why is In Flames better than Atreyu?, i've listened to both and can say i've honestly enjoyed some of both, not all of both in any sence. Are you simply just prejudice to bands you assume cannot make decent music because they have made sissier stuff in the past and are follwed mostly be emotional teenage girls?


No, I'm just prejudiced against bands that rip off of other bands, cry into the mic, and repeat the same chords over and over again.

look into bands from mass. bands like all that remains, old KSE and old Shadows Fall. killswitch gained much respect from scandinavian metal bands such as in flames and soilwork. They were really there at the beginning of "metalcore" and it sprung from guys that liked both hardcore and metal that ended up in the same bands.


KSE isn't terrible. I enjoy some of them and LOG. Both bands I got into a little bit b/c of their live shows.


Shadowsfall, not so much....
 
please don't base metalcore on what you hear from atreyu. have you ever heard any August Burns Red?

fair enough, but without first hand knowledge you cannot know who rips off who (everybody rips off everybody else BTW's it's the buisness nowadays), actual creativity is going to be hard to find, people want to make money and sign record deals not make music. Some people may say screaming into the mic is just as bad if not worse than the "crying" you discribe, and not every chord can be different.

i enjoy any music that's actually still made with instuments currently, the majority of what i hear now is synthisysed garbage and machined perfect tonal voices, as long as it's instumental in some way i can handle anything that sounds good and not give a crap if they musics a little more girly than death core.
 
august burns red is very technical stuff. also, check out Into the Moat (idk if you could call them metalcore, but theyre not straight metal)
 
so whats the point of this thread? just to let all of us know that you think metalcore hardcore is crap, and that you think a certain band is ripping off another bands sound? wow, you know everyone is different some people may think that the bands that you listed above are crap, also some of those bands you listed im sure sound like rip offs of other bands for example opeth, ive heard other bands that sound like them, so what.
 
sorry im not tryin to start anything, just saying that everyone has their own opinion on music, just because someone dosnt like a kind of music dosnt make it crap.

don't dis the opeth. they are the most ecclectic metal band on the planet. what metal band would play a camel cover and play celtic frost and iron maiden covers too? i think more so rmorse was saying that some bands lack musicianship and are the "pop" of metal

i agree that music is art and art is lots of personal taste, and i wasn't trying to ignite anything with my reply. but one can argue that certain bands are popular without having lots of skill with songwriting and musicianship
