Metal Forum FAQ
Post Your Favorite Metal Band Thread
What Are You Listening To?

Metal Forum Link List
Metal Genre Guide

and for those of you too lazy to read those beautiful threads here is the low down of how things go here:

This is the metal forum. 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
Atreyu
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Murder Dolls
My Chemical Romance
Godsmack
Guns N Roses
KMFDM
Hawthorne Heights
Rage Against The Machine
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Mudvayne
Mushroomhead
Seether
Sum 41
American Head Charge
Coal Chamber
Ill Nino
Dir En Grey

You get the idea, just use your brain. To discuss the majority of the bands you can head on over to the 'rock forum' (aka Main Music Forum) you'll find it here:

Now what IS a metal band?

Well, I'm not that smart. 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.

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

It works, it may be a little lack luster but just trust us.
 
     
 

"Alright Metal Forum Dudes, I understand this. We just have to talk about metal and we're cool! Right?

"Sort of sparky. There are about three things you should know before you consider posting here:

1. Is this thread I want to make a repeat.

Look back a few days, if there is a thread about a certain topic that you want to discuss - just use it. We're a slow moving board generally, and because of such we don't look down upon necromancy as much as many other more active boards do.

2. Is this thread/post even on topic?

Please don't go into a thread and start posting inane babbling. It doesn't make you look cool - it doesn't make you look 'fun' or 'random' it just makes you look unintelligent. Stick to the topic at hand. And generally unless you can connect a non-metal band to being an influence in metal, keep non-metal bands out of the board.

3. Don't flame, don't troll, just follow the ToS

There is nothing worse than a little troll who thinks he is cool by stirring up problems by flaming and making others flame them. It isn't fun and it won't be tolerated. It causes grief for those of us who desire to have an enjoyable time on the boards.

Note: People do NOT flame or troll a troll/flamer back, simply report them to the moderation staff. They are more than capable of handling any problems that may arise. Failure to comply can result in your own discipline as you are as guilty as the perosn who started the situation."


"Alright man, I think I'm ready to go out and have a fun time!"

"I sure hope you are!"
     
Note To Everyone:

Do NOT post recommendation threads, they are repeat threads and will be reported and moved.

We have a thread specifically designed for recommendation purposes and it is suggest that you use it. It has serviced well over 300 recommendations and is a very good place to find out about new bands.

USE IT.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Get to posting here, this is the general discussion thread for the Gaia Metal Forum.

Moderator Approved!

Don't mess this up! We've had this privilege before and had it revoked. Let us behave and retain this thread. I do NOT want to see it gone.



"The Red Amythe"
Stealing the idea (like this entire thread) from FG, a recap of the last 2500 pages of this thread.

The thread starts. Cameron reitterates that he's gay for David. Random old jokes are said for quite a while. Applause for David. Et cetera

Joanna Newsom is beautiful #1

Trolls start to appear. Cait tries to take care of it but fails. Michelle takes it srsly.

Derek's in the hospital?

Joanna Newsom is beautiful #2.

Cait still fights trolls.

lolfly loves granite.

English take over the thread for 16 pages.
Wait, 20.
Actually, they pretty much take over the thread for blocks of pages from 7-11 GMT most days. Assholes.

Antonius Block has a girlfriend. Everyone's impressed. What a nerd.

Even on page 190, people complain that the thread isn't about metal.

The thread gets boring for a while.

Omega Nebula and Putrid Pathogen go at it like 13 year old girls fighting over which Backstreet Boy is the cutest. I mean, come on, we all know Nick is.

Stupid people argue over philosophy and religion when they don't really know anything about it.

Seems as though David and Sam start hating each other about here.

Jeff's Asian.

Leap day. Everyone still talks about their p***s.

I got arrested.

Redd: "Being cool is overrated"
Boozer: "p***s"

I realize now that 1000 page recaps will be better.

Zach likes Flightplan. Hilarity ensues.

David says, "Violins are gay unless used in Pain in Salvation."
What a twist!

Burger King tells Caitlin that she doesn't know what Chowder is.

RAMMSTEIN IS GERMAN METAL IT'S DIFFERENT THAN YOUR METAL crying

Jeff: "Only idiots make fun of me for being Asian."

DtV is here. Drama will follow.

Drama is here.

I would of expected that Alcest is the sort of style that Bathory would of evolved into eventually,the legend that Quorthon was
 
Thank god someone did it, I'm glad it was you.

And no, this shouldn't be stickied, because not one person that comes in here and posts about things that inspired this thread reads the stickies.

Other than that, yeah, I dont want to go to school either.
