Why do so many people here hate DragonForce? You can't deny that they are extremely talented, especially with instrumental performance.
I find it strange how similar tastes all of the posters here have.
At the risk of being expelled from the forums, I'm going to list the metal bands that I dislike, followed by the list that I loooove. And I have a feeling there won't be too many people agreeing with me, by the sounds of things.
Contrary to most people here, I don't find much value to Metallica's music. It does have it's good points, one of the largest being the fact that it along with just a couple of other bands spawned the metal that >>I<< know and love. I find it incredibly repetitive(as riffs play too many times in a song), and the vocal style is difficult for me to listen to.
Pantera is another band I just can't listen to. The riffs are too simple and too predictable. And vocals, again, I can't handle.
Iron Maiden I have only listened to a few times, and the only thing bad I can say about them is their image. The music is good though.
Anyway, I'm not one to dwell on negatives, so on with the positives! I'm just going to make a list, and if you'd like to ask why I like a particular band, then ask away.
The Acacia Strain
After the Burial
Alexisonfire
Avenged Sevenfold (Note: I like all of their music, but Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Waking the Fallen are faaaaaaaar superior to their newest 2 CDs. It took a lot of cringing and forcing myself to like them.)
Billy Talent (Not quite metal, but whatev's.)
Chained Existence
A Day to Remember
Dorcia
DragonForce
Emery
Enter Shikari
The Fall of Troy
The Human Abstract (Only Nocturne... Newest album is blehhh)
I Set My Friends on Fire
Invictus (amazing mix of metal and electronica... I wish this band was still around)
Iwrestledabearonce
Killswitch Engage
The Number Twelve Looks Like You
Protest the Hero
System of a Down
Thrice (The early stuff was metal)
Vanna
Within the Ruins
