why does everyone hate on heavy metal :))))

:redface: metal fans are the brunt of all jokes, i personally hate the fashion in the culture, so i wear normal clothing instead

the music is beatiful, passionate and technical, what more could you want?

'trashy' lol, most are consumate musicians and push to the limits of technicality whilst making it listenable, many have classical music training such as Chris Broderick.

Beatiful, passionate, and technical? It's ruddy awful! I would rather listen to copulating cats than to any genre with the word metal in it.

I don't constantly listen to heavy metal. There are some moments though when I feel so mad that I'd rather listen to somebody else scream some good s*it in my years than have to yell myself.
Edit: And the riffs. Sometimes the riffs bring all the magic
I wonder this. Most metal is automatically classed as all screaming all noise and resembling death metal (FYI I've nothing against death metal before anyone starts). They fail to see past this and find the more medolic sounds which are in many sub genres.

Everything. My head started to hurt after twenty seconds and I would become super angry and irritated if I had to listen to that for more than ten minutes, I assure you.

If it does not have the same effect on you, listen to what you want, but I am going to stick to classical, lounge, rock, electronic, etc.

there are plenty of metal singers who dont scream

Sebastian Bach is unbelievable at singing, listen to his singing in this song, especially that high note at 4:23

Metal does seem to get a lot of hate. The heavy stuff I can understand, but stuff like Iron Maiden should never be hated upon.

used to love maiden, i can see why people dont like them, their music hasnt aged too well with the operatic vocals etc.

Ah yes, I'm aware. I'm just saying that depending on my mood I'd listen to different genres/sub genres, and some tempered songs tend to be a good chill pill for me. Let it be more dynamic or a ballad, what's important to me is that a good tune can take my mind off some thoughts for a while ^_^.

And indeed, he's very good. :yep:
I've been actually looking to discover some new artists to listen to, since I have this bad habit of listening to a song/album that I like for so long that it becomes dull at some point.

All my favourite songs are ballads/sad songs. I get you, I listened to nothing but metal for 5 years straight every day lol. Now I listen to anything, hip hop, trance, rock, grunge, pop, you name it.

Im digging this song right now

Amazing technical ability sure but also bland, robotic and uninspiring.
