Band Question - What should I do ?!
Question: I love to play punk and metal all the time. All forms of metal and mainly punk rock. I want to make a band but is it really okay if a metal band plays punk, and a punk band plays metal ? Would people be like on our case or like WTF that just isn't right ! I don't see why it shouldn't be right. Play what you want, right ?

Check out thrash metal.....
I think it would fit your liking
Speaking from a Metal fan. It would be a big shock to the Underground Metal community for Punks to play Metal music. You would probably get bashed and looked down upon by True Metal fans. Many would even take it as an insult against Metal. Sorry to say, thats just how it is.
I mean for example...
The Emos playing Metal and claiming to be True Metal. The Underground Metal Community took that as an insult to Metal because of their image and look down on them. Not to mention their lyrics weren't Metal etc.
EDIT: Not to be rude or insult. But look at your avatar picture (thats not how True Metal fans or bands dress). Its not a good image to look for to play in a Metal band since you would be considered an Emo, and Metal and Emo are enemies pretty much. As witnessed in their anti-emo festivals where they kill Emos.
You'd get razzed a lot by metal purists, but there are clubs that cater to punk and hardcore. That's probably the best you could get.
Lots of bands were a mixture of Punk & Metal .
The Plasmatics, The M C 5, Motorhead, The Rods,
Poison, Circus of Power, Twisted Sister, Suicidal Tendencies, etc .
GO 4 IT .
If there is one thing I hate it is genres. Why would a band want to tie themselves down to a single style? Faith No More, for example, they understood that: They started out as goth, switched singer and went to disco, to rock, switched singer and went to 80s metal, got tired of it and went to make what ever they wanted ranging from metal, to expirimental, to alternative. True fans would like your music as it sounds , not its style of music if that makes sense
@ first answer, so do I need to wear ripped pants, bands shirts with a jacket and long hair to prove I am a metal fan? What if I don't like wearing that but still have loads of metal knowledge? So back to the guy asking the question, if the first answer isn't proof of what a typical reaction would be, I don't know what is.
yea i agree.
all that matters is having a good reason in why you're playing.
Check out Suicidal Tendencies they could never make up their minds.First they were skating punk-then hardcore-then thrash metal-then funk metal,Mike Muir is the worst at steering a band.I wouldn't be surprised if he did emo-whatever.
There's no problem with a punk band playing metal or a metal band playing punk, as long as you do it right it's fine. You can even mix the two genres together in one song if you do it right, emphasis on the doing it properly though. There's no formula to it but some bands succeed at it while many just come off looking like idiots.
