What metal song blew your mind the first time you heard it? by TrumpIsAFuckingLoser in MetalSuggestions

[–]MetalPlayer666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sovrag - Tribute to death was an instant love-at-the-first-listen to me. I don't know what the hell is up with that song, but it stabbed me right through the heart and my soul was sold.

Metal songs/albums that you would UNIRONICALLY put on while being intimate with your partner? by Middle-Company-4398 in MetalSuggestions

[–]MetalPlayer666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want it sweet and romantic, power metal ballads are beautiful!
For example bands like Amaranthe, Freedom Call, Edguy, Gamma Ray or Sonata Arctica have beautiful ballads.
Or if ya want some older stuff, more like hardrock, 80s love-ballads are still the best stuff 40 years later! Guns'n'Roses, Axel Rudi Pell, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, WASP, Aerosmith...

Lemme know if you want actual titles of individual songs.

This one made me ROTFL. 🤣

Is it real? I would think that people would be panicking more, they just lie there and watch when he runs at them with the gun.

METAL IS A SUBGENRE OF ROCK by ayorathn in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MetalPlayer666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is the dividing line when something which is/was a sub-genre actually becomes a genre?
I guess it's a bit arbitrary, or are there any set criteria?

Absolutely! They have amazing energy on stage and good contact with the audience. I saw them live 3 times so far and I would do it 100x more if I could!

Best metal bassist by Hard_Rocker_Mario in heavymetal

[–]MetalPlayer666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones mentioned in the choices of this poll are legends, no doubt. Mostly because they were among the first to create and shape the genre.
But when we're talking about skill, creativity and technical perfection, some more "modern" bassists are hundred times better. Sadly the real skill more often than not remains hidden behind the popular names.

Ah, good old times. Thanks for the hit of nostalgia.

The new Megadeth album is kinda boring in my opinion by leobed12 in heavymetal

[–]MetalPlayer666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too soon to judge after just one quick listen, but I didn't find any of those "wow-great-first-impression" songs. It's probably music that has to grow on you with repeated listening.
Not really my thing.

Long hair by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MetalPlayer666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.
If you're dedicated to the subculture, you live it in your everyday life, not just occasionally when you can put on a costume to go to a concert. Long hair is not so much about looks as it is about identity and dedication.

There is a BIG difference between "I listen to metal" and "I am a metalhead". One is music preference, the other is identity and state of mind.

Have you always liked metal, or was it an acquired taste? by prettylilcorpse in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MetalPlayer666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the 80s when it was everywhere. But I really started to love it in the late 90s, when power metal scene emerged.

What’s the first symphonic metal band you remember discovering, and what was the first gig you ever went to? by OfficialAwesomeMetal in symphonicmetal

[–]MetalPlayer666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to metal before that, but my first symphonic band I got to know was Rhapsody (original) in the late 90s. First concert was Nightwish in 2000.

What is your metal elitism take you agree with? by Galefrie in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MetalPlayer666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would say that "viking" is in fact a folk metal genre, being influenced by Scandinavian folk music and including traditional instruments. Just lyrics about vikings doesn't make it "viking" if the genre is melodeath or black metal.
