Controversial opinions on metal

[Lateralus14]

I was trying to make it stop with some logic about why no one will ever agree :/

But that's the whole point of this thread! To bitch and complain and say "YOUR FAVORITE BAND SUCKS. HERE'S WHY!" and etc, etc.

 

[KafkaX]

Except this topic, along with the Big Four, Burzum, etc. is fucking beaten to death by being mentioned practically every fucking month.

Heres a change:

Ghost/Ghost B.C. are fucking stupid and suck fat dick. I dont understand why so many people fellate them as much as they do because they are terrible.

 

[Krow]

Nah Ghost is cool. Very campy stuff. If you can listen to Zombie Queen and not at least think about doing some silly dance from forty years ago, its probably not for you.

Edit: also naming off Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer in your deepest goofiest voice is fun too.

 

[Balls McHoolihan]

Hate to admit it, but I picked up the two Ghost albums based off of the hype....I'm not impressed. A couple of songs are good out of the two albums, but other than that, it's not my kind of sound. And yeah, I was never into the theatrics in bands. It's all pretty silly.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

The more I listen to Ghost the more they remind me of the Beach Boys, and I'm kind of over them now that I've made that connection. & their sound gets pretty boring after a few listens.

 

[Eligos]

Ghost's music is really dry to me. It doesn't emote. I've never understood the hype.

 

[whiskey funeral]

A boring band using some ridiculous "spooky" imagery to overcompensate for their lack of talent.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

It's because doom sucks...

 

[Mort Divine]

It's because doom sucks...

They're not doom though...?

 

[septichate]

anyone who thinks doom sucks needs to get the FUCK out of metal.

No. Most people that listen to metal like it because its fast, aggressive, brutal etc, so old school doom metal (which I hate) is boring as fuck to people like me.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Oh lordy...am I suspecting some hatred towards Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, etc.? Oh hell no.

Listens to brutal death metal. Says doom metal is boring. Needs to kill self.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

The bands Whiskey mentioned are actually pretty good, especially Pentagram, the doom metal I can't stand is more like electric wizard type stuff, just straight up boring as fuck, I guess that's kind of stoner doom?

 

[Mort Divine]

If someone doesn't like this they don't like metal

 

[Eligos]

Try this on for size, Effigy. Just as intense as Portal. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the slower tempo intensifies it.

 

[Lateralus14]

Stop lumping people with full sets of chromosomes into your camp.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Omg, I don't like doom so that means I don't like metal.

 

[Krow]

You are a false.
