Recommended AMV's using Metal music?

Would it be possible to add an AMV's using Metal music category to the Recommended AMV's section? There are a decent amount of metal fans here on the org and I think it would be a nice addition to that section.[/b]

While I do like the idea, there's the catch of "what is metal?"

Do we allow Linkin Park, because my local library files them under heavy metal?

Wikipedia wrote:Heavy metal is a form of music characterized by aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation.

I would say that is the defition of metal

Linkin park is a combination of hard rock/rap(and emoistic themes IMO)

wow, I made up a word

What Kalium is trying to say is: multiple definitions cause problems. Just because you think of Metal one way, dosn't mean someone else wont think of something a bit diferent and he/she is just as right in putting it in the category as you are for putting your choices down or i am for putting mine. This leads to a scope that is larger than the suggested category was supposed to encompass.
