  • MEGA WHAT !?? LOL seriously lol

  • @EVILIMPERIALISM23 I like some punk but please dont say metal isn't political listen to Megadeths We The People or Five Finger Death Punchs Noone Gets left Behind, very political songs and very, very METAL

  • Metal heads are fags atleast punks are political !!!

  • 8:02 god of war

  • I have written both metal songs and rap songs and they are both hard to write. With the guitar I find it easier because I feel one with the guitar. My mind thinks it and my hand plays it. With the digital stuff it's harder in my opinion. When I think of a riff for the guitar I can act it out immidiately and it's done. But on computer software I have to work for hours to get it to sound the way I want it to because the process is more complicated. If it's black metal I can write a song in 5 mins.

  • @suspendmeassholes : D Yes, I too can create a black metal song in 5 mins, but it won't be any good, and I'm sure neither is the one you created in 5mins, If you think composing is too easy, add some orchestrations into it, harden up your drum beat, create a new melody for some part of the song and stuff.. In my opinion a written song is never ready.. I have a couple of songs I've been working on for months and I only have the intro that I'm satisfied with. Good luck with your composing stuff.

  • @Haarissssssssss XD yeah 5 mins is probably not enough. What about the old school punk? It seems they want the songs to sound like shit on purpose. lol. Listen to some stuff like Sex Pistols and it's like they are not even trying. They probably wrote the songs in the studio and recorded them in the same session.

  • @suspendmeassholes Yeah :D I agree, although I started playing guitar as a punk guitarist, because it was easy, but you know it was just 3-5 power chords that you play with the same pattern over and over again :D

    I moved on to melodic death metal and some Thrash metal. Now that was just a whole new level of playing, had to learn sweeping and stuff.

    But yeah, I agree with the fact that Sex Pistols sucks :D

  • @Haarissssssssss XD That's the beauty of the Sex Pistols. I think they really try hard to not make good sounding music. hahaha, the more crap it sounds the more 'punk' it is.

  • Took me 6 months everyday for 30 minutes to learn you to scream and growl properly

  • why do people fight about this? i mean really everyone has an opinion.

  • @wally0000000000 There's a difference between opinion and fact.

  • videos like this are pointless. my response to any faggot who ever told me metal is "talentless" or "just screaming bullshit" was simply "here, take this album, it's called Somewhere In Time, pop that into your computer, and shut the fuck up."

  • I like both Metal and Rap. If you don't like it. DON'T FUCKING BUY IT! Stop trying to tell people what they like. Fucking stupid ass's. I say that with Respect. To my Gang-Stars word up and my Long haired brothers raise your horns. Snoop dog is the shit strate up good poet, Dave Mustain a god and true world wide musician. Get over it, fuck off, listen to what YOU like. F.Y.I. public enemy and anthrax recorded a song together. We get it. You need to open your mind to your fellow american's.

  • @cheapcape Damn dude, do you troll every metal video?

  • Ugh, that Lich King song is in the related videos.

  • I think I broke the like button. o.o

  • I'm a metal head, I will always be one. Any other true metal head will remain one. There is no video, or argument against metal, that anyone could ever make to change our opinion of metal. Metal is something that we feel, the songs each metal head likes are not chosen as in: "I will like this song now." The songs we feel connected to may not be mainstream, and if it ever went mainstream we would reject the band. We are just the "Metal Heads" Tribe. Not all tribes ever get along.

  • What song by Iced Earth?

  • i like rap, and metal. its that damn pop shit i cant stand to listen to. people pass that off as either rock or rap, and it isnt. its mainstream, which is defined as bullshit.

  • Good video But you forgot to mention how Rap dont use any instruments its all made by computer.. Where the fuck is the talent in that? it all drag and drop.. There would be alittle more talent involved if they made there own beat but noo

  • People take metal way too seriously.

  • the heart of this bigotry towed metal is religion

  • not all metal is the "growling" the pop/rap gaywads say is talentless anyway

  • dude, i've been playing the guitar for 8 years and i can't even play that. metal definitely requires much talent. on the other hand, i can indubitably rap like rappers out there, for all it requires it memorizing lyrics (it's just talking; rap is not even music)

    nice VDO.

