Question:

what's your definition of real metal?

ok their are huge fights over what is quot;realquot; metal people say any band that is in any genre with quot;corequot; in it isn't metal or nu-metal isn't. some say power metal isn't real metal since it uses clean vocals and sometimes symphonic sounds like rhapsody of fire. well you get what I am asking. people say that these certain bands are metal and these others arn't. personally I consider a wide range of bands to be metal except for a few mostly the bands supported heavily at hot topic since their quot;fansquot; are mostly young kids who think dressing quot;scene/emoquot; is cool and since I never see any older metal heads liking any of these bands so yeah
