Re:Bands - 21:17 05 Jun 05
Look at the HUGE metal bands of the 80s and 90s. For example, Guns and Roses, Metallica, Iron Maiden (I class them as rock though)
The music is hugely layered and melodic, even with the 'screaming'.
Songs like November Rain, and even Enter Sandman have so much stuff going on that it's astonishing - compared to some of the toss that's produced nowadays...
It's tough convincing someone who already has preconceptions, but there's more music in that than there is in a lot of 'pop' and also see my previous note regarding rap.
Having said that, you can keep your Slipknots and Pantera and Sepultura - There might be some talen there, but boy are they completely wasting it..
