Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

Both bands are massively overrated in the end anyway.

TRITSIO is far more difficult to get into and enjoy than anything Atheist has done. I know, because I once talked like you.

 

[Baroque]

If I am showing metal to a noob, there's no way I'm like "here's some Atheist! you'll probably dig these dudes" lol it's just not happening. Start with like Sabbath, Dio, Motorhead. Progress to thrash. Tech thrash. Death. Then maybe Atheist. Not introductory at all.

The Red in the Sky is Techbarb's face when he's posting.

"Once like me"? LOL, you were probably still suckling on milk when i was listening to Atheist.

Atheist's music is not introductory by a long shot.

A lot of people agree that they're one of the easiest tech death bands to get into, even if you aren't a fan of death metal. This is a pretty widely held opinion that I find agreeable. They were even one of the first death metal bands that I liked.

That's not a mark against their music, as I greatly enjoy their first two albums and would recommend them to anyone who likes metal. It's not about being introductory to metal in general, only to extreme metal.

There are different connotations of the word introductory. If you really meant it in that sense then may I suggest using a different word, because introductory can have negative connotations like you're implying that you think the music is basic. Even if you're not, it's best to use language that clearly explains your meaning without the need for a debate like this.

Finally, something from you that makes sense. I dont think anyone can argue with that. But Baroque wasnt saying "easiest tech death band to get into" ... hes just saying they're not a band for someone who is just getting into metal, in which case you can just shoot them an AtG album and they'll probably dig it.

I'm not the one who used that word first, so there's no need to lecture me on what it means.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Trust me ... you need all the lecturing you can possibly get.

Damn, man. Savage. You are so hard.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Says the 20 year old "i was once there" guy to a group of people who are probably older than him and have been listening to metal far longer. You're a big fat joke ... truly one of the biggest posers on these boards.

Cute

Yoda meant that from the fucking start, you fuckers are just too dense and reactionary to read something twice before you fill your diapers.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

lol @ you calling others reactionary

 

[Krow]

It's a shame Embrionic Death never followed up on Stream of Solidarity

 

[Omni]

I only like Opeth.

You could almost say they're my life in metal form.

This seems to hit the bullseye. I'm not a massive fan of either, but i'll take AtG over Atheist any day.

Give me shit like Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, and Autopsy.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I'd take the best by those three over Atheist.

So cute you warned me about it (again). At least when he calls you fat, he's correct.
