Regarding Kuzla 3's comment: I can definitely see where you're coming from. I mean, I'm a huge metal fan, but I find some of the stuff associated with the fandom a bit... bleh. Like umlauts and devil horns. Never got why they were cool.

Headbanging, on the other hand...smile

Sorry about the double post. I'm still relatively new here. I'll figure it out eventually.

Think there's a market for a metal band whose songs are exclusively named after Schwarzeneggar films? Yes, apparently there is. O___o

At first I was like: "Oh fuck why'd you have to bring up Austrian Death Machine"

Then I was like: "Arnocorps? To metal-archives! .... OK no luck there"

And then I was like: "I'ma download a song and listen . . . . Ohhhh, THAT's why they aren't on the archives"

So Yeah

To Kuzla 3: Yeah well, good thing a lot of metalheads I know are rather fond of self-irony. After all, we aren't living in the eighties anymore. (Unless you are at a Municipal Waste gig. :D)

Question: would Blue Oyster Cult be considered "metal" or "not metal" around here? I've always wondered whether they're metal or just hard rock.

Without having much experience with their music, my guess would be that anyone liking the band does not particularly care about into which genre to shoehorn them..;)

Good point. I certainly don't care what they are.

Yes, this may seem weird to people, since I was the one who asked the question. I didn't, and still don't, care what genre Blue Oyster Cult are; I just wanted to see what the reactions would be.

Blue Oyster Cult is pretty clearly rock, though whether they're a progenitor of metal might theoretically be arguable.

Hard rock, yes. Metal, probably not, unless maybe it's qualified as "proto-metal" or something. Their manager marketed them as "the American Black Sabbath" even though a listen to both bands will show little overt similarity.

no one will notice that I changed this

Good news: Dethklok concert with Mastodon and two others opening tomorrow.

Bad news: Tix all sold out.

Good news(?): This is just as well as the Roseland Theater wants $35-40 greens for that shit. No fucking thank you.

Further good news: I can just get the Dethalbum II anyway.

40 bucks to see High on Fire then ditch when the crappy bands start playing? Yeah, no thanks.

I've still only heard Altars of Madness, and it hasn't really sunk in yet, so I don't think I can make a judgment.

To make agreeing really easy, you could always just go to my last.fm and pick a band that you like from my top 20.

getting them to agree isn't the hard part

it's keeping the peace for more than 5 seconds before it leads to another disagreement

band X is awesome: agreed
