When I think "metal" I think Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. People call that "hard rock" now and call "metal" something else. Whatever.

I don't think any metal fans would call Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath anything other than metal. Blue Oyster Cult is more borderline...

Blue Oyster Cult? I wouldn't even consider them metal by old standards, at least not compared to Iron Maiden or Sabbath.

It doesn't help that metal is, at this point, almost as diverse as rock, so the label is largely meaningless unless you add a bunch of adjectives to it.

And I don't really feel like learning all of this, although a pal who sings in a band got me interested whenever he'd explain the differences to me.
Electronic music has the same slew of terms to distinguish this or that variation and I'd have no idea what they're talking about.

A new guy arriving next week on the project had "hard <something> fan" on his resume, including that he regularly goes to Belgium and Netherlands to attend festivals. My boss thought it was like me because the coworker who didn't know Deep Purple/Nirvana/Queen apparently put me in the "hard/metal/etc." crowd after a couple links. Nevermind that I linked her more pop or folk than metal or rock. :<

I gotta educate these music plebs.

Who the hell doesn't know Queen..? That's like not knowing who Queen is. It's just not possible. How could someone think a person with any interest in music wouldn't know Queen?

In my experience most people learn the names of songs long before they learn who the hell performed and/or wrote them, if they learn either at all.

I don't remember where Annette went. I'll listen to the new album later - Imaginaerum is really an amazing album.

I know tons of people were super pissed/sad when Tarja left, but I think I liked Annette's popmetal style better. Not to say I disliked Tarja; the operametal was just not my highest preference. Although her Over the Hills and Far Away cover is fucking amazing. I'd love to see her and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) duet that shit.

Also, Planet Hell.


I was surprised at the time, tho not pissed cuz well, it's not my place to decide how the band should be run. Annette was fine, and so far my only exposure to floor is the Wacken 2013 DVD they have, and she fucking killed it.

This just makes me sad, Queen is by far my favourite band, and while I don't expect everyone to have that love, I don't know how you don't know at least one song from Queen these days . Maybe I'm just an old fart....

I actually enjoy programming in Scheme! I think it's a lot of fun!

I will admit though, it is very easy to get lost in a sea of brackets. That's why I'm getting a Math Degree though; it's going to help me deal with all of those brackets.

So the place in the woods where I've living right now is a fairly popular location for abandoning your pets. It's... depressing.

I have similar thing with metal - I enjoy Iron Maiden, tallica, Helloween, Blind Guardian. But whenever I check some newer metal records, it seems like all of it is black/death (fast, aggressive, growling), even though they are labeled as various different metal subgenres.

? The stuff we've been discussing (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, After Forever, etc.) is pretty much as far from Black/Death as you can get lol. It's a mix of Power/Progressive/Symphonic.

As I recall, there is a ton of artists that hop around between the metal genre's so I don't believe it'd be uncommon to see guitarist jump from power/symphonic to black or death or whatever.

Meanwhile a friend found a very interesting NPC today.. Yippee ki ya as they say..

I was merely talking about how it sometimes feels weird to qualify bands like Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath as metal, I guess bands you mention don't sound like all those that I checked in past several years.
