you can’t dance to any of it
That's the second time you've mentioned dancing in this discussion. Are you sure you're straight?!
Firstly:
Positing 26 distinct types of metal is like maintaining that all the different types of Shaolin King Fu are distinct martial arts, rather than slight variations on a common theme.
Secondly: I stand corrected. It appears that there are two types of metal: fast tempo and slow tempo, but since it’s entirely possible to hear both types in the same song, even that’s pushing it.
Thirdly: Unless you want to look like a spider on a hot plate that’s hopped up on crank while have a grand mal seizure, you can’t dance to any of it.
Once again I bestow Chad tokens on you, since you clearly need them more than I do.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfz680b-G8s. I'm very gradually getting back into doing respectable weights on the big 3, and squats have been feeling really heavy on my back lately and walk out unstable. Today before going to the gym, I watched some meet videos from the 80s. This guy isn't well known, didn't set records in any lift, yet was good in all 3 so had a great total and won several world championships. I watched this video of him handling 865 and thought ok, the weight you are doing is a joke, get serious and start doing it right.
How is it that a song that consists of guys thrashing their instruments while one guy is screaming about mass murder is NOT considered “death metal?”
There are tons of variations of metal, and even though I've been a metal fan since 1993, i don't always see the differences either.
I do know that singing/growling/screaming about death doesn't make something "death metal"; for instance, Megadeth has "deth" in their name and frequently sings about death, but they are thrash metal.
One of my nerdier coworkers who is way more into it than me explained the difference once; the gist of it is the style of guitarplaying and more importantly, how fast the drummer goes.
This YouTube video demonstrates the differences fairly well:

My favorite metal bands would usually be categorized thusly:
Metallica - usually thrash, sometimes groove, sometimes heavy
Megadeth - thrash
Pantera - groove
Type O Negative - goth
Five Finger Death Punch - usually groove
Avenged Sevenfold - usually heavy
Korn - nu
There's more, but I think you get the idea, and this is already longer than i intended
Read MoreI was going to use the recumbent bike and saw that the seat and seat back (which was made of black plastic), was largely white… as if the color had rubbed off over time.
Nope… it was caused by salt from years of people sweating on it and the sweat evaporating.
I'm going to borrow my favorite phrase of yours:
@Typo-MAGAshiv Man, the vcards are flying around tonight!
(takes the expensive whiskey bottles off the shelf and crouches down behind the bar)
Okay… I just pulled up videos of both groups, and if “Bodies” is a completely different genre of music, I don’t see why. The only difference I can grok is that the lyrics are slightly more comprehensible.
gym sweat
As I’ve stated many times, I travel for work a lot, which means using gyms in hotels. There was one particular hotel we stayed at that used to belong to a major chain, but had been sold off for some reason, and it was a standalone property that no longer had to meet the standards of the original brand. Unfortunately, it was in a crappy town and the only other hotel was even worse.
The hotel gym didn’t have wipes, and I would be surprised if housekeeping went in once a month. I was going to use the recumbent bike and saw that the seat and seat back (which was made of black plastic), was largely white… as if the color had rubbed off over time.
Nope… it was caused by salt from years of people sweating on it and the sweat evaporating.
One of my teammates and I went to the local dollar store and I picked up a canister of pop-up wipes to leave in the gym. I scrubbed the crap out of every piece of equipment and told the desk clerk that they had to do a better job of cleaning. I said that it’s both unsanitary and gross, and if they just left wipes in there that most people would clean up after themselves, rather than allowing so much sweat to accumulate that it turned the black seat white.
