Description Not sure if this has been done yet or has been but with a minor difference in the caption, but never mind, on to the topic. It really does bother me that people (STILL!!!?) think that heavy metal (or just metal) isn't music. i mean, there are like a shit ton of metal sub-genres out there & the only thing they say "it's just noise"(despite all the shit they have raping their ears 24/7, like their "music" is sooo much better (sorry, i'm just pissed)) without specifying what song they heard (which wouldn't surprise me) or any different & more original (valid or not) reasons.
Sure i can understand them not liking certain sub-genres of metal (like death, black, grind ect) but as they never specify & just call it "heavy metal" (which i have no bloody clue why they mix 'um up & think its all the same) then i can neither take them seriously or really know what they mean.

so basically, no, heavy metal IS music (know about a genre &/or sub-genre before you make rash assumptions), it has been around for years & is loved by many around the world.
Also, for those of you who are new to the subject or or think its "just noise!!!!"(which is obviously a lie) give the following a chance: Living After Midnight - Judas Priest (heavy metal), The Wicker Man - Iron Maiden (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), Cry Thunder - DragonForce (power metal), Universe on Fire - Gloryhammer (symphonic power metal), Emerald Sword - Rhapsody (neo-classical metal) & any other recommendations, just let me know.

also notice how none of what i recommended is Death metal, black metal, grindcore or any of what "normal" people cal "just noise"(sorry if thats everywhere, it's just one that is spewed out quite a lot) or "not music" (this one too) so when (or "if" cuz i doubt any of those people will) you do listen (actually listen) to those songs, you will hear not only no overly harsh sounding vocals (just occasional high vocals) but different styles in each band, different sounding vocals, well written lyrics, epic guitar solos ect.

anyway, not much else to say, if there's anything i missed in the description, let me know in the comments.

maybe not, that album has a lot of awesome tracks on it, as does Powerslave, Somewhere in Time & The Book of Souls.
i have also put in a few songs recommended in the description above including a lot of non harsh sounding bands.

I personally don't like Metal (Except for Linkin Park) but even so, I can listen to it and say that it's music! Where do people get this idea from?

i dunno where from, maybe they heard the one thing from somewhere, hear the word "heavy metal" (that was most likely death metal or black metal) & just outright assumed from then on that all metal was the same (fuckin' numpties).
it's fine if you don't like it (tho Linkin Park are more rock but i'm a big fan of LP too) & it's cool cuz you don't come off as one of those jackasses i described above.

When somebody says metal isn't music I always think I bet you heard in your life only one metal song and you know shit about existence subgenres

seems legit, at times like that, i wonder if they know or even care that there are other sub-genres of metal just like there are other sub-genres of whatever they listen to

they are brilliant. when i 1st heard them a few years ago (1st song i listened to was Under and Over it), i thought they sounded a bit like Slipknot (another band i like) & i liked it but i didn't really get into them until after i saw them at Download Festival last year before i saw Judas Priest & Slipknot & they were all awesome.

Same here. The first time i ever listened to them was when a guy used a one of their songs for a strip dance prototype. The song was the bleeding and after that i searched for more and fell in love ever since.
