They forgot Edge of Sanity , and put Opeth under goth metal. Fail.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

And they misspelled Dream Theater

 

[funeralportrait91]

obviously a few mistakes there. I mean, COF under "norwegian black metal"? they're British. and the metalcore section is very unaccurate too.

 

[opeth_353]

Pretty sure Metal Hammer did this a while back, exact same thing.

Laughed at it then, laughed at it now. Doesn't really matter in the end.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

Wasn't this the chart from Metal: A Headbangers Journey? Even Sam Dunn admitted that it had some flaws to it.

 

[opeth_353]

Could be, might even be where metal hammer got it from.. I assumed they compiled it themselves though. Again, doesn't really matter.

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

I think that the definition of metal has been warped. I mean, Jimi Hendrix? He had more of a psychedelic/experimental rock aspect than metal.

 

[Annihilat0r]

So Limp Bizkit originated from Morbid Angel?

 

[Slayer101]

So Limp Bizkit originated from Morbid Angel?

Yes, obviously, you can hear the influence in the music.

 

[SerenityNow!]

Candlemass is stoner metal??

 

[Saihtam]

Cradle of Filth are Norwegian?

 

[|55555|]

They left out doom metal all together.

 

[Twelveby5]

Cradle of Filth are Norwegian?

Is Gaahl a Texan?

 

[Hedon-]

cob is trash??

 

[Frosties]

Yes they are trash.

 

[Godhead59]

I think he means that more about the sound of the band. I don't listen to either black metal or CoF, so I don't know if that's valid. But The Absence, for example, are American but make Gothenborg melodeath.

 

[Carta's]

Rolling Stones is bullshit, wouldn't have expected anything better, coming from that crappy magazine.

 

[Alex78]

So Uriah Heep is prog metal, huh?

 

[RoadKing]

Who the fuck is "PRIME Fear"?! Ralf needs to go over there and kick some ass!

And freakin' GIRLSCHOOL in the NWOBHM?! :zombie:

I've also never thought of Alice in Chains as a "grunge" band, either, even though they're usually labelled that way.

Not that it matters for piss in the grand scheme of things, but... FAIL.
