Controversial opinions on metal

[Mort Divine]

Could somebody reccomend me the quintessential flower metal band? I've heard a lot about it but I've never heard any of the actual music.

Stratovarius is really the biggest name, pretty shitty but who knows maybe you'll like it. Pop with guitar riffs.

 

[IWP]

Who ever said 'kvlt' had anything to do with it, just the fuckin' bullshit flower metal bands are barely even metal so it'd seem to me that instead of listening to real power metal you'd be better off with pop music.

They're still metal. They may not be extreme enough for your taste, but those bands are still metal, and not pop.

 

[DarkBliss]

I think he listens to Christina Aguilera, so how is extremity at all
relevant in this case?

 

[False Joe]

I dunno.

I'd certainly like to get near Christina Aguilera's extremitys.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yeah, it isn't about extremity because I love tons of pop music and indie rock and what not - just don't want to see it in power metal is all

 

[DarkBliss]

I dunno.

I'd certainly like to get near Christina Aguilera's extremitys.

haha, good one.

There's actually quite little of "true pop" (as you would consider it ) in flower metal though...they're very distinct.

 

[panzerfaust666]

then again pop itself is kind of misleading.The beatles or Tears For Fears versus Christina aguilera etc....No similarities, but same classification.

w.e wrong place

 

[False Joe]

haha, good one.

I do my best.

 

[Einherjar86]

How about you stop listening to metal and pick up pop then? I mean that ALL that flower metal is.

The difference between flower metal and pop is that flower metal actually showcases some talent. Big difference in my book. I'd much rather listen to flower metal.

 

[General Zaroff]

I find Christina Aguilera's voice (and boobs) to be quite awesome.

 

[Woolie Wool]

Girl pop singers are all so similar that I think they're not born, but built in a secret factory somewhere in southern California.

 

[Carcassian]

Hardcore is fucking shit.

 

[panzerfaust666]

well, pffft.yeah

 

[Carcassian]

Notice I said hardcore. Not metalcore. And I include all the untouchable bands like Agnostic Front and Sick of it All.

Boring, simplistic bollocks.

If you think that vocalists like Christina Aguilera and Tori Amos are talentless then I'm really going to die of shock.

 

[Ender Rises]

Tori Amos is talentless when it comes to singing. I hate her voice. Her lyrics are great though.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Are you including old school hardcore punk? Agnostic Front used to play in the old school vein but now play the "chug-chug" type of hardcore.

Yes.

Fuck all punk.

UP THE ASS

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Without the likes of Discharge, Charged G.B.H., and The Exploited I'm willing to bet extreme metal wouldn't exist.
