Man, that's awsome you understand the greatness that is Motorhead. Almost all the kids into metal today don't even know who Motorhead are. IMHO, I think they're just as worthy of the "founding fathers of metal" title as Black Sabbath. The way I see it, Sabbath invented metal, Motorhead made it heavy metal. Yet inerestingly, at the same time, Lemmy insists to this day that Motorhead are "just rock 'n roll". They did some fine blues with "Whorehouse Blues" as well. imp:


I wouldn't count Arch Enemy or Dark Tranquillity as some of the "best" metal, but i'm a bit more conservative than most :stoned:

Yeah I understand where you're coming from if you're a real metal purist. But the way I see it, for what Arch Enemy does, they do it perfectly. It's just pure death metal, immensely skilled guitar, and solid vocals (angela gossow seems likeable and intelligent too).

As for Dark Tranquillity, you have to understand the Gothenburg style and how DT are revered as the creaters of the genre. I know Gothenburg has been turned into crap, macho assholes who sound like angry teenagers (IE Soilwork), but DT is the one band that really managed to keep it pure. Plus they have some incredibly catchy riffs.... but this is coming from me, who has DT among my favorite bands. and I'm really damn high, really really high, so I ramble lol.

Right now i'm listening to Death's Scream Bloody Gore album, fucking sick..

Can't say I'm crazy about the Death, but I can't deny Chuck Shuldners talent. I mean that guy has some incredible skill and a great voice... the style just doesn't really do it for me. Although "Sound Of Perseverence" was amazing, a couple of my favorite songs are from there including "Voice of the Soul" and "Story to Tell".
Gandalf_The_Grey Reviewed by Gandalf_The_Grey on . Why does everyone hate metal? I like mainly metal, heavy metal, screamo you know. Well i hate how everyone says that its not even music because its just screaming. Most people just listen to 5 seconds of a song and are like its screaming and i dont want anything to do with it. Its the best kind of music, its takes a lot of talent and the emotion in it is real. Classic rock is good too but i think that it doent have the emotion in it and i think it could be related to rap just because of the way they sing and what they sing Rating: 5
