Bands you listened to before you listened to metal

[IWP]

I don't think he likes those bands anymore, and do you even know what emo is?

 

[lost_within]

Backstreet boys

 

[Blissful_Kunt]

Mainly i listened to..

Our Lady Peace
DMX
and thats like.. all..

Then one day in grade 8 i heard Enter Sandman and have never stopped listenening to metal since

 

[Saartje]

I listened to radio pop music especially boybands like Westlife and Backstreet boys. I used to listen to The Rasmus and Evanescence too.

I'm glad I discoverd metal

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

That's what I was thinking too... Cause those bands aren't Emo. A lot of Metalheads confuse Linkin Park with Emo.

That is all. We don't need an Emo arguement starting now.

I happened to come across this website a couple of weeks ago, and I learned alot from it.

 

[Krakatau]

Metallica (TBA/Reload)
Korn
Limp Bizkit
Slipknot
Deftones
Linkin Park
Deadsy
Orgy
White Zombie/Rob Zombie
Static X
Taproot
Incubus
Nirvana
Greenday
Blink 182
Foo Fighters
Chumbawumba
Avril Lavigne

I think that's literally all the bands I listened to from when I was about 11 until I turned 16 and got back into Metallica and started getting into uh... "real" metal. I still think Incubus are good and Deftones and Foo Fighters are kinda good. And Deadsy and Orgy were kinda cool even though they looked/sounded like homosexuals.

 

[molochete]

The Black Album and In Utero are good, other than that those are shit.

 

[KMADD]

It's kind of funny cause the members of Chumbawumba were once in
old school punk bands like Crass.

 

[IWP]

Lil Jon

 

[AdamCymru86]

Oasis,
Manic Street Preechers,
Stereophonics,
Silverchair,
Bush,
Nirvana,
Staind,
The Datsuns,
The D4,
White Stripes,
Foo Fighters,
U2

Then oneday I bought Sepultura - Roots after seeing Roots Bloody Roots being played to death on Kerrap. Although its far from being great it completely changed my musical perspective.

I do still like some Oasis, The Manics and The Datsuns.

 

[Dimebag lives \m/]

Just a question... why can't you continue to listen to bands that you listened to before getting into metal? Does being a fan of metal preclude you from liking other types of music?

Nope not at all mate, well depending on how bad it was. I won't mention what i was listening to before i was ten, basically just whatever got forced down your throat. At that age i got into Queen in a big way and didn't i cope crap for that, being the only kid in school who liked them. Other Rock acts followed until late in high school when i heard Ozzy and was sold on metal and have progressed evry since. Funny thing was the amount of stuff i liked before but had no idea who they were...

I could have told you that stuff

 

[Black Core]

[HellMan]

Scooter

 

[Chastise]

Linkin Park
SOAD
Korn
Staind
Blink 182
some gay rappers

 

[TylerTheNuke]

well, way back when, I listened to pure shit like backstreet boys ect. Then, I evolved to linkin park soad ect. However, for about a year and a half, I was into good music before discovering metal. NIN, radiohead, were my starting points. Then pink floyd and for the next year I was a prog fanatic. King Crimson, yes, genesis, tangerine dream, and even some more obscure ones like magma, einsturzende neubaten, can, John Zorx, ect. I still love all those bands, even though for many I only own one album. King Crimson are still my all time favorite band.

 

[Thidrek]

Scooter

Me, too.
And I am gonna see them live in September (playing together with Bloodhound Gang - that's why I'll be there), they are just fun. I do not use to listen to them anymore but I always sing along on parties and stuff

 

[Mr Genvin]

I really only listened to radio stuff until I was about nine or ten, or sometihng. Then I got into bands like Linkin Park, Evanescence, SOAD, and Slipknot and stuff. And just this year I started really getting into real metal. That's thirteen years old, if you were wondering.
