Controversial opinions on metal

[waif]

Now that would be interesting.

Also if you listen to metal based on lyrics then I guess you shouldn't be listening to half of the metal genre.

Unless you're a psychopath.

Pantera sound like dirty, sped up stoner doom. IMO not good, but still better than stoner doom.

What?
What pantera have you been listening to?

Most of it. I'm mostly referring to the blatant southern rock/blues influence. I know it's not 100% accurate. I guess it would be more accurate to say that they sound like heavy metal fused with southern rock, with a hint of thrash influence as well. You can hear that Pantera are influenced by southern rock, as well as Sabbath and Metallica.

another controversial opinion: Following the Voice of Blood is a horrible album, and it's as bad as lot of the generic bedroom black metal I hear. And I like a lot of Graveland's work.

Most of the time i've ranked the Gravelands come to the conclusion this is the best. The 2nd half is monstrously good.

I challenge you to find the southern rock influence on TGSTK (with the exception of the outro of TGSTK). But overall, I'd say there's some influence from Southern rock. But mostly from Sabbath and Metallica n stuff all heavy'ed up.

Pantera are for the most part very bluesy. Sometimes it's hard to say whether it's from the southern rock influence or from the strong Sabbath influence.

Dimebag's solos are way bluesy, definitely. I think it would be from Dimebag's dad being a blues guitarist.

Isn't Phil in some sort of BM band with Fenriz and Satyr or something?

It's more than just his solos that are bluesy. The riffs, too.

Don't hear that too much...

Not rly. I've said some pretty dumb shit on the internet. Just admit you're drunk or high!

I think quoting myself is in order:

@ the last three posts.

Anyways, I agree Pantera has a bluesy sound.

 

[waif]

Definitely in the solos, and in some of the riffs (Like on "I'm Broken," the end of "The Great Southern Trendkill," etc). But most of it is pretty much straight fucking metal.

 

[Life Sucks]

Well, pretty much all of their riffs are pentatonic-based...

 

[S.U.A.D.]

I have no qualms with either Pantera (everything after CFH is perfect) or Anthrax (post-Belladonna for the most part. Anf I think John Bush was ten million times better than Joey.

No, that's not it, although now I know that Phil was involved in more than one BM project. I will have to check out Viking Crown though.

Found it: It's called Eibon. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=45498214
