I'm a big Metal fan. I like the classics, like Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Motley Crue, but new stuff as well, like Wolfmother and Children of Bodom.
I'm a big Metal fan, too. *spin* *spin* *spin*

Get the Metal Fanmug. A seemingly pointless, and totally stupid variation on the term "GRINDCORE".
Apparently Metal fans would like to forget/deny Grindcore's connection to the Hardcore Punk scene of the 80's all together by needlessly tacking on the word "METAL".
Grindcore is Grindcore, period... There's no denying it's Thrash Metal connections, but "Grindcore Metal" is just stupid. "Death Grind" seems much more appropriate than the needlessly-long "Grindcore Metal" title, which doesn't even make sense...
Metal snobs, stop trying to hijack Grindcore!

GRINDCORE: Mid-to-late-80's Napalm Death, most Agathocles, early Carcass, Warsore and so on.
Grindcore Metal: Uhhh.... ????????? I dunno, Dying Fetus? They aren't bad, but they're considered "Death Grind"... What the f**k is "Grindcore Metal"?

Get the Grindcore Metalmug. A douchebag who insists that any band you mention that is not Black Metal, Death Metal, Folk Metal or Power Metal, sucks ass and is not metal at all. They'll often bombard said band with immature insults such as: "They make me want to eat my own cock and vomit."
Bands they prefer are almost always obscure and come from Scandinavia. They hate all bands that are popular. The only Thrash Metal band that is tolerated by Metal Elitist is Iron Maiden. The rest isn't even metal.

Random guy: Hmm, favorite metal bands? Pantera, Fear Factory, Crobar...
Metal Elitist: Oh my god, your list sucks fucking bloody rectum. Shit isn't even metal. Weird Al Yankadick can make better metal than those bands. Besides, all that shit is pop-rock, you fucking twit! I'd rather have tumors in my scrotum and my gooch than to listen to Bell's crying again.

Get the Metal Elitistmug. When one pushes the gas pedal to the floor, making the vehicle burst to its highest possible speed. Generally done on straightaways or during drag races, accompanied by a burnout.

Get the pedal to the metalmug. Subgenre of metal that is mostly characterized by heavier detuned riffing and complex rhythmic compositions diversifying itself outside the blast beat ridden thrash metal predecessors. Vocals changed over from the raspy throaty vocals of thrash to gutteral roars. Early influences include Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Death (considered one of the first death metal bands). Later death metal bands incorporated detuning from standard tuning (for their guitars and bass guitars) for a heavier sound as well as influences from jazz/fusion for multiple time signature changes, start and stop tempo changes etc.

Get the Trash Metalmug. A subgenre of death metal with strong roots in Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Finland. It is similar to folk metal in the aspect that it heavily utilizes melody combined with instruments such as the accordion, panflute and harp, along with deep operatic backing vocals to achieve a medieval atmosphere. Lyrical content deals with Viking culture and a Norse outlook - the belief that the only way to gain passage into Valhalla in Asgard is to die in a grand battle or adventure. It also shares subject matter with power metal, in that it deals with legend-esque things like warriors and dragons. Adversely it can be seen as power metal's opposite, as power metal deals with knights and heroes using neo-classical undertones where the protagonists of viking metal are swarthy and violent, almost barbaric.
Though viking metal is dark and grave in nature much like black metal, artists and fans of this genre tend to have a positive outlook - unlike screamo and gothicism, it's not themselves they hate, but everyone else.

Some good viking metal and folk metal bands include Ensiferum, Bathory, Amon Amarth, Folkearth and Finntroll.
