Heavy metal music is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970. This music earned many fans around the world. The most famous and first bands are: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Metallica. Today we have more bands and more subgenres like black metal, death metal, doom metal, gothic metal. And, much more.
Typical instruments: vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and keyboards.
Image & fashion: Heavy metal music is today very popular, so visual imagery plays a large role. Addition to its sound and lyrics a heavy metal band`s image is expressed in album sleeve art, logos, clothing and music videos. A good example for black image can be Marilyn Manson. Rocker Marilyn Manson is indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of the 1990s. Once Marilyn Manson told “I can`t sing well so I need to do something in order to attract audience”. In private life MM is a quiet and peaceful person, but still controversial for many people.
I love heavy metal music and I think that most people have never listened this type of music and they thing that all metals are Satanist. Of course it`s not true. This music is not just a screaming to the microphone. Lyric is about life. And not all the metal fans have long, dark hair and they don`t have pentagram on neck. Unfortunately, some stereotypes can`t be changed. Ian, I want you to say that writing about school is sooooo boring! I will write about something more interesting. It is ok?
Rock on, Dudess! :)
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion: make the print a lighter, not-so-heavy-metal color so I can read it. Thanks!
