I dig some metal. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and I listen to Kamelot every now and then. That being said, what is considered popular metal currently is stuff I generally dislike. It doesn't help that most of the people I know IRL that are big metal fans are pretentious douchebag hipsters.
Do you like metal music? (Question of the Day 12-3-10)
I like old metal, stuff like Metallica, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, you know, stuff like that. Not so much new metal, but whatever.
GIANTBOMB BE HEADBANGING, MOTHERFUCKEEEEEEEEEERS
HELL YEAH!

"im glad you're exploring music genres as you go along but allow me to disagree with that statement.. you should watch Metal: A Headbanger's Journey and see the 30 and 40 year old successful men and women who still wake up to a Slayer record instead of a cup of coffee
IMO metal is a one of a kind type of music.. you either get it and wallow in it and integrate it in your very own being, or you listen to it's kickass riffs for a summer and move on. the latter is what i call doing it wrong! and it doesnt happen often
" I don't care much for music in general, but metal is really the worst. Even I can tell that. "Now now. The current version of the music they call RnB is the worst, even worse than Country and Western. Anything that appears on a compilation that uses the words "Urban" or "Flavaz" has CDs that are only useful as clay pigeons or for your dad to hang up on a bit of string in his allotment to frighten crows.

73% yes?
Strange, Giantbomb has always struck me as very anti-metal.
I guess nothing could ever kill the metal, not even Giantbomb.
Yeah it was a stylistic shift from their first two albums. I liked it - felt rockier and less like generic Ozzy worship - but if you were really into the first two I could see disliking it. I liked Age of Winters but felt Gods of the Earth was kinda mediocre." @sgjackson said:

" Why am I not surprised in the least by these results. Of course you all do, you beardy pony-tail loners, dressed in black, headphones constantly stuck in grimy ears, no hint of a smile ever creeping across your callous, washed-once-a-fortnight face, living in your own 'world of darkness' yet were you to ever come up against any real danger in life you'd be the first cowering in the corner, I bet whenever you go out you walk with stupidly long strides and an undeserved sense of purpose despite having no real destination, and you sit in at night with fucking Master of Puppets on a loop while arguing with pre-teens on forums about why mouse and keyboard will always be better than controllers. Morons. "This is the greatest thing.
Hell yeah ....\m/ -_- \m/
Heavy , trash , doom , death , black , gothic , folk , viking etc. all genres , my fav is Black Metal tho
@Raymayne Whats your friggin problem dude? Cowards will be coward no matter what music they listen to

i like crusty shit like mastodon, kylesa, high on fire, baroness and withered, but i dislike death metal, 80s metal and *shudder* "progressive" metal
I do enjoy a lot of metal. Mastodon is one of the metal groups I prefer listening to, but the amount of genres for metal make it difficult to really define metal music as a whole. Mastodon and Kylesa are two of the groups I listen to most from the metal genre, and that is because one of my friends introduced me to them initially. I also enjoy Rammstein's music, if you class it as a form of metal. My musical taste is quite diverse actually - while I write this post I'm listening to 300MPH Torrential Outpour Blues by The White Stripes. That is most definitely not metal.

Used to be big into Metal, but lost interest in it. Still will listen to Amon Amarth, Arsis, Pantera and Soilwork from time to time; and some similar things as well.

I like a handful of metal bands, but as a genre it just seems incredibly tired and predictable to me, so no.
Always post this whenever there's a metal thread, simply to show how much "metal" can differ within the genre itself... and to show people that it's not necessarily about painting your face worse than Kiss and screaming randomly.
Power metal at its finest.

The obvious part about the screen name being the first thing people see (next to the avatar, which YOU used to have a dude dressed in all black with spiky emo hair as), the part about having a beard being related to grimness, the fact that you needed to mention I'm a ginger (which is our word, btw)?

Why not say something about watermellon and fried chicken in a thread that asks if you have dark skin?
Fuck off, bigot.
