On that note, oh the arrogance of age

Live and learn is a great motto

http://www.realmckenzies.com/music.html Give this a listen. It won't bite,spit or throw it's toys out of the pram

k, just listened to "Nessie" how exactly does it compare to linkin park or nine inch nails?[/quote]

OK I bow low to your superior musical knowledge

hmmm, all your doing mate is trying to put me down, *bad word* explain yourself already, linkin park is not punk, they may have punk influences but the mainstream punk does not apply to them christ.

sarcasm and arrogance will get you no where with me mate.[/quote]

Take a deep breath mate . Last thing I'm doing is trying to put you down. Open up your mind a little maybe but no need to get all upity about it. It's only a forum. Musical style can directly or indirectly influence many musicians including the likes of linkin park , who I just so happen to be listening to right now , and can be classified along with those influences. For example http://www.rocksoc.org.uk/wus/artist/nine_inch_nails/

Count the referals to punk AND nu metel and see what you find.

I'm not chest beating aradon , Are you ?

No bad language was used in any of my posts

lmao i start a thread about happy music and your all not happy ahahahahaa.
Oh and yes i LOVE Reel big fish!!!! lolz

I swore out of exasperation, you seemed unable to accept that linkin park are not strictly punk, there may be slight tinges and influences but thats not the main gyst of what they do.

If i open my mind any further ill have my brains on display, you wont find a more liberal person than i, you simply seemed to be trying to make me out as a fool LOL and in your posts you sound very narrow minded yourself mate, refusing to accept my take on things.

i know the different genres, I know what I like, punk is not something I like, LP are not "punk" par sé

Okay, im looking at that link you gave me, i counted 7 references to punk, 60 references to metal and 35 references to rock, Yes i agree i can see the strong punk influence too

lol i'm sorry crofter but i have to agree with aradon, metal has nothing to do with punk if anything it comes from blues etc, punk is generally political music metal can be like that but in lyrics only.

Depends what you define as metal. If you take the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) as the start of metal then punk predates it, however Sabbath was around before punk (but I don't know when they were defined as heavy metal - they almost started the genre themselves...)

I have to completly disagree that Maiden came from the Punk Scence! I think thats the funniest thing i have ever heard! Have u ever listened to Maidens first album? Please point to one song that sounds punk.
