Yeah, they are. So, you're telling me it all started with NWOBHM. Yeah, I don't think so. Led Zepplin, Mountain, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf, Blue Oyster Cult... all metal.

Their second album was melodic but contrived and their last album was blatantly ripping off black sabbath riffs when they weren't trying too hard to be controversial. They're just not special or original anymore. They just got worse. I stopped calling anything nu-metal. I use the word Mallcore. Because when something isn't 'nu-metal' but can definitely be lumped with other 'nu-metal' bands talent wise, it is Mallcore.

You're being pretty arrogant there dude. I suppose its possible that their albums dont meet your standards, but thats no reason to go about ridiculing them. I think that SOAD is sticking to their initial philosophy and experimenting musically with different themes and styles. But then again if they duplicated the "special and original" quality of their first album, you would just call them stale. Why not just live and let live?

Well, I generally don't go about ridiculing them. We just happened to be on the subject and I wanted to give my input.

"This metal isn't really metal, and that rock really is metal!!OMG WTF R0Xx0rs!!!!!!lOlO!!!111!!!!!!!!"

These are always pointless conversavtions, seeing as to no one can agree what is really metal, and then when they do there's about 5,000 different kinds of metal a band can be........

Hey, I didn't make the rules. Most periodicals classify the bands I mentioned as metal. I doubt they would be so misinformed.

And yet, they are only played on classic rock stations.

Good call, guy.

What a day for a stupid argument about what is or isn't metal.

C'mon, y'alls, stop beating your collective heads against this pointless wall and just let the metal flow....*however* you define it.
