Controversial opinions on metal

I assume that's sarcastic. Because Jim Carrey.

I'm surprised you're that old. I assumed you were in your late 40s or early 50s but nope. Almost 60.

Well, I'm glad I give off an air of youth relative to my age.

Fun? I didn't realize generic radio schmaltz with none of your original fire and bite was "fun".

I have and continue to listen to way worse. And I don't really know how you could criticize those albums for being "generic radio smaltz" when they were made in a style that was popular in the 80s but not at the time they were actually released.

It's 80's a little, but at the same time they adopted an aesthetic to their production and composition reminiscent more of modern rock than anything. Sanitized of all grime, guts, and grit, and distilled into an essence of boring, antiseptic auditory fodder.

That's the ultimate problem. It was gutless. The visceral quality of their previous records was part of the appeal.

I hope you're referring to their 90's and 2000's work.

Obviously.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Agreed then, I just thought you may have been reaching back to the three 80's records I rattled off earlier.

 

[The Batlord]

Gutless or not, no way am I taking myself seriously enough that I can't enjoy something this gloriously stupid.

The door is over there, don't let the knob confuse you, you're not supposed to deepthroat it.

Shit? Now, now, you leave Darkthrone's last few records out of this.

Lars almost got his ass kicked by Nikki Sixx? lulz

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

lol, yeah that's funny. But everyone knows lars is a little twat.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I love both Crüe and Metallica, so them feuding is comical to me. Had Nikki caught Lars? Let's just say Metallica would've needed to do some auditioning afterwards.

I'm more tripped out that Savatage was still getting play on MTV at the same time as "2x4" apparently.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm guessing it was for Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24, which ended up being a massive hit when they rebranded it was Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Also I had seen the photos of Lars and Kirk sticking their tongues close to each other but had never seen that video. Kirk looks fucking creepy, like some kind of yellow Danny Elfman clone, lol.

 

[The Batlord]

He looks more like a way more boring Johnny Rotten.
