LOL.
Yeah, all metal is like that. Just like all hiphop is a bunch of ignorant guys with low IQ's hollering about their platinum grills and their 5 baby momma's while rocking XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL size sports jerseys, watches with 5 different faces and flat-brim caps tilted to one side.
The type you speak of sounds like 80's glam or "hair metal" to me. Grunge put a stop to that in the early 90's.
There was great metal before and after that time frame/era that didnt involve spandex, big hair, or love ballads. Try artists like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, Jane's Addiction, Sepultura, Soulfly......and I haven't even stepped into nu-metal (my favorite subgenre, aka rap-metal) territory yet.

i don't listen to that kind of hip hop.
grunge sold out almost as fast as it entered the arena. with cobain's death a lot of the purity left.
jane's addiction is more rock and not metal. my problem is that these guys and their agents thrive on this "bad boy" image that is derived from the supposed fear that the biker culture illicits, yet these people are as bad ass as my left nut. most of them have never been in a fight in their lives, and have thighs the size of 10 year old's bicep, but their public image was one of rebellion, constant party, and the threat of violence. yes, people can counter my stance by highlighting the fakeness in hip hop, but i reiterate that i do not listen to fake ass shit. there is so much good hip hop out there that it is indeed a consumer choice to go with studio gangsters for your cd player. oh, and that real shit - yeah, it's not on mtv's top 10, trl, buttfuck behind the scenes, or whatever else.
as for rap metal, it disgusts me and i have no tolerance for it. it is to hip hop what elvis is to motown - a contrived bastard abomination that is not a natural evolution but rather a marketing idea. artists of that "genre" are not artists - they are commodities. i like rage against the machine, and yes, de la rocha's delivery is very rap-ish, but he's not trying to make some crossover paletteable bastard that is designed solely to sell a record.
hey, like what you like, listen to what you want, and enjoy whatever - music is to be enjoyed. that being said, i have the right to have an opinion on what i consider to be trash and what is acceptable.

ac/dc isn't heavy metal... it's a lot like led zepplin... pac had to of liked led zepplin cuz he sampled him in Life's So Hard OG... the metal that is sick is that satanic shit where the guys sound like snakes and you can't understand shit they're saying... awful music
ps. i'm on the hiiiiiiighway to hell...

Dante - you don't listen to "that kind" of hiphop, and I don't listen to "that kind" of metal. You were generalising that all metal is like that, but it's not.
Grunge did indeed die with Kurt, but that wasn't the point I was making. The point was that generalising metal as all being like 80's glam metal is like saying all hiphop is like fabolous/nelly/chingy etc. Metal hasn't been like that for nearly 20 years now.
Rap-Metal is great. Yeah, it did get corporate-controlled and bastardized, but so did hip-hop. That doesn't mean there isn't some great non-corporate rap-metal - mostly from the bands that pioneered it early on and didn't jump on the corporate bandwagon in the late 90's - ie. Korn, Deftones, RATM, Tool, Faith No More, even RHCP.
Same scenario with metal that you described with hiphop, the real shit ain't on MTV or TRL.

Anyways, since when have AC/DC or Led Zepplin been considered metal LOL. Thats hard rock, not even close to metal. Metal is shit like In flames, Pantera, etc. In flames is probably the best metal band there is, imo anyway, and well pantera's guitar riffs, uh wow its like their dropping bombs on you lol.
