They are extremely mainstream pop-metal. I am simply saying, he has not gone to the  metal found past the radio, where the true talent is at.    Odviously they have some talent, or something which gives them record sales, but if you dive deeper, you often find the less popular metal is far more complex and moving. So I think I can label it 'crap' cuz I have given it a chance. Where do you think I started?? I started by listening to the radio and watching some dumb 'Shark Attack" music video show that used to be on tv. I was happy with it at first, then friends suggested some less popular bands, and I realize there is a huge difference.      Popmetal is just like pop punk, pop hip hop, pop rap (I could go on), all of it is made to sell records, catchy little tunes that get stuck in your head.[/quote] Yeah, I see what you mean. But I've actually like, [i]never[/i] heard either Saliva or Drowning Pool played on the radio. Then again, I very rarely listen to it.   I understand what you're saying about the difference between the less popular bands and the mainstream ones. Nightwish is one of the most incredible bands I, personally, have ever heard.. and you know, NO ONE I know has ever heard of them. But I also think that Evanescence is another one of the most incredible bands I've ever listened to, and every other person I talk to knows who they are.  So, I dunno... I guess it just depends on how you view a specific band.[/quote] Around here we have a 'Metal/Rock" Radio station. It plays the mainstream heavy stuff. I still do not enjoy Evanescence, but I guess that is personal opinion. As for Nightwish, they are getting increasingly popular in Europe, but have yet to make a significant mark in America. It would be nice if they got a bit better known, so their merchandise and cds were easier to find, but that comes with time.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post bri872002 Posted at 7:50 pm on Mar. 3, 2005 This topic is aimed to keep the genre topics to a minimum and allow more space for other types of discussion in this forum!  Please post any thoughts you have of genre differences, comparisons, etc. in this topic.   All other topics will be locked to keep room for other areas of discussion!
