Mr. Ambien Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You know very little about Gothic metal if those are your best examples. and how is Machine Head and Judas Priest even metioned together. Because opinions are subjective, and those aren't my "best examples", those are examples from my playlist. I looked at your Gothic metal video list you posted and they sound more like nu-metal or black metal garbage than gothic metal. Nasty stuff.

Slaytanic Wehrmacht Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Much rather listen to that "black garbage" as you oh so eloquently put it than half of the crapola you listed as the bands you listen to and didn't even get half the genres right on. No one that I have ever met would classify Shagrath and Dimmu Borgir anything other than black metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbro Baggins Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Metal band Baroness was in a very serious bus crash today. 2 people were seriously injured, although it is yet unclear if they were members of the band. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-19267414 Two people on a tour bus used by the US band Baroness were badly injured when the vehicle fell 30ft (10m) from a viaduct near Bath. Emergency services were called to Brassknocker Hill, in Monkton Combe, on the B3108 at its junction with the A36 Warminster Road at 11:30 BST. Two of those on board suffered multiple fractures and had to be freed by firefighters. Seven had minor injuries. All remaining dates of the band's European tour have been cancelled. The group played at The Fleece in Bristol on Tuesday evening and had been due to appear in Southampton later. A spokesman for the Southampton gig promoter said: "It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Baroness were involved in a very serious road accident earlier today and will not be able to perform at Talking Heads tonight. "Our thoughts are with the band at this time and we wish them and their crew a speedy recovery." Tim Bailey, from The Fleece in Bristol, said: "It's awful for anybody but just knowing the band from last night and all the crew and how lovely everyone was - it was a real shock and we just really hope they're OK." Let's hope they all recover swiftly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more responding to how condescending your tone was. Nonetheless, I've seen Type O live, was a pretty good show. IIRC they were with Kamelot and I think Edguy.

Depeche Mode and Type O are a continuation of it, but far from the pioneers of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say Type O negative didn't change gothic music less then joy division. Anyway who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I voted good ol' fashioned metal but my tastes are broad, I guess. Black Sabbath Anvil (Canadian metal!) Annihilator (more Canadian metal!!) Judas Priest Pentagram Saint Vitus Rainbow Dio Uriah Heep (The 2nd heaviest band in the 70's in my opinion) Sleep White Zombie Rage Against the Machine (can't top Morello for weird ass solos) Iron Maiden Diamond Head Saxon Motörhead Anthrax Solo Ozzy (specifically his stuff with Randy Rhoads (Rhoads the only reason I started playing guitar in the first place)) Turisas The Sword (I love their first album so much) King Diamond (Them is awesome!

McBackup Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I really don't like bands with growling/screaming vocals. It's alright if used appropriately and sparingly, but I don't like the whole song being like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm with ya Gumball, I pretty much like 'em all (except for most death metal bands) but these are a few of my favourites: Pantera Gwar Slayer Fear Factory RATM Alice In Chains Butthole Surfers (pretty much covers every genre in music) Godsmack Coal Chamber Corrosion of Conformity Deftones Sepultura/Soulfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Looked for more Djent bands. Not many are beyond the guitar-alone stage. Where are all the frontmen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Metalheads unite! Well I'm late to this thread, but it's nice to see other metal fans on the boards. I like pretty much most of the genres in the wide spectrum of metal, from progressive/ tech stuff like Dream Theater and Protest the Hero to extreme bands (death, thrash, black, etc) such as Behemoth, Septic Flesh, Kreator, to power metal acts like Edguy or Stratovarius. I also like symphonic, progressive (my favorite genre), traditional metal heavy metal, and tons of others. If you name a band, odds are I probably have heard of them! Looked for more Djent bands. Not many are beyond the guitar-alone stage. Where are all the frontmen? The Human Abstract play a similar genre. Their last album Digital Veil was spectacular.
