Do you like metal music? (Question of the Day 12-3-10)

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.

Ugh, I can't stand it. I think when I was in junior high/high school I listened to far too much terrible emo-ish metal, which ruined me for the genre as a whole.

For the past 10 years it's what I listen to almost exclusively.

I like mostly 70' /early 80's metal. when you get to the late 80's I start only liking a song or two in a genre.

Love it, don't listen to it exclusively, listen to some classic rock and electronic music also. 
 
The funny thing about saying you like "metal" is there's such a wide variety almost everyone finds different things to latch onto.

Yep, love me some Megadeth, Dave Mustaine represents! ^_^

Metal seems to come in two flavors. Cock and ork. Either it's hey baby look and my penis, or it's hey baby look at how many orks I slayed when I was fighting the War of the Ring in Middle Earth. Both these flavors are equally annoying.

I like old metal, stuff like Metallica, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, you know, stuff like that. Not so much new metal, but whatever.

HELL YEAH!

Yeah, Gojira

I think this is what put me off of metal. I like the first two albums by The Sword, but singing about orcs and goblins and shit is just fucking embarrassing to me... "

Did you hear Warp Riders? "

My most played song according to last.fm: 

73% yes? 
 
Strange, Giantbomb has always struck me as very anti-metal. 
 
I guess nothing could ever kill the metal, not even Giantbomb.

Yes. There were tracks that I liked ("Tres Brujas" being one of them) but I couldn't really get into it like I could with their previous two albums. In the album's defense it's been a while since I've listened to it so maybe it's one of those things that grows on you but right now my opinion of it is just kind of "meh". "

"  Strange, Giantbomb has always struck me as very anti-metal.  "

yes

" 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. "

Yes, I like most of it.  Not a really big fan of the screaming stuff.

Yep. I'm human.

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
 
 

@Riddell:

I'm not anti-metal. I'm just not pro-metal.

"  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. "  

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 like a wide variety of music, including metal, though some metal is really bad.

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.

No. It's shit.

False generalizations say hi. I could say the same thing about a dude with "dead" in his name if I was ignorant too. "

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.

Doesn't get better than this! 

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. 
 
  

What the fuck 
 
Nope

" Too much posturing, but once in a while I can deal.  Mostly no. "

I enjoy metal; mostly melodeath, prog, and metalcore. But I also listen to a whole range of other music.

" Hammerfall, OT3P.  "

The guitar shreds through the last piece of sanity in my soul while its bass lines pound along with my barely beating heart, clinging on to dear life while lyrics replace logical thoughts in my head...  "

There's a bit of a difference between a screen name and having a huge ginger beard and taking great offence at a catch all statement. "
