Metal Genre Music Discussion

[The REAL Glasers]

There's a problem, though, in that they don't fit into any of the subgenres of prog nicely either.

Fuck it Tool is Toolcore.

Prog Rock is a genre.....

Man, if there's something I hate about Heavy Metal is the way everything needs to be it's own sub-genre. I know, it's not just a Metal thing but we do seem to take it to another level..

Not really. Have you ever dove substantially into Punk, Folk, and the many other kinds of Rock? It just seems so redundant with Metal because all of the subgenres have Metal at the end of their names.

Prog Rock is a genre.....

Yes, and basically every band inside of it can be grouped into a subgenre or scene. I can't put Tool anywhere.

Perhaps that's just because you don't want to.

[Demen 2]

Tool is prog metal.


Cry about it.

No, sorry, I've tried.

Well, if you don't listen to Metal, then you can easily come to that conclusion.

Actually, you're partially correct.

I don't listen to much of the Extreme metal I used to. Though I do know that Most of Tool's stuff is Progressive Metal. I'll give you Opiate and Undertow.

So, you're comparing this to this...?

[The REAL Glasers]

Because genres can't evolve.

There's actually a lot of similarities between them.

That's true.

But there are also a few key differences.

Power Metal; Sabaton, FTW

"Enter Sandman" by Metallica is pretty good. It's really the only song I know and like by them.

You're missing out on a lot then. It's a good song, but nowhere near their best. Try the songs Fade To Black and Master Of Puppets - those are true thrash metal masterpieces.

I think I've heard ''Enter Sandman". I agree, that's an awesome song. (Yes, I know I'm responding to an almost 6 month old post.)

I still don't really listen to much metal, unless you count Black Veil Brides, and even with them I don't listen to more than 3 or so songs.

Metalcore. Me personally, I don't find much wrong with the repetiveness.


Though some of the lyrics annoy me.

[Wikipedia and Universe]

Tool is prog metal.

Cry about it.

Love the lines from Lateralus in your sig. It was actually Lacky's flag that inspired me to get back into Tool.

Black Veil Brides is to Heavy Metal as Avril Lavigne is to Punk. I mean, sure they've got the guitars and the looks but they've just got no soul.

Black metal is probably the best metal genre. Which makes it the best musical genre in general.

Am I right, or am I right?

I disagree, I've never liked extreme metal.

Nope, Post-Hardcore.

You wouldn't be right, even if I did agree.
