Controversial opinions on metal

[Satanstoenail]

....but masvidal blew me away
him and reinhart
and tony choy

Same. Except Tony Choy didn’t play on Human unfortunately, Steve DiGiorgio did. And his weird fretless bass tone didn’t fit in the mix so he got buried.

 

[EspaDa]

Soulside Journey is the best Darkthrone album



INTO THE ABYSS I FALL

No, it isn't. It's their best death metal album.

 

[DisconnectedFromReality]

Filosofem is actually Darkthrone's best album ;^)

 

[Sirjack]

[Sirjack]

[Talos of Atmora]

Yeah, he was on Testimony of the Ancients with Pestilence and then performed on Unquestionable Presence and wrote and performed material on Elements.

 

[Satanstoenail]

And then he joined a salsa band

 

[CF87]

yeah im pretty sure l voted leprosy for best death album in the poll but l ain't talking about that era.

[Sirjack]

yep - Tony Choy - forgotten bass demon for multiple outstanding acts

 

[EchoForever]

No, it isn't. It's their best death metal album.

which incidentally is their best album

 

[EchoForever]

Let’s restart this...I think Varg is a pussy and only got the better of Euronymous because it was a total sissy fight...and I think the skull fragments/brain matter myth is total BS

 

[Der Morgenstern]

HOT TAKE BRUH.

 

[Nate Skalman]

Sick burn, kid

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Euronymous was clearly the genre's biggest talent. Ironic that a scene full of Nazis needed a commie to make it worthwhile.

 

[Nate Skalman]

What would be a good example of Euronymous’ talent? I mean definitely a pivotal figure and ok if he he just stuck to rhythm but his lead work was total ear assault

 

[Der Morgenstern]

He's probably talking more about what he did outside of the band stuff with his shop, label, whatever.

 

[Nate Skalman]

Of course the necklace story is played out...I was more angling at the Napoleon Dynamite fight, or if ‘Varg’ even did it- his story seemed pretty rehearsed

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Was he not the major songwriter of a lot of Mayhem's earlier material? And yeah, forging the black metal identity was largely his doing as well afaik, even though I don't personally value that.

 

[Nate Skalman]

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”...
