Death Metal OT

My nice college classic Country station just drifted over to a heavy metal station next to it on the dial. Who can actually listen to this stuff . Every song sounds the same . The guy is screaming the lyrics from the bottom of his throat[ in every differnet song too]. How does this music appeal to people? I gotta listen to John Conlee " Rose Colored Glasses " or I am going to go nuts.
 
Must be old age, I can't stand any of it anymore, I just like the peace and quite, too many commercials. I used to have a radio on 24/7, drove my wife nuts.
 
But if some rappers came out with a Christmas album they could call it Christmas "Wrap" ;) Im an 80s rock fan.
 
Funny, I remember my Dad calling Waylon Jenning a wanna be country singer who couldnt make it in rock and roll. Just FYI, my son listens to it, and no hes not on drugs. In fact, hes probably alot smarter than some people on here, and has his head on straight and knows what hes doing with his life.
 

Where I grew up we only got 2 kinds of music on the radio. Country and Western. Too poor for a 45 record player. The programming of my youth did not take.

I am 60 now like The shadows, Ventures, Classical, And about 10 years ago decided I liked AC/DC. To each his own, I will listen to what I like.
And if you don't like the way I'm livin, you just leave this bald haired country boy alone.
 

I don't do drugs and never did...but yet I listen to Black Sabbath,Ozzy Osbourne,Judas Priest,Rob Zombie,Slayer,Metallica, and others. It makes perfect sense to me. You drive tractors...you are driving heavy metal. So you should listen to heavy metal...lol. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of the old country but there hasn't been any country music since the late 1970's and early 1980's. But let's face it,country music is depressing. I remember getting ready for school one morning and they had a thing on ABC news that said country music influences 60% of all suicides. I don't know about that number but would I believe country music influences more suicide than any other style of music? Yes I would. BTW...if you want to hear a depressing country song,look up the Roy Acuff song Unloved and Unclaimed.
 
Yes but the bands you name [once considered the heaviest matel bands] are listenable . Whereas bands like Heaven Shall Burn are all of the same screaming mode. It all sounds the same .Somebody screaming.
 
I've heard a lot of those bands also. I've been to Ozzfest twice and I listened to that Swedish death metal band Dimmu Borgir. That's probably more along the lines of what you are talking about.
 

Another thing related to this is the fact that I listen to modern christian music a lot. I was watching a christian channel one evening and a program came on that was supposed to be christian music but was the same bottom of the throat screaming not a word understandable garbage. I could not even understand one word of what the guy was screaming. I immediately thought of demonic activity in this. I mean it was like the mouth of hell opened up and that is what it sounded like! Christian music? Really? ugh. :roll:
 
Hey I listened to that Dimmu Borgir on youtube. At least they have some back up vocals . Not the worst of the genre .
 
I really hate the "there's a tear in my beer" whining crying country. Love country rock, 60's,70'sand 80' rock. Some of the newer stuff I don't care for. Country took a turn for the worse in the very late 90's IMO. Don't listen to Christian music at all. Puts me to sleep.

When I was a kid Dad always had the 70s country playing on the barn radio. I HATED it then, but I love it now . I liked Heavy Metal in my teens and twenty's, it is kinda exciting and invigorating - TO A YOUNG GUY ! When you got the hormones and angst going, and dont really know who you are yet. Now, I like tons of music in all forms and even talk radio. To each his own . I try to keep an open mind to all of it.
 
how do some listen to hip-hop ?

i like R&B.. and to a very mild extant and specific cases.. even some stuff calssified as 'rap'.. but most of the new hip hop stuff ( very fast growing segment of music $$$$ ) just doesn't appeal to me.

takes all kinds.
 
The rap music that spews out of the mouths of the inner city bums is so terrible that I want to get a razor blade and slash my wrists. These low lifes belong in prison.

The stuff I listened to as a kid was hated by the grown ups of that day, 1980s and some 70s but the heavy metal trash of today, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, others is pure garbage, at least Ozzy has a voice.....too bad it didnt put it to work for Jesus. (he was too busy doing drugs)

Not true... Ozzy sang a few pro Christian songs while he was in Black Sabbath.
 
It's all a matter of perspective. The term "heavy metal" was first attributed to Jimi Hendrix, a black ex-GI. Then Led Zeppelin was a heavy metal goup, then Aerosmith, then AC/DC, then Ozzy. Now they're either all gone or drawing Social Security. 40 years from now, today's heavy metal will get air time as elevator music.
 
I can remember my Dad's reaction to the first time the Beatles came on the Ed Sullivan show. I would have been about 7 then.

Dad always had a "potty mouth" so I thought I had about heard all of them... But that evening I think he may have had to make up a few new ones!!!

Guess the Lord spared him the pleasure of heavy metal and gangst'a rap! LOL
 
For most people music is the same as barking dogs, screaming kids, crying babies, and loud exhausts. If it's your own, you like it. If it's someone else's then it's just more noise pollution to deal with.
 
(quoted from post at 22:02:48 09/11/14) Really, what songs


"After Forever"

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late!


That was off the Black Sabbath album Master of Reality in 1971

About 15 years ago I was at a high school football game, when the pep band played a bit from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. They did a good job and it fit the moment perfectly, but that would never have happened a generation earlier.
 

Did you know that when the singer for Iron Butterfly sang , In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida he was actually supposed to be singing In the Garden of Eden but was so messed up he couldn't. That's the story anyway
 
Really? Want depressing? How about "Teddy Bear" or "roses for Mama" or a whole host of Marty Robbins songs. Some real tear jerkers there. Great music, but depressing nevertheless.
 
It's not the station that you listen to, but rather the one next door? If you don't like what the neighbors eat for dinner, then eat at your dinner table and stay away from their dinner table.

The phrase "heavy metal" was used to describe
a music type after Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild"
used those lyrics. AC/DC,Aerosmith and Ozzy are
still at it.
 
Personally... I have no use for the Nashville sound... Country rock I sometimes like. Mostly like anything up to and including hard rock but not a big fan of 'death metal' either... Rap is just noise to me..

How did they come up with 60%, did they ask the guy that killed himself or did he leave a note that said he was listening to the radio and it was so depressing that he would rather kill himself than to turn darn thing off! lol

Horse puckey. You want depressing? Try some of the sappy songs from the 70's like "I learned the truth at 17" or "Seasons in the Sun" or "All by Myself". ABC, if they actually dug those number sup themselves and didn't use some country hating college kids study, is simply lying. I've investigated a lot of suicides and known several people who did themselves in and music of any kind was never even in the mix. Drugs, medical problems, relationship issues, financial issues and mental issues- that's what drives people to suicide. Dear Lord, I suppose next you'll blame teen pregnancy on music? Or rape on the way a girl dresses? Give me a break.

What utter horse puckey!
 
I don't mind the older country, so long as it's not crying in his beer (which is probably why she left you, dumb***!). Usually listen to rock of some sort, some older country (KRVN plays the good stuff), and if I feel really brain-dead, I'll put on some pop music. Or if I want to feel really smart, I'll put on some twangy pop music. Though most of the time, they forgot the twang. And the stetson hat. Pretty sad when the singer from a 90s grunge band is putting out better country music than the rest of the twangy-pop-music "artists".
