How can bands like Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down and even Metallica be considered metal when bands like Slayer exist?
metallica is more metal than slayer, it even has metal in its fucking name
>>60367689
I wouldn't consider metallica metal, it's more rock.
Because metal is a wide genre with many subgenres and influences, and simply being heavier than other bands doesn't invalidate them being in the genre?
>>60367703
no motorhead is rock
>>60367703
So Kill 'em All is rock, metal didn't even start with death growls, it started with fuckin' Black Sabbath.

>mfw I assume op is just trolling for shits and giggles.
>mfw faggots are actually argue
Everything besides modern extreme genres of metal should be classified as rock. Like, how can Slayer be considered metal when bands like Cephalotripsy and TAIM exist?
>>60367761
>are actually argue
Just how retarded are you?
>>60367783
Not retarded that I get butthurt at a minor error. I bet you're one of these neckbeards arguing over your obscure tastes.
Kill yourself.
>>60367761
Not trolling. I enjoy all the bands listed I just never know where the line between metal and rock is
>>60367795
My tastes aren't that obscure. Think again.
>>60367804
It's about at like Van Halen and AC/DC
>>60367721
>motorhead is rock
Okay?
>>60367661
I don't think Avenged Sevenfold is metal. Didn't they used to be metalcore or some shit but now they are hard rock?
>>60367921
There first album is 100% metal but they've moved very slowly from hard rock to radio rock. They're garbage now.
>>60367906
Ever been to a Motorhead concert, they play Rock 'n roll.
How can bands like Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down and even Metallica be considered metal when bands like Death exist?
>>60367954
How can bands like Death, Cannibal Corpse, and even Suffocation be considered metal when bands like Cock and Ball Torture exist?
epic thread!!!!!
slayer and soad are pretty good though, not gonna lie.
>>60367721
'n roll
>>60367661
right? slayer has been sucking ass for way longer than all those other bands
>>60368024
Agreed. SOAD is pretty legit. Don't get the hate.
How can any band other than GISM be considered metal?
>>60367661
because who gives a shit?
>>60367661
Because Black Sabbath was the first metal band.

The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often derided by critics, a status common throughout the history of the genre. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence;[4][5] Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Beginning in the late 1970s, bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden and Saxon followed in a similar vein.

It can be argued that Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin are hard rock, but Black Sabbath's heavy sound wasn't what made it metal, it was its subject matter.
How can bands like 2015 Slayer exist when bands like Slayer (with Hanneman and Lombardo) existed?
>>60368710
I didn't even know they still made music. I thought they broke up ages ago.
>>60368790
they just released a new album senpai
>>60368805
Jesus really? Is the lineup the same?
>>60368651
The sound even today is very depressing and heavy.
