lose electrons and form ions?.....when does a metal stop losing ions?
For the sake of the question, i'll say Regular. You didn't list any Death, Black, Progressive, Power, or Speed Metal bands in your 'Regular' metal part. I love all the bands you listed as 'regular' metal. Nu-Metal is not to my taste. The dislike the other genres that are incorporated into the music, such as like Hip Hop, Industrial, Grunge, and Electronica are mixed with metal. I like it when bands incorporate Jazz, Classical, Hardcore Punk, Progressive Rock, and other 'Regular' metal genres into their music. I also can't get into the riifs that alot of Nu-Metal bands come up with, but again, this is due to the other genres mixed in. I have actually checked out Nu-Metal when some bands were recommended to me by friends at school, but I just can't get into it. The same goes for the genres they mix with metal. Maybe one day I'll like it, but right now It's just not to my taste. @ Q: I may not be an expert in music (I did receive the music award in grade 10, does that count XD), but I think there would be alot of metal bands that produce their music similarly. Look up Morbid Angel's albums Blessed are the Sick and Covenant, read into them and watch interviews with their guitarist Trey Azagthoth. The same goes for Death, especially their later works. Those two bands are Death Metal, only one genre in the vast expanse of Metal genres, so even if they don't prove my point, I'm sure there are bands that do XD
From your list of Old - only metallica! From Nu-metal list - all groups! =)
I gotta say nu-metal, Bands like Linkin park, System, Flyleaf, breaking Benjamin. Honestly both are awesome, but nu-metal is created similarly to classical music (I know weird). Mostly in the sense that It's usually more carefully arranged. Bands Like L P take around 3 year to start and finish each song, mostly because of how many edges they need to smooth out. So it ends up being more harmonic and diverse. Both are awesome, I hate it but I gotta side with nu-metal.
