Anybody else here find "Heavy" rock music to be noise at best?
Screeching electric-type guitar picking, and screaming, sometimes anger-laced (almost always unintelligible) lyrics.
Purely high decibel noise which serves only to incite bedlam and deafen a healthy pair of ears, in my opinion 
Anyone else want to come out of the square closet?

Im not overly nuts about most of it. I agree the screamng part is not a pleasant sound.
I might say Metalica might be above the crowd in the metal world. They are pretty good. At least it's all music. Just a different taste. Junk like rap and hippity hoppity is not.
I might also add Judist Priest as real good. Some consider Guns N Roses metal. I dont. If Guns N Roses were to release their first album in 1975 rather then the 90s it would have been just as big a platnum sales record, maybe more. Kiss is metal but are pretty good.
Overall I cant say too much bad about metal.

Lol.. I think there are a lot of sub-genres to Metal and if you like music you will def find some Metal worthy of listening to :-) Try Alt-Metal or Nu-Metal it's not too bad!

I'll join you outside the closet, Mortimor.
All the metal fans can't be crazy (ok could they be? lol) so I guess people like us just stay away from the genre and form our opinion based on a small sampling of music.
Metal - Acid, not for me.
But, I love Led Zeppelin & The Who so it's not a question of noise. |

That's why I never say I hate/dislike an entire genre of music because there are always exceptions. I'm not really a fan of Rap music either BUT I do like some and I even enjoy a few of Eminem's songs.
I do think people tend to prefer & stick to the music that was most popular when they were growing up & young adults.
Have a kid & I think you automatically turn into your parents & start thinking to yourself when you hear your kids' music choices, "You call THAT music?!" lol |
