Controversial opinions on metal

[rms]

When did I say it was limited to the 1980s?

Manilla Road did not achieve widespread influence in the 1980s like Bathory and is definitely less influential than Bathory..

The parameter of 80s being here begs the question like it is somewhat relevant. If you think Bathory is #1 then whatever. I don't know their music and how often it comes up but you still suggested Manilla Road isn't even in the discussion nor suggested any other bands.

This seems weird to me, given how many times he repeats the names of songs from Frost and Fire and King of the Dead. As expected, your first actual detailed criticism of the album can also be applied to the two albums that you do like.

you wanna tell me edge of a knife is a goof song because of it? sure, definitely. it's just not at least the first half of the album. christ, look at hte lyrics of a 4m opener of a non-doom or ambient band:

The tangled web is slowly woven by feeble leaders mankind's chosen
To satisfy their evil dreams the churning gears of war machines

With iron will they tread across this burning speck of worthless dust
Their metal standards now unfurled they purge the humans from their world

Children of misery centuries long who walked with kings now walk alone
They lie in fear a million deep like cringing herds of human sheep

but I shouldn't even have bothered after this comment

I'd even say that half of the stuff on Paradise Lost is better than anything on any Manilla Road album.

impossible to have a discussion on 'greatness' if one doesn't even appreciate one of the sides.

you asked me about Open the Gates,

You're all over the place. You invoked Bathory, not me. Nothing about my post says that I think that Bathory is the #1 anything, but you'd be living in a fantasy world if you tried to say Manilla Road is more influential than Bathory. Stop bringing up bands if you don't want them compared to your precious favorites.

Some other bands that are also more influential than Manilla Road include Celtic Frost, Venom, Fates Warning, Mercyful Fate, Queensrÿche and Manowar. I'd name more but it isn't like I have to, since you already named a way more influential underground band on your own.

You're also so far up your own ass that you've decided that I don't like Manilla Road, which is weird to me since I own all of their albums and rate quite a few of them highly. If you want to argue with me, you should consider arguing against things that I actually say instead of inventing bullshit like you're doing right now.

what i really wanna see is his list of "the majority of good metal bands" that were inspired by MR.

wow, definitely shouldn't have bothered

Wow, I really hate Manilla Road. I hate them so much that I even own multiple versions of a bunch of their albums.

I was too lazy to make multiple screenshots but I also own all of their albums.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

poor guy, do you relate me telling him that his ears dont work too well to being butthurt like he's been in 95% of his responses here? Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you're still part caveman ... so its kind of my fault for even questioning you here.

No it's a callback to when I told you to fix your ears and you got extremely triggered.

I forgive you, you are full caveman after all.
