A lot of bands that are considered metal aren't as "noisy" as the band in the original post. I listen to a lot of metal operas that can be called many things (ridiculously nerdy, hilarious, silly, etc.) but they cannot be called "noisy" (like Ayreon, Star One, Avantasia (although I'm not as huge a fan of them), etc.). I also admit I like a lot of heavier bands and even a little bit of death metal, so I'm not trying to act as though I'm "above" anyone in this thread. Just trying to say that not all metal is unenjoyable noise.

See with alot of metal, I can see and respect the skill of the musicians in the band and am like "wow they have really good finger dexterity", or "man thats impressive". But as far as choosing to listen to it for enjoyment... I would never do that. And thats what I'm wondering (and you pretty much answered) like when people link these metal songs, do they actually enjoy the music or just think the music is skillful? Because to me those are 2 completely different things and I think that is the same for everyone?
Probably the most metal band I like is Primus or just Les Claypool in general. But even with them, its almost something I wouldn't listen to on my own for enjoyment, but I would link to other people and be like check out this bad ass song.
