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!

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!!!!!
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!
I’d imagine all music about fucking dragons is very uplifting
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.
These are my favorite genres lol. They're like all I listen to. Been obsessed over Brothers of Metal lately
Ziltoid the Omniscient is the most intellectual metal album ever made.
Sir Devin Townsend transcends genre
I've found that lots of non-metal people enjoy Wind Rose's Diggy Diggy Hole. There's even a dance remix...
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.
Can't leave us hanging like that bro. What are your playlists called?

Yeah,..
This is the way
I'd love to hear obsolete in the wild!
Hell yeah - I'm really digging the Re-Industrialized album atm
I kinda don't love the Burt/Dino albums (Mechanize aside)... Christian and Raymond evened out the music. That being said Archetype had 5 great songs and just petered off and Misery Threat is painful.
I'd love to hear all four actually collaborate again but that ship sailed. Now FF is just Divine Heresy.
We Don't speak of transgressions.
This is it for me, metal has something for everyone, just need to fuck around, in order to find out.
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/
It's definitely not meant to be taken seriously lol
Personally I don’t like the throaty metal screaming, I prefer instrumental metal. When I say that I mostly mean the doom soundtrack
There is so much more to metal than just screaming! I mean, screaming happens but it's not always the focus.
Check out (apologies for yt links) Amaranthe, Blind Guardian, Ayreon, Stratovarius, Graveshadow, gosh there's so many melodic groups with clean vocals.
You. I like you. I want to add one. Unleash The Archers
Hell yea 🤟 was totally gonna add them too by the list was getting too long lol
-and Beast in Black, Nightwish, Seven Kingdoms, Avantasia...
Hello Metal Detectors perhaps you can help me: I'm into all sorts of music and I've listened to modern day metal.
What confuses me is that Led Zeppelin has also been described as Metal and Heavy Metal. I listened to Led Zeppelin 4 and it has accoustic folk songs on it.
So I guess my question is when did todays metal start to sound like metal? Is there any connective tissue with Metal in the late '60s / early '70s and now?
The heavier rock of the 60s/70s is sometimes called proto-metal. Some of the stuff made by bands like led zepp, deep purple, Steppenwolf, etc. Hell, even the Beatles' Helter skelter is considered proto metal by some.
Also, many metal albums used to have a ballad or two, even bands like Testament, Metallica, etc so it's not that unusual to hear acoustic songs alongside heavier ones.
Not sure if that answers your questions, feel free to ask more specific ones or whatever. It's one if my favourite subjects xD
Modern metal is based on classical note progressions and chords, and sounds quite different to the 70’s-80’s metal. Those were more often than not just rock music (based on blues*) that was more exciting or had more controversial lyrics in it. Nonetheless, it was all branded as “heavy metal.” It was all “metal,” like many 80’s hair bands that really were just rocking out but had scandalous outfits or songs with rebellious natures. Twisted Sister is not metal today. Black Sabbath, however, is.
Back in Black by AC/DC is not metal by today’s standards, it would be classified as Hard Rock, for instance. By comparison, Judas Priest’s Painkiller is very much Metal by today’s standards. Listen to the way the music flows, the note changes being used, the harmonics, and you’ll find that eventually you can generally identify rock from metal pretty easily.
Note: this is for general distinctions and not sub-genres. That’s too complex of a topic to cover in this comment
*see below comment for more details
Not a musician or anything but I thought rock was more based on blues than jazz. Am I wrong?
Not necessarily, but jazz brought a lot of the higher energy that became inspirational for rock and roll to develop. Technically, it is more based on Blues, using similar chords and note progression, and I suppose it would be more accurate to say that the basis for Rock is Blues, with the influence of Jazz’s more chaotic, improvisational methods.
I’ll update my comment to reflect this in the top level
Mostly when people think of blues, they think of… well, having “the blues.” The sad, emotional songs that sing your soul to be rent, whereas rock is usually very different in its popular appearances.
Metallica.
Edit It's more like a Zeppelin - Black Sabbath - Metallica gradient.

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.
