Yeah they seems to be the classic metal in my own view.
Those are always the bands mentioned.

Yeah, and I notice people hate on Newer Metal, they barely get Nominated to win anything and I say if you actually listen they write some of the best music, sad aint it. -shakes head-

I was crazy about Metallica for a while. I used to love playing all of their songs on my guitar, hahaha. Besides ones like Battery, I find a lot of their songs too slow now.

There are two types of metalheads.
The open-minded ones, and the closed-minded ones.

Newer metal is never really accepted except on
rare occasions that they appeal to most everyone.

Shame..

Yeah, it really is...I wish everyone can see the art in all music...well most. Now, I listen to anything once. and theres lots of music that appeals to me, namely Hard rock, Industrial(well not all bands like NIN), and Metal. Some are scared by my open minded musicness haha. The only music i wont touch or even steal of the net is new Rap, ugh. I can talk about how much I hate that stuff...But this isnt the right place haha

It always seems that most people into metal, are opposed to Rap.

I think I can only withstand one band and thats Gym Class Heroes, I can actually say I like them. but If i have to hear that superman song I think my ears will bleed. Other than that Todays RAP IS CRAP seriously

The pre-commercial Metallica were awesome, but once they went commercial they started sounding average. I guess Metal is one of the few genre that survived time, unlike rock, new metal bands are actually good, some better then does that came before them.

Yeah.... there isn't anything much original...

That's what usually happens.
Bands are almost always better before they get signed and such.

I agree New Metallica has changed quite a bit I enjoy there older music wayy more.
