[AppleBonker]

[Mr1der]

[flohtingPoint]

Yea, I didn't know who they were either. Looked it up, it's a metalcore band.

[RobPaulson]

LOL not ur thing? thats cool. lets not turn this into a debate about the wording metal/metalcore please... <where the phuk is my eyeroll emote>

[Mr1der]

heh...and so begins the metal wars.

<---doesn't mind some Metalcore...

<---DOES mind all the goddamn subgenres of any genre of music and all the goddamn music nazis going on about what's not metal or hip hop or country or indy or bluegrass.

THIS. it's annoying and stupid semantics.

No, not my thing. I agree at lets leave it at that. The dusty road of various brands of metal vs each other leads to nothing good.

My little brother likes metalcore, so I'll pass it along to him.

[RobPaulson]

honestly, i just enjoy the band, was just spreading some love as a lot of people never heard of them. if u dont like it, thats cool, if u do, post up some comments and check out some of their other stuff.

this is one of the 3-4 bands i actually purchase the music from... really dig it.

[Mr1der]

oh if only everyone could just shut up instead of blasting something others enjoy...

<---guilty of not being able to shut up quite often

[numbnuts240]

shut up

[Mr1der]

b**** you don't own me!

I love Parkway Drive, been into them since around 2007 when I found their album "Killing With A Smile" and decided to give them a try. They're one of the main reasons I'm going to the Warp Tour this year.

[Mr1der]

I'll get fig newtons and come back to listen.

[Mr1der]

well, that's enough of this crap.

<----going back to listening to Edguy

<---also wants to go Rabbit hunting.

that band makes me laugh. ha. i personally need something a bit more intense to work out to. RATM is about as 'light' as it can get for that.

hell ya dude, i'm seriously considering getting tickets somehow...

'It's hard to speak without a tongue' is one of my fav songs from them, sooooo good.

Def going to attempt to acquire a copy of this new album soon... mmm

Musicians rock, vocalist blows.

Seriously, is there a rule that says "it's not metal if it has great vocals"?

[Mr1der]

real metal has great vocals.

[AZhitman]

Thank you.

Respectfully disagree, not many people can do what he does as a vocalist. I find it rather impressive, while at the same time, I am totally into other forms of rock/metal with absolutely zero screaming. (chris cornell for example, as much of a curse he is to each band he touches... his voice is epic) It's all different skill sets in my eyes, it all takes a lot of talent and hard work to be able to sing either style, I can appreciate them for what they are, how much work they put into the sound, and the overall effect of the music. I am honestly drawn towards bands that I can hear the intensity and emotion in the music, vocalists/instrumentalists who are just really into what they're doing because they really LOVE the music.

this type of harder stuff i like to listen to when i'm lifting... helps to bring the intensity

It's all preference really. I'm more of a fan of bands that play more technical metal, not the same ol' generic bland riffs. I'm not much of a fan of powermetal bands unless it's Stratovarius or Sonata Arctica, most of the rest sound like cookie cutter bands(bands like Edguy make me ROFL). I do listen to metalcore but only bands that stand out from the large quantity of crappy bands that are in this genre, Parkway Drive is one of the few stand out metalcore bands.

This is "real" metal to me, but I know that to most of you guys this is probably just noise.
