This IMO.

Try Alice In Chains instead, fairly similar but several leagues better.

Your ears just need toughening up a little bit. =D If you need some "transition" bands, ones that have both Metal and other, somewhat more popular influences, then perhaps bands such as Linkin Park, Enter Shikari and The Offspring might be a good place to start. With due preparation, you'll end up with bands such as Machine Head, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage.

Considering they're all beginner metal bands, that isn't the best place to draw an ending point. The ending point is pretty much where you start listening to hybrid black-jazz-fusion-post-metal crazy stuff..

Also, for Trent Reznor's sake, can people like The Royal Badger and Ty4er please take note of this:

Metal may have intense bands which take a lot of toughening up to listen to, as well as some absolute crap, but that doesn't mean all of them are. Try Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Cynic, Blotted Science, Riot, Psychotic Waltz, and Saxon (WHEEEEELLLLSSS OFFF STEEEELLLLL ) for examples of potentially accessible metal (though probably not BC as they're actual instruments are very chaotic).

And I am one who listens to things from the electronic genres. And I listen anything on that part. Gentle and hard. I love it all.

My genre is 70's to mid-00's with a few exceptions from after that.

I don't mind decent techno and electronica, as well as trip-hop, but not trance or dubstep, just due to personal preference.

On another note. Made an arm over Christmas. Took two days but would only have took one if I actually had batteries.

Here's a dull test of it.

Metal is only has indistinguishable if you aren't used to it, when listening to Devildriver, I used to phase out and just hear it as instrumental when not paying attention, and now I can understand most of the lyrics, but then again, you have bands like Black Label Society which falls under blues metal, as I remember. And not all metal is emo, I'm not sure where this misconception came from. But then again, personal opinion is personal opinion,  cannot get my head around people who like modern rap, but to be honest, if they want to listen to songs that have gratuitous swearing (not that aren't metal songs that don't have gratuitous swearing), and stuff to do with pimps, bitches, and hoes, or whatever the **** they are singing about, then they should just go ahead and listen to it, nobody really has a right to stop them, and I doubt that there is anyone that is truly justified in judging other people for their musical tastes. Personally, I enjoy many genres of music, but that is just me.

I would have thought Obscura was a better example for your point about metal that's to your taste.

I like it, at least.

I do like Obscura, their lyrics are really strange and poetic, they are, but I used Devildriver as the example because I actually understand most of their lyrics, although I can understand some Obscura lyrics. And if people want an example of Obscura lyrics, I will go with... Aevum, it is the one that I can understand the most of

Where profound souls shy away from self fulfillment
We stroll in silence through this universe
Where abysmal pansophy wallows in deepness
To enjoy the bliss of a fractional existence

The holiest necessity of inner being is not a law for nature
In nature even divine necessity takes on the bleach animosity
To keep our inner being free of this contradiction
With the irresistible force fore of a terrible necessity once present

Those who are ashamed to start from the earth
To climb up from the creature mankind
To draw those thoughts that are beyond
Earth, fire, water, and air

Void Dimension - as man stands here on earth
Void Dimension - as flash of eternity

As man stands here on earth in this life
As flash of eternity that enlighten this gloominess
Portraying this progeny of their soul as enigma
Devoured by its own will, unbounded, inevitable

Wherever one thing reaches into the other
Neither of the others can leave
Each requires the other

But I like a lot of different types of music, and there are some songs that I have no idea why I like them so much. Strangely enough, I have never met somebody who solely likes metal without going into other genres. Somebody at college likes Napalm Death, Devin Townsend, Iced Earth, Behemoth, but then he also likes stuff like Kunt and the Gang, and Clutch. On the other hand, everyone who I have met who likes rap generally only likes modern rap, and very little else. But that is just my experience, and I am not saying that all people are like this.

I see.. Didn't think you'd be in for Techno and such. You might like stuff from Mauro Picotto.

Awww yeah anyone who likes Napalm Death is cool in my books.
Rec him Brutal Truth and Wormrot if you meet him soon.

Weird, I've actually started to enjoy classical music; the works of Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner e.t.c...

Somebody please kill me.

Tchaikovsky all the way.


Anyways, I have decided to either buy a re-manufactured DeLorean or build my own vehicle. Unless my truck is not in fact dead. We'll see.

Shostakovitch is where it's really at.
