If they didn't like metal, why did they get into the car in the first place? The entire chassis is made of metal, they shoulda got back into their wooden cars!

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Morgan still make cars out of wood (metal too though)

They are cool!

LOL, this reminds me of my coworkers. Guy in his 50s, kids already grown up, very quiet, barely know anything about him. One time we had an event and wanted to carpool. We get all in, he turns the ignition and RAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Kind of surprised me and I learned to not assume too much.

Metal fans are chill, we use music to relieve stress and frustration

Straight faccs, metal saves lives (not ours 😉)

Nah dude, when I'm in that position I take it as my duty to be an advocate for metal.

There's so many genres of metal that I can almost always find something they like. Maybe they won't like Fear Factory, but maybe they'll like Nightwish or Amaranth or Alestorm. We can find out together!

It’s very intellectual. I like the bit where they go RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Maybe you'll like powermetal? I like uplifting music about fuckin dragons.

Or maybe symphonic? There's some amazing harpsichord riffs out there.

Or maybe something you can dance to? It's not all head bangers!

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’d imagine all music about fucking dragons is very uplifting

[–] Alto@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Petrodragonic Apocalypse by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a kickass album. Both about climate change and just dragons and witches and shit.

Full title is PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Love it.

Seconding this, also Infest the Rats Nest is fun as well.

[–] Mrderisant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

These are my favorite genres lol. They're like all I listen to. Been obsessed over Brothers of Metal lately

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ziltoid the Omniscient is the most intellectual metal album ever made.

[–] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Sir Devin Townsend transcends genre

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like pretty much all genres, although I can't tell what they are. I don't know to tell genres. Which is why my playlists are named the way they are.

[–] GitProphet@lemmy.sdfeu.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can't leave us hanging like that bro. What are your playlists called?

This is the way

[–] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alestorm is just... Not my cup of tea haha. It feels a a little too jokey for me. I'd never yuck your yum though \m/

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

It's definitely not meant to be taken seriously lol

[–] teamevil@unilem.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love to hear obsolete in the wild!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah - I'm really digging the Re-Industrialized album atm

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

I've found that lots of non-metal people enjoy Wind Rose's Diggy Diggy Hole. There's even a dance remix...

[–] Hikiru@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I don’t like the throaty metal screaming, I prefer instrumental metal. When I say that I mostly mean the doom soundtrack

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This is it for me, metal has something for everyone, just need to fuck around, in order to find out.

When I'm on tour and it's my turn to drive... Oh boy. Always start the day off with this little ditty, just to remind them of what's coming fornthe next four or five hours. They know it's coming, I know it's coming, I laugh, they put blankets over their heads.
