Why does almost every power metal and thrash metal band sound the same? For power metal only Blind Guardian, Edguy, Hammerfall, Edguy, Avantasia, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica, Iced Earth and Statovarius stand out. All new or undergound bands sound like one of these. For thrash metal only "The...

Thanks for all these answers! And you guys are right, fun is what matters! But imagine if every band did so and metal would stay on the Iron Maiden / Judas Priest era forever :/ that would suck tho O.o

As we all know there are many many sub genres of metal. I've come to a conclusion, that if you try to be labeled in an already existing sub genre, you're gonna sound generic!! If you dive in within an sub genre there is close to none original bands except the ones who started it. I will never be...

Yes I have seen their backstage footage: History of Bodom on the DVD and Thrashed in Helsinki :) They didn't say anything about serious issues there? I haven't read so many interviews though, so what are these issues Alexi and Roope have? And congratulations with being off that "poision"...

Hey... do any of you recall that any of CoB's members have told us why they fucking trash themselves so much? I mean every single one of them is drinking heavily and all of them smoke except for Janne... WHY? Do they want to die early? As far as I know they haven't had any problems in their...

Hey! I enjoy everything of IN FLAMES. But the older albums have another style of playing than the new ... The older albums are slower (not a bad thing), but I really like the amazing energy of all the albums from Clayman - A Sense Of Purpose. So I wonder what is it that you don't like about...

Are you talking about clean singing or growling/screaming?

Hey! I can write both thrash metal and melodic death metal, but it sounds generic! When I write Melodic death I use a lot of harmonized 3rds which is in my opinion the definition of Swedish Melodic death, and I also throw in fast single string picking to make it more death or black...

Well I'm nowhere near CoB's level yet ... i can only play rythm parts. I can play the rythm of Angels don't kill, Hate me and Sixpounder so far :P But as far as i have tried making my own riffs I end up using simple powerchords, palm muting and throw in an solo attempt that usually fail hard ^^

You have a point there .... guess i just suck at making own riffs ...

Im not at their level yet, but i try making my own riffs out of the playing style CoB uses. So far I haven't got any good riffs and stuff... and my mind is constantly telling me that if i can't play the same style that CoB have (melodic death/power metal) i can't do easier things as classic...
