[mentalfeed70]

@mentalfeed70 That is Alternative Metal!

[muslimmetalman]

@mentalfeed70 i know, people think generic radio rock is "alternative"

but...it's not

[mentalfeed70]

@muslimmetalman Yes people are forgetting what alternative and metal is now we need good bands new ones it seems that new bands are not getting any media attention if you notice all the popular rock bands right now have all been around for quite a while which means once they all break up rock and roll will be dead because the media is completely ignoring the new ones!

[AltairsFaith96]

very good choice but NO DISTURBED?

[coreyhellyeahify]

nice

[ahvipea3]

Marilyn Manson is too good to be here in this list.

[mentalfeed70]

[XV0R73X]

Yea I agree with u man... The old LP was freaking awesome and all the songs played from LP are still from their old albums, not the new shit...

[KusherFierce]

[BreakingBenFanboy]

@KusherFierce ikr ?!?!?!?!???



[fodexiters]

btw, story of the year and rise against isn't alternative metal bands

[fodexiters]

and SOAD ? LOL

[elydawat]

bad taste man..

[Epica124]

Ever one of these bands is Hardrock not metal. Does that make them bad? No but it means that they are not metal. They are Hardrock and there is nothing bad with calling them Hardrock.

[Thrasher726]

Theres only a couple alternative metal bands in here... Rise against? Seriously?

[swanny3214]

@RollerGhosterz no according to vevo there pop XD

[Kjell008]

You forgot linkin park -.-

[yangun100]

@Kjell008 linkin park are nu metal not alternative metal (:

[fodexiters]

@yangun100 no, first of all linkin park are nu metal and alternative, but these times they are a fucking comercial alternative rock, i miss the real LP :s

[ShakaSamurai]

alternative metal and hard rock are the same thing to me...so i dont care so long as i find some good songs to listen to when i train or do somthing intense.

[AlternativeTaco]

you guys really need to know the difference between metal and rock

just because you look it up on the internet dosnet mean there alternative metal wtf most of these bands are rock or just hardrock ?????

[DrftSkillz]

ill nino should be number 1 wtf lmao like one of the most original bands.

[kiltroval]

[TheItalianGamer1996]

@kiltroval Yes, they are cathegorised ad metal

[dikobrazful]

SOAD,Drowning Pool,Slipknot,Nirvana also and so many ,so shut the fck up i hate when some jerk kiddy said this is not metal that is,i agree what say permangatnato91.that is true kidz

[crazydog1223]

Re-Education by Rise Against is punk rock...

[lasto42]

these bands arent alternative metal!!!

alternative metal are slipknot,mudvayne,deftones,hel­lyeah!

You must learn more about metal!

[centralbeeee]

@lasto42 its so funny considering alot of my friends who like death metal think the bands you name arent even metal

[lasto42]

@centralbeeee slipknot,mudvayne,deftones,hel­­lyeah arent metal?

Im sorry, you are right slipknot hellyeah deftones and mudvayne are cumbia and pop rock

-.-

[centralbeeee]

@lasto42 i wasn't trying to say those bands aren't alternative metal, i was trying to point out how subject musical categorization can be and how you were trying to say those bands weren't alternative metal, which is interesting because someone could easily do the same to you

[jalilXvideos]

WTF! man... those bands are not alternative metal .__. you are CRAZY! man im a singer and i have an alternative metal band and thats not alternative metal, thats alternative rock, man omg xD you have to learn more,do you want a reall alternative metal band??? listen to Avenged Sevenfold, THAT is alternative metal -.- you dont know whats alternative metal.

[jalilXvideos]

@RollerGhosterz system of a down is NO metal! guys... dont you know anything about metal?

[StewieHW]

SOAD? Drowning Pool?

[jalilXvideos]

@StewieHW SOAD is NO METAL!

[StewieHW]

@jalilXvideos Then what is SOAD?

[keksimonsta1337]

3DG 4 EVER <3

[XXXJacka1XXX]

Mushroomhead is Industrial Metal, but has some Nu metal and Alternative sides.

trust me, I know what I'm talking about & I personally know the guys. Most of you are right, this video is false. Nirvana does fall under the lines of grunge/rock. And most of the songs in this video isnt metal at all. They just considered Mushroomhead's new album Industrial Metal / Doom Metal. Bands change as they mature. Like Mudvayne for example, their new stuff is Alternative Metal.And Five Bolt Main, Flaw.

[permanganato91]

this is not alternative: this is nu metal and hardcore punk. Alternative metal is like Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Mushroomhead

[gbgkinesen]

@permanganato91 Actually, Slipknot, KoRN, SOAD and Mushroomhead where among those who pioneed Nu Metal, U just lost ur point. Alternativ Metal (Before Nu Metal came to be) is like Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, Tool, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age and so on.

[permanganato91]

@gbgkinesen

1) none of this bands you said are in this video

2) how can consider Nirvana a sort of metal??????? Alternative metal is a fusion of heavy metal and alternative rock. So the alternative metal bands must be METAL and ALTERNATIVE ROCK: Nirvana riff are light rock, or better grunge, like and not like heavy metal. infact Nu metal isn't very considered like metal genre: I means first albums of Soad, Slipknot, Korn and all of mudhroomhead and so on

[noobhave1000b]

THREE DAYS GRACE AND SKILLET FTW!!! Very like

[0051chris]

@LittleBigDood When you talk about say an apple, you don't say- A fruit is an apple. You say- An apple is a fruit ! :D lol. If rock is fruit, then metal is my apple. ;) But yep, i love rock too. hehe. Now you'll say- Rock is the form of music.Yep, I love music too... besides someone special :D :D Then you'll say, 'someone special' is a girl coz i'm a boy. Yep, i love that gal too... Not ALL gals :D :D

Btw nice songs ( keeping aside the genre ) hehe

[LittleBigDood]

[myxa4u]

[ekie18]

@myxa4u They dont....some vocal techniques might sound similar but thats the style of the genre.

[kamalificationable]

[tpoore100]

the only good ones i can remember that were on this were anberlin and three days grace. wtf dude. you should go discover some more music

[permanganato91]

[SimonGaming]

Whoa,

[ValentineBurnedRed7x]

@SimonGaming disturbed sucks, i couldn't listen to it for longer than 2 weeks. then it went boring

[ShyGuyMan258]
