[The Spider Mastermind]

I'll throw my hat in...

I have an interest in a few metal bands.

Strangely, I'm not into any one sub-genre of metal, and, as a matter of fact I often find that I like one band from a genre and not any of the others.
I'm into Machine Head, Metallica, Dragonforce (even though I dislike all other power metal bands), Drowning Pool (even though I disklike most other Nu-metal/Metalcore bands), Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down's earlier material. Most of the rest I'm fairly indifferent to.

When you say you like RATM's earlier music, is that an implication that you don't like The Battle of Los Angeles? Because that was one spectacular album...

The Battle of Los Angeles is a cool album, but it's nothing on the first one. The first RATM album rules.

No... I just forgot a comma. :wallbash:

I meant System's earlier music only.

Although I did prefer RATM's self-titled album to The Battle of Los Angeles

I just bought Rammsteins Sehnsucht album a week ago its an older one but damn its the best material ive heard from them. I have "Reise Reise" and "Mutter" as well but this one is great. I know there not technicaly metal but most people who listen to metal or have good taste in metal, have them in there collection am i wrong?

They come close to being metal at times, but really they don't quite get there, think the main draw is that they sing in german, but from what I read across different metal boards, they are decent but hugely overrated.

Spider Mastermind: Hmm, I really will have to check out their self-titled...everybody seems to like it alot, and the two tracks i've heard from it ("Bulls On Parade" and "Killing In the Name") are awesome.

Shunk Eat Enemy: Congratulations on your purchase of Sehn Sucht, it's a truly groundbreaking album. There are only two tracks off that CD that I do not like ("Kuss Mich" and "Stripped").

Deathdude, I can understand why some people might see Rammstein as overrated (given their world-reknownedness), but I think they deserve it. They have some truly creative lyrics as well as genius riffs. If you haven't yet heard them, take a listen to "Engel" and "Mein Teil".

[DeathDude]

Actually it's quite the opposite, that the band itself doesn't write anything that really stands out and just are another generic industrial rock band, with german singing. There are far better bands in their genre of music, plus it is annoying to hear that Rammenstein is assumed to be metal is the general consensus I have heard plenty around different metal boards.

:wallbash: Why can't that be me? :wallbash:

I'll never get to go to a metal concert...you see, they don't really notice backwater hick towns.
