Controversial opinions on metal

[ProphetofHatred]

Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, they have a gigantic fanbase they arent
*quite* worthy of, but theres no denying their classic great songs and badass live act.

Btw, doesnt fit in the thread, but it does with the topic of Kiss, Detroit Rock City is a fucking great movie.

That was one of my favorite movies growing up. Fuck yeah

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Seagal movies are fucking awesome...

Kiss is definitely one of the worst bands of all time. I'd put them up there with Megadeth, ACDC etc...

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'd put them up there with Megadeth.

Don't know if you're joking or being serious. Either way, that's a pretty hilarious thing to say.

 

[waif]

Megadeth's written some great songs over the years, but they've never released a really great album. Killing Is My Business, Peace Sells, and Rust In Peace are all good, but too inconsistent to really be great, and everything else is just different shades of mediocre.

 

[J.]

I'd take Megadeth over the other three of the Big 4

 

[Nephilim96]

Slayer's first 3 are better than anything Megadeth has done.

Slayer >> Megadeth >= Metalica >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FAGTHRAX OOOOH ME FUNNY

Rust in Peace is pretty much a flawless record, but I agree the others are fairly up and down.

 

[J.]

Yup, RIP is unfuckablewith. I enjoy everything up to and including Youthanasia, but ignore everything after.

slayer never interested me. if i was forced to pick their best, itd be show no mercy or hell awaits. fuck everything else

 

[Krow]

I would rather listen to Slayers shitty albums than Megadeths good albums.

 

[Baroque]

... and this.

I'll agree Anthrax at their worst are pretty gay. Anthrax at their best are fucking great though. Listen to Deathrider again imo.

 

[Nephilim96]

You rather listen to Diabolus instead of stuff like Peace Sells? Reeeally?

exactly. when they're bad, they're awful. but when they're on, they kick serious ass.

---------------------

the "average metalhead" is just as predictable and prone to herd mentality as anyone else. perhaps more so no

go to any metal concert and you'll witness hundreds or thousands of people conforming. the difference is that their click doesnt number in the millions. rather, it numbers in the thousands. But it exists nonetheless. it's clearly evident by the 'metal uniform', which without fail is ever present and in full effect.
the conformity is so thick you can cut it with a knife, much like what you'd expect at any pop "concert". the difference is in how it superficially manifests itself.

Rust in Peace is pretty much a flawless record, but I agree the others are fairly up and down.

Dawn Patrol and the title track are easily on par if not worse than I Ain't Superstitious, and Peace Sells doesn't have any other super-weak links (although Devil's Island is a little generic).

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Dawn Patrol rules. I Ain't Superstitious is stupid and Devils Island is indeed quite generic.

Well, it's not worth getting into a philosophical difference about this, but the key to your statement is 'just as'...

Maybe they 'herd' or 'conform' but they're not as quick to do it as MTV or mainstream music fans.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dawn Patrol is awesome if only for the bass line

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The album already has Five Magicks and Poison Was the Cure for overlong bass line intros.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Pyramaze's first album is the best debut record in metal history. Simply outsdtanding.

 

[Dying-V]

Winger rules
