So? What is the point in you even pointing that out? Danny B has made multiple "metal-related" songs as well. Are you saying that means I shouldn't like them and/or their music?
Before you read this, please note that I am note saying all heavy metal is satanic or whatever, just some of it or most of it, please don't judge me for my opinions or asking why I like hiphop, I am just curious and I am not disrespecting people who listen to metal.
I really think it has no musical elements, I can't understand anything they are saying most of the time and some of it is really scary ****. What does shouting, witchcraft, vampires, and satanic elements have to do with music? I would like to know and please realize I'm not dissing metal I'm just wondering. I do respect Marilyn Manson for his great knowledge, he really does seem like a brilliant person but he has done some disturbing things that I have heard of.
It has lots of musical elements. Lyrics from big metal bands do say something. hiphop is just about sex. Witchcraft has nothing to do with metal. And the rest is just cult just like you fellas hanging your pants on you knees and wear big gold chains. Also, marilyn manson isnt that popular in metal. hes old. but hip hop stars have done strange **** too. The 'shouting' is called growling, it's a form of singing, and isnt shouting. It isnt easy, you need to practice alot.
To answer your question. Why do you listen to hiphop? Because you like it. Well, i like metal and punk, and a trong argument is for the lyrics. popular music these days have no meaningfull lyrics at all.
What do you even mean by this? If you're trying to explain something, don't use the word "technical." That's a controversial word, and it's used wrongly a good portion of the time.
In general, metal isn't what people think it is. It can be deep, it can be touching. I love it because it just makes you let go.

Eh I don't know, i like to hang on when i listen to music. I think that it helps me be more aware.
There really is no point in trying to spoon-feed others. Chances are, if someone doesn't like metal, then there is nothing you can do to change that, whatsoever.
Nonetheless, I'll post four "non-screaming" songs here of the "doom metal" variety.
I'm alright with metal, most metal bands want to make an epic, grand, fast sound, and if they succeed, good for them. Same as any other genre, I may not enjoy a certain genre, but if they succeed in their goal, it's "good", at least in my terms.
I do like some Metallica, Alice Cooper, KISS, etc., I prefer other bands, but they are masters of music, even geniuses.
I love heavy metal but i am not a stupid devil worshiping retard. first i would like to say that new heavy metal bands are just terrible and i can see why you see heavy metal that way. Newer heavy metal bands just sound aw full and don't understand them but bands that you like that are in the category hard rock from say 70s or 80s that was considered heavy metal back then in those years. When rock and roll first started every adult hated it. Try thinking about heavy metal like this first there was rock and roll and there were people who liked that it was new and heavy and made people want to say no to they parents or the authority. Well heavy metal is just one leap forward its a little heavier then rock. I do not know why but majority of heavy metal is talking about death or demons or whatever. I think fans of heavy metal like it because not allot of people like heavy metal and its a way to spit back in there face and say im different then you, im not going to listen to you or follow your rules similar to punk rock but just heavier. It is also for people who were beaten down in there life and when they hear the music they just want to go berserk because the lyrics are about smashing skulls and being able to do what you want. I respect your opinion and i hope i have changed your opinion on heavy metal.
i think new metal is awful,except for Skillet,but i like 80s-early 90s metal like Savatage and Queensryche.I agree,almost all new metal i cant understand what their saying halve the time.And yes,they are talented,but you be suprized how much more talented hard rock and hair metal are then alought of heavy metal bands,just because their playing fast does not mean their the greatest players of all-time.Actually,"Unskinny Bop" by Poison is harder to play then "Blackened" by Metallica(im a guitar player).
Good god this thread. FFS dont use shitty technical bands like meshugga as an example of metal's superiority. Technical skill doesnt make a band metal. It is not and never was defined by how many notes one can cram into a 3 minute song.
now I could go out of my way to post some watered down metal for girls that effeminite little dubstep listening weirdoes might like, you know stuff like metallica and whatnot but why bother? The vast majority of people like their music disposable and fake and Im not going to try to appease people like them.

Why does a song's quality depend on whether or not you can understand the lyrics or how difficult it is to play? Enlighten me, o metal master

the quality is not the factor,its just most death metal,thrash metal,and black metal bands these days are hard to understand.I don't know why they just are.I just think older stuff is harder to play then newer stuff,it's my opinion,not yours and since i don't think your a guitar player,your opinion on guitar playing isn't worth much.

Someone doesn't like what I like? They must be stupid!
You could say that about almost any genre of music and it would hold true.
Proof please. And one example of switching key/time signatures in a song is not proof.

To each their own, I suppose.

Kids these days always tryin' to find meaning behind stuff!
Yes, because artists like Nikki Minaj (Spelling?) are true poets.
P.s: I'm not saying all hip-hop is bad... I do like the Beastie Boys.

Sweet. Wait, you like them in the ironic way, right? 'Cuz almost everything they wrote was ironic.
