Controversial opinions on metal

yeah that was always my favourite. 'through the never' has grown on me as well, and i've always loved the first 2 unforgivens tbh (the second one moreso actually).

It annoys me how bands think that when another genre comes along that's more popular than the one they started in, they can just get a haircut and change their sound and nobody's going to be pissed off and everybody's going to love it. Has that ever actually worked?

well that's because "old Pantera" didnt even really have a fanbase and where nowhere near being popular. I don't remember anybody listening to that shit. But Slayer, Sepultura and Metallica already had huuuuge fanbases when they decided to chase the trend.

I wasn't around at the time so I often had to wonder how well known they were back in the day.
