Just because you can't stand metal doesn't mean that there are rules prohibiting mentioning a death metal band to a hip hop fan. I like metal along with a good share of the earths population. I was listening to Garth Brooks in late 90's when I found a Morbid Angel album. That was the point that I switched back to metal.

Do I need to quote Suicidal again?

Good for you. But do you actually think this person will like Death Metal?

This has nothing to do with liking or not liking metal, its about slowly adding to the type of music he listens to, not just throwing random genres at him. Come on brotha use your head.

Yah, just because you jumped from Country to Metal doesn't mean your average music fan will.

Never know till you try.

I think that if this argument is going to continue, we should make a new thread. This is an introduction thread.

True. On a final note, I think it can turn someone off from diferent music if the first example they hear is Death Metal.

If you go by this, then we may as well have everyone on Music banter shouting there favorite bands and genres at him when asking for new music.

Logic my friend.

Are you telling me that doesn't happen?

I think the point of MB is to communicate with people with other tastes in music. Learn about other genres and expand your tastes. Sitting around with a closed mind doesn't do much.

Iced isn't the one that first said he was interested in finding new music. Proggy is the one that said he needed a music makeover. More than anything, I was playing off of that. If you don't like metal, fine, don't like it. But you have no place discouraging anyone else from sampling it. I don't recall ever once saying anything about anyones taste in music being bad. I don't go around saying how bad something sucks. Keep an open mind, there might be something else that you are missing out on.

First off this has nothing to do with my or proggy's music tastes. Second your still not getting what either of us are saying. When showing someone new music, you dont just throw random stuff at them is our point. And this has nothing to do with metal, could be any genre.

Ex: If someone came here saying they love Electronic Music and wanted to learn some new music/bands you would START off recommending Jazz to them. Maybe first you would show them Trance, then Industrial Music, then Some Metal. See how it works, progress from one thing to another.

Ps. Neither of us are bashing your music taste Predator, i happen to like a good deal of Metal, just when recommending you don't want to overload the person with new stuff. Take it slow.

Don't worry Predator, I'm a prog fan, I get a lot of the same **** metal fans do.
