Controversial opinions on metal

From what I've read they were hateful to Led Zeppelin in the begging as well as many now legendary prog rock groups such as Rush. Everything I know points to the idea that they were nothing more than snobs who thought their opinion actually meant shit. Robert Christmas I can't stand.

Also I think of metal as being like harder than rock in the literal sense.

All true. The journalists whom were into other types of music used to review Rock bands albums and slag them off and try to put off the public from buying their new albums, it was an attempt to eradicate rock music. The old musicians often anecdote about themselves still being around whereas the journalists have long gone and lost their jobs. Its like when Dave Lee Roth said the reason that the journalists all like Elvis Costello and hate Van Halen is because they all look like him. Led Zeppelin put `in through the outdoor` out in a brown paper bag as tongue in cheek at the journalists reviewing the album very poorly. it was like, OK we will put this one out in a brown paper bag so that no one sees a person has bought it.

Did not know that about the Zeppelin album. I knew about it being in a brown paper bag but didn't know that was the reason.
 
Arg is our resident Nightwish fanfag and full time race troll, I love him, but Jesus his taste is awful. But, believe me, I'm all too painfully cognizant of their existence, some of the most obscenely worthless sonic dreck I've ever been subjected to. And a veritable travesty that they've overtaken far greater Japanese metal bands (X Japan, Bow Wow, Seikima II, Saber Tiger, Loudness, etc.) in popularity here overseas.

God damn it's refreshing to see someone else mention Seikima II. Also does he have a Kaiji or manga pic?
 
I saw them live, and their lip movements were out of synch with the vocals I was hearing. I was needing subtitles at the bottom of the stage.
 
I noticed red hot chilli peppers announced for another festival today, wtf is with it and how come they keep singing songs about how they come from California? The slap-Bass shitbags , every song sounds the same and is shit. Interminable funk shit. Put a cock sock on it. People only like them because somehow they think it is cool to like them, fuck knows why. They are shit. Time for a pot of tea anyway. Give it away now, what a pile of shit.
