Controversial opinions on metal

[The Batlord]

Guess what? That man's "nerdy", "self-indulgent" way of playing is what innovated a style and provided a standard for practice, precision, discipline and passion that elevated him to the levels of those such as Richie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix and Ulrich Roth.

How boring of him.

Oh wow, he could go widdly diddly do real nice. He still makes boring music. Yngwie Malmsteen is like the world's greatest farmer who doesn't know how to cook. Sure the carrots look fantastic, but goddamn do they taste awful.

[The Batlord]

True. But I've already seen him walk back some of his other opinions.

No, I said I'd be willing to give Hank Williams III another shot (at some point). Didn't say I liked him.

That's walking back dummy. Going from hating something as much as you did to "maybe I'll give it another try" is walking an opinion back.

I'm glad you did by the way.

What are you implying here? That he is only a technician and has no sense of songwriting, emotion or melody? The albums I mentioned disprove that a hundred times over.

yeah, nothing wrong with admitting it either. It's not like we all didn't go through it at one point. I listen to a bunch of bands that i disliked in my younger days. That's just how things go.

 

[CiG]

Exactly.

Damn I love this track.

No, somebody told me about something he did that sounded unexpectedly cool, and so I declared a temporary moratorium on hating him until I could hear it for myself. In theory I still hate him.

Really? Cause I hear a guitar nerd on a ego trip.

Well, you'd be fucking wrong then.

[The Batlord]

Oh god, you're all fanboys. He doesn't even wear shirts! Like, ever. If he's gonna be a metal cliche then he could at least be a cool cliche and not a bargain basement Fabio.

 

[CiG]

I'm not a fanboy, I only own a few of his things. I just think you're unreasonable and often mired in some sort of unnecessarily retarded opinion.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Does anyone else's bullshit alarm go off when someone starts insulting someone else's image in the METAL genre? I repeat, the METAL genre.

 

[The Butt]

I don't like Yngwie, I find his music generally shallow and more bells-and-whistles than actual substance... so I'm not taking sides on all that.

But I saw people talk shit about Dokken and only faggots hate Dokken tbh.

I'll take it!

 

[The Batlord]

When you rule, you can play dress up. When you suck, I mock you. And yes, those people all look ridiculous though their music is awesome.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'll take it!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Also im pretty sure most dokken fans have no problem with "takin' it"

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Dokken is definitely the most overrated hair metal band. Lynch is a good guitarist, that's about all they had going for them.

 

[CiG]

Still way better than Trivium.
