Am watching an awesome documentary right now on the history of the electric guitar... Smithsonian Channel is tits. Tons of stuff I didn't know, even non-music dudes will geek out. Very cool stuff. Highly recommended.

Electrified: The Guitar Revolution - Smithsonian Channel

By the way... I pay $170 a month for mega-pack-all-included FIOS. Worth every fucking penny.

Bringing it back! My kind of metal. Driving drums, a little splash of guitar and electronic filling in the rest.

Anybody in the Pittsburgh area like Chimaira?
My band will be playing with them February 5th. Tickets are $20 at the door, $18 Pre show... if you are interested, i can get you tickets for $10 each.

The Show is at the Altar Bar

It is Chimaira, Iwrestledabearonce, Fit For an Autopsy, and us.







We recently played with Otep and Stolen Babies as well... I would have posted it, but i forgot this thread existed. lmao

Oh, and if you Buy 2, ill give you a 3rd one free. lol
Thats 3 tickets for the price of 1.

This one just brought me back to the 90's. Love this song.

Heh didn't realize we had a metal thread. I was at that MDF with godflesh and electric wizard that was posted further up in the thread, it was excellent.

If you haven't heard godflesh, you probably should.

I just won the thread:

This is worse than standard Japanese pop music. So these chicks just run around and sing over a band playing generic metal rifts/drums? lol

edit: proper female lead vocalist:


Shit, i don't even like this band but at least it's more "real" than that fake ass japanese pop culture shit.

I thought death metal was all about being a 12-yo pop-star, singing about chocolate, and choreography?!

I would see Babymetal if they toured the US.


a proper female vocalist shouldnt should like every other screamo male vocalist with no talent.

a proper female vocalist, should have talent:





she shouldn't be the voice of Cookie Monster.

Ha, this popped up on yt for me:


I thought it was clever and well done.

I actually completely agree. I love nightwish personally, but arch enemy is FAR from screamo.

Anyways I guess my point is that those little japanese girls are the farthest thing from metal. Metal is about the band, not just the singer(s), and those pop vocals are a disgrace.

The videos you posted are indeed very, _\m/

no shit it's far from metal. it was a joke. :)

I'd still go see them. the music itself aint half bad.

WELL, THIS THREAD IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.

This, is fucking badass (imo):

I'll make some contributions into this thread tonight. Place needs some redemption after seeing iwrestledabearoncewithmyvagina. Currently jamming some Isis, although I'm mainly a proggy woggy guy. :dealwithit:

My deadlift/squat workout music. Origin is just unreal.

Edit: Still my favorite

Oh? What a very unmetal thing to say. Who made you the ambassador to metal? Everyone has different tastes in music. Not my cup of tea for serious listening, but I've heard a few of their songs that I enjoyed and found to be fun and different.

PS, FUCKING ORIGIN!!! ^

lol, dude it's pop music. I'm not saying it it's not catchy and whatnot, but in the first video you can't even see a band on stage. is there even a band? or are they singing to pre recorded music?

Edit: re-watched it, there is in fact a band. However they are basically behind the scenes jamming out with generic rifts while these pop singers prance around all cute like in the spotlight. Garbage.

We can put justin beiber singing over some metal riffs and call that metal too while we're at it.

That would be awesome! A real reason to send cops to kick his ass.

I'm not arguing that it isn't gimmicky and not traditionally what you would call metal, but it does have a metal component, even if it's generic. It's fun, and some of their songs are actually pretty good. I just think you are trying too hard to keep metal in this tight little box. I think it should be more open to interpretation and playing around with different sounds. A lot of my favorite metal sounds a bit out of the box.

And honestly, the two younger girls should go away. The older lead singer is actually not too bad for the music. All the two younger girls do it dance around and look cute and make unnecessary noise.

Ah yeah, i see where you are coming from. I guess i'm being too harsh, i'm actually pretty open minded with my metal usually. Anything from death metal to metalcore.

Anyways, i actually like this song (and this band, now with their new singer at least, bring on the hate). This video is pretty "out of the box":
