To Me Metal is Sabbath's Doomy Sludge, A great wail from Plant Tate Halford or Dickinson
The Stunning Shredding riffs of Slayer and Metallica
The violent fury unleashed by Buck Dharma's guitar assault
Lemmy Kilminster's thunderous Bass and don't give a ---- attitude
So, what to you is Metal all about?

Metal to me.....The screaming double guitars of Tipton and Downing from Priest, the famous gravel howl of Lemmy belting out Ace of Spades, Metallica ramming drums and guitars straight thru the brain on Master of Puppets, Maiden riffs blasting, Dickinson's range, Slayers masterful shredding on Reign in Blood...or Anthrax's Frank Bellos bass booming the ear drums, or Holt and Hunolt's lightning guitar riffs from Exodus's Bonded by Blood.
This is Metal....hard pounding guitars, booming drums, thundering bass...low to high ranged vocals......metal at it's best.......my opinion.

To me, metal really is from 1970-1990.. where it is progressive and more experimental (yes even some of the big hair bands were musically gifted). After 1990 it's more of an alternative metal which isn't the same (I do like it though).
I think there is a lot of great metal in that 20 year period I named above that got brushed under the carpet because it wasn't radio friendly but it really kicks - stuff like Angel Witch, Kind Diamond, W.A.S.P. etc...

Black Sabbath's Apocalyptic riffs and doom sound,
the guitar God-like shredding of Slash,
the harmonic classical sounding riffs of Iron Maiden,
Ozzy's wails and screams,
melodies and keyboards work well in metal just ask Children of Bodom,
the speed of thrash bands like Slayer and Metallica, Seek & Destroy!
the I don't give a f*** attitude of metal in general.

Metal is all about the attitude. If you think you are gonna be the biggest band ever, then you will turn out like Sabbath or Metallica. Metal is sadly dying off. We need to keep it going. start a band. Play gigs. Rule the world. Screw pop culture. We need to kill it off. Bring back bands such as Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer.

Kind of over the top for most of it. I like anger in music, but I like it to be realistic, I can relate to Johnny Rotten's angry sneer in "Anarchy In The U.K." or Daltrey's shouts in "My Generation" or Joe Strummer's snarls in "White Riot" but then I hear something like Sepultura and it just sounds over-exagerated and ridiculous. I can't relate to that because it kind of scares me to be honest, and the singing sucks, and that coming from a guy who thinks Joe Strummer is a great singer. And that's my real beef with metal.
However, to be honest, I have the first two Megadeth albums that I borrowed from a friend and the more I hear Reign In Blood by Slayer the more it grows on me, and I'e always liked a little bit of Black Sabbath and Ozzy's solo stuff. Oh and I like Motorhead but I've never considered them a metal band really, closer to punk, Lemmy even said he relates to the punks better, and in '77 (the year of punk) they were always playing with the Damned and etc.

I always find Metal a somewhat confusing genre. Many of the bands that I think of as Hard Rock, others class as Metal.
And some cross-over, such as GN'R's original album version of 'You're Crazy', which I've heard refered to as 'speed metal'.
I class Led Zep as Rock, as there was no such thing as Metal when they were around.
To me, Metal bands are :~
Motorhead
later Black Sabbath
Metallica
Judas Priest
etc.

LOVE IT!!!
Sepultura were a big fave for years, I am out of touch these days, but I love anything that is good and heavy.
I agree with Fonzie about those light sounds - there a few women vocalists who have got what it takes, but the industry demands that they be so much prettier than their male counterparts, so we don't hear so much about them.
Saw a prog about Severed Heaven recently - they are still rough, but I think that have potential.

I totally agree with you and the answers. Metal to me is the late seventies up to today's progressive rock. Slayer, Metallica, and even Death. Slipknot and Linkin Park are kind of metal, more of Nu-metal, but not like the others.
Then there's branches, such as death metal, grindcore, black metal, and so on which is just faster metal and has different vocals to it.

Technical Death Metal, Doom Metal, Goregrind and Blackend Death Metal
Metal is an extension of my personality which identifies itself with the music and the form of expression, i also absolutely respect the musicianship that most of the bands display. Metal Forever \m/

Metal to me is technicality. Brilliance similar to classical music, only made electric. Death,atheist, cynic, Therion and In flames first two albums = Metal for me.
