Nice, this thread is great input for my Spotify weekend!!



My list, of kinds of music I especially like. Others may have made a few better songs but these guys have stood the test of time.

1. Nirvana - when I was 14 I learned to play my new electric guitar thanks to their Unplugged in New York, the best album ever! I also like their plugged music a lot.

2. Guns n' Roses - how I continued to play electric guitar. In their best moments this band has it all.

3. Queen - brilliant in every genre. Probably the best choir in the world.

4. Old Heroes called Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Deep Purple and U2.

Bryan Adams gets a honourable mention for making the soundtrack to the film about Locksley - The Prince of Thieves.


AND FINALLY, THE AMAZING DUO called and known as Rodrigo y Gabriela

A real contender for the top of this list, but a bit different.

I think is Fred's personal naming.
Slipknot is considered Nu metal (or Neo Metal) and Danzig Heavy Metal with Doom/Rock influences (if he's referring to the band from New Jersey).

Slipknot being considered Nu Metal of late is like consider mid 2000s Linking Park was Nu Metal. Too much variance in terms of genres. Most of the standartisations of styles have fallen by the wayside nowadays - there is too much mix and match in every style, hence some styles like Nu Metal are no longer befitting.

I didn't follow these bands and have no idea how they sound nowadays, but at the time Iowa came out (probably still the reference album with the famous People=****?) it was clearly Nu metal.
How would you call it by now? First criteria for defining metal subgenres is vocals. Then, as hybrids is common, you usually have a general feel taking the upper hand.

@ zeno and artu:

"darkcore" is like hate metal, only gabber-ish. it is industrial by nature, but much more fast-paced. like electronic death metal dance music, pretty much.

"hate metal" is my term for metal music focusing on hatred. it's borderline death metal, but not quite.

"horrorcore" is horror rap. icp is the biggest "band" in this genre; although they weren't the first. "esham the unholy" was the originator of this genre.



lol. if linkin' park is snowing metal, my name is sally snowing struthers.

when i think of heavy metal, i think of 80's metal, like judas priest and iron maiden. danzig is black metal, because it's satanic, and revels in evil themes. that's my view on it, anyway. manson would be black metal, if all he came out with was stuff like antichrist superstar. because he's more diverse, he's alternative metal.

some critics(or people who classify music), seem to be lost on the messages behind the music, which is where i think true genre's lie.

I cringe whenever young people think they listen to rock when they're actually listening to punk or glam metal.

Real rock'n'roll started in the 50's and flourished... but that doesn't mean all those genres are rock and roll to me.

Danzig is not black metal because THIS, or THIS or THIS is.

I understand you have your own definition and philosophy but these bands I just linked are of the very first ones who created that very specific type of sound, already fairly different from Venom's album named Black Metal.

In my informed opinion the message behind black metal is total MISANTHROPY, despite the heavy history on Satanism it has.

This is like saying h6 is the same as h3 just because it's TBS.

forgot, i got them from him as well.

Regarding metal sub genres, I'd classify Rodrigo y Gabriela as Flamenco Metal

FOC is flamenco metal at its very best.

But they also made film music - twice!
Good choice by Hans Zimmer in THIS piracy blockbuster. They also rock in THIS animal shoe commercial, LOL

@Galaad:

Nu Metal has been conceived to describe bands which mainly merged rapping or rap styled voicals with metal with the prime examples of Korn, Limp Bizkit, early Linkin Park, early Papa Roach. It has not been corroborated whether the rapping influences just happened to coincide with the appearance of the new type of music.

Even more so, Nu Metal has been a label that has been shunned by all the bands for its perceived distance from the true sound of their music and to avoid labelling.

The difference between rap-rock and nu metal pretty much relies on the underlying usage of instruments (I thought bass guitar was pretty much a defining feature of metal iIRC). Though the former has been used in its early forms to describe Linkin Park, later it sorts of separated from the nu metal comparison as it began including more experimental types.

Truth be told, the labelling of metal types is predominantly used among the metal community to "discern" themselves from the others, as if proving their superiority. Nu metal people have always been shunned by the "true metal" - heavy metal, then death metal, thrash metal and the like. For example during my teenage years a number of my associates were death metal fans while I was predominantly a power metal fan. While they treated it as a passable form, to them it still felt a lesser form of metal.

In case of Slipknot, I'd honestly call the majority of their releases as heavy metal, experimental metal and alternative metal.

ok, i got a chance to listen to these, and now i think i see the difference: these all suck.

just kidding(they do suck, but that's not the difference, obviously). i should have already come to this conclusion, since i know "cradle of filth" is black metal. but "obituary" sounds the same as "cradle of filth", and yet, i think they are classified as death metal

recategorizing danzig will be an easy fix, as i don't have anything classified under "heavy metal".

@TDL: Bass is not a defining feature to discern metal subgenres. Vocals first (high or low pitch, sing or scream or growl etc), then riffing.

@Fred:

PS. If you guys want to discuss metal any further maybe we should do it elsewhere, here we're kind of using Blizz's one intended for something else I think.

This thread maybe

And when I said The Beatles, I kind of included their solo careers too, a fan of Harrison's especially, but also Lennon's and McCartney's...too bad John's was cut short.
