Sorry guys but in the past few years I've found Metal to be an extremely boring genre of music! There is only so much guitar masturbation that a guy can listen too ya know.

If I had to pick between the 2 types named though I'd lean towards the neo classical because at least your musicianship has to be very very high for that kind of music to sound anyway decent. As for that Death Metal crap I would rather drive a railroad spike through my skull with a meat tenderizing hammer then listen to it for 5 seconds! I mean come on, listening to a guy growl like he has pretty bad stomach cramps while a guitarist plays scales and the lyrics are apparently about murder & burning churches & other things you do when you dress like a goth & hate the world(fyi I'm not ragging on the subject matter, not touching that topic with a barge pole), that is of course if you can understand the growling that is!

But notwithstanding what I've just said I'm into grunge, punk & hardcore so these days anything heavier just seems to much like white noise & hate on me for it or not but heavy metal is angry adolescent music as far as I'm concerned.

But be thankful Metal fans at least your music does require a decent standard of musicianship unlike Indie music
