So many bands, they all ruleYeah, that's what I think. I still have to hear a metal band I don't like. :shock:
So many bands, so many CDs, too little money! >_<
Oh, I'm sure I can find a metal band that you don't like, lol. It's such a diverse genre. I like a lot of death metal and some black metal, but some of it is just crap.
Agreed. I went to a GWAR concert 5 or 6 years ago and the opening bands were just the crappiest metal I've ever heard. It was a small venue and GWAR was the only well known band, so I guess it wasn't too surprising.

I'm a metalhead, but I also listen to a whole range of other music. Some bands are crap, but thankfully I have a high tolerance level for crappyness.
On a slightly un-related note: Have you noticed that most anime-watchers listen to metal/harder rock? Most of my anime-watching friends are...

Yeah, I wonder if it has anything to do with people trying to subconsciously counter an image(self or otherwise) of being nerdy. That seems to be the case with a number of the more stereotypical anime nerd types that I've known, but of course theres no evidence I'm aware of for it to be obviously applied on any large scale.
Personally I got into metal as a result of 2 main events. When I was around 8 or so my brothers were into GWAR and I just heard them a lot, first band I really liked actually although now I rarely listen to them and when I do it's mainly for the nostalgic factor it holds. Later, while napster was about to go down, I just looked up a number of bands I'd heard of to sample them. I liked a number of cheesey 80's metal bands(black sabbath, hdio, etc) and looked up Iron Maiden and found myself to be an instant fan. Never could get into a lot of the popular rock stuff though like metalica, linkin parks, nin, etc(friends loved that stuff, I just couldn't see the appeal)
Ofcourse metal isn't all I listen to. I also like a lot of classical, surf is great, had a brief techno phase in 6th grade that breifly resurfaced now and then back in highschool, cheesy 80's new wave is fun sometimes as is a wide variety, was big into punk like sex pistols and dead kennedys in middle/highschool, even enjoy country if you count bands like the Supersuckers(which are sort of a punk rock/country mix).
Normally when I'm listening to music its iron maiden about 20% of the time, other 80's metal %20, classical 20%, anime/game soundtracks 10%, surf 10%, somethin else 20%.

I must say, I really dislike punk rock or hardcore in most of its forms. I can listen to classic rock but even old school punk never did anything for me. I do enjoy anything instrumental and also classical and blues.

Me and a group of friend got together because of one passion: music. There was only two of us that liked metal, and the other tree were into classical. And now, I love metal bands that incorporate classical notion (Rhapsody of Fire, Cradle of Filth, Iced Earth) and two of my "classic friends" now listen to some rock or stuff like that, tough they aren't really into metal. And guess an other point we all share? We all like anime/manga.
What I think? These kind of music (be it classical or metal) open our minds to what is around ourself and isn't limiting our culture. Same for the anime/manga experience. So this is why I think both music and manga/ anime are related.
(I know, it's a kind of sketchy theory, but I'm just so tired that my mind keeps up running, and to me, it makes sens)

I don't want to sub-consciously dispel notions that I'm a nerd! I like being a nerd, as that's who I am (not that I like stereotypes at all). But I can see how it would probably apply, and is most likely the case for younger audiences who are effected by their peers significantly, and fear being ostracized.
I was raised on metal, as my parents were both of the same musical disposition (not that I even know where me father lives now X_x), so that's probably my main influence. Popular music has never been my thing as well, possibly just because it's popular and mindless (not that I'm saying metal has any point all the time ;P).
I couldn't ratio my music, as my tastes are so vaired, almost every genre has a very low ranking, and nothing stands out hugely. When I'm playing games I tend to stick to either Metal, Daft Punk (over the past few months) or random ass j-pop.

What happened to the classics? Randy Rhoads was a guitar god. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica - that's where it's at. I can't get into all this death metal stuff(Though I do find Metalocalypse on AS hilarious). I just can't listen to bands like Dimmu Borgir, they make my ears hurt.man i couldnt agree with you more. Ozzy Ozbourne is just the coolest freakin old man in the world. Too bad his wifes a piece of crap.
If you're into Maiden you should check out Queensryche, theyre freakin awesome too. Metal is really just a great form of music where people still had talent and everything wasn't just left up to high profile producers and etc.

Hell yeah! I'm not as enthused about Queensryche as I am about Maiden. They are still ok though. I find that Iron Maiden has a good singer combined with composition techniques and perspectives that have matured as the band aged. That, and they were always able to rip off a kick ass galloping bass line.

yea i dont know about recently though.. i never like the new guy after adrian left. like he just doesnt stand up next to adrian and i remember watching a video where the guy ruined a solo.
funny how alot of the best metal bands are from a past era, like bruce cant sing as well as he used to (hes still great tho) and the never bands are starting to write their music simply so itll sell..

Adrian is back with the group now and has been as of "Brave New World."
The albums from the time when Adrian was gone include some of Iron Maiden's least exciting albums, though I think it was more because of they were still in the process of their compositional journey. Losing Dickinson for a bit, though, did really hurt.
While Dickinson's voice is a little worn down, I think the compositional skills of the band have never been better. "Brave New World", "Dance of Death" and "A Matter of Life and Death" are all awesome albums, in fact they are overall my favorite Maiden albums. There are a lot of great songs from the earlier albums too, and the later songs aren't as violent and tumultuous, but I think that the band's ability to employ contrasts, colors, and smooth out complicated times and rhythms has added a lot to the music.
