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


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 like DevilDriver, really good band. lead singer looks slightly like a girl.

Anyone like Apocolyptia or Tristania

Not heard of Tristania, but I do like Apocalyptica (from what I've heard of them) Their Metallica covers were good, as well as the songs they have done with other people (I did like Bring them to Light, but I think my favourite was End of me). As for the best actual one of theirs I have heard, I would say either Hope, or Burn (as I remember, I will have to listen to their songs again before I make a final decision on that).
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

A good example of Tristania is the full version of Beyond The Veil, it's quite long, but very good I think.

really good job on the rep, but that's actually   Barber-ous 2 :P
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Personally, I HATE classic... But I got quite large music genre taste.

What I like:
- Techno
- Trance
- Hip-Hop
- Rap
- Pop
- 90's
- Rock
- Heavy
- Metal
- Metalstep
- Dubstep (a bit)

What I don't like:
- Blues
- Classical (I hate it all of my heart)
- Jazz
- Death Metal
The most important thing for me is the speed, and the sound. I don't give a crap about lyrics. :3

That reminds me of a picture I saw of DJ Pon-3 with Octavia's Cello Bow rammed down her throat and Octavia saying, "Now, what were you saying about classical music?"

I don't mind classical. I suppose when you know the Moonlight Sonata off-by-heart, you should have some appreciation for it.

It's odd how well classical music can fit many things, including extremely chaotic scenes (an example of the is Saints Row the Third). Besides I also like Ride of the Valkyries, not sure why I like it for the most part, all I know is that it reminds me of the episode of Looney Tunes where Elmer Fudd sings 'kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit' with Ride of the Valkyries playing in the background. But I find classical to be enjoyable as there is likely to be at least one classical song that you feel like listening to at any one moment. Either way, Jonzu, are you sure you don't like this?
