@himadri, we are talking rock here...

well if you'd been clear in your earlier post & specifically talked about metal & rock genres, i wouldn't even have posted...but you did say "metal has some of the the most talentd artists out there in all genres put together" which compares all genres in all aspects ranging from vocalists to musicians.this is why i brought forth the comparison.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

@ wisecrab abd prasath : what about their album "minutes to midnight"? It wasnt nu-metal !

Ya its their first non-Nu Metal album....i think it belongs to classic rock or somethin....don know precisely wat genre it belongs to....in the original album CD, which I bought, they've mentioned tat this is their most hard-worked album!!!! ....anyway i didn't like it as much as their previous albums like Hybrid Theory & Meteora

I'm a die-hard LP fan during the hybrid theory & meteora era, Infact my 5-yr old e-mail-id is prasath.linkinpark@gmail.com ...............everything changed with Minutes to Midnight...........

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

perhaps i shouldn't even be posting this(since i'll be badly criticised anyway..he he) but i listen to bands such as- Muse, Rise Against, Rev Theory, Alkaline Trio, Keane, Stone Temple Pilots, The Smashing Pumpkins etc..i don't think these can even be classified as rock.


Start Killing me now...

Hey come on!Muse,Smashing Pumpkins,STP etc are great bands.They are any day better than some crappy metal and glam rock bands.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

before continuing the argument people need to learn the different genres and bands that come under them

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

i hope you realise rock and metal are 2 entirely different genres [/QUOTE]
So What do you call Black Sabbath?Please do not confuse poor souls like us with your super acurate classification of music,specially rock music.

Currently it is not dying...
But all of you have to remember that cultures change and the new generation will have new tastes... One day or the other rock will die and there is nothing anyone can do about it

Like I give a ****. I don't care what that kid living in the next house is listening to. I will listen what I want to. I have the music with me and nobody can take it away.

your sorry brains would do well to grasp that sabbath was the first band who can be considered in the 'metal' genre.Though i couldnt care less about them

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Well, let me be true and say that I like LP and Green Day. And I have just started listening to Metallica, Nirvana and Finger Eleven.

I know what LP and Green Day play can't technically be called Rock (may be Punk Rock, Alt Rock, Nu Metal or something).

Well I have been thinking there must be a lot of great Rock and Metal bands out there. But just didn't know. Well, I got to know about a lot of bands here. Thanks, all of you mates for sharing your preferred bands!

So, let me listen to them now, increase my Rock knowledge and become a 'true' rock fan!!

And as for the original topic of this thread, well I would like to say...
The 'Rock and Metal' were here even before the man existed on this planet. And don't worry, they will remain here even after human extinguishes.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

before i start.plz move this to the fight club section

I understand that most of you are kids who still j*** off on anything "cool" so i'll try not to reason with your teenage delusional hormones or worse with your inherent poor music taste.here we go

A. Linkin Park rejuvenated the nu-metal genre and every real music fan must respect hybrid theory for that.

B. Rock/Metal isnt dead.its just that your urban *sses have been too lazy to dig it coz you're too busy trying to impress people on facebook or watching reality mtv with your buddies

C. hannah montana and the other stuff mentioned is for the disney audience.and you cant deny anything that makes kids happy.you need to be tolerant kid;especially in our country.

D. somebody mentioned post-rock.great going dude.p-rock super ftw

E. @himadri_sm dont listen to everything you get.plz understand the music.you've got some worthwhile artists

F. Most guys everywhere listen to a load of crap with some diamonds in the rough without realizing the irony in their music taste.i don't condemn any of them but i do know that most of them do it for the cool factor which imo is absolutely stupid.

G. Metal which is known to general public is 90% pure unadulterated sh*t.and most bands comprising of the remaining 10% have a lifespan of 1/2 good albums.If metal is your instinctive choice then the sub genres are the ones which really fuel the metal elite.by sub genres i never mean to talk about thrash,symphonic black or some of power metal

I know most of you guys take music as escapist entertainment from your "burdened and busy" lives but if you fail to realize that,music can never die or that mainstream music getting to you is because of your own insecurity,then my friends you can never enjoy good music which is as ethereal as the smell of (music)n00bism on your bodies

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

You people SERIOUSLY need to have a crash course in genres. I'm not good at it, but confusing metal and rock as "one" is mega

Secondly, who in the world says "M3t@LL RULEZZZ??" Strange lads them, classical comes first IMO, talented bunch always present in classical music. Next is metal.

Ranting against LP and LB is pure bullcrap. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE. It's because of these guys that metal is having my followers now, once in, they move on to better stuff. My own brother gave LP a run in, and like me, is now listening to thrash metal now. So by ranting against it, you are creating hypocrisy. Yes, its not good anymore, but I'm sure I would recommend it FIRST if anybody asks "How did you start listening to metal?"

Agreed, better artists are there, and LP isnt great. But I doubt whether ANYONE would've dived head first into Bodom or Kreator

Finally, I reitterate. ROCK AND METAL ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. And neither will die. If the OP feels so, he doesnt know where to look.

Listen you arrogant prick,it is not only Sabbath but Zeppelin and Purple also started this new movement,and metal was and is still considered as a subgenre of rock.Now bands like Judas Priest,Motorhead came in,removed the blues influence and introduced some punk into it.Then came the NWOBHM,Maiden being the pioneer.It was the time when metal became extremely popular.
I grew up with all these bands,so you do not have to think about my sorry brain and my knowledge of music and metal to be precise.Just do not confuse others with your meticulous classification of rock and metal,keep it to yourself.

^kid you read that on wikipedia or some "metal" docu.no movement was started by them.their mellow take on the real underground movement made them famous

If this is sarcasm than lol

If not sarcasm than please take out my name. I don't know anything. I suit to myself. People around me call my musical taste garbage and some of them even call me crazy because my playlist has a Necrophagist song followed by a Rachminov composition followed by A.R. Rahman's Behene De.

And yeah I do know a bit about metal cause I really like that genre in whole except nu-metal, alt metal, metalcore and deathcore.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Nothing was really wrong with rock rap or nu metal,infact Aerosmith did it way back with the epic Walk This Way. Bands like Rage against the machine and korn were the real pioneers of this genre.Bands like Bizkit simply destroyed the movement.Linkin park was nothing more than a boyband,even bizkit were better,they had the great guitarst Wes Borland.
