True on both, but the late 80’s into the 90’s Metal had some serious guitar talent...Euronymous was a horrible guitarist by comparison, I think his leads easily topple C.C. Devilles’ title for worst solo ever. His songwriting style fit the intended outcome but the word ‘talent’ is a stretch. The Black Metal scene was just a different spin on depressed kids similar to a Norwegian version of Cobain followers IMO, and Euro’s image with the band and scene progressed in a Troma-like cheesiness...anyway people tend to think Varg is a badass or something and I’ve come to the opposite opinion in thinking he’s a total pussy -reminds me of a CSI episode where the killer was a weak pussy and it took 20-some hissy fit stabs to kill the guy who was like 5’5”...
Black Metal does not emphasize on musicianship, they're pretty horrible musicians, but the first Mayhem fullength is one of the few black metal cds I dig, never really got into Black Metal thing for the most part, do like some specific albums but don't listen to them very often
regular people just throw down somewhere and usually don't call the cops unless they're pussies, so not sure what's up with people stabbing each other, but yeah people like to stab and shoot people, so who knows with that shit, never really wanted to stab someone, if I don't like someone don't like them, i've hung out with people I don't like or don't like me, we don't stab the shit out of each other though

SSOASS is the best Maiden album. By far the most consistent and the only one with no filler tracks.
And as far as Euronymous's lead work on DMDS, it fits what the band is going for and the overall tone and arc of the album very well. If you're looking for some virtuosic soloing, then that's not the album (or genre) for you. In fact, it would be disruptive to the overall compositions.

Terribly wrong. It's no better than any song on SSoaSS.
I'm not sure how people excuse the amount of unnecessary repitition or the handful of literal pop metal songs on Seventh Son of a Seventh Son so easily. Iron Maiden was a tighter band that avoided such pitfalls on their best albums.

varg is totally legit
i mean he can be kinda wacky and his rpg is trash but homeboy killed a guy and casually talks about it on youtube
Varg isn't legit because he claimed for years that he didn't stab Euronymous and that he just fell on glass and cut himself. He's a joke and his YouTube channel is idiotic.

What’s in the basket?
He tried to cover it up. Not Legit IMO...This was my intended debate: I just don’t take Varg’s current pseudo tough guy act as very intimidating nor do I find him physically intimidating (if that’s his intent). The obvious back story is cliche, but I find the more recent interviews odd and don’t understand the target audience...but yeah, he attacked a very small guy who was unarmed and revels in discussing it to seem like a hard ass. He was just a kid, really...

There's nothing rebellious about listening to hip-hop as a kid unless you live in an extremely conservative family. As far as I can tell, it's not really treated as an adolescent form of music either. The cool kids don't disavow listening to hip-hop when they reach adulthood.
I barely listen to hip hop anymore. I have some that I really like but I just never get in the mood to listen to any hip hop outside of older Tupac on a regular basis.

Perhaps but it has indeed replaced metal and even rock when it comes to popular music. Take the omnipresent rap verse in a lot of popular songs today. Before then the guitar solo was commonly used.

IIRC, some recent research (which will probably shortly fail to be replicated based on current trends) found that the two music styles most strongly, negatively correlated with IQ were rap/hiphop and gospel.
