Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

Wouldn't that just be a thread about traditional heavy metal?

Basically isn't that what NWOBHM is?

Yes. That doesn't mean that there is no merit to specifically discussing a historically significant period of heavy metal, which is what people are doing.

If you don't want to post in the NWOBHM thread, their discussion has absolutely no impact on you so you shouldn't be worrying about it so much.

You guys are making a bigger deal out of what I said than was meant. I just sort of said an opinion I don't give a damn what threads you guys make.

Yes, except specifically from BRITAIN.

 

[MrTagoMago]

God damn people trying to make something out of nothing.

 

[CiG]

Also we kinda discussed this but I don't see the point in seperating the NWOBHM bands from other artists who were basically doing the same kind of music be they from a different time or different country.

Just trying to explain to you the point of the separation.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Just trying to explain to you the point of the separation.

Because they're from Britain?

 

[CiG]

Because they're from Britain?

Now you're getting it.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

It's the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, not the New Wave of International Drum Circle Trad Metal Circle Jerk. It's kind of a flagrant and solid distinction.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Now you're getting it.

Well I guess we should group all artists based on the country they come from then.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Not true. This movement was specific to, and originated in Britain as a resuscitation of metal after Sabbath began to falter, or at least seemingly so. It's a description of the group of British trad and speed metal bands the cropped up in the late 70's and early 80's to cover the rear for the old guard.

 

[CiG]

This is possibly the dumbest disagreement I've ever been engaged in. I really don't know how you aren't getting this.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

just because you play =/= are a good band who releases timeless albums

Name a single death metal band with more than three timeless albums.

I don't really have an interest in proving myself wrong, so...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

lolwut

 

[rms]

I am guessing you're trying to death metal bands are similar to thrash, and I would agree...so?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

So it's not something specific to thrash but instead applies to basically all metal bands? Making an exception for some of the most important trad bands, I would then agree.

 

[EchoForever]

my favorite bay area thrash band is kreator

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Kreator's Bay Area material is shite, their Gothenburg period is incredibly bland, their Teutonic thrash is sometimes great but often overrated, and their Neue Deutsche Härte material is underrated.
