Metal is sometimes great and is sometimes shit, I hate most of the death metal, but I hate black metal more, one of the worst genres ever IMO. My favorite metal albums are:

All the 80's albums by Metallica (especially Ride the Lightning)

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley (well I don't know if I can say metal but it sure is fucking loud and awesome)

Boris - Feedbacker and Amplifier Worship

Tool - Aenima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days (let the hate begin)

Faith No More - Angel Dust

Any recommendations ?

Feedbacker isn't quite metal. Nothing Boris does is quite one thing.

Gorguts is where it's at.

Metal always seems like one of those genres that, no matter how many records I own, I'll always feel like a fraud. Much like hardcore (punk, not happy). I don't think an appreciation of hardcore means anything unless you're down the front getting yourself hurt for a band that no-one will ever write about. Similarly, metal's all about the culture that surrounds it. No matter how much I love Maiden (or whatever), I'll always feel like I'm just a voyeur on metal culture, because ultimately I think long goatees are shit, hoodies look terrible and nice haircuts and shirts are a good idea. Also, while being able to play the guitar well is impressive, it really doesn't make anyone a decent human being.

batreleaser · 09.03.2009, 03:25 PM

i really dont feel like listing every obscure black metal band i dig, so yeah, iron maiden rules.

jerf · 09.03.2009, 04:07 PM

Between the Buried and Me. Great band.

I lived and died for Metal back when I was 8-16, the I found Sonic Youth and jane's Addiction.

Yeah, you're definitely a convincing metaller. In fact, I'd say you're so convincing that you're unconvincing in pretty much everything else. I have a friend like you, and no matter what he says, I still know he'd rather be getting pummeled at Down than faffing about with some string quartet on a Tuesday night.

Rob Instigator · 09.03.2009, 04:37 PM

is today opposite day and no one told me?

Rob Instigator · 09.03.2009, 04:49 PM

the melvins did indeed pummel my brain so deliciously.

but I am equal parts classical music fuddy duddy, having played the cello for 8 years and being deeply in love with orchestras. especially the ones with big butts

the first down record was great. "stone the crow" was southern rock at its best, and phil anselmo is waaaaay underrated when it comes to his actual vocal talent, his range is rather impressive. and he throws a stiff fucking right hook.

batreleaser · 09.03.2009, 10:17 PM

1. darkthrone

i'm sorry, but that is a top 20. you've got to do it right.

Actually, I can't take them seriously when he sings about his grandma.
