Oh not this again.
Music is music is music is music. All the rest is personal taste. That's all that matters.

I have to agree rust certainly destroys metal so you are better using a metal like aluminium that doesn't rust, or mabye steel with a high carbon content. Although there is an argument that plastics have also destroyed metal. Even the rust free kind. Plastics are lighter and more cost effective, fiberglass is another that might have killed metal. Generally I think that when something better replaces something that is considered "the thang" then a reality check is initiated. Summed up metal was found out as being just a load of toss jackery and replaced by something not as toss jackery. Oops, have I just p*ssed some people off?

Add another for Nirvana. I've felt that way for years.
I figured there would be a selection for them before I clicked on the thread.
I don't blame them, but there success changed the course of metal and brought on a wave of music that lacked talent when it came musicians.
It seemed anybody who could put a bunch of made up chords together (no more then 3 mind you) could make a song and be famous. The crappier it sounded the better, people would just call it there "style".
Gone were the days of great guitarists.
We are just now finally starting to get some good musicians back.

One day soon I hope that musicians, and then also rappers and DJ's, discover the very rare thing called 'silence' and learn how to play that.
I was on the road doing ren fests in the USA in the early and mid 90's and I still thank god that metallica got as dominant as they did, as much as I got tired of the same riff/different song trip on the Black Album. - I saw them on the Ride the Lightning tour way back when! If you're old enough to remember thinking 'those guys'll never get played on the radio...' heh heh.
It was a great relief from Nirvana (some of which I grew to like in the early 00's) and a lot of those whiny 'we don't play good cause who cares I want to die' bands... or blues traveler [shudder] or dave matthews band...

yeah because metal guitarists are the epitome of guitarists, this thread is hilarious
, they produced a load of guitarists able to jack off on a regular basis that's for sure. Don't make them any good. Once you grow up you find out that playing the most amount of notes in as little time as possible isn't what it's all about you'll finally be on to something. Death to metal? We should all celibrate, damn I wish it was me that killed it!! I wish I could have that honour. Keep your cat suits & silly hair.

the stupid cat-suits and the silly hair were a product of the 80's with their roots in the 70's Glam Rock era....the image was a fad, it just seemed right that time. But that fad just phased out and the music continued to evolve. There are probably millions of young kids out there today who probably never heard of Hendrix, Page, Blackmore and the lot. But Metal is definitely not dead, it's just another age now. Who cares if it's not played anymore on mainstream radio. Even in the MP3 clinic here there's lots of it and most of it is good! If music makes you feel good it doesn't matter what age it's from....

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Dave Grohl even came out with some cd as a tribute to metal cus HE himself said that Nirvana put an end to metal. When I mean by end I mean that you can't hear it on the radio anymore. Ofcourse the beauty of GOOD metal, even back in the 80's, you always had to stay up late to listen to it on the radio or on tv . But now theres no type of metal anywhere, just emo shit. And the emo shit came from punk and alternative and grunge shit. Theres no solos in any of the music you hear today. AAHHH Id rather have an 80's trend, at least they had true talent, and that is what I mean by that. Ofcourse you can find good metal if you look for it but I wish it was like back in the 80's....
lol... The stuff I write could be considered "emo" but you know I write solos in it. O and what I think killed metal is the fact that people began liking the pop punk sound. And one thing is if you won't change your style to popular demand you better have one of the best sounds in your genre or good bye to you... I play what I love which seems to be a sort of mainstream pop punk sound.

Then you're sure as hell lending a lot of credence to them.
Not at all. I'll think you'll find it's more a case of "gone were the days of self indulgent guitarists making up for crappy songwriting". I love good shredding as much as anyone else but that movement in music forced people to concentrate more on whether the actual songs were any good, rather than just impressing people with technical virtuosity. As a result we now have a happy medium where a lot of bands are making good tunes that still remain technical.
The words 'Machine Head' spring to mind. They exploded at around the same time. Why? Because they managed to make a record that was heavy as fuck, had a bunch of solid tuines, and still kept the solos but with very little wank. It's the wank, and people waking up to the fact that it was wank that killed wanky metal.
A lot of people find it hard to beleive that cock-rock type metal "killed itself" with it's own giant pelvic thrust. And no type of music dies anyway. I personally don't call something jumping outside of the eye of the mainstream dying. I call it a new lease on life if anything.
Look...this whole fucking thread is bullshit. Just look at the title "who killed metal" (and the fact that myhatbroke, the OP of this thread, is a bit of a muppet, and was a lot more of one back when he started this stupid thread) and then go for a walk down the high street. What made anyone think it was dead? I see more metallers than ever walking around these days. The question should be "who made metal fashionable again?".

I'm not sure about what genre/sub-genres of metal you're talking about, but just about the biggest thing happening in the metal semi-underground right now is exactly that: sub-par wank-off guitar players with little-to-no song-writing capabilities whatsoever. See: Job for a Cowboy, pretty much anything on Sumerian Records, pretty much anything Metal Blade is signing these days (with a couple exceptions)...

i think the fad that metal died along with the generation that welcomed it... this is now generation Y with no culture... i remember when I was a punk diggin on the ramones and the clash... this generation don't have rocking stuff like that!

You mean the stuff being crammed into the public eye? There are a tonne of awesome bands out there. Just because they aren't in Kerrang or on MTV doesn't mean they don't exist. But if you're a metal fan and your reading Kerrang to find out about new bands then your pretty fucked unless nu-metal floats your boat.
The town I live in alone has a bunch of great local metal bands. I mean...in what capacity are we talking here? All metal bands? Or just the ones that everyone's heard of. Metal's not all Slipknot and Korn, and it's not all Winger and Skid Row either.
As primarily a metal fan, I can say with conviction that metal is most certianly not dead, and it isn't all just shit bands. Like I say, if what's the TV, on the radio and in magazines is the be all and end all of your perception, then your pretty much fucked. No matter what the subject matter.

Nirvana just sucked, period.

How many of us here, besides just me, have metal CD's as well as Nirvana? And by metal I guess I could count, say, megadeth, gojira, tool, sabbath... and I like NIrvana too. Sue me. It's all just music to me.