  • TROLL SUCCESS, STEPHENDOUCHE DELETED HIS VIDEO

  • lol this discussion is pointless. just sacrifice the rappers to thor and get over with it.

    although im pretty sure thor will throw them back at us:/

  • @CypRaider thats why i use cthulhu

  • Should have used Danny Carey for your drumming example, i cant stand fags who think a drummer is the best cause he can thrash on the double bass pedal, for fucks sake danny carey plays in a prg metal band and his drumming is insane without the double bass, even tho he uses it alot he doesnt use it as much as gay death metal bands

  • I agree with this man... morals and ethics is not exactly the street they should take in bashing on metal. [rap] "hey look i'm in a gang im gonna shoot someone cuz our outfits don't match and he keeps writing on a street that i claimed as ours even tho i have no actual claim to it." or my buddy's version. "i went to the store the other day with my girl friend, she said something mean so i shot her!" the end.

  • Fear of the Dark is Iron Maiden's best song!

  • I don't like metal or rap but I know it takes talent play guitar and drums like that. I don't think takes any talent to growl.

  • @pennyroyalteaNIRVANA Growling is such a hard vocal, for lack of a better word, trick to do. Anyone can do it, but most people do it wrong and end up destroying their vocal chords. If done properly it actually takes considerable concentration and strength, just like singing. It is definitely an acquired taste, but it does take talent. I have been playing death metal for almost 6 years and still cannot growl that well. Try doing it for an hour properly and see how hard it is.

  • i love metal but i dont like deep growling like Cannibal Corpse

  • Hey guys whats the song at 2:06 ?

  • FYI, the correct spelling is defense. And I will quote someone here, "Music is like candy, the rappers belong in the garbage." Rap nowadays is nothing but a huge fucking advertisement. "Coca-cola, mercedez benz, Holiday Inn", who gives a fuck? Not me.

  • @KatVonDillon Actually both spellings are correct, depending on where you live of course. Defence is UK English, Defense is US English.

  • @adgTributes

    I see haha my mistake. Thank you.

  • I agree, JMT is pretty good stuff. Nice video.

  • Iron Madien!

  • @robbmanry are the best!

  • the only good rappers is gatas parlament and klovner i kamp

  • @andreaskul1 There are more good rappers than that..

  • Man you explained this in a way no one can, now no one can say metal sucks

  • Weeellll...... technically moshing is considered a type of dancing... isn't dance considered "movement to the music" ? Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • You put togeather this video very well. You made your points without the typical bashing that goes on in just about every other video on youtube. You did research, you supplied facts, examples, and didn't insult anyone elses oppinions, or tastes in music. It's nice to see that there are still people in this world that can approach things logically.

  • UP THE IRONS!

  • And of course, we see not one video response.

  • nice to see another dream theater fan...

  • @MegaMrDT Same here man :D

  • you have given the best bias i have ever seen.

  • I listen to metal and underground hip-hop regardless of what people say, if people like mainstream pop-rap that's great. Weed out the week!!!

  • i remember as a kid, i would listen to headbangers ball AND mtv raps every friday. now everything is generalized, if youre a metal fan you CANT like hip hop, and if youre a hip hop fan you CANT like metal. i say bollocks. youre not a music fan if you cant open your mind, and youre not a metalhead if you think a7x and bullet for my valentine are good bands. just wanted to put it out there.

    sincerely - an old school metalhead/hip hop fan

  • @cheapcape: uhhh thanks i guess? And fyi, if i do listen to metal or rock, it doesnt means im a sellout. It means its MY personsal taste! Get out of that thinking mindset!

  • there is a similar war in south america, between people who like rock or metal with reggaeton, that shit is kind of rap mix with reggae and it was created by puerto ricans. there's videos like this one too. and just wanna say Viva el Metal lml.

  • @ival88 You are insulting reggae music? Fuck you bitch.

  • @cheapcape I'm not insulting reggae, I'm insulting reggaeton. If you want listen that shit look for it in u tube then compare it with reggae.

  • Comment removed

  • Can't we just all fucking get along and agree that both genres aren't what they used to be? Popular modern rappers and metal bands are both of way less quality and meaning then they used to be

  • @CapnPuff69 I can agree with you there.

