Heavy metal
lessthanfirst:
I think most metal is pretty shit. I like Pantera and Metallica (and Megadeth in very short doses) but most metal's just crappy riffs and guitarists trying to outdo each other by either cramming a ridiculous amount of notes into their shitty little guitar solos or trying to outdo each other by seeing who can detune their low E string the most. The double bass drum or double pass pedal is also a bit of a shit invention. I think Poison the Well are the only band I've ever heard use it effectively because if you have the bass drum too loud it doesn't fill the low end. It has nothing interesting to it, just a load of beats on the bass drum except really rapid - big deal. Most metal riffs sound exactly the same, as do the endlessly long solos and death/black metal vocals are just terrible. (This is just my opinion though, don't all you metal fans be taking any offence now :) )
I like Ensiferum though, folk metal, it's kind of fun.
Kai:
Poison the Well are fucking TERRIBLE.

--- Quote from: Misereatur ---Dunno, I never liked the "typical metal" bands (Iron Maiden, Testament etc..).
I allways look for somthing strange and interesting - bands like Atheist, Skyclad, Meshuggah, Isis, Pain Of Salvation, ...And Oceans, Anata, Edge of Sanity, Agalloch and such..
And I'm a huge fan of doom metal ala My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Anathema, Novembers Doom and more.
"Regular" metal just makes me sleepy, seriously.

So wait... you find doom less sleep inducing than any other types? How the hell does that work?
Isis is fucking great, as is Pain of Salvation. I still haven't been able to find anything by Skyclad.

Yeah, I do.
I rather lisrten to My Dying Bride then to Iron Maiden any time. Its strange, but I do find slow depressive doom metal more interesting then fast chuga-chuga riffing heavy metal.
Plus, most doom metal bands started out as death metal.
If you use soulseek, I can send you an album of skyclad.
I cant find anything of theirs here in israel, next week I'm going to order their stuff on-line. Same goes for Isis.
And POS are just genius.

Pantera? Oh God, I'm sorry. You're entitled to your own opinion, but I put forth that you haven't listened to the right metal. Most of what is classified as metal is crap (in my opinion). However, if you manage to find the right bands, it's really awesome.
Kai:
Yeah, Pantera are pretty fucking terrible too.
