Maybe if you didn't have a sig full of trendwhore bands like Slayer, Metallica, Dragonforce, Pantera, I would ignore that you are a racist long enough to listen to what you have to say. But seeing this is a metal forum, and you clearly don't even know anything about that, your opinion on whether I'm retarded or not is just as worthless as Pantera are overrated.

Coming from someone who has 13 posts. :rolleyes: Not to mention that I only like three of Pantera's albums. Just because something maybe overrated, doesn't mean I can't like it.

May I ask, what are your top 10 favorite metal bands?

metal fans: bitching about how people closed-mindedly judge their music while doing the same to every other genre
you can't really say that to a metalhead, cuz Im sure most of us listen to other kinds of music like jazz, and most defintely classical. I for one grew up with classical, and I still listen to it today along with some jazz(more like Al Di Meola stuff), drum and bass and some electronic
 
I hate people on the internet that post a list of what they feel is diverse having that LOOK AT ME I'M OPEN MINDED OMG I LISTEN TO ALL THIS DIFFERENT MUSIC AND I'M DIVERSE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL!.

I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT I LISTEN TO... I DON'T LIKE SOME OF THAT BUT I LIKE SOME OF THIS NOW. I'M MORE DIFFERENT NOW!
 
It seems like on this forum, you have to like only Death, Black, and Thrash Metal, and if you listen to anything else, you're considered a "fag", or a "mallcore kid", or whatever else you people come up with.

This is a general metal discussion section so what else someone listens to has no significance unless it's metal.

I second that. Death metal is starting to get stale because few of their bands feel like doing something different, black metal's age of vibrant creativity is naught but a memory, and I don't even really like thrash in general, old or new. Power metal, however, has been evolving since it started, and melodic death metal is offering up an impressive array of bands.

Maybe people do like/respect power metal, but are sick of trendwhore DragonForce fans who haven't even heard Gamma Ray or Helloween.

You must be kidding. It's probably the most stagnant genre, not to mention it has had perhaps the least number of consistent 'masters' of it of any the major genres.

Stop talking about things you clear have no clue about.

I also tire of that, but their lack of knowledge about the genre should not be cause to hate them. Instead, try INTRODUCING THEM to other power metal bands.

Power metal wasn't meant to be a "show your mad guitar skillz" type of genre, it has always focused on making music of an epic, expansive nature, preferring to focus on that instead of technical virtuosity, so you can't blame it for that.

I know plenty about black metal, and in my opinion, the latter day black metal bands don't have the same artistic originality as the early bands like Emperor, Satyricon, Bathory, etc. Yes, I like the newer black metal bands, but they're not all that original. But originality isn't something that I prioritize when choosing bands.
