Controversial opinions on metal

yeah, its pretty ridiculous out here in California too. Not to that extent, but its pretty bad. Especially if you wanna carry one in your car. But i really dont care about that part much since i dont drive around with my shit ... but i can see why a lot of people in other professions would def need to have one with them when driving.

Yeah, they're cool. They're definitely not my favorite but I like them. I don't get the burning hatred people tend to have for them though.

Answer the following questions and I should be able to issue an official certification of in-crowdness or non-in-crowdness depending on the results:

1. Exodus, do you like them, what's your favorite album, what are your thoughts on the first two Zetro albums
2. First two Testament albums, what do you think?
3. Alder-era Fates Warning in general
4. Dream Theater in general
5. Virgin Steele, where do they rank in your metal pantheon?
6. Ares Kingdom, where do they rank in your metal pantheon?
7. Place the following doom metal bands in order of preference: Candlemass, Pagan Altar, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, Trouble
8. Place the following thrash metal bands in order of preference: Artillery, Dark Angel, Demolition Hammer, Exhorder, Flotsam and Jetsam, Holy Terror, Sabbat (UK)

Personally I conceal carry either an old .45 1911A1 or a .38 ACP snub-nosed (with a good old-fashioned pig sticker just in case). Only if I'm headed through a rougher area though. Say a concert out in Detroit, or one of the rough local areas. I keep several other guns around the house in a couple safes for sporting and home defense.

Is this the official in-crowd test?

Everyone's talking about 'in crowd' and I'm over here like:

1) I do like them. Favorite albums: Impact is Imminent, Bonded By Blood
2) They are stellar. Probably in the Top 4 Testament albums
3) Better than the Arch era
4) Great. Train of Thought is their pinnacle album
5) Made one of the greatest heavy metal albums ever but ultimately lower on the scale of trad metal bands
6) Overrated, but good death/thrash
7) Candlemass, Trouble, Candlemass Aeternus, Saint Vitus, Pagan Altar, Pentagram
8) Demolition Hammer, F&J, Exhorder, Dark Angel, Artillery, Sabbat, Holy Terror

What do I win?
 
I'll bite. I've butted heads with Omni more than I ever agreed with her about anything. I mostly purposely don't respond to HBB because everything he says is meaningless trolling/trying to be funny.

I don't post here as much any more because this forum is pretty stale and no one wants to talk about new music. .

The metal archives are better for straight music too. More users, loads of awesome resources. Hard to keep up with all the new shit I find there.
 
I changed from Uneasy_Conscience. I lurk....don't post too too much. I forgot who you were before you changed your name...? But I remember your posts obviously.

Get a damn avi.


Hell yeah dude.

1. Exodus, do you like them, what's your favorite album, what are your thoughts on the first two Zetro albums? I like Exodus to a certain point, my favourite album is Bonded By Blood, Zetro's first two albums are pretty cool but not big favourites of mine or anything.
2. First two Testament albums, what do you think? Fantastic!
3. Alder-era Fates Warning in general? I've only heard the first three and I like them, but not as much as Arch-era.
4. Dream Theater in general? Love the debut, sophomore is cool too, haven't heard past that.
5. Virgin Steele, where do they rank in your metal pantheon? Top tier. One of my all time favourite metal bands. Inconsistent but as a result, every now and then they reach peak greatness as a result of trying new/risky things.
6. Ares Kingdom, where do they rank in your metal pantheon? Mid-tier. Cool band, not much to say.
7. Place the following doom metal bands in order of preference: Candlemass, Pagan Altar, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, Trouble:
  • Saint Vitus
  • Trouble
  • Candlemass
  • Pentagram
  • Solitude Aeturnus
  • Pagan Altar
8. Place the following thrash metal bands in order of preference: Artillery, Dark Angel, Demolition Hammer, Exhorder, Flotsam and Jetsam, Holy Terror, Sabbat (UK):
  • Dark Angel
  • Holy Terror
  • Flotsam and Jetsam
  • Artillery
  • Demolition Hammer
  • Exhorder
 
1. Only own Bonded By Blood. Top ten thrash album. I've never listened to anything else except for The Toxic Waltz which didn't leave much of an impression, but that was probably about a decade ago.
2. I own The Legacy on tape. It's cool.
3. Love No Exit and Perfect Symmetry, haven't heard anything else.
4. No opinion.
5. Own The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: Part I, listened to it through once. I Will Come for You is the only song I remember.
6. Only have their debut. Decent band. Probably haven't listened to them since 2010.
7. Solitude Aeturnus, Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Trouble, Pentagram, Pagan Altar
8. Dark Angel, Demolition Hammer, Artillery, Exhorder, Sabbat, Flotsam & Jetsam (unfamiliar with Holy Terror aside from one song from a mixtape game, which ruled)
