The best musical genre in the world. People think it's just a bunch of screaming and satanic lyrics, but they fail to see the true meaning behind metal. Not all of it is screaming, there is melodic metal too. And not all of it is Satanic either, there is Pagan, Viking, Folk, Death, Thrash, Glam, even Christian, and many other genres. Not just satanic metal. Also, some bands CALL themselves metal, when in fact they are just wannabe posers.
Metal: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God, Kataklysm, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Exodus.
Wannabe poser shit:
Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and Slipknot.

A vast music genre which can house, and satisfy all of the theraputic needs of any teenage spirit. Penetrating riffs, sub-level bass playing, ubercool machine gun drumming and in many cases beautiful lyrics.
Metal has the potential to cover any emotion, unlike other genres such as Emo, which can only cover whining, and loss.
Metal is emotion, motion, melody and RAW FUCKING POWER!!! All blended into one creamy mixture of aceness which in my eye, can rarely be matched by any other genre.

A sub-genre of rock music. Notorious for being heavy (hence the name, heavy metal), dark, and often deep pitched. The bass and drums are often played in sync while the guitar plays the main rhythm with riffs, licks, and chords. Stereotypic metal is often associated with darkness, destruction, pain, and Satanism. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the music mommy and daddy warned you not to listen to.
The father of metal, Ozzy Osbourne, bit the head off of a bat during the song "Bark At The Moon". THAT is metal.

best fuckin' music... ever - nu-metal excluded. While the slowly-dying nu-metal shit dominates the mainstream, real metal is still alive and well in the underground - especially metal bands from Scandinavia.
Dude, instead of wasting your money on shitty Roadrunner albums, you could buy some real metal from the following labels: Century Media, Nuclear Blast, Earache, Relapse, and Metal Blade.

Metal can only be described as the best genre ofmusic to ever hit the earth. Metal derived from the hard rock popular in the late 60s such as Led Zepplin and turned into Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper in the 70s. Continually accused of being Satanist and listening to Metal or wearing band T-shirts made people targets for police. More bands followed like Iron Maiden in the ealy 80s. Then Speed and Death metal came along when Metallica, Slayer and Megadeath showed up. In the mid 80s Gwar came out and took the stage show to the max with fake decapitations and blood spewing everywhere. In the early 90s (93-94) Melodic Death Metal bands came out of Scandanavia like In Flames and Children of Bodom. Then came along Nu Metal a.k.a Mallcore. Nu metal includes Slipknot, Korn Manson. System of a Down is slightly Nu Metal but more harcore punk-metal. Progreessive metal bands like Tool don't have the same style as other forms of metal but can still retain the heaviness of metal.
