Controversial opinions on metal

[Caveman Ninja]

Pantera were kind of boring and are way over-rated. Go on, sue me.

That isn't controversial at all.

 

[cookiecutter]

That's actually the perfect way to describe Pantera

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Or your mom.

I actually like Cowboys, Vulgar, and Reinventing the Steel, but after Cowboys Anselmo's lyrics and vocals got more and more ridiculous, peaking on Far Beyond Driven with "Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills" but staying retarded all through Trendkill.
Anyhow.

 

[FerretallicA]

St. Anger is a really good album

Metallica's best material is on Load and ReLoad (Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, Fixxxer)

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Right - cause derivative, half-assed hard rock is so much better than revolutionary, epic thrash metal.

That song was a joke but I still like their whole discography (Cowboys on).

Bleeding me is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Honest. No tr00 bullshit here. It is SO obnoxious I cannot stand James' voice on it.

Sounds just about right.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

You must not have heard very many songs in your life.

 

[Evil?]

Man, I still remember when I first heard "Crypts of Eternity". It freaked me out so much...

That song fucking rules. x 100

WTF? You must be kidding, right?

I wanna get some of the preCowboys stuff out of curiosity. But I dig all the albums except Far Beyond Driven, which strikes me as aggressive, abrasive, angry, and pretty much devoid of interesting music. Although for some that describes their whole career.

 

[Belligerent]

Far Beyond is fucking badass. I demand you to go back and listen to "Use My Third Arm" or "Slaughtered" again! As far as pre-Cowboys i'd stay away unless you like cheesy power glam.

 

[The Ozzman]

Actually, I prefer Power Metal (or what I've heard of it) over any of the stuff post-Cowboys

 

[Belligerent]

You must be joking, thats pretty ridiculous considering they established their own sound and reached the pinnacle of their career with Vulgar.

 

[skeptik]

The 'pinnacle' of their career fucking sucked horribly and Power Metal is better based purely on the fact that it's not their 'pinnacle'.

 

[Black Friday]

You must be joking, thats pretty ridiculous considering they established their own sound and reached the pinnacle of their career with Vulgar.

If by 'pinnacle' you mean sucking the biggest dick they can, and by 'establishing their sound' betraying thrash metal, then you're absolutely right.

 

[The Ozzman]

That and it isn't boring.
