Whitedragon, I sincerely hope you are joking about glam rock musicians being "better" than extreme metal musicians.
![]() I'm not saying I necessarily disagree with you, but that post is fairly ignorant and you haven't clarified what you mean by "better musicians". Do you mean in terms of technicality? Emotion? Image/Attitude? |

J-Man, a lot of the fastest shredders around came from glam bands. That doesn't mean they're better musicians, just that they w**k more
My least favourite must be metalcore |

I'm not saying that extreme metal musicians or glam metal musicians are superior... the only intent was to point out that white dragon's post was a bit unfair. Saying that "glam musicians are better than extreme metal musicians" is a pretty ignorant response. It's a case-by-case basis. ![]() |

I cannot stand Industrial Metal. Even black metal and those horrid vocals are better than industrial metal.

^ Not my favorite either, but eventually you get to somewhat like the lyrics, though I still have trouble listening to them.

My friend J-Man when I'm talking about "exteme" and "heavy" guys I'm talking about all these low technic bands who produse noise because of the low level of their technical skills. Never had a dillema between technique and emotion because if you really want to "take out" what's inside your mind you MUST have a good level of technical skills. In simple words you must know how to play your instrument. And yes many times I'm very tired of all these "extreme' bands with the three chord songs who finally put some acoustic parts at their fourth album and call it "music progress". I'm not a mucisian - my brother is - but I heard a lot of "guitarists" who don't like the "cold with out feeling" kind of playing of Malmsteen or Randy Rhoads and - guess what my friend - most of them they didn't know how to play properly a simple version of "Smoke On The Water" a three chord song... Anyway I think that some people at the sub-genre of Glam Metal they found the "easy target' to burry some very good Hard Rock bands including my self when I was many years younger. It's very easy to critisize the "light" sound of Faster Pussycat for example and the "girl like" look they have but what about fake blood at Slayer's photos from their first album? Who is the "poser"? Notice that personally I like both of these two bands...

Dave Lombardo is the man though. He rips on the skins, and Kerry King is an amazing and inventive guitarist..... while Faster Pussycat... doesn't have that skill. at all.

Honestly I don't care to get involved in an argument about whether or not glam metal musicians are more talented than extreme metal musicians. My intention was actually the contrary. I wanted to point out that this: "And by the way the members of these band many times are much better musicians than many "extreme" and "heavy" guys..." isn't a fair response. Neither are your constant stereotypes in your most recent reply. It's a case-by-case basis. The definition of a "better musician" varies from person to person, and saying that most glam bands have better musicians than extreme metal musicians is just plain ignorant. Keep in mind that in many cases I agree with you. ![]() |

J-Man all I wanted to say was this: Some people NOT ALL when they talking about Glam Metal mysteriously focusing at the image ONLY. But anyone can understand this: At the end of day the only thing that matters is how many good songs you're left behind. And the Glam Metal bands have a lot of good songs. And I insist that Glam Metal is the "easy target" for many people. Talking tomorrow because in Greece is 5.20 AM and I need some sleep! I will explain my opinion much better tomorrow.

OK - that makes more sense. ![]() Your argument changed a bit here... originally you said that most glam bands have better musicians than extreme metal bands (which is, like I said earlier, a bit benighted). Your new point is pretty unarguable (at least for me). Glam bands are an easy target for many people due to their "popstar" imagery and lyrics. Then again, who can deny similarities like this: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

maybe, but one of those pictures appears to be decidedly less heterosexual

You gotta give Gene Simmons credit for being awesome, even if you don't like Kiss

I never really liked avant-garde metal. I like some of FZ avant-garde stuff, but the two don't mix well.

Black Metal, Sludge/Post-Metal.
Really not my cup of tea. I like a handful of grindcore, gothic and symphonic metal bands but I'm not crazy about those either... I'm going to check out what avant-garde metal is, I have an instinctive disliking for the label :P
