"I found my penguin..." Well I am very, very, bored. So here's a nice little metal thread.
Recommendations, discussion, debate, or just random chit chat. This thread PROBOBLY won't get too much attention. But once again; I'm bored, I don't care. =]
That means we discuss metal bands here. Now just what is a metal band? Well first off I suppose we should start off with what a metal band ISN'T.
A metal band is not:
Slipknot
Korn
Marilyn Manson
Linkin Park
Rammstein
Evanescence
Soulfly
Hatebreed
Static X
Disturbed
Linkin Park
Rob Zombie
System Of A Down
Primus

Guns N Roses
KMFDM
Hawthorne Heights
Rage Against The Machine
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Mudvayne

Seether
Sum 41

You get the idea, just use your brain.
Now what IS a metal band?
I can't tell you - you'll just have to use your brain, a little sound judgment, and maybe some help from those of us who just know these kind of things. (Myself) =]
So maybe this will help you:
A metal band will be any band that finds itself able to trace its existence through the evolution of the 'metal genre' from Black Sabbath onwards.
Here are some examples:
Black Sabbath ---& Judas Priest ---& Iron Maiden ---& Helloween
Black Sabbath ---& Judas Priest ---& Venom ---& Slayer ---& Bathory
Black Sabbath ---& Judas Priest ---& Venom ---& Slayer ---& Death
