metal country stereotype...

No, you're not.

Phew.

I went through a KoRn, Slipknot, System Of A Down, and Marilyn Manson phase where those 4 bands were the only ones I would listen to. I stoped after a year and a half of listening though. Out of the 4 I liked marilyn manson the most because I was a fan of the "shock appeal" stuff. I no longer listen to him though even if he was my favorite of the 4.

Fyi to the person who said american metal sucks, you might want to check out an increasing popular band called Agalloch. They are really good.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I hate Marilyn Manson. He's such a fucking ripoff of Alice Cooper. Oh yeah, and his music bites ass.

There's a lot of great American metal bands out there, but they're mostly pushed out of the way by the rising popularity of metalcore, who give a lot of people a false impression of the American metal scene. You know, assholes like As I Lay Dying, Trivium...all that bullshit.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Shock Rock sucks in general, I hate that "so-called offensive" over the top shit.

 

[Blue_Jay]

I just like to feel shocked is all. I no longer feel the shock though after I gave up on nu metal. And yes I knew Marilyn Manson ripped off Alice Cooper I didn't care surprisingly enough.

Agreed. All they're really doing is making asses out of themselves and their music usually isn't that good.

 

[skeptik]

No offense intended, but you seem to do an awful lot of "preaching to the choir," if you will.

 

[Hatebreeder]

It's my shtick.

 

[genocide roach]

I want to move to either Austrailia or Japan

I always thought Russia was more of a melodic Black...

Yeah except they're barely Metal. And having just one good band still doesn't alleviate the fact that most American Metal is in fact inferior.

 

[Life Sucks]

You know, I think I'm the only metalhead that never went through a phase in which Korn, Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne, etc. were my favorite bands. I always HATED that shit. Slipknot was as far as I went.

I never went though one of those phases. Probably because I am easily old enough to have started listening to real metal, and learn a lot about metal before nu metal even existed. I admit that I used to listen to glam back in the late 80s, and it can be said that glam was basically the nu metal of the time.

 

[Hatebreeder]

And having just one good band still doesn't alleviate the fact that most American Metal is in fact inferior.

But that also shouldn't cause you to look down upon the entire American metal scene. There are plenty of good American metal bands.

 

[skeptik]

MOST Metal from ALL countries fucking suck.
