At some point in Led Zeppelin's LZ II, I skip many songs because they get so agressive and mad... Like, it just ruins it for me, same goes for Deep Purple's "Deep Purple in Rock" album... I ain't saying metal sucks, but overdoing metal does.

u r quite mad..

Bla Bla whatever

Examples of Rock artists/groups: Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp, George Thoroughgood, The Pretenders, Nickelback, Creed, U2 etc, AC/DC.

Examples of Thrash/Trash metal : Slayer, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Slaughter, Panterra etc

Examples of Black and DEATH metal: Deicide, Sepultura, Crytopsy, Cannibal Corpse, Blitzkreig, Mayhem, Necrophilia etc

Wrong, Sepultura are a Thrash band and Maiden is Metal and Slaughter is Soft Rock

I don't like shit hop either, its pretty much the lowest form of recorded sound in my eyes, and metal is not far behind it. Most modern (Post 2000) music is just garbage.

But at that same time, scanning all my posts in threads about metal and heavier rock music, I have been abused by metal loving meatheads and if not that rap heads. That comes with the territory, you think on a prince site, you would be respected for your individuality, but no, people who have the hegemonic view that shrieky metal music and drug laden materialistic shit hop is great music hold sway over art and reason.

Yes the asylums have let loose the inmates. I answered the op's question over "What defines metal and rock music" I answered it and was shot down and lambasted by someone who I suspect is much younger and probably has a 2 digit IQ. Well so what, that's my opinion and I WILL NOT APOLOGISE FOR IT!

I know what Metal is, but that does not mean I have to like it. There are selected songs I like yes, but overall my tastes lean towards sung vocal artists, some rock music, accomplished pop artists like Prince and better quality R and B music.

As a proud and educated gay man, there is very little to engender me to the barely audible rubbish that fills up most hip hop and heavy metal/death metal songs and yes it can be homophobic, racist and anti semitic. That is not however the sole reason I don not like this form of music, but it is a large contributing factor towards it, and yes I know there are Jewish, gay, black and Christian rap and metal groups, but they are the extremes rather than the usual all white, all hate filled uneducated long haired drug taking yobbos in metal and over dressed, materialistic, sexist, cretinistic clowns that dominate shit hop music.

RANT OVER, I am what I am!

first off i was on my iphone. And made 2 typing mistakes... and after seeing your grammatical erros on the org you have no room to talk

Yeah I am really going to take criticism for my errors when you can't even spell the word error

Second i don't know why you're attacking me and being a dick. I was just saying not all metal is like that. And you say i have a 2 digit IQ for simply stating my opinion... in a civilized maner. Geesh you have issues man.

The Good old Org levelling machine is back in force, "Think the politically correct way of the opressed masses". Easily the most Amerocentric, socialist site on Prince on the whole internet.

Gunshalen, or whatever you call yourself, I am not apologising for my opinions or attitude and not backing down. Why is your view so much more valid than mine? because you think like a sheep. I am merely saying I don't like 99% of metal music and I consider it a low form of music compared to Brahms, Mozart, Opera or even early Led Zeppelin!

Same with shit hop, swearing at a taped in drum machine beat is not a form of music.

Also as far as errors, I speak British not American English words like civilized in your language are spelled "civilised" in our British English. Anyway I am aware of my terrible spelling ability when I type and employ the spell check, which should eliminate at least 90% of all the errors. Also unlike you I admit my faults.

Jeeze stop being so personal. Is it any wonder I know and are friends with at least 5 other Prince fanatics who have left the org because of this type of crap. I am close to being next, and believe me I will turn off the light when I leave.
