Do most of the people who play WoW listen to metal?

[Berengil]

Hard rock is one thing, but metal... bunch of screaming and inarticulate trash. Nope

[Mustardisbad]

I'd say a good 35ish% of players listen to metal on a daily basis while playing Wow.

[Kathranis]

I used to be into metal when I was a teenager, but over the years my taste has evolved considerably. I can't really relate to most metal anymore, but I still listen to some hard rock and metal bands that are more bluesy or progressive.

[Thage]

I like metal, but I also like techno/trance, happy hardcore, jazz, classic rock, classic-classic rock (like, Chuck Berry and Elvis-classic), orchestra, symphonic, and the Rat Pack. So, I mean, yeah. Metal's awesome, but I don't really consider myself a metalhead.

My shuffle playlists are the best kind of roulette.

[Ineluki]

Definitely a metal head, but also enjoy rock and many of its variations, blues, orchestra, some big band, and a handful of pop/country songs. Overall favorite band of all time is Iron Maiden.

[Banquetto]

I listen to metal but I never listen to music while I'm playing videogames.

I recommend Sabaton (particularly "The Art of War" and "Carolus Rex") to any WoW-playing metalheads who haven't heard them.

[Ghazan Julio]

Nah, majority of my mates listens to dnb and ukg, but it doesn't mean that majority of wow players listens to dnb and ukg

wth is dnb or ukg

I regret listening to Sabaton now. Thank you. /cringe

I listen to all kinda of music, but my favorite is Metal. Give me some classic thrash or some prog metal and I am a happy man. You name it I probably have something from it.

And to all the people saying Metal is just incoherent screaming, I wont try make you a fan, but its a very ignorant statement. Its the same as saying Rap is nothing but gangster music. Please, at least try to put some thought into an argument before you reduce an entire genre into one tiny fraction of it's whole.

[Faethor]

I listen to whatever I feel like listening to at any given moment. I try not to say I hate (insert genre here) because there are SOOOO many different styles and sounds within each category that it's impossible to describe them with just a few words.

Here is a sample of what I've listened to in the last couple of days while playing.

Fleetwood Mac
Yes
Motorhead
Slayer
Janis Ian
Mighty Sam McClain (soul/gospel/blues mix)
Five Finger Death Punch
Napalm Death
Semblant
Epica
Jewel
Dead Kennedys

So, I try not to say I listen to 'everything' or just certain types. If I like it, I listen to it. Period.

[Cherrysoul]

Depends what i'm doing in game and what mood i am in. Something upbeat makes me PVP better, farming makes it less tedious. If i'm stressed out then chill out music

[Deleted]

Yeah I always listen to impaled northern moonforest during WoW. Hail the Necrowizard! Grim and frostbitten \m/

[Hotmail]

I swear I do more DPS when a good metal playlist is on.

The lack of game sounds does make it harder to pay attention to mechanics but I'm usually waiting for the rest of the raid to catch up anyway so nbd.

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

I listen to metal from time to time, i'm not that into it though.

[Barks]

It annoys me how people describe metal only as overly screaming and thrashing, They are missing a major, major part of the genre and sub genres. there is a plethora of metal bands that have real composed sound, with really good lyrics.

Just a few examples i could think of. However of course one's choice of music is personal reference.

People who say that have seriously no idea what they are talking about.
Metal is a huge genre. And while some bands are indeed that, and they make no effort to hide it, there is also bands like Symphony X. So, it's just best to avoid talking to this kind of person.

[ibage]

Mainly Prog an Power metal, but I listen to most genres of it. I usually have WoW's sound off to listen as I usually have music playing while I quest and such

[Elian]

i listen to classical music and metal. And sometimes combination of both called Symphonic Metal.