  • DREAM THEATER FTW! Im a guitar player and I cant even play what Petrucci was playing lol. Also about the metal being growling and no talent and anyone can do it, sure anyone can growl but can you do it for and entire concert without loosing your voice or having your throat bleed? I've tried growling before and I always end up loosing my voice. And yes anyone can rap, come on, even kids do it and become famous in an instant. I dont think that many kids could be in a metal band lol

  • @RedTearz92 Shit many kids are in metal bands fool. It takes zero talent to make noise. You got to know HOW to play instruments fag!

  • @cheapcape and it takes zero talent to talk unto a mike with a beat in the background. Im also a keyboard player, my sister's boyfriend tried to show me that rap took talent, he showed me many song so I would try to learn them on the keyboard and it took me less than a minute to learn about 4 of them. Also rap is simple, havent you seen rap battles? People just come say things that are on their mind while someone else does a beat and they do it quick and easy.

  • @RedTearz92 That's just your opinion, not a fact. Your were biased when your sister's boyfriend tried to show you the talent involved with rap, so again you state just an opinion. Factually, there is little or no talent involved with many heavy metal bands, especially now. It is very easy to just pound on a guitar or drum set and make barfing sounds into microphones, it's nothing substantial and anyone can do that. However, playing instruments effectively does take talent granted, but -

  • @cheapcape Continued - many of today's mainstream heavy metal bands don't know what talent is. ALL music, including rap, was way more talented in the seventies and eighties. It does take skill to write effective rhymes and blend them into a smooth rap song. Ice Cube is a great example of what skilled rap music is.

  • @cheapcape Ha yes I have to agree that heavy meta now a days has a lack of talent. However, it is not barfing on a mike. As mentioned before, yes anyone can growl or barf as you say but they can only do that for a limited of time while the heavy metal guys could do it for an entire concert. Also not everyone could strum a guitar. Ive met many people, who mainly listen to rap, who didnt even know how to hold on to my guitar and you say anyone can do it? Also anyone can bang a drum but these guys-

  • @RedTearz92 in heavy metal drums do different combination, not just randomly banging. They could play exactly everything they do live and sing it the exact same way. If it were just banging, they wouldn't be able to play it live. And this video is the defense of metal, meaning any genre so you are mainly speaking of heavy metal or growling. Try some metal bands as avantasia, dream theater, Within temptation, and if you say some heavy metal bands have no talent. Try Between the buried and me.

  • @cheapcape: wow. You fail lol!! Both genres take talent dude. Some more than others.*cough*metal*cough*

    "It is very easy to just pound on a guitar or drum set and make barfing sounds into microphones, it's nothing substantial and anyone can do that.:

    Coming from a dude that has more than likely NEVER played those or any instruments. It takes more skill to do that than just talk random shit into a mike. Listen to bands like Within temptation, skillet, metallica....

  • breaking benjamin, three days grace, transiberian orchestra, and some of those bands other people were suggesting and then talk to us about TALENT!!! I play violin and keyboards alittle bit(and i want to learn how to play guitar) and let me tell you, its not as easy as it looks. Its time consuming, but worth it. How about YOU try learning how to play an instrument instead of saying dumbshit like it takes 0 talent to do any of those things before coming here. All your doing is showing ur a retard

  • @sonicnator Nope, I win, you fail LOL! Metallica fucking blows and Kirk Hammet is a weak guitar player too. You stupid white trash.

  • @cheapcape: lol wow. Not only are you a retarded ass, but you're also a racist dick! Im black dumbass!!!

    And Metallica destroys any shit you've got to throw at me!

  • @sonicnator You are just a sellout wannabe white boy fag! Metallica blows and Hetfield hates blacks too, look it up, son.

  • @cheapcape: wow. you're fuckin stupid! Im BLACK retard!! And Metallica OWNZ!!!

  • @sonicnator Metallica Blowz you sellout !!!

