Posted: 8/31/2007 1:50:20 AM | Dark.... Angry... Please crank it up. Yes, I can still PLAY metal kickass...just things like tripping over stage moniters, running offstage and perhaps the ocassional unintended flying groin split are all MUCH harder to recover from is all. And I must admit, I cant get away with running around town in fuzzy tights anymore. Well, I DO it, but its metro so nobody throws bottles at me here. Maybe I should just produce other acts and not risk harming myself (S)
Does Judas Priest look MORE scarie all wrinkled and screwed up???
Met Ripper Owens. Nice young chap. | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 8:16:22 AM | | I'm going to have them play heavy metal music at my funeral. It may be 60-70 years of, and it'll be a while I'll even be considered an adult even. I will still be rocking out with Sabbath, Zeppilin, and other bands. Rock and Heavy Metal is in my veins, I won't stop listening, even if I marry a controlling, bossy chick ((Like that one in Saving Silverman)) I won't stop listening even when I'm 30, or 40, 50, or 60. This topic is about old folks and Metal, I 'm not anywhere near old, but I still felt like I had to post in here. | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 3:27:23 PM | i went to my first rock gig in 1982. i love metal must admit some of the hardcore stuff that around is a bit to hard for my taste.

Posted: 8/31/2007 5:50:54 PM | Love metal, goth, industrial, punk, electronica...I'm sick of classic rock..I've been listening to it for EVER.
FM Radio has sucked since like..oh 1982, and Rob Halford has the best rock voice..just my opinion.
Never too old for good music..it keeps you young. The day I start listening to Anne Murray, please put me out of my misery.
However I also like some classical and celtic stuff, go figure | |

Posted: 9/2/2007 6:22:23 AM | Age is subjective, but yeah, here on POF I am considered old, sigh.
But I just don't understand why younger folks would find it strange that someone over 30 would love metal!
For most folks my age, we were part of the infancy of metal. Why wouldn't we want to watch it grow and evolve?
Just make it loud!
Cheers, Raven | |

Posted: 9/3/2007 1:40:18 PM | ^^^ if your into progressive metal, you should check out bands such as:
Nightwish,
Insomnium
Symphany X
Stradavarius
Shadow Gallery
Sonata Arctica (more power metal then prog)
Kalmah (not really prog, but melodic non-the-less)
Dark Tranquility (not really prog either)
Norther
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
I could go on.... | |

Posted: 9/10/2007 2:14:02 PM | I second Symphony X! It's sad a band that talented had to leave the country at first to get popular.
Also if you're looking for good metal, try the first two Fates Warning albums. The specter within and awaken the guardian are two of the most underrated albums ever, imo. | |

Posted: 9/10/2007 3:41:58 PM | | I'm 52 and still play metal,but it depends on what you call metal,after all it is subjective.Our generation remembers when metal came to be,so why wouldn't we like it?That being said,I'll go out on a big limb and say that what passes for metal these days is generic growling,except for a few progressive metal bands it seems to be more about the tatts , piercings and manufactured anger than actual songs or musicianship.I'm still listening,somebody new please impress me. | |

I saw a video of theirs on TV & thought it was laughable - like cross between Helloween & Poison (shudder). I really didn't think (& sincerely hoped) that anyone was making music like that anymore.
The last new loud records I got were the new Slayer & Shellac LPs, neither of whom are new on the scene, really. With me it's loud music in general rather than your stereotypical metal, though. | |

Posted: 9/13/2007 12:59:33 PM | i always laughed at the group ACCEPT (balls to the wall, lmao) what a major joke they were another one that was a major joke was LIZZY BORDEN (give 'em the axe) good grief when the singer banged his head, his head would be going one way and his hair (large permed bleached out afro--FUGLY is what it was) would have a hard time catching up, rofls-- head one direction, hair the other.
hahahahahahaha | |
