Metal Died With Dimebag (alternative, funk, rock, genre, albums)

Not sure what you mean...

Nu Metal is not a type of metal. Names can be deceiving but the term refers to the slight influences of metal. However, the alternative rock, grunge, and hip hop elements far overshadow any metal traits making it more akin to rock then even trying to approach metal.

Well, if it were up to me I'd put Nu-Metal under the umbrella of Metal. But, I guess it's not. When I hear Korn I think Metal, but then again I don't know much more about Nu-Metal than Korn anyway.

To be honest I don't really care what you call it, I'm not even a big fan of the style anyway.

What we need now however is a separate genre just for DragonForce. I'm a big fan of Power Metal, but not of DragonForce. They should be called Silly Metal, or Stupidly Fast Metal, or maybe WTF Is This Metal.

Judging from your list, it doesn't look like you've tried too hard to find metal you like. You've barely scratched the surface and thrown up the white flag.

Satch will always be a prepubescent boy at heart.

If anything, metal has been rejuvenated since 2004. The net has really helped bring back the DIY underground metal scene.

the internet has also brought more people to listen to metal. but with dimebag on a few peoples minds they dont know whether they should listen to crap shoot music or should they listen to the music dimebag recommends for them. i personally stopped listening to what dimebag says only to the point to where i could listen to music that i wanna listen to.

What the hell does this post even mean? Did you talk to Darrel? Did he recommend music to you?

Coherence! COHERENCE!
