I heard a story some time ago about a TRANSPARENT metal (metal that passes light). That seems very avant-garde. Anyone knows what's the status? Research? Can I buy some?
People who say metallica, yes they were VERY influential, the core of modern metal. But if you take all of the major popular metal TODAY, nu-metal, metalcore, melodic metalcore, hxc etc, korn, lamb of god, august burns red, bullet for my valentine etc. two bands alone helped spur this new pop/crap genre of metal. IN FLAMES and PANTERA In Pantera's 1990 Cowboys From Hell, vinnie and dimebag introduced the forst hardcore breakdown, a slowed part of the song with crazy drums, chugging guitar and simplistic vocals, all played at half-time. This was Prime material for moshing to, and was copied by 1000's. In Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, they taught many artists how to be heavy without being metal. Even Korn cited his as the bse for all of the heavier nu-metal. (coal chamber, anyone?) In Flames was an easy melodeath band to copy from, especially their riffs. Many melodic metalcore bands took In Flames style riffs, cut out the solos, and added a hardcore breakdown. The solos they do have are freaking weird, but that is less common anyway. The vocals are not like pantera nor in flames.
Metalica is the awsomes band
Sadly, Nirvana. they opened the door for alot of CRAP music
Led Zeppelin...Black Sabbath
