Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[maddhatir]

(I changed the title of this thread from Black metal to Hardcore metal. No metal discrimination here!)

.......I might be able to go over to the Teen Forums and find someone who does, but no thanks. OR post it on the CB and get bashed.....no thanks....

I am SO bored with the conversations on the CB. They are just not me.

Not into what problems kid's have with their teachers, my political/religious views are certainly not like others, so I steer clear of those threads, god forbid you have an opinion

I can count on one hand the Dis'ers that even know who Type O Negative, Pantera (Down), Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Slip Knot , Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy are....need I go on?

Anyone get psyched about Metal concerts, or just that a song you like is on the radio? Anyone listen to Sirius Hard Attack and love it? Can't live without it? Do you hear Ministry's rendition of Roadhouse Blues and freak out, while other's say....what the heck is that....? Do you find people strange who think American Idol music is................good?

Just wondering..... or maybe I am the weird one

, but I doubt it

.......

Just curious........

I still love my freaps and my CF peeps

Well, metal is kinda different from anything Disney, but no one has to be completely one-track, so it's cool.

I liked the 90's stuff - Metallica, mostly. I also watch Metalocalypse cause it's, you know, brutal.

Well, Madd, you know me. Die hard Knot fan and lover all of all things metal.
Of course I'm trash so what do I know
There's got to be more of us on here! Come on, where are you people? What shows are you going to this summer? You can't all be into Hanna Montana and the Jonas Brothers!

ETA: love the new line in your sig....let's all sing "I Am Hated"!

I can get down to some Ministry, Slip Knot, and Slayer, but my true musical love is more old school punk. I love me some Social distortion, and Minor Threat. I saw Godsmack, Flogging Molly, Five Finger Death Punch, Korn, Rob Zombie, and Lincoln Park last year, but they are not quite as heavy as you like.

But I respect some good old black death thrash scream metal

Do you find people strange who think American Idol music is................good?

Absolutely! Drives me crazy when everyone around me at work has that pop crap on their radios and they give me looks when they catch a little of Black Magic!

I don't make it to many shows anymore. It's definitely a different experience when you can actually buy the alcohol as opposed to having to sneak it in. Guess that's what they call growing up!

I have never watched one episode of American Idol.

But not much into metal either. More into the jam bands, the Dead, Phish, MMW, Phil, Keller, Umphreys.

I used to listen to that ALL the time when I was in high school(grad. '87).. Slayer was my favorite, and I saw them at least 4 times.. I loved Tom Araya! I was also a big Suicidal Tendencies fan. But I havent listened in a l-o-n-g time!
That doesnt mean I dont still like it though!

No! I LOVE Godsmack- (luv Sully! ) Rob Zombie and Korn are nice and crunchy! I love crunch! (That is how I descrive the music anyway )

I am not into Punk- they play a little one Hard Attack during specials and I just can't get into it. But I did listen though.

And I can't forget Marilyn

Going to see Type O Negative July 2nd!

Yes- I mentioed elsewhere that my poor friend's little girl had me lsitening to the Jonas Brothers on her IPod I said if the poor kid only knew what kind of music I was into she would probably run screaming.

But I just listened to her talk on and on about how cute they were

Hey Mayhem, I love the way the "normal" people look at the concert goers waiting to get into the venue for one of "our concerts- I think some of them want to cross the street b/c they are afraid we will attack! And to look at me, you would not have a clue I was into this kinda music- but I can see the looks they give other people.......TRASH! Who's callin' who TRASH!

Well, I'm not really "into" some of the bands you mentioned but I do listen to them. It can be very hard to help a band with gear when you don't know what they play. LOL Ministry, Type O, Dimmu, Behemoth Slip Knot, Testament, Slayer.....not to mention Flogging Molly, FFDP, Korn, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Bullet for my Valentine, Iron Maiden....... and then there are the pop and country acts I work with. I do prefer country myself but I can totally get into the head banging...and can I just say, Kerry King is soooooooooooo nice and so is Eric w/Testament....I love those guys. And Kerry was super nice, even when I was totally stupid and said "I'm Kerri too, with an I" ROFL!!!! I felt like such an idiot......LOL So ya, I love me some good metal and rock, the problem can be finding the GOOD stuff. LOL

good lord, I almost for Sully and Godsmack, one of my absolute favorite bands!

I can relate to that. I'll be spending another 4th of July picnic listening to a group of moms talk about dance class again. Makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Not that there's anything wrong with dance, but there's got to be more to talk about than that for 4 hours, you know?

