Black Metal and Bush

[speed]

I saw this article on SSMT-Reviews.com- and I thought it was a highly interesting look at the world and black metal. http://www.nypress.com/17/5/books/

this just confused me, could someone clarify?

[Astral Poetry]

That was rather stupid. An interesting look, yes, but the author obviously has no knowledge of what black metal is. He's just making assumptions based on what little info. he could derive from Lords of Chaos.

 

[Hammer of Might]

I don't think it's much of a review.

 

[Tool]

It was an interesting comparison, except for the complete ignorance of generalizing every person who listens to Rock as a "nerdoid".

I thought it was refreshing reading what another person removed from the black metal scene thinks about black metal.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Same here.

 

[Life Sucks]

Eh. It might have been somewhat entertaining to read, but the guy who wrote that is ignorant and doesn't seem very intelligent.

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Ermmm that was kind of dumb

 

[genocide roach]

so i guess there really wasnt anything to understand in that article? was i the only one that just sorta sat there thinking "what?"
~gR~

 

[anonymousnick2001]

No.

But it's refreshing to hear the opinion of someone that's not a gr1m BMer.

 

[Rottuated]

Kinda....stupid.

 

[Hammer of Might]

I just don't think it's a very good review - he spends most of his time writing about the scene - and fans - itself (in a superior and mocking tone I might add) rather than actually saying what the book's like.

anomymous, take that fuckin picture out of your sig.

 

[Erik]

Idiotic.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Take that picture out of YOUR sig.

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Its fuckin huge. I dont want to have to scroll down loads just because of that picture in your sig, at least make it smaller.

The reason I liked this article, is that to the rest of the world, Black metal, and metal in general is conceived by the rest of the world, as nothing more than youthful male angst. It has no value to them, they never will admit they like the music, they never will listen to the music because of this image. So, we have a real problem, the world sees metal in a rather petentious haughty way, just as we metal fans look down on their world of pop music and greed, conformity etc.

I explicitly told you NOT to question its power...
