Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

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

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Well, again, you don't really listen to them for their depth. Just to rock out to some loud, silly tunes.

Yeah, I didn't really mean to implicate AC/DC as being revolutionary. I was kinda using them as the "extremely catchy" analogy, with Zeppelin as the "revolutionary" analogy (though the Ramones were probably more revolutionary than Zep, considering what a huge, wildly popular style of rock they started).

cool

 

[Matt]

Have fun getting flamed.

omg iz woryed now

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Well, it is pretty ludicrous to claim that Motorhead sucks.

 

[Ender Rises]

Yup. They're not meant to be deep, they're meant to be loud and fun, and in that world they are the kings.

 

[mutantllama]

Like Manowar!

 

[The Butt]

To be honest, I can't say I'm a fan of most of these supposed "legendary" bands like Motorhead, Zeppelin, or AC/DC (especially AC/DC... ugh).

Me either actually... though Motorhead have some ripping tunes & Led Zeppelin I've always promised myself I'd give more of a chance... 78023659862384628364 people may not be wrong.
AC/DC on the other hand can fuck right off... 2 ideas & 5 riffs per song, & some idiot screaming over the top of everything does not a good song make.

I am 66% with you on that. Motorhead are ok, but not my cup of tea, but uke: at the other two!

in other words they are just like Kiss who you hate

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Kiss is pretty watered-down compared to the Ramones tbh. They do have a touch more personality, though.

 

[Acey Jendell]

I cannot stand Death.

The band?


OMG.

Except Kiss is in no way loud, fun, or good in any sense.

 

[Acey Jendell]

Except Kiss is in no way loud, fun, or good in any sense.

Except for the fact that they have sold out arenas for the last 30 years, pioneered the use of Amp stacks, drum risers, band logos on stage, pyro, make up, massive light shows, got more pussy in a week than most dudes do in a lifetime, and just fucking rock.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Justin Timberlake does that too...

 

[Woolie Wool]

Justin Timberlake definitely does not rock, and what would that pussy need amp stacks for? Never mind drum risers, because he uses a goddamn sequencer.

Also, Gene Simmons invented corpsepaint. Sorry, black metal fans, but it's true.

 

[seedofvengeance]

The problem is, amongst all of that... Did they play any good music? No. And that's pretty much the ultimate decider.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Kiss weren't great, but they had a few damn good songs. Listen to "Cold Gin", "Deuce", "Love Gun", etc.
