Does anyone else listen to real metal?

right on.
Have you heard the new album by Haste the Day called dreamer?

Not whiney at all, I think it's a VERY well put together album, they did a good job on it.

I have, its Meh to me. Same with Devil Wears Prada's new album, I think Dear Love a Beautful Discord is MUCH better than plagues.

But the double bass isn't that impressive and the guitar riffs are simple for people to play now.
Learn to play the into to Alaska by Between the Buried and Me, now thats original

lolorz.

the drummer from quo vadis and amon amarth are beasts. peronally , i dont think just anyone can rock double bass like you say they can. especially for a 7 minute song. and if they are so simple to play now , why doesnt everyone have them?

i do listen to some of the bands listed above and agree that today the music is alot more technical( haste the day, parkway drive, blessthefall, as i lay dying) i just dont consider that metal for the most part, more like a mix of post hardcore/ metal.

Agraceful

MyChildren Mybride

Attack Attack! (screamy, but **** they put on a good show)

Four year strong, not exactly metal, but fun as hell!

Everytime I die

Between the Buried and me

Sky Eats Airlplane

Emarosa

Dance Gavin Dance

Destroy the Runner

Inhale, Exhale

Underoath?

I agree with that statement.

Most of the stuff I listen to is considered "Hardcore" or "post hardcore" music. Stuff with technicalities and breakdowns i just don't think is metal anymore.

I would consider the most Current metal stuff nowadays like...Bullet for My valentine.

That's not metal though, not at all. I respect what they did, and it did carve the way for what we have now. But I honestly can't stand to listen to any of those bands you mentioned.

so because you cant listen to them anymore means they are no longer metal? ....well if you want real "metal" hardcore shit. If it wasnt made in norway its not metal. If a member of the band has not burnt down a church or been arrested for hate crimes, not a metal band.

True.

Take a listen to the new A Day To Remember album called homesick. It has ALOT of singing, but most of the breakdowns are disgusting in it. Some people either love them or hate them.

That is the type of sound i consider metal, it may be a throwback to older metal sound but its what pumps me up, but like i said, to each his own.

Werd. BFMV is a great band and they put on some GREAT shows. Good choice.

If you've got a decent system, play "entombment of a machine" and grab your nuts, cause that shit hits

Hey bunker,

Not to pull the whole religious card, but you're a follower if i remember correctly right?

I LOVE the way alot of these bands can send out the message the way they do. Standing in front of a secular crowd and SCREAMING their beliefs.

Love it.

ugh.

most of the crap that was listed i wouldnt even concider metal. its like hard punk rock. or maybe NU-metal. and its funny how most of it is either on guitar hero , or rock band. maybe thats why the assumption is made that everyone can play it....when its on a ****ing video game.
