Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

Linkin Park for example

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Tr00

 

[Einherjar86]

Well, that's a good point. But Linkin Park is rhythmically very different from metal, too.

 

[Life Sucks]

Even hip hop can have aggression.

 

[IWP]

Pretty much any type of music can have aggression except maybe bubblegum pop and techno.

 

[panzerfaust666]

immortal technique are yeah.

and yes, enherjer. I agree with you. The rhythms of both styles re totally opposite.And yes, there is aggressive pop songs, but in a total different cont3ext than metal.

99.9% of the metal community would praise Slipknot if they released the same albums but only sold 2000 copies per year.

Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer in the history of any genre of music. Second is Freddie Mercury.

Paul Gilbert blows any metal guitarist out of the water.

Just because it's on splattered vinyl doesn't mean it's good.

Corpsegrinder has better vocals than Chris Barnes, but he tries to cram too many lyrics into a small space.

Cold Lake wasn't all that bad.

Dying Fetus is nothing special. Neither is Behemoth.

I can't listen to more than 2 Napalm Death songs before I'm bored.

Judas Priest was WAY better when Halford had long hair and they sounded like a 60's rock band.

I'm sure I'll think of more.

 

[panzerfaust666]

No the metal community would not praise Slipknot.WE dont hate them or whatever you want to call it because they sell records, but there music itself( turntables etc etc)

Horrible point.

That is bullshit. If anything the opposite would be more likely. It might only increase praise in more underground metal communities. Obviously albums sold isn't the only factor. Anothor factor that contributes to praise is the music itself and since it's shit, this seems even more less likely.

 

[TheAnonymous]

Yeah, personally I couldn't stand their music the moment I heard a single song. I had no idea at the time who the fuck they were or how many fucking cd's they sell. People hate Slipknot because they make shit music and not for any other reason.

 

[The Ozzman]

I think HIM is a good band

 

[Einherjar86]

I think HIM is a good band

Haha, how long have you been wanting to say that but been afraid what people here would say in reply? You've got more guts than me, my friend. I enjoy HIM also. I think they write really catchy songs.

 

[The Ozzman]

It just came to my mind. Some HIM came on my playlist and I was all 'Oh yeah, I am so untr00 liking this band, so I'll say it on UM'

 

[Einherjar86]

Yeah, but I really don't consider them metal. They're just really heavy rock with catchy hooks.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I've heard one HIM song. It was indeed pretty catchy.

Not sure I'd bother to hear more of them, though. Not too crazy about goth shit.

 

[Carcassian]

I fucking hate HIM.

Though, I actually like a couple of Slipknot songs.

Yes, I know.

I feel dirty.

 

[TheAnonymous]

Yeah you are! You should take a tr00 metal shower and wash off the filth!

 

[Carcassian]

I'm whipping myself with the CD inlay from a Manilla Road album as an attempt at Tr00 self-flagellation as we speak.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I fucking hate HIM (and Slipknot for that matter).
