Controversial opinions on metal

[no country for old wainds]

you're all a bunch of caulks.

 

[EspaDa]

impossible, you used a dot!

 

[Phylactery]

Are you referring to the full stop? He almost always uses every form of punctuation except capital letters. I've no idea what he has against them, but this is a good opportunity to ask.

I have no idea what this cock argument is about but Manowar obviously influenced Bathory a great deal, if they invented the style or not I don't really know tho.

Ah, indeed. Should've said 'period'.

No idea what you're talking about.

Why in the world is Rush listed on Metal Archives?

There's consensus out there that their debut was considered 'heavy metal' at the time it was released which was 1974. That obviously isn't the case now when you look at the history of metal retrospectively, but King's-X is also on M-A when I don't really consider any of their stuff metal either. Dogman toes the line but whatever.

I would argue that the closest that any of their releases come to being metal would be parts of Vapor Trails.

Man, i need to check more of their stuff out ... especially those earlier albums.

I thought you were saying you pronounce 'caulk' like 'cock.' I have no fucking idea what's happening right now I suppose.

Yeah, i know we weren't on the same page initially but i thought you would have noticed that after my first response.

Also, can you please explain what you meant by "non-academic American"? Just curious.

i bet he's got a folder of gifs ready to respond to this specific request

Nothing else they did really sounds like the debut, but everything the band did is worth checking out at least once.

 

[The Butt]

People who hate Bathory are fags, whether he "ripped off Venom/Manowar" or not. I could think of worse bands to rip off, like probably half of the riff-soup bands HBB jerks it to.

so was 2016 a really shitty year for doom or what?

What I meant was, I'm more inclined to take a pronunciation correction seriously if the person correcting me is an academic.

There were a number of doom metal releases that came out that I liked. Especially the Barren Grounds EP by Altar Of Oblivion.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

define what/who an academic is.

 

[CiG]

define what an academic is.

This is what I meant: a teacher or scholar in a university or other institute of higher education.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

and what makes you think i'm not a professor at one of the shitty universities out here?

 

[Baroque]

"shitty universities" *lives in the same city as Caltech and not far from UCLA*

Hahaha, oh... So many things, my friend.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'm not going to knock on Caltech
