General music thread

All of my friends play some kind of an instrument and you start to analyze the music in a different way. Megadave is just Dave Mustaine, Metallica has 3 good songs and the worst drummer of all time :P

Yeah, I'm a guitar player. And yes, MegaDave is what it is. Doesn't take away from how great he is as a player and how successful he's been by himself. Fuck, they are STILL shitting out records every 2-3 years and all of them have good songs on them.
As far as Metallica goes, I am a huge fan boy. I'm not going to get into why, I just identify with their sound and approach.
Not really a big time Metalcore guy. The growling thing never got my interest, and I don't like break downs all that much. Lamb of God and God Forbid are really fucking cool, but the rest isn't all that great IMO.

Guitar player myself as well. Metalcore has a broad range, most of it is shit ^^

Yeah I agree. Honestly, metal has become very confined these days. It seems like unless you're a legendary act, or a band with universal appeal (Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed), you won't get much attention from any non musician types.

Well a general tendency over here is to listen to metal music which is not commercial (going to a friends house, there is a big chance I don't know 80% of the bands he listens to). I am a big fan of Disturbed, but I don't know anyone listening to A7X and the like. I like some American Bands (As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Disturbed...) or Canadian (The Agonist) but most of the bands people listen over here are from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy etc.

It's not only Metal either, there is a big scene dark scene, industrial, goa etc. ^^

Fair enough, here in the states the underground is more on a local basis. Maybe it's because the population is so spread out, so there isn't nearly the kind of network that there is in Europe.
