Why is metal not considered a part of the main stream music ?

[MetalheadGautham]

^^YOU started the thread and hence its YOUR job to click the report button of the first post and ask this thread to be moved to the mothership

^ok

 

[NucleusKore]

What is your definition of mainstream? It's mainstream as far as I'm concerned

Well Paranj

lemme tell u ..evryone has got their own taste
So when my frnds say "ye kya dhai dhai sunta rehta hai ? " I say to them F**k you


Only some people like us have the power to enjoy the beauty of metal whatever form it is Death, industrial, Nu, Black, Thrash etc etc

I am a big big fan of Rammstein ..Just listen to them ..read their lyrics translation frm herzeleid.com and u will feel in heaven..Read my blog *musicworld15.blogspot.com for more recommendations ...

but I dont listen to metal everytime..I listen depending on my mood. I listen to every type of music like love songs ,ghazals (Jagjit, Ghulam Ali, Mehndi Hassan),kishore da, Mohd rafi, hindi,english,rock,pop, spanish and german music

I mostly listen to metal when I am feeling angry/depressed/frustrated or sometimes I wanna

My choice of Songs :


1. All Rammstein songs
(Spiel Mit mir, Feuer Frei, Engel, Du reischt so gut, Mein Teil, Heirate Mich etc etc)

2. Hallowed be thy name (Cradle of Filth)
awesome when church bells chime..and all the screams ..eeeeeeeee

3. Iron Maiden like Fear of the dark, The Phantom opera etc etc

4. Dirthouse , Speedway by Static X

5. Chaos AD by Sepultura

6. Metallica songs like cyanide, Sad but true, The God that failed etc etc

They rock !!

and ya IronMan has given lots of valid and hillarious reasons that why Metal is not main stream..

IMO the reasons :

1. Not everybody has the patience and power to listen to this genre
2. Metal is considered as Anti Christ
3. Its considered loudest music which ordinary ppl cant understand.
4. Listening and headbanging to it ..can break ur spine and head
5. It contains the most violent and gory topics like blood, g*y, incest relationships, cannibals etc etc so most ppl stay away frm it (although they dont understand lyrics)
6.Its considered as sign of distorted violent mind by Junta so...

But if u get addicted to it..there is no stress reliever like Metal ...

Hail METAL

@NucleusKore:-

I dont think so.... go ask a LP punk what is Metal... he will prolly say "An element ofcozzz..." or ask any random guy that "what or who is Metallica ?" and they will be like "whoot ??" but if you ask "Who is Madonna ?" ... they will be knowing the answer. Same goes for crap like Eminem, 50 Cent, etc.

Yeah, they've got to get back to basics and realise the fundamental difference between "shouting" and "singing in higher octaves" or "simply singing aloud"!

Ok.. I listened to Emien/50Cent/Black Eyed Peas/Akon/Hillary Duff/etc.... otherwise, worst music in the world. But now, I have deleted each and every song by them from my HDD (yup, even Eminem's 3Gb discrogaphy which I had ). BTW, awesome pic. And ya, I do listen to some Rammestein but dont like them much as their songs are in foreign language .

Well English is also a foreign language Paranj

You intend to make this thread dirty dont you ? (See the bolder and underlined words).

Now, now, this is getting dirty how the hell in the world u can say those things about Kishore, Rafi??

U like metal, go listen to 'em. We're not going to stop u. AND u don't have any right to tell us wat we should like or not.
We all listen to MUSIC and love MUSIC.
U r just a fan of SlipKnot, nothing more than that. Grow up, be a good listener not a FAN.

I actually meant that keep Rafi, etc du.... err, super musicians away from Metal thread coz then it will be offtopic and offtopic discussion is against forum rulez .

Felt bad removing such a nice picture, that too posted by a fourteen year old... but watch out KPower Mania you may end up corrupting some 16 year olds around here.

yeah Rammstein did some crazy things in that gig. Their live shows are better than their music. Seen that part where they drag around a man on a chain like a dog?

Metal is not my religion (I am into Industrial - particularly EBM and Darkcore stuff), although I listen to metal and I appreciate the music. Some bands I like include Nehemah, Kyuss and Moonsorrow. There are some good Indian metal bands around... listen to Devoid, my favorite - especially the track called black fortress. Also get hands on tracks by Drunksplit, Cranium and Rudra - the last is a vedic metal band with tracks like Aryaputra and Atman.

 

[esumitkumar]

Their live shows are better than their music

Yes and no ..Yes because their shows have a lot of energy..

No ....because "Have you ever read their lyrics translation in english" ? also have u ever gone to "Deeper meaning to Rammstein songs" post in herzeleid.com forum ?? If no, go there and then u will understand the beauty of lyrics and their music

Dude,
Thats derogatory
I like LP but then I also like Metallica, Megadeth, CoB
And I HATE 50 cent, Akorn (misspelt deliberately) and dont even get me started about Madonna

 

[IronManForever]

dont even get me started about Madonna

I luv Madonna. wtf? despite being in for too long, she got the tricks.

Anyways; you guys heard Lamb of God?

 

[Faun]

^^The one featured in SAW too

Walk with me in hell
Wake up the killer inside

Madonna is a hit by chance, though she is just loled up at singing.

 

[karnivore]

...Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Gojira, Children of Bodom, Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, Satyrico....

U listen to one n you've heard 'em all.

Current metal scene is very depressing, nothing new.

It seems the thread is about who knows most band names.
