Ahhh..the moshpit. When I first ventured into metal the crowd was a sea of long hair banging in unison. The mosh pit came along later, kinda sometime in the late 80's, and was really an invasion from punk, so it was never really taken to by the old school metallers like myself. It was too...

Saint were'nt particularly thrashy, and most of the bands in the OP were 80's stuff, but all good for the mind. I think the whole Christian extreme metal etc genre should take a bow and give gratitude to Mortification and the spinoffs like Horde for helping break the ground for that genre to...

Funny question, because the group that has the biggest impact on Christian rock is not likely to be a Christian group, is it? The Christian bands all sound like secular bands really. There would probably be no Christian rock if it wasn't for people like Larry Norman and groups like the...

[/size][/font] You got that right. Mossy sang better than Barnes too. ..and he's better every album! Check out th eplaying on the new DVD! Woah!

Shouldn't judge a band by the fans, although, I haven't any acquiantances that listen to both Limp and AE. If you changed your style, yes, but if you didn't.....think about it. If a traditional metal band like Iced Earth change their sound to accomodate "nu-metal" or "death/grind/whatever"...

I wasn't condescending, it was a compliment. I'm serious. You remind me of me at your age. I wish I had it again. Not in my circles. There's no similarity of sound either. AE don't rap. Can't agree with you here. Remember my rule of thumb- once metal, always metal. LOL. "the...

OK...cool......let's see... I might suggest checking out the names mentioned in this thread and other sources in the Amazon site, where they have little samples from the albums available for sale, as well as reviews from fans and foes alike. Well, they are about to release their 12th album...

Well, you bring a good point. Firstly, I think it's important to know that every twelve year old should learn to play Iron Man, even though the soloing in the break of the song is a little complex at first. ;) The difference is that it will take him a lot longer to learn to play Fairies Wear...

Yes, but it's an "in-joke" all the same.

Ahhh...the militancy and absolutism of youth...refreshing, isn't it?:) First of all, what is wrong with Maiden? :confused: They changed the face of metal, and if you really think about, this kind of reasoning means that every single musician who has distortion on their guitar and plays a...

[/i] a) Yes he is. b) Yes it is. Three things make a musician: a) Ability with the intrument. b) Ability with composition. c) Expressing in art the song of the heart and head. Song-writing is b+c, and I think the Sabs were pretty high up on that scale. Melody- see: b) above. The...

Yes, I agree there too. I guess the term metal is very interesting in and of itself. The sub-genres are just more ways of trying to describe music IMHO. As I mentioned before, to me, what was metla some time ago is still metal, but just the older sound. However, these days, especially with...

Cool. You got that right. I agree, except for the Sabbath thing. LOL.....I'm biased. I grew up on them. :)

Yes, I agree. I think sadly that metal with a Christian emphasis hit a brick wall around 93 or so, but it is about to stage a comeback, with the re-emergence of power metal as the dominant sub-genre. It's all good because Leviticus have reformed. :)

I can't tell whether your nick is Mrs.linky or MR.slinky. Gathering from your taste in music, I'll go for the former. :D j/k. ManOWar put out a famous song once, (the penultimate corn ball lyric band) and once verse touted "if you don't like metal, then you are not my friend". Makes sense...

Well, eventually everyone must make their own decision on which side of the battle they want to be. Well, Destroyer 666 has got to be one of the silliest names too. There is a great list of the worst names in Rock history here. Hilarious. ..but in their time, they were considered metal...

They played the other night nearby in a what was called a "Satanic Warfare anti-Christmas" gig. I heard they sucked. With such a corn ball "event" name they deserved to suck. I heard local lads Hobb's Angel of Death blew them away. I really disrespect this band, the unoriginally named "KK...

Personally knowing the guitarist of this band makes me wanna laugh when I see people honestly take this stuff seriously. He's a real.....umm.....well, I can't say here. Loser I think I can say. Can you say those words in this forum? Anyway I'm not sure I can agree with you on that...

You actually believe that? :eek:
