Just listen to Amon Amarth

Out of all the posts so far I don't think I've seen more than one actual metal band..

[deleted] · 2014-12-04T15:52:50+00:00

T.N.T. - AC/DC Came on the radio the other day (first time listening to it since TRP) and it was like listening to it for the first time.

I definitely agree with you when it comes to Five Finger Death Punch. There have so many songs about taking action and personal growth, the first track of American Capitalist comes to mind - Lift me up

When it comes to this attitude, you can see Pantera has had a big influence on them. Five Finger Death Punch pay homage to this through their cover of A New Level.

It's hard to go past Pantera, particularly at their peak during Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven. There are so many songs about growing stronger, having self-respect and capturing the masculine energy from anger and frustration to drive you to be productive. Mouth for War encapsulates this mindset perfectly.

But probably the one that is the most RP is Shedding Skin, it contains so many truths.

Right from the start we have a hint about how female attraction is diminished by observing weakness.

I don't want you to look at me while I'm shedding Skin. I can't afford for you to see what's inside me.

It talks about the hollowness of carousal riding, the impending approach of The Wall and how that lifestyle impacts relationships.

You're fucking, and sucking. You're friendless. It's endless. Your flower has soured. It's endless. You're friendless.

And in the next breath it reveals the key to sexual desire in the feminine psyche.

It's harder. And stronger. But no one's been inside you longer. Or harder. Or deeper. To get you off, you need the fear.

FFDP METAL

joking aside I'm glad someone is me talking metal. Everyone someone mentions RP music on this sub, the conversation gets flooded with rap/hiphop...

that ain't my jam man. Can't mosh to that.

someone should type something up about moshing. Good old beating the shit out of each other for fun.

Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills by Pantera is about a cuckold. Listen to the lyrics and you'll really feel fucking angry for some reason.

It seems like you are taking abstract concepts and putting a twist on them, the reason Rap gets posted a lot is because its direct

"She can have a Grammy I still treat that ass like a nominee"

This is directly RP

Also

"She doesn't love you the way she says she loves you believe me"

This is saying a women love is different from a men's , directly, not abstractly.

What kind of man would I be. If I accepted defeat. What would my eulogy read. Here lies a wasted soul

He is saying never give up, always keep trying, thus always keep trying to win the girl because if she rejects you than you are defeated.

This is the problem with abstract lyrics, they can mean anything and can be taken anyway. Not to many ways you can take, "Don't trust a bitch"

You're going to bring up 5FDP in the context of Red Pill and not mention 'Back for More'?

Red Pill metal:

Marilyn Manson's ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR is as Red Pill/Reactionary as it gets, hidden genuisly in the records subtext. Absolute fucking genius.

Metallica clearly had some pill swallowing after their self-titled, as clearly Red Pill standouts include the MGTOW anthem "ain't my bitch," and their ode to the wall: "the memory remains."

Axl Rose was always on the verge of full of Red Pill, but crippled by terminal oneitis, and this struggle is very apparent on the epic "breakdown."

Honestly, if you know what to look for, the Red Pill is everywhere; A few days ago I had on the GWAR song "penis I see" which had some heavily red pill lyrics.

My favorite RP metal song is The Graverobbers work is Never Done by the Black Dahlia Murder. Hands down the best song mentioned in this thread. Also if it's not death metal, fuck it, unless it's slayer.

There's an /r/Redpillmusic sub too, but doesn't really get much notice since it's not on the TRP sidebar.

Dark_Shroud · 2014-12-04T17:59:52+00:00

I've been enjoying Meat Loaf more & more lately.

"Everything Louder Than Everything Else" plus the intro. From Bat Out of Hell 2: Back Into Hell tracks 7 & 8.

XMATIC_4 · 2014-12-04T22:54:35+00:00

If I want to get pumped,or motivated I just lksten to Sabaton. Their songs really carry the essence of war. Brave men sacrificing their lives for a greater cause

heyyoman · 2014-12-05T04:47:59+00:00

Henry Rollins. End of discussion. To cite examples would be stupid. The whole catalog. Play it all. Lift and learn.

OK, what is this emo sounding ballad shit? I was led to believe there was going to be metal in this thread?

No disrespect to the RP side in the lyrics...I guess...still sounds kind of emo and whiny to me. Due to the nature of what metal is and it's history, lyrics alone aren't enough to make metal RP. At the end of the day, this may be inspiring, but it's really rock, not metal.

With rap, the lyrics are the meat and potatoes and of course the lyrics will be what makes it RP and manly. With metal it's a different story. With metal, one must first resolve the question of whether something is metal to begin with. Lyrics aside, it's the focus of will in the musicianship that sets it apart and makes it potentially RP.

Plus, the really good metal eschews lyrics about politics and live in favor of more epic stuff. Yes, there are genuinely metal songs with emo ass "woe is me" type lyrics just as there are real metal songs with political viewpoints. But all that is really short-sighted for metal in my opinion. In other words, the music is what makes metal RP, not so much the lyrics. Good metal lyrics should be too busy with subjects like Evil and global warfare to get bogged down in petty personal feelz. Motherfuckers need to be worshipping Thy Dark Lord And Master and singing about Bubonic Plagues and shit. That's metal!

However, I'm not going to run my mouth and not try and provide examples of metal that's specifically red pill. Somebody already mentioned Amon Amarth so that's a good start.

More accessible, yet more ...dominant (?) would have to be Manowar. Bolt-Thrower comes to mind as well.

In the so-obvious-I-almost-didn't-think-of-it category is Judas Priest, "Breaking The Law"

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down

all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town

feel as though nobody cares if I live or die

so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

So much for the golden future, I can't even start

I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart

you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue

if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Pretty much a summary of how I feel as a RP man.

Another that comes to mind is Megadeth, "This Day We Fight"

Whet with your blood, I sharpen my sword

No turning the other cheek like a coward

Come tomorrow I may lay down and die

But not this day

This day we fight!

And this is just off the top of my head.

Anyone want to go over to /r/metal and ask them for examples of RP metal?

Hollywood whore - papa roach

Pretty much anything by halestorm, system of a down has some good stuff.
