I don't think so, actually. The people who like the bands figured they were far too obvious, I'm guessing (that's what I did).

Possibly. But I'd also say that, if you wanted to get a pretty good idea of what, at it's root, just listen to Mercyful Fate - Evil and Judas Priest - All Guns Blazing. It will straighten your teeth and enlarge your penis.
Even if you do not have one.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Do I listen to metal? Are bears catholic? Does the pope shit in the woods? But as always, this forum is so blimmin' pussy and predictable :p. Props to Misereatur, fucking nice list, but people, people, people. No mention I've seen of Burzum
Has anyone even said Mercyful Fate or Judas Priest yet? Please say yes.

I'm jewish. If I see Burzum I'd like to stab his eyes out and piss in the bleeding holes. And I think his music is godawful.
Dont get me wrong, I have alot of respect for you, I just fucking hate Burzum.
That being said, I only mentioned a very small part of the music I listen to. I thought a full list would just be too long and will be considerd spam.
And yes, Mercyful Fate are absolutly brilliant. The best Penis enlarging metal band.
Plus, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost and Venom pretty much invented black metal.

I'm not a nazi. Jeez. And it's not as if Burzum is even nazi music, really. Varg is a nazi, but Burzum itself is probably only about as nationalistic as, say, Wagner. It's widely ackowledged Varg is a complete cunt (though I find him a somewhat more interesting cunt since I learned the majority of online Burzum interviews are fake. Still only interesting in the same way as, say, Stalin. I'd love to mix his personal accounts and the newspaper and police reports to make a film of the whole inner circle crap that didn't sensationalise or romanticise anything), but I simply find him an extremely good minimalist BM and dark/black ambient composer/musician, and some Burzum tracks (War, Ea, Lord of the Depths, Han Som Reiste, Dunkelheit, Tomhet) are just among my favourite ever. I simply dissosciate music and man. I can only listen to nazi shit if I can't hear it in the lyrics. I mean, I like me a bit of Nokturnal Mortum as well, but I simply had to delete 'Call of the Aryan Spirit' because shit like that is just awful. I mean, fair enough, loathe him, but I cannot more disagree on the music. At the very least, you have to acknowledge that his works are extremely seminal. I myself would count Burzum as a musical influence, and his mixing of ambient and even trance elements into the composition of raw black metal has spawned some great stuff. You wouldn't have Wyrd without Burzum, for example. Only thing is, of all my favourite bands, I would simply never buy a Burzum album or official Burzum merchandise. Which is kind of a pity because it's pretty much the only way to get Theodor Kittelsen t-shirts, but there you go.
At least if you don't like Burzum as Burzum, download Ewigkeit's cover of Ea, Lord of the Deeps (called 'Ea 2000: Out For the Count'). He totally takes the piss out of it with zany samples and pirate backing vocals mocking the lyrics, and yet still makes it awesome grim shit. I love it. But then, I practically worship Jim Fogarty and all his works as if he were a God, which I'm not convinced he isn't.

True. I just figure it's like someone popping up and asking, "Do you listen to classical music?" and 50 people responding with Mozart at the top of their list. Yes, they're great and vitally important, but if you don't know them already, you should probably be shot. Twice. In the spleen.

--- Quote from: 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.

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.

I'm quite interested in thrash metal actually but I don't really know much about it.
