A guitar tuning in which you tune the low e string to d. Often used as a crutch, but many bands use it well (see Led Zeppelin's "10 Years Gone"). But seriously, you could step on a guitar tuned to drop D and it would sound good.
Drop D is really useful if your just beginning to write, but as you advance, you should tune to something else to avoid your riffs getting old.

Kick ass local band out of Warwick NY. They label themselves as sci-fi death rock, closest to a punk/metal band. look up their myspace.

A guitar company that went from making quality guitars up until around 2002, when Neal Moser left. Now they make condnsed sawdust in the vague shape of a guitar.

A shitty alt. rock/post-grunge/nu-metal band with only one song to be proud of, Side of a Bullet, due to it's inclusion of an unreleased solo by the late, great Dimebag Darrel

First off: It's not a genre if it has one fucking band.
A term coined by slightly above-average gothic rock band HIM to make them seem more edgy to the 12 year olds who listen to them because Ville Valo has a pretty face. It has none of the common elements of classic metal, such as guitar oriented songs, technical solos with heavy blues influence, complicated drum tempos, their lyrics aren't even as dark as Black Sabbath's.

Love metal =/= metal. The only reason it's gained any recognition is because that douchebag Bam Margeraisn't creative enough to think of his own symbol to put in every room of his house.
