I never said metal scene, I said music in general, you know, rock pop queens and such.

My favorite non-metal bands, as of now, are Animal Collective and Why? And, i've been listening to a lot of Andrew W.K. and The Flaming Lips recently.

Joan Jett and Pat Benatar come immediately to mind.

Imogen Heap
Bat for Lashes
Kate Bush
Bjork
Blue Roses
Blondie

All disagree with you.

Girlschool do it well bad. They're all 'OMG GIRL POWER! ROCCCCKKKKK!'

You never saw the SNL clip that used the Imogen Heap song?

This one.

I'm English, we don't get SNL.
And it sounds like a crappy show anyway.

But still no.

I've never seen the OC so I don't really get the joke (besides the use of the song)... but I laughed :P.

Well that's understanable.

The skit caused a meme on YouTube where Hide and Seek was played over people getting shot. Then WMG started muting the videos, even though they don't own Imogen Heap's music.

Oh, alright then. But on the pop scene everybody are douchebags, not just girls.

But girls when they play on underground musical scenes are not that bad. Once you leave all the crappy commercial and pretentious universe of the pop music, believe me, it gets a lot better.

And Girlschool do not count cause they suck balls.

Where the joke comes from.

Pop music can be good. Madonna's early stuff is brilliant. And Taylor Swift is someone new and talented. You get plenty of shit like Rihanna, but Pop music isn't all bad.

Yo Nev, Imma let you finish, but Beyonce is one of the most talented performers of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Its her video, man! Her video!

I like Jason Mraz. I think he's great. And Mika is like the most awesome person in the world. But as I said before generalization is sometimes needed...
So pop is not all shit. But there is A LOT of shit on the pop scene :P

Am I the only one really pissed off about this?
Granted its from the 80s, but they take the bands SO SERIOUSLY! Am I the only one who can tell that the Morbid Angel guy was being really sarcastic?

All of them except the one on the left.

I thought the guys in bands expressed themselves well (apart from Glen Benton, who's just insane anyway) and the Morbid Angel guy was pretty stupid to say what he did as it was always going to be taken in a way he did not intend.
And there are plenty of nihilistic little twats who listen to Metal and the media love them because it makes the lyrics seem more serious than they are.
It's always angry teens, expressing themselves. It's never people like me who just think the music is appealing and catchy. Cause ultimately that doesn't sell as well as a scandal.

Lita Ford too.

She's in Brtual Legend for a reason.

If I ever saw that bitch reporter, I would snap her fucking neck.

First of all, they're forgetting about other music like rap, that talk about far worse shit than metal. Second, they shouldn't be getting involved in our business, we listen to our music while they listen to ours, and we should respect each other. They shouldn't be accusing us for no reason.

Oh, and to answer your question, I was severely pissed off about that as well, probably more than you if anything.

At the time of that video, rap (especially hardcore and gangsta rap) was an underground affair, and metal was the media's scapegoat.

htomeheB, you are in.
Welcome to Metal Hell.
Welcome to the family.

And I have a question for all the Black Metal fans in here, Have you ever heard The Meads Of Asphodel?
If so, opinions on them?
Thanks in advance.
Peace

My god. I almost had a heart attack. I thought I lost all my music. Stupid external. I need to build a new one.

Slough Feg are the only guys who make power metal that I enjoy :(

Are they really that power metal-ish? Listening to Down Among the Deadmen and Traveller makes me think otherwise. Still an awesome band nonetheless.

I like Emperor's first album.

I have it as well and I do enjoy some of the tracks as well, most especially Into the Infinity of Thoughts.

Am I exempt from this?

I am elitist only because I'm very against nu-metal and metalcore

And melodeath? :P

And fuck, I like NIRVANA. I'm fucking open minded. But ya'll don't know SHIIIIIIIT. SHIIIIIIIIIT.

I have nothing against that.

Shame you didn't ask for non-metal ARTIST as it would have been Nobuo Uematsu hands down. Since it's bands we're talking about, Queen it is.

I love how these reports never pay attention to other genres of metal, most especially power. I'd love to hear what they'd have to say about power metal.

Slough Feg aren't strictly power metal, being a traditional heavy metal with folk influences, but being traditional metal, they do have their power-ish moments.

My favourite non-metal band? I'm a really big Kyuss fan, I don't consider them metal, even if the archives say so. But Jimi Hendrix or Frank Zappa. Speaking of non-metal, I'm currently getting me some JAZZ.

I put them under heavy metal on my Zune.

A lot people just don't understand arts.

I mean, when an horror movie come out... like let's say Texas Chainsaw Massacre or older movies like Silence Of The Lamb...
People understand that it is entertainement and fiction (even if based on true stories). Therefore they do not take it all that seriously because they know it's fiction.
But what about music? Why is it that people don't get the fact that the guys from Cannibal Corpse do not really "rape people with knives" or "fuck dead kid's bodies". And I could have taken another example, like Blood Red Throne. Of course they talk about death and stuff... but if someone was to do a painting involving death related subjects... would it be any different?

I think that music gets all this pressure because it is one of the most commercialised arts in the world. And that it's easy to find music. So people don't try to find the actual "Artistic work" in metal music. They only listen to it with their close-minded attitude... take it all too seriously... and blow dicks...

Just look at your last post concerning the new guy's tastes in music. Even if all he listed was metal, you said that more than half of what he listed was pure shit.

Try Bohren & der Club of Gore, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones. All amazing. If I could only pick three jazz bands to listen to for the rest of my life it would be them. Especially Bohren.

Favorite non-metal band?

Hawkwind
