How can anyone listen to Heavy Metal music? It is sad how many kids my age (late teens) listen to garbage like Slipknot, as I lay dying, cannibal corpse, etc. What happened to music sounding pleasing to the ear? What happened to music being soulful? What happened to well written songs? Metal bands have no respect for music. I also have yet to meet an intelligent person who likes this type of music. In fact, every "Metal Head" I know is some ignorant, homophobic idiot working some dead end job. Real music- Beethoven, Elvis, The Strokes. What do you meatheads have to say?

Now when kids think metal they think screaming and growling. Why aren't there any bands like them anymore!

Are there any online stores that sell metal music shirts for dogs? I have a maltese who enjoys wearing clothing because she connects it with going somewhere, so I googled for the answer first, with no luck. Anyone know of any good online shops that sell metal music-type band shirts for dogs? I'd love to get a Bathory shirt for her, haha. :P I'd be highly grateful for some websites with such as I've been looking for a while now with no such luck. :( P.S. Please keep comments such as "having a dog wear clothing is cruel." Save it for someone else. I've had vets say how clothing on dogs can actually be quite good for them. Because of weather, sunburning (esp. on short, light colored coats), and even for dogs with allergies. Black and death metal shirts in particular.

What is the crooked claw like hand symbol mean in metal music? Normally you see the "pig ear" hand symbol at metal concerts and such. Lately I've been noticing a new hand symbol in various videos spanning from early 90's metal to today.

The intersection of metal and classical music? I've always been interested in the influence of classical music on various metal genres. I'm not really talking about a band that throws a few strings or a choir behind their riffs, but those that really incorporate classical elements; arrangements, chord progressions, etc. Of all the music styles, it seems like metal (especially thrash and progressive) has the most affinity for the song structure and techniques on classical music, very ironic! Right now I'm listening to Helstar's 'Nosferatu', which I think really exemplifies this style. Any thoughts on the topic? Recommendations of other bands that fit this style?
what scales/modes work for heavy metal music? examples of scales to music I'm now using are major pentatonic works over country/southern rock. minor pentatonic for blues/rock. Dorian mode for rock.

It might just be my application of one of the scales mentioned above. Any help is appreciated.
