I love metal* and that was hilarious.

*Real metal, not the shite that passes for modern metal.

[MetalHead]

so how would you define "real" metal?

Bands like "Bullet for my Valentine" are not metal

Bands like KSE are - and Adam D is a nutcase.

Real Metal = Anthrax, NOT Warrant or Winger.

[MetalHead]

Anthrax were top, especially that track they did with Public Enemy, was mind-numbing at the time

Is it metal if people are just screaming and making unintellagable sounds?
Cause that stuff is annoying.

Depends. I'd need an example. There's over a dozen different genres of metal, nevermind hybrids and fusion genres, so depends what you mean. Generally yes it would be metal if they did what you said, but usually doom metal or gore metal.

Yes it is (annoying that is). Metal is Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Led Zepplin (very early metal) Deep Purple, BOC, Scorpions, Judas Priest and I'll even be genrous and throw in Guns N Roses and Metallica.

I don't know what they call metal made after the 1980's. I call it shite. If I want to hear growling I can fire up some Klingon scenes on youtube.

If I had any idea who they were I might be able to give you answer.

Let's just all go to a mosh pit at a Slipknot concert and then we'll all see what metal is!

[Tsukiyumi]

Slipknot, Mudvayne and Killswitch Engage are all modern metal; it's quite well done, and not all screaming or growling.

Meh. I've been at far more damaging concerts than what I suspect Slipknot would be like.

Your suspicions are correct. I didn't even get hurt when I saw Slipknot.
