Korn were the innovators of the rap/metal genre so I am surprised they are not in the Innovators section or even in that book at all.
Any fan of Korn knows they are as metal as metal can be. Listen to the CD Untouchables and tell me they are not heavy metal Roll Eyes

Well, I guess they have their reasons for not putting them in the book but I will never figure out why Shocked

I am very sorry if I might have angered or upset you but the reason I said that is because The Encyclopedia Of Heavy Metal and The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia Of Rock & Roll do have Korn in them so I just think it is interesting that a book with the title 'The Definitive Guide' would not have them in it.

It is a great book and I have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of it so far and I don't usually fork over $20 or more for a book.

Another interesting thing is that the band Head East is not in The Rolling Stone Encyclopdia in the first, secord or third editions Roll Eyes

I know a guy who hates them even though I do like them but I guess everyone does not have the same tastes in music but sometimes I wonder why a person hates a particular group? Just like another guy on another forum hates the band Creed because he claims they lack talent but even if they might lack talent I still like their music.

So I bought the Untouchables and have been hooked ever since. I love their song Right Now because that is how I feel when I am in a very bad mood. I take it you do not like Korn or what Jerry

For those of you who like Heavy Metal Music:

Have you ever heard of Sirenia? Very good, screaming, but singing as well.

Also a *fantastic* band. Apocolytpica. I got to see these guys in Denver. They are from Finland, four cellists. They cover some metallica, pantera and a few others, and they have their own stuff as well. It is a great way to listen to metallica around people who might be offended by some harder forms of music. I LOVE the cello, it's my favorite instrument, too bad I played the violin.

If you like symphonic heavy metal I consider Therion to be the best but the newest Epica and Nightwish are great too If people are offended by harder forms of music they should stick in some ear plugs or go elsewhere Jerry

I did forget

Here are the bands from the Progressive, Gothic and Symphonic Metal catagory from the Metal The Definitive Guide:

After Forever
Dream Theater
Epica
Evergrey
Fates Warning
Kamelot
Labyrinth
Lacuna Coil
Moonspell
Nightwish
Paradise Lost
Rhapsody
Symphony X

Within Temptation

From that list I am familiar with:

Dream Theater
Epica
Fates Warning
Kamelot
Lacuna Coil
Moonspell
Nightwish

I have to admit I thought I knew a lot about all kinds of heavy metal but I might know maybe half of it Shocked

There are so many bands I still have not even heard of and I am finding out all kinds of things about the bands and artists I do know.

And i LOVE Type O-Negative! They do the coolest cover of Summer Breeze! I can't really get into metal too much since I've had kids. But I like everything from Aretha to Led Zepplin to Chuck Berry to Vivaldi

I should have known it but I figured out that the reason Korn and other bands such as Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Coal Chamber, System Of A Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park and P.O.D. (Payable On Death) are catagorized as nu metal bands Embarrassed

I know some people who hate and will not listen to Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and System Of A Down and the one thing they all have in common is the nu metal label Tongue

I enjoy all of those bands and any others which might be labeled as nu metal because to me it is just music which has a good sound and if people don't like it they can listen to whatever they might enjoy Roll Eyes

And, I would bet the author of that book is not a nu metal fan and that is why the only two bands that are in the book are Biohazard under the catagory of neo-metal and Kittie which are in the NWOAHM (New Wave Of American Heavy Metal) catagory.
