I would probably change "the tropper" to Hallowed Be Thy Name, to be honest. It's my favorite song by them.

I was thinking about Hallowed be thy Name, or possibly Run to the Hills.

NIN is false, not metal.
Sisters of Mercy is false, not metal

Ministry, who administered the next to last concert i had the pleasure of attending (No W.) are false. not metal.

Metal is not administered with keyboard, synthesizers and sound bite tracks. these things are false.

HIM is false, no one has mentioned them, but they suck.

Gwar is penultimate
Lordi is ultimate
Suicidal tendencies is ultimate

hairspray is false, as are power ballads. these use the 'fuck one pig rule' afterward you will always be a pig fucker.

i'll be killed for saying this, but Darrell is not Penultimate, the guy who shot him is.

I have been an Iron Maiden fan for a good while, and my favorite song is The Wicker Man.  Not particularly good to "game to" though.

Suicidal is much more on the punk end of the spectrum.

i disagree about suicidal being more punk than metal. they are 'hard core' or 'thrash' both metal.

they have a large punk fan base. but thats their fans not them.

Hardcore is one of those wierd middle ground things. Suicidal Tendencies is hardcore and probably metal as well, whereas a band like Black flag is generally not considred metal.  Suicidal was defintiely part of the So-Cal punk scene in the 80s though, which is why I stand by my statement.

again, the fans do not make the genre of the music.

a decent example could be the misfits, while they were punk, danzig is not.

a its not unheard of for misfits fans to have and like a couple of danzig records. but that dosnt make him punk.

Metallica is false, they used to be true but are not now.

Metallica with cliff is true, dieing on the tour bus is metal.
Metallica with dave is true, evidenced by not letting substances abuse hinder the administration of metal

Jason is true, this is evidenced by his quiting them to administer metal to whom ever shall need it.

To be honest, anyone who thinks Metallica isn't metal just doesn't know what metal is about. Just because they got older doesn't take away from them being metal. Ozzy is practically a grand-pa shuffling around in slippers, and he's still one of the primary progenitors of metal, and will be forever.

Also, trying to sound 'metal' doesn't make your arguments work, it makes them sound silly and cheap. And yeah, going from one of the biggest metal bands of all time to being in a backup band without a name, where your fame is decreased by at least 75%, is sure metal.

Metallica became false with the Napster shit. Caring more about money than administring metal is fucking false. Metallica song's are actually better when played by other band (Read : Apocalyptica)

Apocalyptica is good, but without the vocals, they're missing a part of the songs and just aren't as strong. Apoc is better playing songs like Hall of the Mountain King.

Metallica stayed metal, because metal is in the music, and the attitude behind that. Going after someone for what is legally theft is hardly "not metal". In this case, it was stupid, because it alienated parts of their audience, but it doesn't impact them being metal.

I'm sorry, but you are just FLAT OUT WRONG.

I'll give you that the Napster thing doesn't make the Metallicats non-metal though.  It just makes them fucking hypocrites since they started out promoting themselves with cassettes that said "Copy this and give it to a friend"...

they have become 'the man' and he is not metal.

prior to their fall from grace, they were true, and now they are false.

Ok, this probably belongs in the confessional, but I only know one of those songs in the poll and that's only because it was in Guitar Hero 3  :-[

I was already beaten to Dethklok :pout, they're going on tour this summer  :love, but I got no job, and little money :wall

Could thunderhorse by dethklok be added to the poll, I cant think of a metal way of saying please so I guess this is the closest I can think of  :mad :fo :wall :fo.

Now Deathklok I know!  But have you SEEN what their concerts are like?  They like parachute in, crushing half the crowd, and then decapitate a few more members during the show.  Not sure if I'd want to go to something like that!   :smirk