  • Comment removed

  • @cheapcape: Metallica ownz!! And how the fuck am I a sellout? Is it because im musically diverse and not a close-minded dick like you? Or is it because its wrong for a black dude to like rock/metal and they only have to like rap/r&b?(which i find bull if thats the case)

  • @sonicnator Metallica bwnes you, haaa! I'm not at all closed minded, you are. I like many genres - jazz, ambient, rock, rap, blues, classical, folk, r&b. It's stupid metalheads who usually put down other genres, just check out these videos and get a clue. I like any music that has talent and class, Metallica$h has neither.

  • @cheapcape: Metallica ownz!! And Im NOT close minded!! I like other genres aside from rock/metal. I like: jazz, r&b, classical, power balleds, Celtic music, classic pop(Michael jackson), alittle bit of nu-metal, and barely rap.(rap is my least favorite, but i won't mind listening to classics) This guy put down rap as a response to the dick who blindly put down metal with some stupid ass points!! Metallica does have talent and class!!

  • @sonicnator Bald-headed metallica BLOWZ!! Way overrated pop metal group and you know it.

  • If it weren't for Thrash, Death Metal wouldn't Exist. Regardless of what's happened since, Metallica, Venom, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax made Thrash metal what it is.

    Stop being an ignorant little shit and give the band the respect they deserve within their proper context. Just because they aren't great anymore doesn't mean that they weren't before the money and fame got to their heads.

  • @sonicnator I see you also like Michael Jackson, so I guess you do like some good music and are not a sellout. I was referring to someone else.

  • @cheapcape: That still doesn't explain how am I a sellout!

  • @sonicnator If you are black and you only listen to white people's music, then I'd say that is indeed a sellout.

  • @cheapcape: And im pretty sure if he has members that are of Filipino decent(Kirk Hammett) and Danish decent(Lars Ulrich), im pretty sure he isn't racist dude. Get your facts straight

  • @sonicnator Yeah, Kirk is just a sellout with average talent. James has indeed insulted black people at Metallica shows before, usually backstage. He is indeed a racist piece of shit.

  • @cheapcape Make noise? HA! Bet you've never heard of queensryche, bet you've never heard of planet x, bet you've never heard of dream theater, bet you've never heard of king diamond, bet you've never heard of king's x, bet you've never heard of symphony x, bet you've never heard of liquid tension experiment, and bet you've never heard of Crimson Glory. Now if you can bash all the bands i mentioned, then you get a cookie.

  • @RedTearz92 Oh, and you suck on guitar bitch.

  • @RedTearz92 at least a good one, ive seen a crapload of metalcore bands... but not one thrash or prog metal so far (Im working on making one). and yes dream theater ftw

  • @CapnPuff69 Dream Theater blows.

  • Metal today really does SUCK! Electronic music is tight!

  • A proud metalhead! and will always be!!!! \m/

  • @bloodjunkie107 Proud hip hopper and will always be!! \X/

  • @cheapcape I Prepare for an army of metalheads and punks to come to your house and have each of them rape you

  • @iheartblackmetal Now that is truly funny. Haaa! Try it punk and we'll make a statistic out of you and your little bitches !!

  • Metal SUCKS!!!! Rap 4 Life \X/

  • @cheapcape troll....

  • Dancing to metal? Its easy, its called moshing.

  • @Bread23000 Haaa, that's not even dancing fool.

  • There is Metal you can dance to quite easily. Powerman 5000, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Rammstein are the immediate ones that come to mind. There are more, but these are also the best examples. Just listen to "Supernova Goes Pop" by Powerman 5000 or "Du Hast" by Rammstein and tell me they don't get your toe tapping.

  • Can't argue with your logic :D

    Rap sucks.

  • I thought there is a dance to Metal called Mosh.

  • I love both metal and rap, both are amazing genres in their own right. I do not see why people say either of them sucks. Doing that is pointless and shows just how ignorant that person is.

  • I got on my knees at 5:40

  • right on!!! i get stick from people everywhere because i listen to metal and this shows just how ignorant they really are.

  • what's the song at 8:02?

  • @jksikecy Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno

  • @adgTributes Thanks :)

  • hey i liked ur video.I want you guys to listen at Wintersun:Death and The Healing.

