Paramore? Darragh I'm disappointedTwilightning wrote: »Exactly what it says on the tin. Share with us your Last.fm profile so the rest of the members may stalk your musical taste!
For those of you that don't know what Last.fm is, it's a music community website that allows you to 'Scrobble' your tracks to a personal profile, with which the website then sends you recommendations for music based on what you play and giving you musical 'neighbours', who are essentially other users on the site with a taste similar to your own.
My profile can be located here. I wish you could change the bloody usernames, made mine like 3 years ago. >.<
Here's mine anyway http://www.last.fm/user/Kev-_-Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Going a bit off-topic here but anyway, I think that's a bit of an unfair generalisation. One of the things I like about this forum is that most of the posters are quite well-informed about rock & metal in general and the discussions that arise are not just restricted to the more popular and well-known metal bands. Sure Metallica, Iron Maiden etc. come up in conversation but even looking at the first page of the forum now I see topics on 3 Doors Down, Fozzy, Norma Jean, ZZ Top, Murderdolls, Reckless Love, Pink Floyd, Trivium and Soilwork. That represents quite a good mixture of mainstream metal, classic rock, glam rock, metalcore and hard rock.GirlOfGlass wrote: »But I find the people in this forum just listen to the more mainstream 'metaller' metal. For example: Metallica, Mastadoon, Pantera, Iron Maiden etc etc. Not saying that's bad, but I don't think there's much diversity in this forum.
If I had a Last.fm account I'd probably be similar to you, with non-metal music dominating. I find when I'm in work that I normally listen to ambient or trance stuff. Metal is too distracting. I find myself concentrating on the music rather than whatever I'm supposed to be doing.
Another point is that the forum is driven by the users. If you think there aren't enough topics on bands you like then start some discussion threads and open peoples eyes (and ears).0 -

I'm the opposite, I think the mixture of metal here is very typical, it just doesn't seem to push boundaries in the genre, in my opinion of course.
But you're right, all I have to do is start a thread to introduce some new bands here. Which I think I will do. 0 -

You don't get my point, I didn't mean those bands exclusively. So 0 -
Haha nah I get you point and I can see where you're coming from, but there is a decent bit of discussion for the likes of prog which definitely "push the boundaries of metal" as you put it. More popular rock/metal is always gonna get most discussion, just how it rolls.GirlOfGlass wrote: »You don't get my point, I didn't mean those bands exclusively.

Anyway, so Parkway Drive, Architects, August Burns Red, Suicide Silence, Underoath - you're telling me they're not metal.
I bet you just judged from my top artists. My music taste doesn't just consist of metal, which is why you may have been misconceived when you looked at my last.fm.
I actually do know a fair bit about metal music; starting from its origins to where it got to today. I don't think a lot of people here either go for just the mainstream stuff (I don't even like or listen to Mastodon) and if you look at my Last.fm, you'll find a lot of obscure artists that are fair from the mainstream as it is.
Have to address the bold part too. Sorry, but I don't consider any genre of music with 'core' thrown in at the end of the description to be metal. And I did just skim your top artists. I'm not saying listening to stuff that isn't metal is a bad thing, just calling stuff like Parkway Drive and Underoath metal is uncalled for since they're clearly screamo garbage. I can see 20 overall top artists from a glance at your page and HIM would be the only remotely metal thing I could see there, but even that's pushing it. 0 -

I never stated you liked Mastodon, I was just picking out a few artists that come up in this forum more often than others. Nothing got to do with your taste at all.
I looked through all your artists there, not that obscure or diverse in my opinion.
And you are completely wrong in stating that Parkway Drive and the others are 'screamo garbage', you clearly don't know your music genres very well.
Here's some 'screamo garbage' as you call it, just so you know.
So you think the above and this are the same, eh?
You've got a lot to learn.
How does putting a 'core' at the end of it make it any less metal. Does putting the word 'black' infront of metal make it any less metal. No, didn't think so.
Get off your high horse. Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean it's garbage.
And again, you just skimmed through my top artists. 0 -
