best reason to dislike a metal band

[entanglement]

Those of you who picked lack of skill wouldnt therefore appreciate the simplistic brilliance of Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales ?

Skill != Virtuosity

I think there should be options like 'bad conceptualization' or 'bad implementation'. A band playing atrociously does not necessarily mean that they are not talented musicians. Sometimes it just doesn't click.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

poor/repetitive song-writing
bad vocals
bad production/mixing
shitty riffs
boring, oversimplified drumming (I enjoy technical drumming/complex rhythms)
uninspired
uncreative

etc...

If a band is shit at playing then they are likely to suck.

No. You just need a lot of guitar distortion!

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

'likely'

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

the best reason overall to dislike a metal band is when they wear makeup and look like homosexuals

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Not homos, females.........POLL IT!!!

I can relate to Selling Out or ripping off the styles of other bands. But in any case, I feel Metal is such a perfect genre that even the lamest band may have something to offer.

Which is why Metal > all other genres.

The reasons I would like to single out without expounding are:
1. Someone in a band having short hair.
2. Keyboards and/or no solos
3. Non-English lyrics (though that wouldn't count as metal at all)

You two are complete fucking morons, nice job.

Motley Crue owns your fucking soul son, now go SHOUT AT THE DEVAAAAL!!!

...Or Motorhead? Venom? Most black metal?

I have only heard motorhead aces of spades and do not think the band was lacking skills and musicianship having crappy playing. A band like motorhead would not fall under something like that.

[King Size]

Crappy vocals.

Yeah I would also have to say shit vocals, but I normally have no interest in copy/tribute bands either.

Worked for Korn.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

and they sucked man

 

[Life Sucks]

Well, I wouldn't dislike a band whose music I like. But do dislike bands playing a genre I like (dm, bm, doom) if they play utterly boring music (as is the case with many black metal bands). Also, I have a tendency to stay away from California brutal dm, and brutal dm in general to some extent, even though there are definitely some brutal dm bands I really like.

 

[Life Sucks]

Oh, and in your list, you forgot to put "disagree with their ideologies" for all those overly sensitive pc pussies.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

and they sucked man

Oh, did they? Did they suck? REALLY? I didn't know that! Thanks for telling me!

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

No need to be like that.

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

Bad production (depends on the genre, I usually don't like death metal or thrash metal with a weak production)
Annoying Vocals (Xasthur, Forgotten Tomb, most power metal, lots of brutal death metal vocals)

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Really, it is lameness. I guess I mean poorly imitating others. For a non-metal example, I like muse, and a lot of their songs are imitating radiohead. However, they do it better then radiohead did, so its all good. A good metal example is tool and meshuggah. Tool completly ripped off meshuggah several times on their newest album, but it sure sounds awesome when they do, because they do it right. Wheras all those nu-metal bands sounded like absolute shit when they tried to imitate meshuggah. And all those pantera wannabes? My god, I don't even like pantera, but man, bands can sound really bad. Do you see what I'm saying?
