Battle of the Genres! (Metal thread)

[Venom]

Which Metal Genre do you think is Better?

Glam or Thrash?

I couldnt Decide:cry:

[Shoden]

Thrash all the way!

[Venom]

Awww Hell, I'll vote the opposite of whatever Bladen is doing.

[Shoden]

You always would, Venom lol.
Come on you choose your Glam over your Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth?

[Venom]

You always would, Venom I cried aloud with mirth and merriment.
Come on you choose your Glam over your Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth?

Did you not forget W.A.S.P. is glam?

[Shoden]

Ya, but W.A.S.P is the only glam metal band I like.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth

Oh:bow:, four horsemen of metal, I'm your slave :bow:

[Shoden]

You see, the sheer mentioning of the names of the mighty 4 make even the mightiest bow down.

[Ramza Beoulve]

n.nU, but I like W.A.S.P. too n.nU

[Shoden]

But sadly the might of the big 4 outweighs W.A.S.P. No matter how godly and amazing they are/were. I like them too but the big 4 just own.

Yeah, the Four Horsemen Rules here and all over the world!!!!:cool:

[Crushed Hope]

How many times must I tell you: Glam is not a sub-genre of metal.

And the best genre is black metal, fuck thrash, especially the big four who are the most overrated pieces of crap in the genre.

[Shoden]

Oh wow.... Scary yet you say it as if it's fact...
There's about 7 billion sub genres or something close to that of metal, perhaps it could be one of those many sub genres.

Anyway, what was the point in coming into the thread just to bash 4 bands and demanditively claiming what is a sub genre of metal, you bored too or something? It's going to upset people you know, just put the opinion a bit less harsh before a flame war starts.

It would be alot easier if all these sub genres of metal were just put as metal...

[Ramza Beoulve]

How many times must I tell you: Glam is not a sub-genre of metal.

And the best genre is black metal, smurf thrash, especially the big four who are the most overrated pieces of crap in the genre.
Hey, calm down, I like a lot too Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, between others, but I don't underestimate other genres, you know:mad:

[Shoden]

See what I mean?

Bashing a genre in a poll thread where that genre is a choice and where many fans are likely to be aint smart, it's going to start a fight.
May aswell get back on topic before a flame fest begins...

I like alot of the stuff From WASP's debut album and K.F.D.

[Venom]

Damn I shouldnt have tried and been diffrent and just voted Thrash.

[Crushed Hope]

First of all list actual black metal bands, not Gothic metal bands, well Dimmu's first two were black metal but ... aside from that my point stands.

I come in here saying a genre is not metal because, guess what, it isn't. Glam metal doesn't exist, and the bands that are refered to as such are typically the "Hair rock" bands of the 80s, which means hard rock essentially.

Now, I admit saying that a genre sucks is kind of stupid on a site where there is only one other person whose taste in metal I can even begin to say is good, but the point stands ... there is only one style of metal represented in this thread. Thrash, and well lets face it there are alot of genres than that.

It gets really annoying when you guys act like that is all that exists.

Anyways, your stupid 7 million genre comment was not needed at all.

There are about 10 different subgenres in metal:

Death
Folk
Black
Thrash
Power
Heavy
Doom
Gothic
Metalcore (this can only be considered metal if the metal influence is higher in ratio to that of the hardcore influence, examples of metal metalcore bands are The Red Chord, Despised Icon, and Job For A Cowboy)
Progressive metal

Blah blah I'm a prick yeah I know.

[Shadowflare]

Voting Thrash all the way. Glam annoys me on so many levels.

We don't think of it like the only one, we think of it like the best one we like, and that's one of the reason because we created this thread.

If you want more choices, just tell us, don't flame our likes, please. And one thing, I haven't said Glam is metal, just said that I like W.A.S.P., I don't know others.

And like I already said, if you wanted more choices, you could have answered for it, in place of yell at us our likes.

In other topic, I too like Black Metal, some bands I like are:

Cradle of Filth (it is also Black Metal, actually, Gothic/Black Metal)
Dimmu Borgir (Sympho Black Metal)
Bathory
Emperor (Symphonic Black Metal)
Gorgoroth
Darkthrone
Borknagar
Judas Iscariot
Tartaros
Marduk
Graveworm

And the list grows...

So please, don't bash our likes, and attach to yours, ok?

oh, and something more, there are more styles of metal, like:

Metal
Heavy Metal
Thrash Metal
Glam Metalhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glam_metal
Black Metal
Death Metal
Goth Metal
Speed Metal
Power Metal
Progressive Metal
Alternative Metal
Folk Metal
Symphonic Metal
Avant Garde Metal
Christian Metal
Classic Metal
Doom Metal
Funk Metal
Groove Metal
Industrial Metal
Shock Metal
UK Metal

So, what's your point?

