As opposed to today, when almost every band sound alike.


The problem is newer bands dont know history. Some new band maybe influenced by Metallica and not know that they were influenced by Diamond Head in the early 80's; who in turn, were influeced by Sabbath. Bands should listen to who influenced their favorite bands and listen to older music, not just metal or rock. Emo, metalcore( wtf is that horrendous screaching shit?) and newer genres are just bastardize versions of existing styles.
