I thought they were Hard Rock.... w/ever they are, they make some respectable music.

@manishjha18

Well, you need to see that not everyone listens to the same thing. Mainstream means whats "hip" and "popular", and metal does not fit the category. Nor does Symphonic music. Nor does Classical Music. But that DOES NOT mean that they suck. Only that a majority does not have interest in them.

Here comes the Metal. ..but what u feel abt it..do u also like Metal Music ?

 

[Desmond]

Maybe because not everyone is in Satan's grasp ;P

Come on, how is it that music makes you anti-christ? If this was so, there are many mainsteam music and songs that have anti-christ themes hidden in them. I do not mix religion and music. I just listen to music to enjoy myself or vent my frustration.

Metal ROCKS!!!!

Hell yeah I do. Look at my username

I prefer more melodious stuff though, like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, Anthrax, System Of A Down, etc.

I don't listen to Death Metal, nor do I listen to Nu Metal like Linkin Park.

PS: Example songs I like: Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt.1: The Miracle and the Sleeper, Metallica's The Day That Never Comes. Dream Theater's Dance Of Eternity, Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks, Stairway to Heaven and Kashmir, Metallica's The Judas Kiss and Bleeding Me, etc.

Rightly said....it's out of choice that I listen to Metal (and Western Classical too, not Mozart, Beethoven but other composers)
@paranj
Yeah I know you are pissed off that Metal is not as popular as Shankar Ehsaan Loy (Heck, Even I'm not)
But at least you are listening to the one of the best genres there is
So be Happy
and for those who dont listen to thm,
Screw them man...they dont know what they are missing

My my, that resembles my favourites as well. Though I never heard Dream Theater, Anthrax. How do they both compare to say Mettalica; differences? Similarities? Heard people say that Dream theater is real good?

Does this means people who listen to Pop are a bunch of brainless dumb asses?

To you, yes. I also used to think the same way till sometime ago. Now I'd say I love music rather than Metal. I respect Pop, Blues, cuz thats where I started from.
Not that they arent enjoyable IF they are good; only that my tastes have chnaged over time, which I'm sure yours have too; cuz you were a LP fan sometime before.

...
BTW Guys; I really love when black-metallers cover the songs of bands like Iron Maiden. Like Hallowed be Thy Name - Iron Maiden - Covered by Cradle of Filth.And plenty more. Its just gives a new aura to old songs(though Metal never gets old. ). What about you people?
