![]() There are still good musicians now a days but the best years are behind us for good music. Today's music is mostly made by rappers that bark into the mic. Pop artists today are created in a lab like a test tube baby. They look for "pretty" people to form a group with the purpose of making as much money for the studio as they can.
The vast majority of artists now a days can't play any musical instruments and they don't even write their own songs. They just sing the songs the manager puts in front of them. All their best work is in a studio under optimal conditions with producers sweetening the music so it sounds good on CD. When they have to sing in a concert either they sound like shit or they lip sync their songs. Its mostly hard rock/metal artists today that still write their own songs and play their own instruments. Things started turning to shit musically when rap took off with the young kids (early 2000's). I'll admit I do like some hip hop artists like Eminem and Snoop Dog. Overall thou "RAP IS CRAP". |

![]() Karmafan pretty much summed up my thoughts on music today.
I like some of the older rappers like Dre, Em & Snoop, Beastie Boys..etc. but the last generation of rappers are either horribly untalented or just using it as a stepping stone to get into TV or movies, and there ain't a "gangsta" among them IMO. Though I would argue that pop artists have always been disposable. |

![]() You know what Cannibal Corpse does to rap artists. They Make Them Suffer.
If you don't listen to metal, George Fisher will chew your head off! That's reason enough to listen. |

![]() Metal music was the genre that made me turn to a regular listener. To specify, before metal music, I'd basically hear various songs, really nobody shaping my flavor. Just pick out some songs, but I'd say I was fairly into rap music the most at the time. In high school, 2007 to be specific, I met a guy who I thought was a woman at first. He'd become a best friend of mine, for a few years. We chatted via AIM and he had a thing for metal music. He specifically liked the metalcore bands in Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium, also some more gothic metal/pop bands in Lacuna Coil and HIM. I was a sponge, just taking in what he wanted to share with me. Specifically, the first actual metal band I listened to, that he shared with me, was Megadeth. I can even tell you the song...
Between September 2007 and late 2008, I took whatever band he suggested, as well as some non metal projects from a friend of his, who became a friend of mine. This guy was an actual bassist, a very passionate bassist too. So he shared music that influenced him: Red Hot Chilli Peppers actually being the biggest influence. So through him I got into that band, and a guitarist by the name of Buckethead. Learning about music downloading through Rapidshare, I was able to pick out bands for myself, as we regularly hung out at a mall that had a Hot Topic and Spencer's store. Both stores happened to sell metal related merchandise. Hot Topic sold stuff from bands such as Iced Earth and Cannibal Corpse. Really, my friends didn't really know those bands, or enjoyed them. So I took it upon myself to learn of the bands. Things progressed through bands such as Manowar, Helloween (originally recommended by the best friend, but he only showed me Kiske-era), Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, etc. The tide turned where I got to thinking of musical tastes for myself, rather than taking recommendations. I had an idea of what I liked, and felt that I made myself like certain entities, to be cool with the guys. So as time passed by, I kicked all "core" related bands to the curb, including Trivium. Metallica was a band that a different friend really enjoyed and me and him would agree on their newest album at the time (Death Magnetic) to be "great." I can listen to it again, and in all honesty, it sucked. The whole year of 2009 saw me take in the mediafire sensation in music downloading, and a website, metal-archives. I still regularly visit that website, since I like to get as much bands as possible. From then to now, I basically learned my likes and dislikes, as well adding some likes that I probably wouldn't even touch. For example, I avoided black metal music like the plague in 2009. 3 years later, it's night and day. The people I associated with during all this were more of the "anti-authority" side, and metal and punk music was the consensus material to listen to. So I took metal music at first as a way to be all "rebel" and be cool amongst friends. Now I just take it for fun, especially when there are many sub-genres that I've taken a liking to, hence really never growing tired of the big umbrella. |

![]() actually it depends... many of these metal bands really just shout into the microphone and call it a song and don´t get me started with these emo "metal" bands ...haha
but there really some bands that even a "neutral" listener would like ... by the way the "satan fingers" were born when a kid tried to avoid the evil look of his grandma .... do you know the name of that kid?

Yep. ![]() THE GODFATHER OF METAL Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010 RIP) F^#kin EARDRUM BLAAAASSSTTT!!! But "the horns" were not born then; like many arcane or mystical symbols made with the body, it's origins are ancient. It was indeed a gesture in some culture that people believed could ward off evil, when superstition and the spirit world ruled the Earth. You know, because we are 'enlightened' now and the scientific method insists that we transcend all that, modern man - in civilizations like ours - has all but left all that hogwash behind. But I think this kind of societal evolution we are experiecing may hide some dangers, and that maybe some of us need to get back in touch with what might not necessarily be all a bunch of primitive beliefs and ass-backwards thinking. After all, we've just "opened our eyes" over what, the last couple of centuries? Man has walked the Earth for eons and eons... ![]() |

![]() Another great reason: cause metal bands can take stupid pop songs and turn them in a great metal hit, while stupid pop bands can't make the same:

![]() In a moment of boredom and self-sadism, make myself get a headache?
![]() I did the heavy metal on 10 when I was younger, had a terrible 80's hair cut and watched Headbanger's Ball, too. Now I have 20% hearing loss in both ears. Worth it? Sure but I'd love to hear my porn a little better, though. |
