Controversial opinions on metal

[J.]

If you do not worship the first 4 MANOWAR albums you are not a Metalhead.

totally agree. wanna make out?

99% of anything with "-core" attached to it is fucking lame as hell.

I can understand when metal heads cannot accept music like deathcore, or god forbid some good fucking hardcore...But when it they dismiss grindcore, Ill never fucking understand it. Maybe Im just too fucking polarized to see their point of view because Im fucking a grindy dirty crusty at heart, but I fucking love this shit.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Good Grind would make the 1% which isn't lame.

 

[Onder]

Bullshit. There is tons of great Hardcore & Grindcore. Deathcore/metalcore is over now anyway so yeah.

I don't believe Metallica deserves to be part of the big four when you've got bands like Kreator.

and Exodus.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

and Exodus.

Why?

 

[Spiderchrist]

and Exodus.

No.

 

[Lateralus14]

Exodus is 2nd rate next to Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning.

 

[Dak]

Exodus? People listen to that band?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Exodus is fucking awesome and Bonded By Blood destroys Kill 'Em All.

 

[skeptik]

Bonded by Blood is quintessential thrash metal material. And people who still give a shit about the "Big 4" need to not be 15 years old.

 

[SilverCrank]

Exodus is fucking awesome and Bonded By Blood destroys Kill 'Em All.

 

[CF87]

Exodus? People listen to that band?

Bonded By Blood is good, but other than that Exodus suck. Kreator is recycled Slayer riffs.

This, but...Bonded By Blood being good enough to place Exodus above the few great Metallica albums? Hell no. And Kreator isn't from the US That being said, Pleasure To Kill is wonderful but Destruction is better

 

[skeptik]

Sodom is also better. And Exodus would displace Anthrax anyway, not Metallica.

 

[Bitencourt29]

This. The true Big4 should have Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Exodus.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I got bored with thrash metal about 10 years ago. The only good thrash I've heard lately was Morbid Saint, and that was because I never listened to them in the 80's or had an opportunity to do so until I spent a bored evening browsing YouTube.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I'm a fan of most of those bands you listed Kafka, but the amount of garbage among the metalcore, deathcore, and "hardcore" is staggering.

Pig Destroyer were actually one of those bands that got me into extreme metal, and Prowler in the Yard is intense and great.

 

[Umodian]

Anthrax still destroys Exodus. BBB is just not enough.

 

[Satanstoenail]

The big four was/is about popularity, not quality. So the big four shouldn't be anything other than what it already is. They are the big four because they were the four most popular thrash metal bands through its heyday.

This post should be auto-posted every time someone mentions who 'should have been' in the big four.
