| amp316 said: Your listing for the pioneers is so wrong on many levels. Only Black Sabbath should be there along with others like Iron Butterfly and Deep Purple which you didn't list. Iron Maiden, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc. should be in a group 2 that doesn't exist on your list before your "transitional period" which consists of junk like Korn. My favorite metal would be from the Black Sabbath period and from the 2nd period after that which you include in the "pioneers". I also like some early death metal like Obituary and Cannibal Corpse. Everything from Korn on is crap. |
Calling everything post Korn crap is very close minded. I don't know if you are a musician or not...but if you listen to some of these modern bands and you hear of what they are doing musically, you wouldn't be calling them crap. It takes a lot of creativity to put a disco beat in to a metal riff...like Korn did on got the life, or to construct some of the downtuned riffs with high pitched harmonics that slipknot does.
I made 3 groupse because metal was on the rise since its birth in late 60's...hence group 1. Sure you had different genres of metal...but they mostly all shared the same fanbase.
Then in the early 90s it started to lose its self. New influnces were necessary to keep it alive and relevant...hence the transitional period. The fans of this music are very different from fans of old school metal.
Then post 2000 the old sound returned with the new influences provided by bands like Korn...hence group 3.
