Give me your hardest songs. I want my ears to die!

Listening to metal for the vocals (or lyrics, for that matter) is like watching an action movie for the story. Yeah, they're there, but they're not really the point, and if you can't get over it, well, you're missing out on all the other good stuff.

I disagree, actually. A lot of vocalists make a band, for me. I agree with the lyrics though. Doesn't really matter what they're about.

I know you said no Death Metal, but:
Behemoth - Slaying The Prophets Ov Isa
Nile - Execration Text

As for other Metal:

Armored Saint - Hanging Judge
Blind Guardian - I'm Alive
Exodus - Blacklist
Testament - D.N.R
Demons and Wizards - The Gunslinger

One of Shadows Fall's most awesome songs i think, i learned from guitar hero...

The Light That Blinds

it is the awesome amount of epic. it win

but yeah, i reallly looove the Fall of Ideals cd by All That Remains. I dunno why, i think its cause they got the death metal thing, and they got soft vocals too

[Moth]

Atari Teenage Riot - Digital Hardcore

On another note, if you want to kill your ears, the best way is not with a hard song. >_> Try this one:

Brand New - Luca

It's actually a rather quiet song.

[vgmmaster]

Megadeth - Hangar 18
Anything by Dragonforce

[enragedlobster]

Strapping Young Lad - Underneath the Waves.

Hell, anything from SYL's City would do the trick.

Dagny has a point. Some guy singing constantly in a low tone growl gruggling over thunderchug riffs is not music, its a headache. Hard Rock/Heavy Metal is completely different, and rules. Nu Metal generally sucks too, but Disturbed is an exception.

Except that the low growl thing is part of metal, not hardcore.

Yeah, thats how I learned of Shadows Falls. My brother is an extremely metal kid. He liked The Light That Blinds so much he went out and sought a Shadows Falls CD. He listened to it non-stop until I got tired of hearing the screaming, so I spilled the beans that Shadows Falls is a Satanist band (a rock/metal music expert of a friend told me). Since my family is Christian, that cured the headaches. Then he moved onto All That Remains.  

Also, System of a Down is a good Metal band. They're more of Rock, but they're rather Heavy so you can consider them Metal at times.

Song: Revenga
Album: Mezmerize
Band: System of a Down

Thats a good hard one. Same Album as Violent Pornography as Loren suggested (I had her download that one). Theres also "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song," which is always fun.

lol @ all the guitar hero faggery

You have got to be the worst Music Troll ever.

Ewww. Music trolls?

Well, a lot of metal bands have good vocalists, some fucking amazing (Rob Halford  ), but I just think the main thing with metal is the guitars and instruments in general.

[wethepeople]

-_- @ Dagny trolling.

[Joker]

Honestly, whenever I see people recommending a bunch of songs they probably found in GH, I laugh to myself too. The Guitar Hero games are pretty eclectic and offer a good variety of songs, but if most of your knowledge of music comes from GH, well, you don't know a whole lot of music.

That said, I'm gonna buy GH3 as soon as I can, as I've already played all three prior installments to death.

Yeah, fair point. Good vocalist is just a bonus.

I'm going to have to lol at all the SOAD and Shadowsfall fanboys/girls.

[IronSoldier820]

So far I believe I'm the only one that has suggested both of those.

Did anybody say my knoledge came from guitar hero? I was simply saying that i believed that was their best song in my opinion. I knew about Shadows Fall far before i got guitar hero.

I don't know, did anybody? I know I didn't anywhere in my post. Call me a copout for this if you want, but I didn't even notice your post until now. My post was more in response to everybody getting on Dagny for his comment about "Guitar Hero faggery", since I can see where's he's coming from with that.

Music troll?! WHERE!!!

Fun times abound! =D

*lays out the usual music troll feed*

Slipknot is my second-favorite band ever. I like Limp Bizkit. Stairway to Heaven is the most overrated song ever, and it's done by the most overrated band ever. Buddy Rich's drumming is soulless and completely unenjoyable to listen to. I hate Bob Dylan. I hate Bob Dylan. I hate Bob Dylan. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and System of a Down both suck at writing lyrics. Johnny Cash made good original music, but his covers suck ass. </complete honesty>

 1.) Slipknot. I don't know what to say.

2.) Limp Bizkit. The same.

3.) And not all the trash the gets passed off as music these days?

4.) Don't know Buddy Rich.

5.) I hated Dylan until recently. I hadn't really listened to him much. Recently got Blood On The Tracks in which he sings and doesn't use the weery voice so I actually like it.

6.) I agree. Serj has a cool voice though.

7.) Only have listend to originals of Cash. Really like them though.
