Controversial opinions on metal

[Winter.]

Katatonia has the best lyrics ever

This.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Almost every band's lyrics look dumb outside the context of the music.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Dream Theater

Katatonia

These.

 

[TheInsane]

The best lyrics in metal are those penned by Martin Walkyier.

Thats not controversial now is it?

 

[Zephyrus]

I don't know why, but I'm almost completely apathetic to lyrical quality. I guess it gets more important depending on how comprehensible the delivery is.

 

[False Joe]

The only worthwhile lyrics are amusing over the top ones.

I need new ways to torture all my bitches
Peel off their skin or cover them in stitches
Sometimes they bleed sometime they spit
Sometimes I feed on their half decayed clit
I've scraped out their guts through their torn open cunt

It's so much fun to make them bleed
But I have new ways to kill them indeed
An electric rod that spwes ten thousand volts
Up her ass I pund it, her cunt implodes
Surging through her sliced open veins
Smoke emits from her boiling brain
Currents flow through her bubbling mass
Sparks and blood shoot from out her ass

Tears are building in my eyes from the stink of your burnt fluid
You hair is singed: your flesh is black, your form reduced to ruin
I pull your crispy outer skin to reveal your bloody tissue
I chomp the chips of harden flesh and lust at your dead sinew

A strange idea has taken over
I'll remove your blistered outer cover
Caress your skinless, dripping body
A burning feeling builds inside me
With staggering force I go inside it
The slims warmth with make my nut spit
I pound her slit 'til I feel it cumming
My eyes roll back the pleasure is numbing

I ride your toasted dripping carcass
With infinite hate I beat your face in
The third hit causes you nose to cave in
Oh my god, she's breathing
What will I do with this toasted hog bitch
Thought she was dead, but I feel her heat beat
A thrifty idea I have excites me
Where is my hacksaw

You feel the bite
Saw through your horribly burnt open flesh
I'll cut off your limbs till you are dead
When you are really deceased
Again I will get my cock wet

So basically brutal death.
Fucking awesome lyrics.

 

[no country for old wainds]

"katatonia have the best lyrics ever" = lol

atg's lyrics still take some beating for me

 

[waif]

Waste of time debating this, it's all opinion.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

On a related note, does anyone of you know of any bands with over-the-top gore lyrics like the ones posted by JFAD, but with clean, perfectly comprehensible vocals?
It would be so much more sinister than those guttural growls you can't make out a sentence of without the lyrics in front of you.

 

[The Ozzman]

How about over the top satanic lyrics?

 

[False Joe]

I think just singing Cannibal Corpse lyrics would fucking ruin the point tbh.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, I don't think Bruce Dickinson singing

"They think they know who I am
All they know is I love to kill
Face down, dead on the ground
Find me before another is found"

would have the same effect

 

[whiskey funeral]

I saw this video of a British comedian/talk show host doing lounge music versions of Cannibal Corpse songs. Pretty funny.

 

[Einherjar86]

The funniest lyrics ever are written by Hansi Kursch:

I am nothing
But a train and
I assume that you don't like me
I'm insane but
Not yet crazy
I will never let you go
Enjoy the ride you'll stay with me
Stay with me
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you
(lyrics from Terror Train, off the second Demons and Wizards album)

Seven rings to the dwarfes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down
One ring to the dark lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In a land so dark
Where I have to go
(lyrics to Lord of the Rings)

 

[The Ozzman]

Frank Zappa writes the funniest lyrics ever and if you dispute this, you don't listen to enough Zappa

 

[Einherjar86]

But Hansi's not trying to be funny. Difference.

 

[Mort Divine]

Thats not controversial now is it?

No, but since lyrics were being discussed I figured "Why not? There is no disputing it!"

 

[Meh]

lyke guns to shoot them my pals right?

Well, there's that.. but also things like a house payment.

no your opninon is worng


Harder than you might think. Generations of inbreeding have left them almost immune to gunshot wounds, which comes in handy when they shoot each other while hunting.

Except for the fact that inbreeding doesn't happen.

 

[The Ozzman]

I question the fact that it doesn't happen

 

[Meh]

In modern times such things don't happen. It happened back in the 1800s and early 1900s during the coal mine war days, hatfield and mccoy fued era. The area was so isolated back then, it's not surprising.

But it's happened in every country at some point or another. It's an ignorant argument to make. And I laugh at it.

And calling someone a redneck is a compliment. Read up on the battle of blair mountain.
