david gilmore didnt do such a bad job...they were better off before though

I third that opinion.

They peaked with The Wall. Wish You Were Here was almost as good, but the Shine On You Crazy Diamons songs kinda dragged a bit. They just weren't the same without Roger Waters.

Who cares if metal becomes the majority? I'd be greatful if people would finally start listening to good music instead of some of the trash that's been coming out lately.

Hell, I think everyone should listen to bands like In Flames. They're masters of their craft.

Ya know what should get popular? Boom Town Rats. I Don't Like Mondays was a great song. I'd much rather here it all over the place than Outkast's "Hey Now" song

Remember the 80's? Yeah, Metal well bottomout again, which would suck.

I'm with Sam. Old bands are good. Too bad music like that will probably never make any sort of a comeback.

All sorts of music are going downhill.. Mainly pop. And if metal ever becomes pop, you can be sure it'll go downhill as well.

Oh, and fuck Linkin Park. They rank somewhere between Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. Bunch of pansy asses if I ever seen some. Gag me with a spoon.

There's a difference between mainstream metal, such as nu metal ( which is basically the hair metal of today. ), and real metal... If real metal got popular, I honestly wouldn't have a problem with it. There's already a pretty damn good sized underground following, and I don't think it would hurt if it got a bit larger. We'd be able to see a lot more bands who would be able to get on lables because of the booming business, so that could be a good thing.

I don't think it'll turn out like the eighties. That'd be odd.

it was on the top seller list in freerecrodshop in oslo.... in flames... the sins of thy beloved, children of bodom... anyone who knows his/her metal knows thats real metal... it simpley shouldnt be on a top seller list, who came up with the idea of squeezing real metal on a cd and comercialise it?

Sorry its already happened:
For the record, i think its just about the most bullshit thing in the world.
