There is no such thing as "shred metal." There is shred, and metal. Metal guitarists often shred, and shredders often play metal, but there is no "shred metal."
agreed
Exactly. WTF is this page?
I also agree with that. There's no such thing as "shred metal". Hell, the article can only list 7 artists anyway, not enough to qualify a genre without significant external source evidence.
Since there are now what looks like 4 people saying the page should not exist, and no defenders, I'll officially suggest it be deleted. If no solid arguments appear here within the next few days/week, I'll go ahead. Prophaniti 16:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Alright, looking around there appears to have already been a short debate on deletion. However, I for one found this unsatisfactory. Most of those arguing to keep it simply said that some artists describe themselves as it. But if you take a look around and made articles for every single name bands give themselves, we'd have thousands of these articles. A genre is not worth noting just because a handful of bands term themselves by that name. This article can come up with a pathetic 7 artists, and some of those don't mention "shred metal" in their articles anyway. My argument is thus: if a band is not big enough to have an article on wikipedia, then it is equally not big enough to have it's opinion taken into account. In other words, the only bands that might call themselves "shred metal" are not on here, and thus what they call themselves is meaningless. I have been into the metal scene for a long time and have never once heard the term "shred metal". It's ridiculous. Some bands are thrash. Some bands are speed. Some bands are a mixture of those and others. But this article neither provides a selection of "shred metal" artists, nor gives an adequate definition of the supposed genre. If it is possible to do so, I suggest starting up debate for deletion again. Can this be done? (I'm not familiar with some of the more advanced proceedures) Prophaniti 08:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Look at this:
If you read through it, it mentions shred metal as another name for neo-classical metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mezmerizer ( talk • contribs) 02:27, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
