But they are still metal are they not?

I just thought about this...and the metal I listen to doens't make me angry...it just makes me want to kick ass or something...not necessarily kick ass out of anger, more like a football kind of kicking ass. That or do something really awesome...like jump a creek with a bike or something.

So in that regard, I think metal requires power over anger...at least the kind I listen too (its not much :P)

I'm more of a college fan myself...I'm pretty sure they don't get anything for being on the team, except that they get to be on the team.

Metal needs power of all sorts. In terms of anger, it doesn't necessarily need it. Power metal isn't based around anger. But it does need guitars though.

if it's not angry, then it's not metal end of story.

Personally, I think other genres should also be angry. Not all metal needs to be angry perhaps alittle more angsty than angry. Punk needs to have anger towards whatever, that's the main aspect of punk. Metal, especially Glam doesn't have to be angry.

No less than three guitars playing at once (over-dubs are allowed). Two guitars is nothing but Hard Rock lol.

Dragonforce isn't angry...Dio isn't angry...heck, Mettalica isn't angry...maybe extremely passionate but not angry.

i'll rephrase then

if it's metal and it ISN'T angry, then it's probably crap.

j/k etc