I like a lot of the old stuff, I kind of mellowed out as I got older. Really into Linkin Park and the Foo Fighters. My 11 year old son is major into Metallica right now. I love that about him. No Jonas Brothers for us!

The deep screaming cracks me up, especially when mosh pittin occurs. I'm startin to like Tem Masked Men for they cover pop songs like Britney, Madonna, Christina, Coolio, Ricky Martin, and my most favorate when they cover "I'm Blue".

 

[maddhatir]

I, myself, like to refer to it as....growling.....

Don't ya just love it!? People who listen to the most brainless music ever look at YOU like YOU are crazy b/c of the music you listen too.............go figure......

Kerri, what actually is it that you do for the bands! That's pretty cool that you met Kerry King! He is one scary lookin' dude, but it does not surprise me that he would be a sweetie pie!

I love listening to some of the interviews on Hard Attack with the bands. They are hilarious and they all sound like just some guys you wanna hang out with and have a laugh!

Today I heard an interview with Vampire Mooose. I believe it was the lead singer who was saying how he is a foster father for kids, who's parents that he knows, that are going to rehab for drugs~~ I just thought that was so cool!

Well....you know the screaming guitar riffs those guys play? Ya, they get that stuff from me and my boss. The guitar picks they use that have their signatures/logos on them? Again, they get those from me. I've talked to tons of artists, from Eric Clapton/Peter Frampton to The Pretenders, to Tim McGraw to Hootie and the Blowfish, to Sammy Hagar to Pink, to so many others. I work for a major musical accessory manufacturer, my boss is the Director of Artist Relations, I'm the Assistant to the Director of Artist Relations. I have a pretty cool job. We make a lot of signature effect pedals and strings as well. You have heard our gear used and you may even know what company I'm referring to.

Kerry does look scary, but he's a big old teddy bear. Such a nice guy, Zakk Wylde too, he's really nice. It's so weird to me, these bad-a$$ metal guys are the nicest guys around, it's the Emo/Pop/Hip Hop guys you have to watch out for. LOL

So many people look at these bands and immediately think drugs, alcohol, sex and satan....well, I qualify for a couple of those and I'm just a regular person! (Madd says "no! you are very twisted and irregular! ) They don't know the real people, only what they see in the media, and are never willing to give them a chance. Alot of these guys to uber charity work, I know that for a fact. Alot of timies it's downplayed, at the bands request because they just don't want the pats on the back. They do it because it's what they like to do and they have the resources.
One up and coming band I really like is Facecage...another Des Moines, Iowa band. (What is it about bands in Iowa that always get me?)
I love the growling...gives me the tingles and makes me get all girly.
Amon Amarth is another one I love to listen to and watch. I have Headbanger's Ball on my DVR permanently and love it when these guys are on there, hair flying and growling, double bass drums just pounding. Ahhh gotta go put some music on and get my day started. Thank goodness I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have to worry about neighbors complaining of the noise! Shall we start with Dimmu Borgir or a little of the Knot? Defo going for the Knot!

No May- you are trash and JUNK! BTW- I made sure all your e-mails come through as non-junk for now on!

I would have told you to go for some Dimmu! I was crankin' lots of Type O this morning while running errands!

I have to get my hair cut on Thursday and I wanna do a little balck in my hair for the concert but I am afraid I will look like a dork- my hair is all blonde- I was thinking of maybe doing the underneath black? BUT there is a chich at my SILs shop (SILs owns it and free haircut snad color all the time!) anyway- I have know this gilr who has worked for her for years- I would say hello- and goodbye- BUT we saw her at the Dimmu concert a few months back and I had no idea she was one of US!

Her DH is in a band and she is so into black metal. I was going to ask her what I can do with my hair. Semi-perm of course, I am afraid I will not like it.

A few years ago I was just SICK and TIRED of all the blonde- so I sat in my SILs chair and said- I want it ALL BLACK! Needless to say, I was back in her chair with in a few weeks going back to all blonde- It just felt like it was not me when I looked into the mirror- so this time maybe I will do some pitch black pieces only.

Kerri- that is so great that you have a job you love! Not many people can say that- well, I can't anyway. I say I would like to be an actress or a stunt woman

Speaking of Zakk- that made me think, you know, I can remember when Randy Rhoads died! We knew Ozzy was going to be in Philly soon and all ears were on the radio to keep up with the concert news!
