What's your favorite sub-genre(s) of metal?

[ThisIsACoolName]

Oh, to the poster who said that you could only pick one favorite, you're incorrect.

Well then I guess this thread is pointless then, isn't it?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I think thats a matter of opinion. congratulations on being "one of them". and by "one of them" I mean 99.999999999999999999999% of the world.

To the whole post. Regarding myself. And that Big Dave is trying to balance his lack of intelligence with muscle mass and memorizing all the statistics about metal.

are u actually that into hair metal? uggh ahha jk man, id have to agree with u saying that trivium is good metal-core band. if theres any good metalcore bands its between the buried and me. death and black rule, then prgressive.I do wish ppl were doing more original things in all genres, like alot of stuff sounds the same, and it gets quite old. w.e i cant rag on them ,cause its not like im the one making the music, they do that.

Priest > Maiden
Glam > Power

That should be made a law. No truer thing can be said.

 

[Life Sucks]

Priest > Maiden
Glam > Power

eh I disagree. death and black > everything else:zombie:

[ConvergeNerd]

1. Doom
2. Progressive
3. Traditional

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Which asshole voted Nu-metal? Hahaha

 

[thisisaformicatable]

I chose black, death, doom, grind and thrash myself. Although I think the poll is flawed, as it explicitly lumps one of my least favourite genres (melodic death) in with one of my favourites (death). I wonder how the results would shift if they were separated?

 

[Koude Haat]

1. Death Metal
2. Black Metal
3. Doom
ehh thats about it..

Which asshole voted Nu-metal? Hahaha

lolll it was me.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

lolll it was me.

 

[Vitor]

I voted for Death Metal.


Who the fuck voted for Nu Metal and Metalcore ?

Inaphyt

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Death metal and its permutations. Heavy, heavy nods to black, doom, prog, etc. though!

I think thats a matter of opinion. congratulations on being "one of them". and by "one of them" I mean 98% of this board.

According to this poll, over 10% of this board consider Grincore as one of their favourite sub-genres. I think you majorly overestimate the hatred of grindcore.

Also, on another note, grindcore is nothing but noise.

Grindcore is not easy to digest for even many metal fans, just like Emperor is impossible to digest for nearly all pop music fans. By saying it is just noise without giving it a decent amount of time to soak in (which you cannot have done and still retain an uneducated opinion on the matter) you are being no different than the very people who say metal is noise and classical is boring, yet cannot seem to get enough simplistic radio music.

No offense intended, you just don't understand grindcore. Change that; it is an amazing form of metal.

 

[Astrum]

Priest > Maiden
Glam > Power

No


No

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

death and black > everything else

I agree to that.

 

[IronPriest]

Hard to pick just one, I hop around a lot from day to day. I get in moods where I listen to a lot of Viking Metal or any kind of Nordic influenced music, I've been addicted to Ensiferum latley. Then I might jump back to some old school stuff like Maiden and Priest, then to some At The Gates or Vital Remains or Blind Guardian...

That's what I love about Metal, you never have to stray away from it, there's so many Sub genre's for whatever mood your in...

I listen to a lot of Yngwie too... Love his Concerto Suite for the Electric Guitar album...anyone who hasn't listened to it has to check it out if they are an Yngwie fan.
