Bad Religion - Overture/Sinister Rouge

I wonder why people don't really notice that a lot of older metal and punk have similar roots. If you look at songs like Ride The Lightning and Fight Fire With Fire by Metallica you get punk lyrics on metal notes. Now, can we find something serious to argue about, or we can whine about arbitrarily labeling music.

Its Melodic Hardcore, not heavy metal.

@feisty1000 Yeah, I said that 3 days ago, read below = )

@laughingskull931 Yeah, I know BR and heavy metal well enough to know they're a melodic harcore band: that why I used the word "does" instead of "is".

But come on, have you heard the song? This is not punk rock/hardcore, this one is pure heavy metal. This one song only. That's what I meant. I like it very much.

whatever you say. but none of those two songs are even close to being categorized as heavy metal. just puttin it out there.

I was speaking about Sinister Rouge. I agree it isn't heavy metal per se, but it seems to me it's BR take on heavy metal. It begins with melodic singing, then metalesque drum roll at 1:11 followed by double kick drums and repetitive fast guitar picking, heavir riff than BR's usal at 1:21. 25s of normal BR then back to the heavy stuff at 1:47 , the list goes on...

It isn't heavy metal nor your usual BR, it falls in between, and that's why I like it so much

thats good for you.

You're right. Everyone else on here is just stupid & looking for a reason to fight, in pure human nature.

Don't worry, I can hear what you're talking about, tukkek. Especially in the recorded version. It does have some metal elements to it, though it's definitely more of a punk song.

People on here are just being dumb. :0

@br00t4lpowermetalomg Yeah, it's BR for sure, above it all... Thanks for the support, I wonder why an inocuous comment like this brings so much hate! I guess "it's the way of the modern world", if you'd quote BR's Greg.
