Controversial opinions on metal

[The Butt]

No

That's what I fucking thought.

 

[The Ozzman]

That's what I fucking thought.

You would deny it's true anyway even if I gave reasoning. I don't have to justify myself to some silly Canuck who can't even get himself motivated to get his life in order unless a woman does it for him.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Lol, yea that cunt is as dry as a bone.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

not while they were detached. And in her case, detached form the rest of the world.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

she's fucking retarded, and has put up some of the stupidest arguments ive ever heard in my life. Like "Def Leppard are more well known and popular than Metallica" I mean, how separated from reality do you have to be to even entertain that idea?

Also they were definitely the first band(Death/Mantas), but i wouldn't credit a single band for the invention of the genre.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I respect her, but she once argued against Death inventing death metal, so yeah.

I've never gotten why people say Possessed did it first. Death (and Mantas) started their discography with material more indicative of the genre as we know it but continued to create music that was more recognizably death metal.

OHHH YOURE SO GOOOOOD lmao

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Well, amongst normies, she might be right. But in terms of even beginner metalheads? Metallica takes precedent in renown without question. I also debated her over her thinking Motorhead didn't invent speed metal.

That's not right amongst anyone . Do you think the average person walking down the street today has heard of Def Leppard? Go take a look at the highest selling artists of all time. Go look at any lsit that has the most popular heavy metal bands of all time. To even entertain that idea is truly mind-boggling.

Metallica arent just the most popular heavy metal band, they're one of the worlds most popular and well known bands period.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Evil Chuck predates Possessed.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yes definitely well known among the older heads because they were being played on the radio all day. But in no way are they even close to being more popular than Metallica. Not on this planet at least.

Which band did she say did do that?

didddidooodadiddaada

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Lmao, ridiculous.

yea she just loves to hate on Motorhead any chance she gets and at the same time loves wanking it to priest every chance she gets. She once said thrash has more in common/sounds closer to priest than Motorhead.

What's up? I figured that I'd drop in and drop some truth, even though I might regret recovering my account later.



These are the things that I actually said, which interestingly enough don't seem to match up with what is being claimed in this topic and are also not really controversial at all.

Also, in regards to my BFF TB's claims about me hating Motörhead and that I think that Judas Priest is the main band that influenced thrash, I actually said that both bands, and others, were all very influential on thrash and that Motörhead was far from being its only inspiration.

[Omni]

Oh, and about Def Leppard, they clearly are around as popular as Metallica and released one album that got more radio airplay and sold more copies than any Metallica album. I also told TB that while they're similar in popularity, I don't view Def Leppard as a metal band even though they've released metal music during their career.

Anyway, that was exciting. I'll see you guys in a year or so.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh so now youre claiming you said they were just similar in popularity? You did not say and ARGUE with me for a full day that they are MORE WELL KNOWN AND POPULAR? To a point where i kept laughing at you and bringing it up for weeks? Please dont lie.

Also i never claimed you said Priest was the main band that influenced thrash, although you clearly implied that numerous times. And i also never said Motorhead was the only band that inspired the subgenre. not once did i say that. So yeah.

Those were two arguments that you got annihilated in. Just face the facts for once

@Omni

Ill post exact word by word quotes since you dont want me posting screenshots.

ME: "DefLeppard are more popular than Metallica?"
YOU: "yes"

ME: "dont ever forget, defleppard are a more well known band than metallica"
YOU: "They actually are, even though you incorrectly think otherwise"

ME:" Walk down the street and ask the next person you see if they've heard of Def leppard, and then ask them if they've heard of Metallica"
YOU: "Def Leppard is more popular than Metallica"

ME: "Someone should give you an award"
YOU: "I'm not sure why you think Def Leppard isn't more popular than Metallica but it's pretty funny"

Yes, very funny

Oh and btw

ME: defleppard are not metal and they are not more poular then metallica

tbh I agree that Motorhead isn't really thrash even though they were an influence. Judas Priest's riffing was closer, e.g. the mid section of Saints in Hell. Motorhead had a lot of the attitude and intensity, but so did Discharge and other hardcore bands also cited as influences.

Death was definitely closer to death metal proper than Possessed. I'd say Slayer was about as much death metal as Possessed.

The Def Leppard thing is retarded though.
