Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Ok.
- Aside from (a very) few riffs and solos Dimebag & Pantera suck cock and are overrated

No .....while im not a fan of their earlier stuff, rest of their work isnt bad at all ... and nowhere near as bad as some of their rabid haters put them out to be.

- The Big 4 suck shit (Megadeth being the most tolerable), teutonic thrash is mostly miles better

Lol ... not even close, and thats coming from someone who's been listening to thrash most of his life.

I would go so far as to say I like all of Pantera's thrash/groove output IMO.

 

[Kreated]

Pantera brought metal into the 90's, really

 

[The Butt]

lol no

Agreed (even though I havent actually hear "reinventing the steel"). Pantera was a great band.

wat?

Ever heard of death metal?

 

[The Butt]

And first-wave black metal. Like, I like Pantera too, but they were just a good band, nothing more.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Pentagram's Relentless is better than any Black Sabbath album apart from maybe Master of Reality. I want to motivate this but I don't have the energy right now. Anyone agree though?

 

[The Butt]

No.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

All Pentagram I've heard is boring Sabbath worship, so no.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Pentagram are incredibly boring and I don't know why the fuck the metal press makes such a big deal out of a fucking crackhead like Bobby Liebling. The guy is a delusional scumbag who cheated and stole from his own bandmates, other bands, venues, and own mother.

 

[Lateralus14]

Pentagram are great and I can almost agree with the above controversial opinion. Not quite though.

Maybe everything past Volume 4.

I fucking love later sabbath. I rarely listen to the early stuff. I used to love the fuck out of it though.

Kinda opposite for me. I got sick of the Dio albums but appreciate the first six Ozzy ones (except Volume 4) much more now. Although Headless Cross has always been a favorite of mine...

 

[SentinelSlain]

Headless Cross is what I was thinking of.

 

[Krow]

I'll say a couple saint vitus albums exist that I'd rather listen to than any sabbath albums. (s/t and die healing)

 

[The Butt]

All the Ozzy-era is great, plus Mob Rules, Dehumanizer, Born Again, Eternal Idol, and Cross Purposes. Hell even the other albums have the occasional good track here or there.

I love everything up to The Mob Rules and at least enjoy everything after. Definitely my favorite band of all time.

Likewise ... Just recently started to appreciate Dio-era Sabbath a lot more than I used to.