    No doubt u will like it

  • metal forever! \m/ {-.-} \m/

  • 250,000 people attended that Iron Maiden Concert

    you'll never see that many fans in one venue for rap

    Metal Rules \m/

  • guys metal has always been the "undeground" music and had a lot of haters and stuff but no its getting very popular i dont know if it is a good or a bad thing

  • this was going great untill you showed that fucking useless "growling" clip and i do say that is fucking talentless its not hard so don`t kid yourself,in my opinoion for both genres here are some good examples of them,

    METAL:Children Of Bodom,Nightwish,Disturbed,Meta­llica and cKy.

    RAP:Styles Of Beyond,N.W.A.,Fort Minor,NU-Centz,Terawrist.

    Don`t expect you all to like them but I reccomend them!

  • @MachoKage1990 No. Bodom are a shitty excuse for a Melodeath band. Nightwish is gay. ANY symphonic metal is gay. Disturbed is not Metal. Neither is cKy. Metallica is shit.

    NWA is the only good rap group you listed.

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow Bodom are not shit,and are a melodeath band?nightwish are lethal like MOST symphonic metal(within temptation,dimmu borgir,serenity and lacuna coil)distubed are metal(nu-metal,alternative metal and heavy metal, they would be their genres)so are cKy (alternative metal,could be considered alternative rock)and metallica are good not great but deffinately not shit!!

    NWA,fort minor and styles of beyond are all good!

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow I beg to differ. COB aren't a bad band at all, and Nightwish had some pretty epic albums a while back. And what about Epica, Within Temptation, and Apocalyptica? They are all good symphonic bands.

  • I love metal, and I love classic real rap!

  • NWA, Cypress Hill, Wu Tang Clan, that's REAL rap, fuck all this bullshit wangster crap out these days.

  • what was the name of the rap song that went "mom i'm sorry for my first letter" or something like that, it might make a rap fan out of me yet (but it will never make less metalhead :P)

  • If anyone tells me that Dream Theater, Nightwish, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Between the Buried and Me, Dimmu Borgir, and Iron Maiden have absolutely no talent then they are blatant liars and in my perfect country would be put to death immediately by suspending them in my room

    from a pole or by a hook and chords and strangle them

    And when they were languishing the executioner would

    commit with them the evils of the flesh. Props to anyone who can tell me the reference at the end there.

  • Don't worry about defending metal. Seriously. Don't. Just enjoy the music bra. Part of what I LOVE about metal is people hate it so much. Why the hell do they even give a shit? So I don't like certain genres of music, but I don't post shit about it...I just DONT LISTEN TO IT. That disdain is what FUELS metal boys. We love your hatred...keep it coming. Keep saying players like Skolnick, Loomis, Broderick, Portnoy, Lombardo, Hoglan can't play...keep saying it. Haha fools.

  • RAP : Retards attempting poetry

  • @punkdude1994 I about died when I read that I will have to remember it.

  • @punkdude1994 METAL : Metalheads Are Talentless Ass Lickerz

  • @cheapcape it doesnt fit , btw thats the reason why metal bands actually come up with their music and actually play it perfectly live with instruments , not the computer plays it for them

  • @punkdude1994 I'd rather hear a computer mix than a bunch of dirty skanks blindly banging on instruments and puking into microphones. Electronic music sounds way better and the beat gets you pumped!

  • @cheapcape hmm :) well dude hearing people puke to the microphone is what gets me pumped personally xD

  • @cheapcape: So your saying you'd prefer fake over real? The fake in this case would be electronic beats.

  • Whats the name of the band and song after iron maidens fear of the dark clip?i would really like to know.thanks in advance

  • @MadXOdin Within Temptation - Mother Earth

  • I love Metal but the one with girl Sucked kinda it was good but not really

  • the thing that i think is gay that most of the guys that say metal sucks block it so you cant add any comments which shows their pussies not facing the truth that metal is the supreme ruler of the fucking universe :)

  • NICE WORK :) totaly Agree ;o)

  • QUIT DENYING ME, YOU RAGING HOMOSEXUAL!!!

  • @DakotaRogersTwo Now how did I know you'd come back with a second account? Oh yeah, you're a typical YouTuber. Grow up.

