Controversial opinions on metal

[HamburgerBoy]

The first two Motley Crue albums (Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil) are some great traditional metal records. They pretty much suck after that.

Anyone that takes issue with the first two Crue albums is just being a try-hard.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

"traditional metal" lmao ... hard/pop-rock is not metal. And those two albums suck.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Pop-rock, huh, ok

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

wtf? no not metal, that's hard rock. from a shitty glam band.

i love how some people today are trying to pass all this garbage form the 80's(especially glam) off as metal, when not a single person referred to shit like that as metal when i was growing up.

 

[CiG]

How old are you? Pretty sure @H.P. Lovecraft considers it metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i honestly dont care how old he claims he is. I'm just speaking the facts. And the more you guys say otherwise, the more i question whether you guys actually listened to metal growing up.

What im talking about... people referring to shitty glam bands as metal today, when on one considered them to be metal back then is not a new topic either. It's been a heated debate for a while now. You can even catch it in some metal documentaries.

I didn't listen to metal growing up. I didn't get into metal until I was I wanna say 15. I didn't grow up with white people, so metal wasn't an early influence on me at all.

lol, oh is metal exclusive to only the whites out there in aussieland?

You haven't heard of the abo thrash gangs that roam the frontier?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

next thing you know one of you guys is going to claim bon jovi are a heavy metal band.

If you grow up in black and brown communities you're more likely to hear other kinds of music first/instead, is all I'm saying dummy.

i grew up in Los Angeles, so i dont know what you're talking about. I mean, i listened to rap too but metal and rock came first.

Metal was pretty popular when i was tiny. The more popular bands were getting air time on the radio, headbangers ball, beavis and butthead etc.

Jesus Christ, did you grow up in random Latino households or did you live in a house with your white family? Not really sure how this is hard for you to follow.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

smh. wow, just wow. Are you that soft in the head?

You said "if you grew up in black or brown communities" ----->>> i'm telling you i grew in in Southern California/Los Angeles(one of the most diverse, multi-ethnic areas in this country). And i also told you metal was popular worldwide when i was growing up, especially LA. Not rocket science brow.

edit: and i have never lived in a "white neighborhood". And my family(household i grew up in) is Armenian, so its not like they grew up listening to metal. My dad likes Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin, Cooper and a few other bands. But he also likes ABBA .... one of his late buddies was a huge metalhead, and so are a few of my cousins ... but most of them actually listen to rap.

 

[The Ozzman]

I didn't get into metal until I was in my 20s and Motley Crue is definitely metal you idiot.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

shut your casual mouf.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

"lmao ... hard/pop-rock is not metal.

Pop rock bands today wish they could have released albums like Too Fast for Love and Shout At the Devil.

 

[CiG]

Whatever cunt, I'm saying I grew up around a bunch of black and brown cunts and mostly heard hip hop and blues.

 

[RedStorm]

What is this argument about? I had never heard real metal until I was 13, none of my family listened to it. Your family and upbringing have an effect on some of your choices but they can also have nothing to do with them.

 

[CiG]

Sure. But I come from a huge family so most of my cousins were a bit older than me and so I got into what they played.
