Controversial opinions on metal

[Manic Ferocity]

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

When are people going to realize that the "YOU JUST DONT LIEK DEM CUZ DEY ARE POPULAR LOL" is a petty argument?

 

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

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

Bahahaa.

 

[Black Friday]

I like Wings Of A Butterfly but the other stuff is pretty boring.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Yes.

Fuck all punk.

UP THE ASS

yeah i have to say i don't get it myself... sounds pretty bad tbh

 

[panzerfaust666]

tbh, I quite like "Holiday In cambodia"-dead Kennedy's.

I dont really like Emperor though, tbh.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

The Ramones kick ass, and that's an incontrovertible fact. They're probably the only punk band I'd willingly listen to (though I haven't really heard any other old-school punk bands).

 

[panzerfaust666]

dude, get Fresh fruit for rotten vegetables by Dead Kennedys. or the song Holiday in Cambodia

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Eh, they're alright. Punk really started getting good when the 80s hardcore scene took over.

 

[Einherjar86]

I personally think the Clash were the best. Those guys were badass.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

...until they sold out.

i've heard the ramones a million times and every time i go "what's the deal with these guys? why is this so 'great'? i just don't here it"

Same here. Every time I here them I always get a giant meh.

Uh... they were only one of the loudest, catchiest rock bands in the WORLD at the time of their debut album. You might as well be asking why Led Zeppelin or AC/DC are so great.


edit: not to mention they were a pretty big influence on Motorhead.

Bullshit. They were never that good and Motorhead sucks.

Okay, so Zeppelin actually had some intelligence to their music. My point was that they created a revolutionary sound, and that it was also extremely catchy. I really don't see how you wouldn't like them, unless you have some kind of grudge against punk, or catchy music in general.

Have fun getting flamed.

well alright... i just don't see why it's so good

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Well being revolutionary and extremely catchy is kinda what makes them good.

i dunno... 2 minute 3 chord hokey songs just don't hold up for me

 

[The Ozzman]

ACDC wasn't revolutionary at all. Catchy, yes. They get pretty boring after a while though.