  • Comment removed

  • @DakotaRogers Actually I think you'll find it's you who have it spelt wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • @DakotaRogers Ok with that statement you just lost the right to even be apart of the discussion here.

    1. Learn to spell.

    2. Learn some manners

    3. Goodbye troll.

  • @adgTributes DOUBLE NIGGER!!!

  • @adgTributes REPENT FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, AND ADMIT IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

  • @cartmancool34 So it's come to spamming with every account you can get your hands on eh? I am done with you, you can spam all you like but I know which of us will look like a fool at the end of it. Goodbye and have fun.

  • @cartmancool34 i think somewhen there will bw a big war between the rock nation 8 includes metal and stuff) vs. noob nation (hip hop pop and stuff)!!

  • I think metal has become the preeminent sound of rock. And its overused. I like some metal bands, but the ones that are creative... and not always emphasizing on speed and complexity.

    I think rock is about sounding/being authentic. But metal just exceeds the genuine sound of a band by sweeping, and pressing your fingers on each string without much strumming involved.

    It doesn't sound genuine or authentic.

    More like robots... like machines.

  • Think of it this way. Metal is a "say and do" kind of sound. What you hear is what its meant to sound like through everyone's ears. There's not enough intricate meaning. The emotions are too straightforward. Like the guitar is saying "This is your time to be sad".

    Its just cheesy shit, really. Anyone who believes "the faster, the harder, the heavier and the more of it's physicality" is better... has a cheesy, simple-minded, barefaced taste in music. With no artistic magnitude.

  • you are right

  • Good vid and a lot of truth there

  • Good vid, keep it up brother!

  • RESPECT BROTHER !

  • All I will say is that both genres have good and bad artists.To find the good stuff, you need to turn off the radio, and look to the underground or back a few decades.

  • Good shit i'd have to say.

    In all my honesty though, Rap and Metal are the same, they require planning for the music and lyrics and such, and they require talent (Yes, rap requires beat, tone, and breath.) And such.

  • ??????? RAP FOR LIFE Xd

  • @RapTheBestGenre if u like, thats ur opinion, this is ours and it seems a bit silly going on a metal vid and saying "rap for life"doesnt it?

  • you should have shown some of the newer metal, its the older metal that most people dont like, no effence, but the majority of metal fans like to listen a mixture of all types of metal, like older powermetal, and newer nu-metal (slipknot, korn)

  • 8:58 I fucking love that show!! xD Stay metal. \m/

  • Nice video response, totally agree. People lost track of what good music is, fact is that more than half the population don't play an instrument or have talent. Therefore they don't know the difference between talent and total BS. Sad really. And when I say good, it doesn't specifically aim at metal, many people search for different things. It can range from lyrics to progressions, melody, simplicity or (in my case) complexity... That's why many metalheads listen to classical and jazz!

  • i agree with everthing you said except the part where you said metal has an epic quaility that rap doesnt have 5/5

  • you know what gets me? there are a TON of metal musicians who end up in music academies and such before quitting to, you know, tour with their awesome band.... but then most rappers come from where? oh yeah, the ghetto (or at least make their image look like they do).... and guess what? i play many instruments, and i play metal because it is the HARDEST and most complicated genre to play.

  • Music=organized sound, every style of music is simply that, all of you should SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY ABOUT WHICH ONE IS BETTER!!! No type of music will be better than another, it is like comparing two paintings no one wins no one loses.

    If all of you are tired of all this mainstream radio crap, stop sitting on your fat ass an let us unite as musicians an overthrow the music industry and restore its former glory. I can care less what style of music you play, rap metal it is all welcome.

  • Parties are ruined by dance/trance/techno stuff always. So basicly I'm only attending if I have to. It's easy to prove that you can make one of these "electronic" songs in just a few hours. It's just lame.

  • el metal es demasiado alto q cualquier genero

  • Rock is Serious and Rap is music to have fun!

  • @dosed92 fully disagree, listen to stuff like municipal waste. Its almost in possible to not go out and party when listening to some of there tunes

  • Whats the growling song called?

  • Technically flawless, but no soul. Keep Dream Theater, please. In terms of guitar players like that, I'll take Criss Oliva every time. Very technical, but with soul.
