Music and an art form.

I see metal as a motion to which life bends and moves to. With such, life and society has revolved around it, incorporating it's heavy influences into many things that we do nowadays.

Also, with metal in my life, I see it as a frequency. It is, in cycles, what makes myself do things. Every melody, riff, and solo is more than capable to change my current move. Metal is an art which could always be destroyed, but never forgotten. Through fluidity in motion and cycles, metal works as a clock that ticks my days away, but I rely on it so much.

Kind ov crazy, but deal with it. Everytime I speak, know that you are in the mind ov Telena.


Couldnt have said it any better myself.

Funny that you say that Harvested Sorrow. What do you mean by that exactly?


It invokes alot of extremely ridiculous Manowar-fanboyish responses from people.

Many people don't consider something to be art if it's only "entertainment", i.e. pop music. That's why you get those kind of statements.

EDIT: ******** I hate typos.

music shouldnt rest on what a person thinks or believes, as much as you all may hate labels and genres its a fact that music must be organized into these genres to help advance musicians in their field of interests and influences.

It didn't mean it in that sense.

for me metal is nothing like the romanticised, overcategorised and overflowing fountain of diversity and intelectuality that its followers usually pretend it is. it is painful, disorganised, mainly either discordiant, ridiculous or both, and incredibly difficult to classify, but among all this there are a few bands who stand out to me as paragons of musical accomplishment. great musicians, either because of songwriting, melodism, or just pure skill with their instruments. those names need not be mentioned here, the point is that metal is full of a bunch of absolute bullshit, but for every ton of bullshit there's a single nugget of gold.

We apparently do not listen to the same bands then....There is a few "genres" out there that are questionable.

Metal to me is something i can rely on to always be there and calm me down whenever im mad (probibly why im so mellow all the time). If someone took metal from me i would be an empty shell, because it is a part of my soul.

ok i dont know where im going with that, but metal ******** rules!


and the genres that dude above me is talking about, are probibly gore or the "circle of the dead childrenesque" genre (havent heard much like CoDC, but the stuff i have heard blows).

o.o; wow. some of you are incredibly poetic.

i don't have that kind of talent. ^^''

and i haven't heard too much in the way of metal just yet, so this ought to be really fun.

i can see where listening to metal calms you down and relieves stress and anger, and i find that true as well. ^^ but for me, music has always been that way, no matter what i'm listening to. as long as i like what i'm listening to.

metal....most of my metal influence so far has been strictly power metal, and i have the entire rest of the genre to discover yet, my friends are working me up type by type, lol. but i see the way that they love it so much, and how happy it makes them to share it with me. i especially liked the excitement i heard in their voices when i started expressing interest. smile so, thus far metal to me has been what i've seen in my friends. and listening to it, i'm starting to understand why they like it so much.

i also have an GREAT amount of respect for anyone who can play the guitar, at all. lol. i haven't been playing it for very long, and i haven't been able to get lessons. sad and i absolutely love some of the guitar playing that i hear when listening to their music.

i don't think that made any sense, or even really answered the topic question. oO; but that's what i've gotten out of metal so far.

Any of a category of electropositive elements that usually have a shiny surface, are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, and can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wires. Typical metals form salts with nonmetals, basic oxides with oxygen, and alloys with one another.

or

A hard and loud genre of music with a moderate dose of violent vocals accompanied by high pitched guitar rips and rapid drum solos.

for me metal is a way of living

Metal is like a good frenzy - music that completely takes control, lets you spill out all your inner problems for about 5 mins (all the best metal songs are about 4-5 mins) and waking up in a pool of beer, piss and other people's blood the next morning

Metal is a way of life, in my eyes. I've been listening to it for 6 years, and it has influenced everything I do. From what I say, to what I think, to how I react, and to how I do things. All of my drawings and poems are also influenced by metal. I am so involved in it, I have literally fantasized about going to Ozzfest more than 20 times, and when my friends at school hear metal they think of me, because they know how much it means to me. I listen to about 4 hours of metal every day. It calms me when I'm angry, brings me up when I'm down, comforts me when I'm frightened (you think it would do the opposite with Black Metal)... you get the point. Metal is my life.
