Metal

[AndrewTooCool]

Why do they have to be such deep voices? I mean, I don't like that, I only like the beat. What is the purpose when I can't understand them?

We had a pretty big Metal Conference back in the 80's. Everyone was there, from Dee Snider to Bruce Dickinson to the brokenCYDE fetuses. We got pretty hammered and one guy said "Hey, why don't we get some bands to make incomprehensible growling noises? That way we'll confuse people who listen to it." And that is how growling in metal was born.

[franticfish]

what about incomprehensible high pitch vocals like Silencer...

I lol'd.

I lol'd more at the awful lyrics in your sig though.

[RidethePiggy]

I am made of metal...

We got pretty stoned at a different conference. And well you know the rest of it...

Those lyrics were written by a wonderful poet who was deeply, deeply hurt emotionally. A true Bob Dylan of our era.

this thread should be moved to the history of lock subforum.

I prefer a certain Mr. Durst. Now there's a spokesman for the people.

i'm never one to frown on a little nookie and breaking stuff certainly is a good ol' time, but the truth behind this statement is absolutely horrifying.

Durst is the poet laureate of our generation. His succinct and intelligent lyrics pinpoint the common ache of the modern youth.

Well for 1 thing, YOU are not the only person that listens to metal. There are other people out there that have gotten used to it. I thought the same thing at first. I got used to it after a while. And you can too.

Another thing, the purpose of metal is not the vocals and lyrics. I don't buy a Cannibal Corpse album to listen to the guy growl on an on about killing things. I buy it mainly for the instrumentation.

How does it feel to have made the first serious post in the thread and have it end up on the second page?

Anyway, Durst? Nah, Korn are a better representation of the people. Poets of our generation.

I'd just like to thank all the little people out there.

one serious post too many for this dirty nookie of a thread.

you serious? If anyone has spoken to the generation of broken teens that inhabit the earth, if anyone has Truly touched them and left their mark to give these lost souls hope.. it has to be Slipknot I mean People=Sh*t? genius poetic genius

I always felt that Slipknot's lyrics were too obtuse, deliberately trying to obscure their message beneath layers of post-modern wankery that, when stripped away, reveal a very limited worldview.

Hurr, hurr. If there is anyone who has felt the agony of love lost and the ensuing pain thereafter, it is Dani Filth. It would take a million tortured poets dissecting Nymphetamine (Fix) for a million years to truly understand the pain that Dani Filth has felt.

I mean, just look at this:



Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain....
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again


I feel Dani Filth speaks to teens on an almost spiritual level.

Filth's transcendentalism is all well and good, but Durst really speaks with the voice of the street; he speaks with the voice of the youth themselves, co-opting the language of the poets only as a channel for his universal axioms.

Are the lyrics in your signature purposely incorrect?

I had this really ****ty job when i was 20 working at a scrap metal yard. The first, and last, night I worked my task was to shovel a 12ft pile of cut-up and useless scrap metal into a garbage can, drag it 50 ft and dump into a pile. All that metal was too much for me to handle so I quit at the end of the shift.

While Durst grew up in the streets yo, Dani was raised in a cemetary.

Yes. No man can accurately type in the lyrics to that beautiful song without succumbing to it's fiery inferno.

[CCDaDon]

Sh- How could I have forgotten? Them metal lord of meaningful lyrics himself. Marilyn Manson.

[franticfish]

Marilyn Manson is wack yo, he dreams of being Dani Filth.

[MrFruitLord]

Hence my cult. It will grow, trust me, it will.

[citizenCERO]

I wish Trent Reznor would stop trying to rain on Manson's parade.
Everyone knows Manson is wayy cooler.

[AndrewTooCool]

Really?

[MrFruitLord]

Really?

Oh yeah, totally.

^ i lol'd "There's leather in my metal." This is very accurate to that run-of-the-mill Power Metal garbage.

I loved the 'we're fighting for sorcery, magic, forests and orcs... but mainly metal!' verses.
