As a metal fan, what other genres do you like that is not heavy metal?

[LuminousAether]

Neurosis did not always sounds how they do now.

You don't have to tell me dude. I've heard at least as far back as Through Silver in Blood, when they were more industrial metal than anything else.

 

[Wires & Waves]

i considered saying that but yeah neurosis have a far more varied sound than isis :/

 

[LieToPurify]

eh, some experimental stuff (Mr. Bungle), some hip hop, and classic rock a little.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Dark Ambient

 

[Killbot]

Forgot about Muse. Excellent band.

nah.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

nah.

Yeah man, I fucking hate them.

Metalcore is metal.

In my opinion it isn't. I don't consider any crossovers between metal and other genres of music to be considered true metal. In this instance, metalcore is a crossover between hardcore punk and metal. And nu-metal is a crossover between hip hop/rap and metal.

The Killers are pretty good. I liked their debut better than the new one though.

 

[LieToPurify]

Anyone like Mike Patton?

Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More.

Disco Volante is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I love nearly all music to some extent. The exceptions being gospel and most country. But even a couple country tunes hold my interest. I still love Devil went down to georgia. That song is a classic. I don't care for R&B much either

I love classical, though I don't own any albums. I just listen to the classical metal station when working (driving). I love it because it has no commercials. Rich white people donate for the public radio station.

Jazz station. no commercials. Did I mention I hate commercials? I can't stand corporate radio. commercials irritate me in a way I can't describe. The Jazz station is also the university station. They play weird stuff on the weekends though.

Pop. I started out listening to pop when I was a kid. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper. I still listen to some 80's pop, and some of the new stuff isn't bad.

Rap/hip-hop. Never been heavy into this genre. I loved Cypress Hill. Cock the Hammer is a great song. I mostly only like the hybrids that use guitar riffs. I need guitars, what can I say. Beastie Boys are cool as well.

Rock/Hard Rock- I imagine these genres are still around. Sometimes I just lump it in with pop, since you hear it on the radio. Some bands like Styx can be lumped into this category or the next category

Classic Rock- Led Zeppelin mostly. Deep Purple, that kind of stuff. boston, etc

not too much electronic stuff for me- I only like that Prodigy- Smack my Bitch up. never got into anything else.

Anyone like Mike Patton?

Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More.

Disco Volante is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I prefer the first album. Not a big Patton/Bungle/FNM/SC3 fan but they certainly have some good stuff. I've heard just about everything these groups have done... literally. My friend is the biggest Patton/Spurance junkie in the world... so I've heard it all.
I've actually got a bunch of Bungle/FNM bootlegs if you are interesting in trading.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I am very open minded towards music

I like anything that has real emotion and is well written, and well played. I hate fake pop music

listen to Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante

and holy shit you live in aurora! i live in oswego.

 

[Son of Evil]

nah.

Muse are still better than Fall Out Boy or other such crap anyway. I kinda enjoy some of their stuff.

 

[~L~]

Whatever genre you'd classify Dead Can Dance as, I like it. At least I like the Dead Can Dance part of that genre.

There's some pretty good underground hip-hop in the form of Necro, Jedi Mind Tricks, Outerspace, and so on. It's almost hard to say it because it gets shat on for being hip-hop, and understandably so. But at least it's good shit.

Celtic/old Greek music is great as well. Daemonia Nymphe being a prime example.

And that's that for my opinionated list of good stuff that isn't metal.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Captain Beefheart would be okay if the singer didn't sing.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Anyone like Mike Patton?

Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More.

Disco Volante is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Yes....

The Real Thing is a classic.

 

[LieToPurify]

Captain Beefheart would be okay if the singer didn't sing.

I like Captain Beefheart and Zappa every once in a while.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Anyone like Mike Patton?

Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith No More.

Also Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, General Patton vs The Executioners and a bunch of other collaborations he's done are all quality.

And yeah, Disco Volante is one of my all time faves as well.
