I like Metal more.

I can't get into progressive metal, wether it is due to lack of good bands or my lack of interest for the genre.

Both. Easy.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I like old school metal but not much modern metal. The modern metal that I do seem to enjoy is of the traditional DT progressive variety. Not much love for growling or shrieking on my end though.

Prog metal it's a subgenre of metal. I like a lot of subgrenes of metal, but I think a lot are terrible too.

Prog Metal works my brain and power metal brings me melodies I can sing along to. And both get me pumped if I need to workout or game or something.

Most everything else though is scatter shot.

Rhapsody is power metal to the max. I don't know how on earth they made it into the archives

This has been a fairly common position on PA for quite a while now.

Personally, I don't have much taste for any metal, with a few exceptions, so neither for me.

It upsets me that so much of the internet apparently thinks you're a f**king idiot if you aren't a leech who blocks ads. Although I admit that I would block the 700x700 ad if it showed up for me.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

And I totally agree with Brian. Who thinks POS isn't metal should listen to their earlier albums. Hell, Scarsick is pretty metal and even Road Salt is metal, if you compare it to 70's metal (which was the inspiration to the album anyway).

If you're not clicking them, it doesn't matter anyway. If you are, then you're truly one of a kind

I don't understand how you can like metal but not like a form of metal which isn't even properly defined. What do you mean by prog-metal? Like Dream Theater?

I like both.

Oh yeah, I know most people say Scarsick is terrible because they like to go with what they hear without listening/dont quite get it...but it IS prog metal.

But I assume that was trolling anyway, no one with a brain would have PoS and Korn related in any possible way LOL

Edit: OH! Henry that may be the case but...what does it matter? So what if it's a new trend? Still makes no sense.

Well maybe not for the Rush fans ;-), but I can understand people not enjoying a lot of straight prog metal. It ups the cheesiness factor considerably from a lot of prog and straight metal.

Fine, but don't call me an idiot.

Is it Adblock Plus? I didn't know it does that. I wonder if they can tell the difference. I can't use Adblock Plus anyway because I run Opera.
