[QUOTE="Flobby, post: 3887212, member: 8569"] whew! That was a long thread. I was waiting for someone to mention Manowar! what could be more metal than them! Gods of Metal...genius. I feel like I have to defend Greenday here though. (Partly cause we're from the same hood :) ) I understand the critisism but they are punk. Personally I don't listen to them anymore, and haven't heard their new album. I think people should realize they were innovaters of the whole new melodic punk thing. Okay maybe that wasn't a good think-- and they spawned a lot of crap (Blink 43854 or whatever). They did something totally different, they were punks definitly but they brought in simply rock'n'roll-- simply lyrics, cheesy love-songs, most of their songs sounded the same. (Like the Ramones?) They just well... rocked! An dthey were fun! And I know signing to a major was a big desicion for them. They knew that all the punks that liked them would never forgive them, and they'll never be able to play a the little whole-in-the-wall punk clubs like they used to. So anyway I respect them, the wrote some great rock songs-- and they're still punk in my book :). I too prefer old-school punk (Ramones or course but what about Suicidal! MDC! Minor Threat! no one has mentioned these guys! ) i wonder how punk the Sex Pistols are though (although I like them). I give them respect, but as far as punk ethic and culture goes Green Day was more Punk. They were a produced band, made in the studio after all-- that's not very punk... And remeber the orginal punk was extremely varied-- Talking Heads was (is) punk! And one last thing... Slayer!!!! where's the love fr Slayer! They are the metal of metal in my book. They brought the silly horror/fantasy of metal and the harshness of punk together. (Well okay Misfits helped there too :) ) Without them we wouldn't have the genres of Death Metal, Power Violence, Black Metal (Leviathan!!!) or gothic/industrial metal bands like Neurosis, or the weird ones like Mr.Bungle.
