maybe it's better to just call everytning music. there so many ddiffernt sorts or metal, and layers of metal. s .... i think people label a bands msusuc to a certain genre with his own musical taste in mind....... i just disagree that "metal"fans are all the same and such ..that's just being deaf dumb and blind at the same time...
bands are being called metal to easily i guess. a scream or distorted guitar doesn't make you metal.
but that's all due to personal taste.
if you say ax7, dt, metallica, slayer, obituary, death, syl, machine head, necrophagist, cannibal corpse, morbid angel, deftones, linkin park and all being called metal...i hope that mainstream people do hear a difference there.
anway back on topic!
the change of DT having there first time radio hit, like a real britney spears kind of hit..i think changes are 0,00001% so there's still a change
