Controversial opinions on metal

^ I think a lot of non-metalheads who happen to like Metallica would agree with that. Though it is definitely controversial for these boards. Metallica is one of the few metal bands that a lot of non-metalheads like (I know they aren't metal anymore, but you know what I mean).


BTW, what is the band in your av?
 
They're a prog band, as opposed to metal, right? You mentioned in another post you've been getting more into that stuff and less into metal.
jazzy quasi-rock with operatic vocals and chants, sung in a made-up language. The pioneers of this style called "zeuhl".
It's pretty weird music. Acquired taste, but extremely great.
 
No one needs to get into any rap, as far as I'm concerned. The closest I come to rap is Rage Against the Machine, pretty much. Some 2Pac and The Roots here and there.
