Controversial opinions on metal

[Mort Divine]

A
D. Just because a riff is technical or heavy doesn't make it good, but if a riff isn't technical or heavy, it probably sucks

/me np: Dead meadow - [Old Growth #03] What needs must be [0:01 / 4:17] [169 kbps]

Opening riff to this song isn't "heavy" yet it is better than most music ever.

I'm curious to check out Dead Meadow. what do they sound like?

 

[Mort Divine]

their earlier stuff is more fuzzed out heavier psychedelic rock, great riffs, great chilled out leads, but their last two albums have been more laid back and mellow - Old Growth being their most recent and also my favorite.

From their album Shivering Kings and Others - Good Moanin'


From their album Old Growth - What Needs Must Be

A. South of Heaven is a weak, boring, lame, album.

wut

MoP is overrated. Great, but overrated
Victims of Deception > MoP

 

[SentinelSlain]

I don't get what's so great about Victims of Deception, it just sounds like they are trying extremely hard to rip off Metallica's sound.

 

[skeptik]

No...no it doesn't. But Breaking the Silence is clearly better.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Too bad the singer is many times worse than the rest of the band, he drags the music down.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I haven't listened to it more than once and that was ages ago. *gives it another go*.

You're a faggot, what the fuck. What a horrible opinion you have there.

 

[SentinelSlain]

He really isn't the best.

Oh please, had James Hetfield from the same time sung for them it would've been ten times better.

*EDIT* note that I'm talking about Dave White, I have never heard that other record.

A. South of Heaven is a weak, boring, lame, album.
B. At least 10 % of bands would go from unlistenable to incredible with a better (or no) singer.
C. Most good Jazz drummers are better than most good Metal drummers.
D. Just because a riff is technical or heavy doesn't make it good, but if a riff isn't technical or heavy, it probably sucks.
E. Bal - Sagoth is one of the greatest bands ever. Just deal with it.

My ignore list is swelling.

Both albums have the same vocalist and you're a fucking faggot because he rules and you suck at thrash.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Then I stand by my point for the other album as well

 

[Dak]

Because your opinions on vocalists are objectively superior?

 

[skeptik]

And the people who know what they're talking about stand on the sidelines laughing at you for being gay and having gay opinions. You gay.

Because your opinions on vocalists are objectivily superior?

*objectively

 

[Blind Guardian]

You straight rascal you.
