Was the "Biomechanical" clip supposed to be filed under "METAL" or are you just trying to keep us on our toes?Comment

Iron Maiden. No trend. Just a 3rd guy playing guitar. Its like a 3rd nut in a 2 nut sack only more itchy and sweaty - - - > irritating.

People often ask me what makes something metal and for the longest time I had trouble explaining it. They'd play me some Puddle of Mudd and say "this is metal, right?" I'd just shake my head.
If we're trying to define metal, I've always thought that it was rock with attitude and a focus on guitar and drumming technique. This covers all of the subgenres in metal. It also easily explains why AC/DC is not metal, no matter how hard Jack Black tries to tell us they are.
Videos so far (I'll edit as I go)
Limp Bizkit - yeah they were the trendiest of the trendy. I remember all the douchebags wore the red Yankees cap
Evergrey - never really got into them, even though I should like them being a huge Symphony X fan. I think it's because on the album I heard all the songs sounded the same. Definitely metal though.
Bullet for My Valentine - gay name, gay lyrics, gay video, but the music was good. Plus he's playing a Rhoads, and they have guitar solos. Trendy now yes, but if they're still around in 5 years, I'd push them into the "true" category.
Nevermore - well, duh!
As I Lay Dying - cool book, trendy band
Firewind - I'm gonna say not metal here. They'd fit a lot better in the 80s hair band scene.
Bring Me the Horizon - holy crap they suck. Definitely trying to latch onto the current trends.
Soilwork - I remember when they first came out and they totally sounded like every other Swedish band at that time. Metal yes, but definitely a product of trendiness.
Slipknot - total trend band
Biomechanical - total Pantera ripoff with Tim Owens on vocals? Definitely metal though.
Sworn Enemy - not a trend, not metal. Just a regular old hardcore band.
Symphony X - metal, duh
Bleeding Through - total trend band...kind of ripping off Bullet for My Valentine but without the cool guitar parts.
Arch Enemy - never got into them either, but definitely metal. Total metal attitude.
Korn - total trend. I am so glad the rap metal trend is over.
Candlemass - awesome doom metal band. Again, attitude rules here.
P.O.D. - rap metal again. Apparently Christian though.
Carnivora - eh, sounds like a ton of other bands. Not trendy though.
The Darkness - awesomely fun rock band. Totally anti-trendy too. Kind of confused why they're listed as Trend. Definitely not metal.
Synergy/Sinergy - is that Alexi Laiho? Fun metal.Last edited by Spivonious; 09-22-2008, 08:50 PM.ScottComment

TREND.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDzl6ZQpSOo
METAL..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5P6UI4wa-8
EDIT:..In my haste I went with novelty instead of trend..The Darkness ain't no trend...so I had to replace it with somethin' else.
Its OK, its early in the game and I'm playin' it "safe" for those who think all new metal is "grunt" vocals"..there's a theme I'm kinda going with here...on the fly. I put Thrice in for the Trend because that's what they are.Last edited by horns666; 09-23-2008, 07:56 AM."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"
