The Metal Alliance!

Ok so I would imagine there are plenty alternative music lovers out there. Who likes metal? I use metal as an umbrella term btw, Deathmetal, metalcore, thrash metal, whatever! If you're into it, tell us about it.

    I didn't say they had any heavy shit, I basicly said that ALOT of it is just generic pop/rock with a slightly off-putting following of people in silly cloths.

    People really need to let go of the 'Nu-metal is shit and full of sellouts' view, It was just about true up till about 2002 at the latest, when it was popular but people moved on, Nu-metal bands are just as under-payed and overworked as everyone else and they have just as few fans as anyone else in the world of metal.

    You might also take time out to notice that Chimaira stormmed into the world as part of the Nu-metal scene =p Maybe consider that before saying how they're all sellouts hehe.

    Usually new things arn't as great as the old. Such as a "part 2" of a movie, or if the character is played by another actor it kills the feeling of the movie, likewise towards a new singer replacing the previous one.

    I'm really liking Rammstein just now, anyone else dig the industrial germans in all of thier sweaty chested glory?
  • Eric

    ..I totally love Rammstein. Even though I dont know what they mean I know the lyrics of my favourite songs. I have all their albums too. Most fav are: Ich Will, Feuer Frei!, Ohne Dich, Reise Reise, Amerika.
  • Eric

    ''the overt gayness weirds me out... ''

    ..lol :P thats part of their image as sadomasochists.
  • Dom

    I can't say I'm particularly 'into it' either but they certainly don't seem to take themselves too seriusly so it's all a good laugh.
  • Eric

    ..yeah you know the creed where metal or germany is in a sentece, beer all around!
  • Dom

    Then seeing as you just said both of the afore mentioned words in a sentence; Beer me!
  • Ace

  • Dom

  • Dom

    Looks like we've broken into the top 5 groups. We're now on a par with ska he-he-he.
  • Dark Syra

    Awesome!! but what happened to everyone else, its always either us 4.=[
  • Dom

    Sadly, as is the case with most of the 'groups' on here, people seem to just join them and forget about them. Shit, even I do, I only really pay any attention to this one because i created it haha.
  • Eric

    ..lol I often visit just to watch the vids again. I don't post nothing cause I like them :P
  • Dark Syra

    Eh people are people....=\ but I have some exciting news(at least some excitement) Well its been a rough year for me this year and indeed the past other 3 1/2 but within that time my mum did not have a job which made it VERY hard for us, and depended on grandmother who just passed April,13th (very painful ='[ ) so we were in a terrible predicament. Well she finally has a job so now we can get back on out feet!!!! not to share my life or down people or anything but I just thought I might wana share some news..=D Uber stoked!!
  • Dark Syra

    Lol. Its tough, I have alot of things to consider helpful job wise, not that it would be easy to get. I could work at a candy shop like See's candy, or Hooters, Hot Topic ( =\ ) photographer, The local news paper..etc. Have you tried a record store, or clothing place????
  • Dom

    That's the worst part about applying for jobs, if you take the time and effort to send an aplication or even just to phone and enquire, the company should always give you an answer. Even if it's just an email or somthing to say 'Thanks but no thanks.' It's just bloody rude what places seem to be doing now, I'm having the same problem.
  • Dark Syra

    yea thats how it was with my mum prior with the job, but "found alternative means" ?
  • Dom

    Oh you naughty boy haha. Anyway, how are we all today?
  • Dark Syra

    lol I work on the corner from 7pm to 2am lol jk
    Im tired as hell and need a wicked nap
  • Dark Syra

    lol
  • Dom

    My pick of that lot is Alestorm, probably not for the uberheavy crew but they play some great live shows. They're actually from a town not 10 miles from where I sit now. Yaar, had many a long night in the tavern with those scurvy rats! Theives and blagards every one of 'em!
  • Dom

    Aye Ensiferum are pretty good, Like alot of thier stuff, good driving music haha.. I recomend Captain Morgans Revenge, but it's all good. you might fancy a look at some of the demos and stuff from when they went under the name 'Battleheart' The newer stuff has better production values though, those guys worked very hard to get signed and they fucking deserved it.
  • Dom

    Oh please, not again..
  • Eric

    ..sweet choice! thats heavy! Ministry rule. Joey dont go there again please.
  • Brian A. Moum BAM

    Almost like people killing what you like most because they made it overrated and such, so its slightly different in one's eyes. But that never means some subjects related are all the same seldom altering that label (like genres of music). Take Twilight for instance; I hear some or almost nearly everyone I know or don't know say " I remember when hardly anyone heard about Twilight before it was popular, those were the days I was obsessed but unlike these overobsessed noobs, now I see everyone obsessing over it wearing those idiot Team Edward or Team Jacob shirts or the Characters, everyone carrying the book around, bloody stupid grils shreaking and jumping like monkies over Edward and them, or hyperventilating and nearly dying of a heart attack just because they are watching the movie in theaters for the first time! All that just makes me sick!!" I hope I made a clear point, assuming you all would get it anyway. =|
  • Dark Syra

    Haha! and indeed, the movie left out many important things leaving the film somewhat..epmpty. It sucked even more because when I went to see it, some of the girls there were so very annoying! Shreaking, hyperventilating in my ear! ugh......but for me I love music no matter what and I cant see why others just won't leave other people alone with out judging oneanother just because you listen to this genre and this genre or this genre etc. Its sad. Im an international music lover...I become lost in its wonders.
  • tofu

    maroon 5. wow. i see what you mean though. most of my friends listen to alot of metal, and i don't listen to much, and most of what i do listen to is nu-metal. and than they automatically assume i ONLY listen to nu-metal and yeah...it gets annoying.
  • Dark Syra

    Ja pure torture. But that is funny, und I as well have my own prefrences like everything from Dream Theater to Dropkick Murphys or The Clash. Und I agree the Pantera is the greatest, its just that some bands, I'd prefer not to mention, are just...what's the word...chaotically monotonous( confusing und headache producing)only depends. But hell, what is'nt anymore...though there are exceptions. =P
  • tofu

    as soon as i read the words dropkick murphys one of their songs came on. i almost shat myself. fucking itunes spirits.
  • Dark Syra

    LMAO* falls out of chair*
  • Dark Syra

    Um, I think my ears are bleading......o.O"!

    emo music bad, I can't stand it, but it just isn't the music i can't stand. It's those fucking windmill arm throwing wannabe moshers, but to afaid to get hit bastards. I have seen moshers watch these kids in disgust. They want to go over and drop them, but they are just so amazed how fuckin ridiculous they look, even though moshing can be a little ridiculous, though i luv it, well i am done ranting on emos
