For fans of heavy metal [Lot of Youtube links]

I used to be really into metal but I just don't understand how people 30+ can get into cookie monster shit. When you are young the novelty of the "heaviness" of shit like Mortician is ok but I would imagine most people grow out of that right?

It does, but bands like Cattle Decapitation worked to refine their sound and got away from strictly grind. It's more the band maturing and realizing how to work within the medium, or do what Opeth did and go total prog rock, Emerson Lake and Palmer style, from Death Metal. Age does play into it no doubt.

You see this type of thinking often, especially with people who used to enjoy metal and hip-hop. It was a phase for you and you enjoyed the novelty of it. It's not a phase for others and they enjoy it for the artistic merit. That's why you no longer like it and others do. It's that simple.

I like a lot of different types of music. I branch out listen to other music but I don't stop enjoying what I like.

DEATH/DOOM METAL

Lazy/silly name but accurate. It's a subgenre of doom metal. Although some people do, I don't consider bands like Asphyx or Autopsy to be part of this style. They have doomy passages but they're death metal bands.

The music creates the doom atmosphere but much darker. Death metal inspired vocals and drumming mostly and on more than occasion death metal riffing.

Celtic Frost is a very important influence.

FUNERAL DOOM METAL

Grew out of death/doom metal. Puts more emphasis on the depressive aspect of doom and is typically very slow. Where death/doom ends and funeral begins is a vague line.

I just know music and can speak about it. From early keyboard and guitar lessons, music theory, being in a band, playing a lot of live solo, composing music, helping a band start up, friends that started bands and helping with their set-ups, running boards, been around it for decades. All this from the 70's to today.

I haven't done any performing for years, but I usually have my les paul guitar plugged in most every evening, or one of my midi keyboards plugged into my studio software and vst's. Just bought a new pedal (another multi) and a few sets of fresh pure nickle strings last month.

I even listened to punk in the 70's (and other stuff), wasn't a fan of metal when it came around. Liked some songs though. Cowpunk has prolly been my fav over the years of punk.

And I still listen to some punk, but not regular of any new bands. More classic stuff from my old cd's like social distortion, X or ramones sort of stuff. A little more style than stripped down, not as hard, but far from metal. I study that though too, can play some Metallica, some black sabbath etc. More into playing really odd stuff though now, making/programming new sounds, sort of ambient swells, other spacy stuff sort of chill like. Other stuff, drones, blues, smooth jazz, odd time signatures, cover a lot.

As far as punk style, fusion says "aint punk rock". It's just done for commercialism. Really, people into metal didn't hang with people into punk, fights broke out. A lot of new stuff today is about $$

Why are you bragging? People like what they like. Another essay doesn't build credence or authority.

Both of you are correct. It's okay.

Bragging? You have definition problems, probably a result of your left leanings and constant fail trollings. If I were bragging, I'd be talking how wonderful of an artist I am, rather than just my involvement for my POV which is just stating a fact. Maybe you're the one that should be putting in your audition for NPR.

Lol, you are.

People like what they like. You're both right, it's okay.

You know you're arguing over metal. This place is truly nerdy.

Of course. Metal fans are passionate about their music. How passionate can you be for today's sanitized electronic crap?

Here are people excited being at a metal concert: Sargent D and the S.O.D.
