Controversial opinions on metal

[Omni]

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.

I've never heard their music. They might be good but I found most of their ardent fans to be annoying posers that don't even like old metal and heavy rock.

I'll be that guy....Hail of Bullets

 

[Omni]

Do you do this on purpose or do you actually think all of these things?

 

[The Ozzman]

I think all the things


Does it matter to you that much?

1) This thread is for controversial opinions whether or not one actually believes the opinion they share.
2) I didn't like MVD's voice until I heard HOB. Something clicked for whatever reason.

 

[Omni]

You can post whatever you want. I was just asking because I find a lot of your opinions extremely strange.

 

[Dak]

HoB easily. I second Ozz's point #2.

 

[The Ozzman]

Strange how? Because I'm the only person you've encountered with these opinions?

 

[Omni]

Pretty much. Some of them are totally out there.

The Rack DESTROYS anything Hail of Bullets has ever done, but if we're talking MVD I'd go with Consuming Impulse over everything else he's been on.

 

[RedStorm]

wrong

Forgot about Consuming Impulse. He was alright on that.

Try leaving your house some time.

Van drunen isnt on all asphyx albums. Go check thise out if you dont like the vocals

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

Ironic considering your account name.

Di'Anno Maiden is awesome. Killers is inconsistent but has a lot of great tracks on it. The first three Dickinson albums are the only truly great ones of the bunch.

There's no album by Iron Maiden that's as good as the best albums by Judas Priest and Rob Halford is also clearly head and shoulders above Dickinson or anyone else in either band as a singer in terms of sheer ability.

Halford is obviously the better singer, but Judas Priest haven't put out anything I like more than Piece Of Mind.

I have no desire to go to a metal event IRL because most metal fans are gross, so I doubt that I'll encounter anyone in my daily life who mentions Asphyx or Hail of Bullets.

I work for the biggest company in the state of Florida already so I'm out plenty.

Their new album is good. It doesn't beat Opus but it is still good.

I was saying that I've encountered plenty of people on the Internet who share similar opinions to mine. GMD is not a typical metal scene subset from my experience.

You've never been to a metal show?

 

[Omni]

I only go to shows every now and then and I don't like when they're crowded. I never talk to anyone when I go.

I would never go to a festival or anything even close or as social because I have no desire to do so.

 

[The Ozzman]

That sounds boring to me, but different strokes.

 

[Baroque]

Yeah I prefer small shows too, but I don't think it's due to being antisocial. It's honestly easier to make friends at small shows I feel. Plus shorter beer lines and you often get to meet the band members.

Hail of Bullets is shit compared to Asphyx's strong albums. The Rack and Last One on Earth especially.
