Where is the metal gone?

[Elvenmunky]

I kinda grew up with The Police (family influence)

[tomizm]

Real metal? I reccomend "Cock and ball torture" Insane vocal, man
I kinda grew up on Linkin Park too, but later i was more into the harder stuff, liek Nothingface or Soil. And now, i like the calmer music, again It's called evolution.

god I hate that fuckin word Emo it isn't even a word stupid modern teenagers come up with it ffs

I am for Christ sack all music is *emotional* in some way

John Lennon was as "emo" as it gets.

metal sucks listen to real music heres real music

:pietasters, mustard plug, toasters, dance hall crashers, the police, the clash,the ramones, madness,the jam, iggy & the stooges, the buzzcocks, the boys, bob marley , billy idol, the briefs, social distortion

Some of that isn't even good punk or qualifies as punk!! Though there are a few bands mentioned that are good most you mentioned suck! Real punk is Sex pistols, Misfits, Fear, D.A.B., Black Flag, The Exploited stuff like that. Only good bands from your list are The Ramones, Iggy pop(some stuff), Buzzcocks(they're ok), Billy Idol(some songs too) and Social Distortion the rest you mentioned is total shit!! Ska and reggae garbage!! So don't go bashing metal if you listen to crap and for your sake I hope you're a girl with pink text like that!!!

i have been longing for a new album on the level of classics such as Slipknot's first, Deftones - Around the FuR, KoRn - Follow The Leader, Ill Nino's first etc...but all i seem to be hearing is that damn emo stuff!!! Anyone know of any new METAL bands out there?

But you have quoted bands which have no talent and is not metal. So no classics there. For the record alot of brilliant metal albums are being produced by amazing bands right now, 2004 right through to 2007 has been very good for metal bands. Alot of talent, just look and don't go for these rap metal bands which are complete and utter shite, mtv garbage, kids line up stuff
