Four of the Biggest Drumming Hams on One Stage - Tool, Slipknot, Gojira and Mastodon

jazz blues some commercial has a nice back beat..


Not sure anyone is stuck on either of those.
What I mean is

"why the angry 8th note pounding guitars?"
What's there to rage about anymore- except for a few isolated incidents and I don't hear a specific rage expressed in the Lyric. If I could discern the Lyric I might understand what the gumbling is about
What's the anger over- I could understand Black Sabbath in 1972- I did- but these 21st century bands carrying it on.
What's the beef? What's the new beef? Same as the old beef? Serious questions

What are they rebeling against?

Metal is not my thing, but one can find something to anger at every day if you like - supermarket prices, being cutoff in traffic, politicians wasting time or money, any kind of news headline, crime.

This can be an outlet. You have to admit the chugging drums and guitar have groove.
Yes, true, so too can any kind of music.
you can leave the noise of society by listening to dark things, or lighter fare. Fortunately we have a choice between My Favorite Things and Supernaut.

Bobby Koeble is an absolute monster and his solo playing on Symbolic - although it only consists of a couple of minutes - is absolutely astonishing, angular and entirely unique. You can probably tell I rather like that album by my avatar...


Spine-tingling.

Does a hella good Neal Schon impression on Don’t Stop Believin’ as well ;)

I understand what direction pop music was doing that LED to Black Sabbath in 70-72... It's the part these post-Sabbath bands TOOK - perceived it to be as "the" important part - afterwards, and carried on for near 50 years - in my mind missed the point. Didn't advance. And in some -many ways distilled it down - to it's ugliest shell.
There was some harmony to Original Sabbath in the moods, textures, drum playing.
Bands afterwards took the violent ok head banging part and missed
Like smoke a joint and Chill out. Sabbath did.
It- the new Metal- post-Sabbath- lost any semblance of or didn't emphasize any that I'm aware of subtlety

There are over 109,000 heavy metal bands in the world, according to Encyclopaedia Metallum, an online database. The United States has the highest number of metal bands, with over 22,000.

Not sure what limited information you're basing your conclusions on, but it'd be more interesting to hear what bands you enjoy that were formed in the past 25 years.
 
zero zip nada -with conventional instruments- it's all been done. In the sense it's become like Classical music. People in 2025 still go to Bach and Brahms concerts. Music is a melancholy unless there's some future evolution of the instruments or how it -music is used. Bach's 12-note has been pumped dry

Looks like Sharon’s goons got to the YouTube members who posted the actual broadcast. Hope they’re still alive.

;)

I would actually spend money on a download of that show if they remix it and don’t fix any clams. They can fix the drummer in Mastodon’s lead vocal because it wasn’t on the first half of Supernaut, but that’s it.

All the revenue from the streaming went to charity so it's not surprising that they're taking down unofficial videos of it.
