Not sure how you can call yourself a Maiden fan and dislike anything since Bruce and Adrian returned.... aside from Final Frontier, that is. That one's a turd, for sure.

On listening to a couple of Black Veil Brides songs, they seem ok. Like they could be good if they have a really well written song, I haven't heard it yet though.
Revisited this. WAY better than I remember but meandered for 2 songs or so. Overall not bad.

Metallica's Ride the lightning is their only really good album and ...And justice for all is one of the worst Thrash albums of its time.
Slayer, and Iron Maiden are also overrated.
Fates Warning and Voivod are far better representatives of quality prog metal than Dream Theater.
Morbid Angel is rather boring.
Early Finnish hardcore punk bands like Riistitye and Kaaos made metal look wimpy at the time.
Rush is in fact a metal band.
Norwegian Black Metal is boring af Bathory is better than all those bands.

Not that unreasonable. The Finnish hardcore comment is asinine but besides that, you could be me.

Not sure how the Finish hardcore comment was asanine. Certainly Riistetyt's Valtion Vankina was far more brutal and heavy than Metallica's Kill em all.
Also since I saw others mention it I do not think pig squeals, and snorting sound brutal at all. To me brutal is based largely on attitude and aggression. There need to be an atmosphere of malice.

Brutal to me is Embalmer's There Was Blood Everywhere or Mortician's Chainsaw Dismemberment.
I say it's asinine because Valtion Vankina wasn't even the heaviest in it's own genre in 1983, but I do think Kill Em All is heavier anyway. So was Manowar at the time, so was Slayer at the time, no way you're going to convince me that Finnish hardcore made Show No Mercy sound wimpy, especially not Hail To England if you're willing to take this all the way to 1984.
Hell, Cirith Ungol makes Finnish hardcore sound wimpy if you ask me.

I dunno, I'd say that it's at least on par with Kill Em All, certainly meaner sounding and the production is heavier too.

Voivod is a good band that's difficult to define, but Dream Theater is better at actual progressive metal.

Glad I'm not alone on that then.
Can't agree on everything but yes I love Fates and Voivod. Both would be in my top 10 fav metal bands (as would Bathory tbh).

I find Dream Theater to be a band who tries too hard and allows themselves to get boring quickly because they don't trim the fat with their own music at least that's how I feel personally. When listening to NothingFace there's never a moment where I feel this section is unnecessary or goes on too long. I also find them more unique in sound.

I enjoy Voivod as well but I'm not sure I'd put them in the same category of progressive metal as DT. Voivod is more like thrash/heavy/progressive. Dream Theater is practically The sound people think of when you say progressive metal. The fact that so many progressive metal bands are DT copycats is very telling.

This isn't controversial, and rightfully so. Dream Theater is trash.
