Controversial opinions on metal

[Woolie Wool]

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

Kiss's bad music is leagues ahead of Justin Timberlake's.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

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

it's still better than the ramones

What the hell is this - the "hard rock haters" thread?

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

Wasn't Alice Cooper doing it before Kiss?

 

[Ender Rises]

Who cares? It's fucking face paint. Not like KISS or Alice Cooper were the first people to think that up.

Do you have your period?

Hmmm i sense a little KISS hatred,i still remember how much i absolutely loved Dynasty as maybe a 3 or 4 year old(still one of my faves)and when my aunty took me to see KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park(at the cinema),as maybe a three year old was fucking blown away!! Old footage of KISS goes off!

Detroit Rock City was an awesome movie, just want to throw that out there.

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).

Motorhead are amazing, but I agree about the others.

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

KISS are like a James Bond: tacky, tasteless, and over-the-top, fun, but with little replay value, and also, a shitload of albums/movies.

Who cares? It's fucking face paint. Not like KISS or Alice Cooper were the first people to think that up.

KISS would probably offend more "trve" black metal uber-fans.

 

[Uncreation]

I think it was more likely Arthur Brown who used it first (or at very least he was the one to popularise it).

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Manowar is crap. I find their lyrics and their attitude to be quite funny though.

I don't like Motörhead, but I respect them.

AC/DC doesn't have one song worth listening to.

Immortal have stated in an interview that they were inspired to wear makeup by KISS. I believe Quorthon has also said something to that effect.

 

[Woolie Wool]

Yes, but Immortal are a thousand times more rational than many black metal enthusiasts. I doubt Immortal would ever approve of anything like this:

First thing I saw was the photo and I immediately knew it was an Italian band.

 

[Life Sucks]

I could tell, too. The torch, background, and style of face paint are indeed typical of ginny bands.

 

[Woolie Wool]

Does anyone else think that Manilla Road is greatly overrated?

I could tell once I saw the IT on the top of my screen.

 

[Life Sucks]

I think they are somewhat overrated. I checked out their last album because of the fellatio it has been receiving on here. I think it's good, but I wouldn't really say that they are one of the best bands of all time. But then again, I also firmly believe that Black Sabbath is overrated (probably my most controversial opinion on metal).
