i really don't have to add any thing more then it said and you know
some times its mater of taste and some times your taste is just pure
shit people who say metal is just about screaming and etc
what is you dame base on such a shitty op like that what you gona tell
me that you listened to that and that I,m gona tell you go shit
your ears you ignorant dumb because how you would give an op
on some thing you never know just because you listened to one of
million song doesn't mean you can say that

plus metal isn't the most complex music and I'm saying that
because i haven't listened to all kind of music to defined that
but its complex to some people so they say it a crap music
you can just say that you don't like it maybe because you
are what you are but don't judge some thing you never know

i haven't seen metal amv here a lot maybe because I'm new here
but as it seems most people can stand it maybe because its done
with way that doesn't go a long with it like sync every beat to lead to
make scenes switch like crazy but i read amazing idea here and
i don't remember who said it and its that you can just sync about 90% of the
beats and i liked it so much so i would love to see it some day

any way i have yo stop talking about metal because i won't stop
and i really wish people to give th genre another chance

Yes, exactly that's my point too.

They don't? On a website that's full of japanese wannabe otakus, isn't it obvious that japanese music would get automatic special treatment because it hits more of the personal tastes of most users?

But just look at all the metal sucks replies this thread alone got, even less people will actually comment a metal video or even download it. And now imagine in that minority even more people want to see a gory action video that uses Berserk and some guy being beheaded yeah fuck that it so brutal etc etc

For me though metal is pretty relaxing, whether you'd believe it or not, so if I'd do a metal video that's ignoring like 60% of the drums and beats people would think that it's badly edited while all I'd be doing is concentrating on the part of the music/song that I want to focus on personally. For example if I were to use lyric sync metal is usually pretty depressing so there could be sole drama videos, but they'd have to ignore 90% of the beats in the song, it would be hard for the average viewer to cope with that and how that's supposed to be on purpose.

That's why it's so hard to open the mind of AMV viewers towards new genres of music in AMVs, because the videos supporting those less used genres would have to be differently edited the more complex the music gets. You just can't hit every beat on a breakcore song, well you can but the outcome wouldn't be a very good representation of the music......actually it would be, but it wouldn't be a good AMV. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY

oh that were you

Wannabe?

I resent that remark. I live here.

Also, Japan has metal.
