A discussion that needs no introduction and is long over due to be had. With the new releases of games such as Brutal Legend, the RockBand and Guitar Hero titles, and songs played on the radio that were until now only on our MP3 players and iPods, metal is slowly evolving from Devilworshipping hymns(with the exception of the Black Metal genre) to radio edited, publicly accepted music put on the same stations as Nickleback, Daughtry, Silversun Pickups and Fallout Boy. Its becoming another mainstream abomination. Let the discussion begin!

I agree that it's a bit obscure of those types of songs to be mixed into the other genres like that...but in all actuality, maybe it'll gain some more listeners of it. A "reaching out" so to speak. Not that the genres of metal aren't well appreciated already, but it never hurts to expand. Although I know a lot of people who think my music is "terrible" but only because they give no chance to it. Any genre of music will have it's "mainstream moment"; doesn't mean that anyone is "selling out" so to speak.

i honestly don't believe in selling out. i mean how are you ever going to go anywhere in your band. i think it only happens is when an already established band trys making a comeback when no comeback was necessary Cough*metallica*cough

Guitar Hero is going to make big bucks...to be honest, I was surprised that Tool agreed to put their songs on it too.
