I commend you on your choices but I can tell you right now that neither of them would fit with the tone of the new film. I've been listening to Manowar since before a lot of folks on this site were even born, I have pieces in my collection that you would give vital parts of your anatomy to get a hold of and I would be disappointed to see a Manowar song included in the soundtrack.
Everyone has their own ideas of what "heavy" and "Metal" and "Rock" are and to be perfectly honest 90% of them are full of sh**!
Music is purely subjective and I have little tolerance for folks shoving their opinion of what "good" music is down everyone elses' throats. That last bit was directed at everyone because it seems like EVERYBODY does it and sites devoted to fans of just about any one particular thing seem to be even worse than general communities.
The important thing with this soundtrack is not who is performing on it (although Linkin Park was actually a "must have" considering their prior contributions) it's about how well those who ARE performing are able to capture the general feeling of the film and its characters and be able to bring the listener into that world through song. You don't just simply listen to music, you feel it, you experience it and everyone does so in their own way but if the song is done right then individuals will all still be taken to the same place. Until you can understand that, don't waste your time barking your opinions at me about music because you obviously don't get it.
I can honestly say I agree with everything you just said, (except for the genres of rock and metal, sure they keep evolving, but tracks that have already been laid down definitely fit into a genre or sub-genre of metal or rock [well most, some bands are pretty crazy to fit into just one genre]), and thank you for the commendation.
I just wanted to share a little bit of what I thought would have been better choices for my own ideal TF movie... and thats as far as anyone should read in to it. I'm fully aware of how the soundtrack is picked and why, but since the reviewers were going off about heavy, as a metalhead, I couldn't
not reply, know what i'm saying
