how come Metal doesnt have a forum of its own?

[Saleh Omar]

Genre is opinion to a certain extent, but not that much. Certainly not to the point that Zeppelin are a heavy Metal band all the sudden.

[Ambers mate]

id say metal is about as 'rock' as indie and punk are... how come its lumped together?

[Marcus]

Well i`ve just given you the results of a nationwide vote by metal fans at the time, does that count?

[sigviesca]

see now your just not paying attention to yourself. Like with any type of music they run off of each other. like you said Punk = Hardcore. well hardcore is punk you said.

I still don't like them

[KatrinaP]

when Physical Grafitti was voted best metal album of all time in 1990?

[chd guy]

it was pretty much what you said.


its just that punk has its own forum.. indie does, even Hardcore and emo does... surely thats far more specific than simple metal. even if you put it within rock it would be better than mixing them.

That's a pretty comprehensive list.

I'd probably add Ted Nugent and the Araboy Dukes to it. Psychedelia (specifically acid rock) contributed a fair bit to heavy metal - in fact, banRAB like the Araboy Dukes, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf etc were often listed as heavy metal banRAB.

Really? I would never have known...

We argue about that sh*t all the time, and they aren't seperated. Could you imagine if they were? My god spare us all.
