Controversial opinions on metal

Terms like that are for shit like Meshuggah

I've tried several times but I simply can't find anything to like about Black Sabbath. I know they were the first Metal band and all that, so props to them for that achievement, but when I listen to their music without any context-based factors included, it just sounds like utter shit.

Black Sabbath are one of the few bands where most of their discography is beyond criticism. Sorry but it is true.

I dont like judas priest but i wouldnt say dumb shit like "its some of the shittiest metal ever made".

Terms like that are for shit like Lacuna Coil, Meshuggah, and Ghost

OK, true, Black Sabbath are not "the shittiest Metal ever," but their music (without historical context) still sucks a huge chunk of ass. Also, Ghost are NOT Metal.

If you hate Sabbath this much, maybe it is not them that "sucks a huge chunk of ass", but you????

Ghost may not be full on metal but they appeal to a metal crowd and are/were on a metal label

Fine, go ahead and recommend the best song you think they ever made, and I'll give you my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

Basing your opinion on the band on one song? Especially when the band evolved constantly over their nineteen album career?

Nah, that's dumb. Now if you wanted to listen to the best song from each album, then I might be inclined to play along. But it's really not a big deal to me; if you want to have shitty opinions on good bands, that's your right, but just know that people will call you out on it.

black sabbath sucks, I'm not kidding, all of their albums are bland as fuck

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... your face sucks.

ghost, lol. garbage band.

UA: Do you like anything from the 70s or early 80's? What are some of the classic heavy metal bands that you do like?

The best song (in your opinion) off the best album (in your opinion, lad). And interestingly, it's your opinion that I have shitty opinions, which in and of itself may very well be a shitty opinion

Get some taste.

I refuse to narrow the band down to one song when they evolved so much over forty-five years.

And no, my opinions are sacrosanct.

I should charge you for stealing my phrase.

 

[The Butt]

It's mine now. BAAAAAAMMMMMM.

 

[The Ozzman]

Banned.

 

[The Ozzman]

So the last two Sepultura records aren't bad.

 

[J.]

And the new Fear Factory is really good

 

[RedStorm]

sargeist is the best black metal I've heard, nothing else compares. anyone got recommendations?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

The new Fear Factory is ok. Doesn't have a lot of staying power. The new Nile is fucking awesome; I can't stop listening to it.

Asphyx vs Hail of Bullets. Who wins?

 

[Krow]

So consensus here is to hate on Ghost? Their new album is actually pretty good, back to heavy metal... Maybe a little organy but not bad at all.
