You didn't read my post about the origin of the term "axe". It doesn't come from metal bands, it started in the '50s with sax players, and was soon picked up by guitar players and it stuck. You really do just make an ass out of yourself with every post, it's actually quite amusing. You are obviously just a hater for anything that seems metal to you. You think its all power chords and shredding, well some metal bands yes thats what they do, but if you will stand there and say that all metal bands do only that, well then you are mistaken.
Trivium
Dragon Force
Unearth
As I Lay Dying
God Forbid
Dream Theater
Lamb of God
All of these are examples of metal bands, none of them limit themselves to power chords and shredding. They are all actually very melodic in their styles of writing music, it's just heavy, hard hitting and fast paced.
