I personally don't consider "metal" music as much as it is a bunch of guys screaming like idiots. But I don't consider it "Satan" or anything so if somebody finds the best way for him to praise God is to scream his lungs out then so be it. I don't care.

And since there's not a choice up there for my opinion, I didn't vote.

Some of it is alright. I really prefer Christian folk and rock music. That stuff is really good.

I thought of putting an "I don't care" option on there, but I figured it would make more sense just for those who don't care not to vote. Hope this is ok with everyone.

Though I do prefer traditional Xian music, and folk, I do see a place foir metel/punk xtian music. Groups such as "Last Tuesday" really open it up to some of the teens who really adore that kind of music. I'm not saying that I feel it belongs in church, but hey, if it makes people happy, why not.
And hey, if you are into that type of music, but not into Xtian music, then there's no problem, these groups are seldom played on mainstream radio anyhow

I think any music that's labeled christian is damn stupid. They smack the word around like its nothing, and it dosent change the music any, still garbage usually.

"we're a Christian metal/punk/rock/whatevah/ band!"

which means?

"we're........Christian?"

which makes your band different from a non-christian band how?

I've never heard Christian metal before, but then again I don't like religious music outside of Christmas Carols, but then again I don't believe in organized religion either. So there you have it.

I think it is awesome that people who feel strongly about their beliefs can listen to awesome music at the same time. And it is even cooler that the music sends such a cool message without having to use harsh language.
