@Ingow: I'd love to see a metal AMV that's ignoring most of the beats, but builds up an awesome atmosphere...

Well I haven't checked out Merzbow myself, but it's on my to-check list...
Anyway I heard Merzbow is just noise, but so? Hitting some drums with your sticks or hitting strings on your guitar is not noise?

Anyway last time I was in the store and I went up the escalator, then I heard something cool... I thought it was some kind of ambient music, thus I looked up to the speakers... but there where non... I needed a few secs to realise that what I was hearing was actually the escalator which was grinding somewhere... it was actually beautiful and relaxing...
Why some bands use vacuum cleaners for their music got much clearer to me that day xD
Do I want to say something with that? I don't know, I just felt to type that out right now.

For the rest of the thread I'm with Beowulf...

Project Chrome Boy.
i hope thats a joke, it would be one long boring solo and a 25 minute video.
No way dude. I have to disagree with you, plus the amount of skill it would require to make such a video look good....
If I wasn't so damn lethargic I might actually start this project.

Kai Stromler used to maintain a list of metal videos, although he's moved on from AMV fandom - but I assure you, it was a damned long list. Just search videos by artists. If you already have - the problem is most likely not the fact that there's no metal videos, the problem is that your definition of metal is actually just a reference to a narrower set of bands you listen to, and when you don't find them you get pissed off because there's "no metal".

Been there, done that, learned better :roll:
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Metal AMVs aren't really popular in general because otaku AMV fans are a bunch of slack jawed faggots who wouldn't know an ass kicking if it kicked them in the ass.

:!:
Heheheheheh

This also needs to be said.

Why would metal freaks desperate for early hearing loss want to indulge a hobby that is normally attributed to as you called them "slack jawed faggots who wouldn't know an ass kicking if it kicked them in the ass"?

Or is it possible, that among all those anal levels of sub sub sub sub genre metal, there are also slack jawed metal faggots who wouldn't know an ass kicking if it kicked them in the ass too?

If you ask me, metal amvs are as appealing as mytube narutard amvs :)