[Crushed Hope]

Sorry guys, I really appologize for being an ass, just ... I was really pissed off earlier today and ended up bitching and taking it out here.

So yeah, I ... ack. >_>;; Yeah, I wasn't refering to you specifically about Glam being metal, moreso Venom.

Yeah, so. Uh. I'm sorry and just want to say that regardless I still think that the Big Four are some of the worst thrash bands
:tonberry:

EDIT:

Cradle of Filth (Nope, there is black metal influence in places but as a whole Gothic metal)
Dimmu Borgir (First two were Symphonic BM, everything else was Gothic metal)
Bathory
Emperor (Symphonic Black Metal)
Gorgoroth
Darkthrone
Borknagar
Judas Iscariot
Tartaros
Marduk
Graveworm

Everything else is good =)

Thanks for your apologize, now, can we be friends?:D

EDIT: and for you opinion, I respect your opinion of the "Four Horsemen", but please, next time respect others opinions, please?

[Crushed Hope]

Yup, we sure can be.

Also to be of some use, to suggest you some thrash metal I feel you will like.

Overkill - The Years Of Decay
Sabbat - Dreamweaver
Heathen - Victims of Deception
Holy Terror - Mind Wars (the absolute best thrash metal album ever recorded)
Atheist - Piece of Time (amazing jazzy death/thrash)

Have'em too, so don't worry :p, but still I think Megadeth is the best, so I don't really know :rolleyes2

[Crushed Hope]

Damn you for actually knowing them >.< Well I guess everyone else can use those recommendations.

Also, if you don'tknow them Laaz Rockit and Artillery are also classic thrash bands.

I know them too n.nU, Artillery is my six favorite through Thrash Metal n.nU

EDIT: In Thrash, some of I have, aside the already mentioned, are:
Exodus
Pantera
Sepultura
S.O.D.
Onslaught
Death Angel
Forbidden
Morbid Saint
and others n.n

God, I'm a music freak... And I LIKE THAT!!!!

[Crushed Hope]

Hobb's Angel Of Death?

Who everyone deems to be a Slayer rip off, but I deem them to do Slayer better than Slayer does.

[Shoden]

Good, you calmed down, well at least this thread is still up.
Me, I would class stuff such as Machine Head as Thrash too, they're a bit too fast to be normal heavy.

and that 7 billion comment was sarcasm, I think you missed it.

Like I said things would be easier if all sub genres were just put as either metal or heavy metal.

Actually, they would not be easier at all.

Think of how diverse metal bands are in sound.

You can not have Sonata Arctica and Gorgoroth labeled under one blanket genre, because while both metal they are incredibly NOT the same sub-genre.

[Shoden]

yeah, but all these sub genres are confusing and end up in conflicts and stuff.

[Crushed Hope]

Then learn them ... honestly once you learn them they are less confusing, and avoid more confusion then they cause.

[DeathKnight]

Thrash all the way!

and yes I know Overkill, Testament, PanterA, and all of those great bands, my two favorites will always be MetallicA and MegadetH though.

W.A.S.P kicks MAJOR ass though Oh! and Queensryche (are they glam?..can't remember)

[Zeldy]

Im sure its Glam rock and not Glam metal.

I don't really know what bands are metal and what arnt.
The 69 Eyes are metal I think.. I love them. They are classed as Gothic Metal on last.fm :/

[Ramza Beoulve]

Glam Metal exists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glam_Metal)

[Crushed Hope]

Quoting wikipedia means nothing, as for the most part Wikipedia is useless for music related things, especially metal.

That article cites bands like Poison, Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns, and Guns N' Roses as metal, when they are all hard rock.

[Strycnine]

Which Metal Genre do you think is Better?

Glam or Thrash?

I couldnt Decide:cry:


Ha ha ha ha ha rofl..... Aaaahhhhh ha ha for a moment I thought you suggested Glam ha ha ha........ha.....

Oh crap,..... uh nevermind

[DeathKnight]

BUMP!

There must be more metal fans out there, show yourselves!

[Faris]

From your options, Thrash, but from the list Ramza Beoulve provided: Metal, Heavy Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Gothic Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Alternative Metal, Folk Metal, and especiallySymphonic Metal. I like any, just as long as it's not Scream-o.

Yeah, but analyse this: some people call them hair rock too, so in reality there's no defined definition, but the Glam Metal is better know by the name Hair Rock, so lets stop this fight of the Glam please

[lady yunalesca]

i love bands that hail from all different genres of rock/metal!!! must we fight amongst ourselves...................its chavs we should be concentrating on!!!!!! :D
