Uh, I have a Primus and Melvins poster ( #61 of 300), though it's in pretty bad condition, because I just didn't take care of it and it's been creased and crumpled rather than framed like it should have been. I have Rishloo's discography (signed) which could be considered rare because the band...

Well, as I said, just because a band has a general genre they fall into, it doesn't mean they never experimented with sound. Panopticon is a one man Black Metal project who (very often) incorporate Bluegrass into his music. He still plays Black Metal music, but he doesn't strictly adhere to that...

Three small quotes? Wow, man. That totally means I feel back entirely on them! The rest of my argument was null and void, I needed those three insults to fall back on! Phew!

I'd like to eventually get around to playing the Silent Hill games (never played a single one!)

Genesis are a Prog Rock band who incorporated many styles into their music, but over the years their sound turned very poppy and I think they wanted to make their music more appealing for a wider audience. But yeah, Prog Rock as a whole is very experimental and that's why the umbrella term Prog...

One more thing from me; Genres aren't meant to be rigid definitions that all bands must adhere to, either. They're just descriptors for a band's base sound, to aid in helping bands describe their sound and for fans to look for music. If I want to find a band that sounds like Slayer, it's great...

So, as it lies, most bands have a base-sound for their music, though many incorporate various styles and influences to make each band unique (not saying every band ever is unique). Unless we get into a talk about Avant-Garde and Experimental music, that's a conversation for another day...

So it's not like I'll call a Groove Metal band like Lamb of God a Death Metal band because they have made minor experiments with a Death Metal sound at points. Or I'm not gonna call a Black Metal band a Folk band because they added a Folk-inspired acoustic interlude on an album.

Bands can incorporate different elements occasionally and still be a genre, and that's what you're talking. But when a band focuses on a certain sound for all their music, that's what makes a genre. You know, I'm not gonna call the Beatles Progressive Rock because they experimented with it a...

Well, it's simple. Say we're talking about Metal sub-genres. They're all Metal in essence, but are all very different. I mean, compare Technical Death Metal to Post-Metal. Tech Death is about speed, low growls, blast beats, tremolo picking. Post-Metal is about repetition, atmosphere...

Yeah, it's a Sunn O))) avatar.

I never fell back on insults, I used a word to emphasise my whole point. The argument was still there and it was the majority of my comment.

I'm not being a rebel, I just hate ignorance. I don't give a flying fuck about whether I get ban-hammered.

Why would people be in this thread if they hadn't seen it and were ready to state their opinion on it?

Children of Bodom are a Melodic Death Metal band, and not a very good one.
