[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2820225, member: 35678"] I consider A Perfect Circle to be a part of either the Prog Rock and SLeavy Metal sub-genre. I think I've pretty much coined that term myself, but basically it comes down to a song being Slow and Heavy. Their remix of 'Pet', alled 'Counting Bodies Like SHeep to the Rhythym of the Wardrums' is a pretty good example of their SLeavy Metal style. However, they do break out into other genres quite a bit too. I think they (along with SOAD in many cases) fall into prog rock more than metal, but it's all subjective I guess. As for classifications, they are getting mroe and mroe blurred... or perhaps there are simply so many new sub-genres nowadays along with such a larger swath of exposure that, basically, one 'can't see the forest for the trees'. IOW, there are too many bands trying out too many new thigns that we can't even hope to immediatly classify them all just yet. I was speaking in jest (looking back my wording does seem a little confrotational, so apollogies) and sice, as I said, I am not really all that familiar with Metal that's pre-'90s, I really can't say anything to that statement. Glad to see we at least have another red-blooded metal fan on the boards though :D ;) Sevendust gets a bit of airplay at Freq 107 here in Winnipeg (it's an alt. rock station), but I'll be sure and DL those songs and a couple by Ra too. If I like it, you may have just helped them pay the electricity bill :p ;) :D Aerosmith, though I've only ever heard that one song for that space movie, has never been, while either watching TV or in music discussions with friends, ever been called metal by anyone I know of. Hard Rock? Probably. Metal? Sincerely, highly doubt it. Hey now, I said this is a metal LOVE thread dude, no need to come in swingin' ;) That said, I saw SOAD when they came to the 'peg last September, adn they blew me right away. Awesome, awesome concert - too bad they didn't sing 'Spiders' or 'BOOM!' though :\ Mudvayne is tied for my favourite metal band.
