar and drums are at the center of the music, chances are I will like it. [thumbup]

+1000

I love any guitar music but I grew up on hard rock, metal and then thrash (Deep Purple, Led Zep, Rainbow, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Dio, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Ozzy Osbourne, WASP, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax.....)

Then came grunge and Brit pop which killed it all off.

I don't listen to all the new genres but I'm glad metal lives on for the kids of today.

If you read youtube comments you'll see that those kids really like all the old school metal and thrash. Now that is cool!

Here's a band I listen to a lot, I think they're considered "Groovecore":

I used to that low tunings and 8 strings, as well as screaming sounded horrible, but I find that nowadays, these guys and Children of Bodom get A LOT of playtime.

Then came grunge and Brit pop which killed it all off.

IMO, no music ever really gets killed off...

The fan bases remain, & often grow over time...

As an example, I think Hendrix has a lot more fans now than he did 'back in the day'... & I can't help but think that quite a lot of those are people that probably didn't really 'enjoy' his music originally... Watch the crowd in 'Woodstock'... Drugs & outright exhaustion aside, loads of people were clearly not getting off on that, now legendary, set...

I was totally immersed in Brit Pop in the UK as it was happening, & still love it... Grunge took me longer to get into, but now I love it too... Often it has to do with the circumstances that bring you to the music that create the lasting endearment for it...

Another example, Brit Pop band Dodgy's "Good Enough" (if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me) became the renovation theme song for our apartment in the UK, so generates a lot of fond memories for me...

Metal was, is & always will be... & I am grateful for that fact...

Just my 2 cents worth.

How very true Stuart.
Everyone has their own reasons for liking whatever genre.
Experiences determine our emotional reactions to certain forms of music.
It's all about feelings, and music is a powerful, emotional, initiator of feelings
and memories.

Thanks Stu.
That track just sent me on a trip back in time to high school, 1978.

Some of us would play our hearts out to the kids on the school oval during the Spring and Summer months.

We had a music room with heaps of bi-folding doors we could open fully, facing the oval. The principle used to ask us to give the kids some entertainment during lunch.
We were always happy to oblige. Such great memories of the 70's mate. [biggrin]

Ahh, to be young again. :rolleyes:

Thanks
Paul

To those who say metal is pretentious: I find a lot of blues players to be just as guilty of pure musical masturbation as metal guys (I'm looking at you Joe Bonamassa...) Sure there's a lot of crappy material in metal, just like any other genre, but you should never dismiss any genre because you don't like one artist.

And now I give you the scariest band of the past decade: Ghost...

That's it in a nutshell!
Rap!!! BLARRGGHHH!!!! Where's the tone in that?

I'd rather listen to Sabbath, Maiden, J.Priest, D.Lepard or Zep etc..

To get a better overview of the different sub-genres, I would recommend Map of Metal. It's a great site, which shows how the genres are related, and each genre has a description and sound samples.

I have to agree with that. I don't love most metal either because of the long drawn out guitar solos. It's a real snooze fest in my opinion. This is why I like punk, hardcore and other similar generes(except generic sounding metalcore, blech), there's no extra 'stuff' stuck in the songs. It's just go go go and you're done.

1.07 of awesome.
