Controversial opinions on metal

[Doomguy]

Yeah, talented in stealing other musician's material.

I get it now; let's completely disregard all of the original material they've created.

 

[sevag00]

Basically, yes.

 

[Badbird]

That's not Ten Thousand Fists fucktard.

It's not brilliant, but the vocals aren't fairyland, there's no bullshit omnipresent neoclassical keyboard wankery, the songs are short and efficiently written, and it actually has riffs. Same goes for Avenged Sevenfold's City of God. Both of those albums are much closer to "true" metal than all the ambient blackened symphonic progressive pretentious crap that is accepted these days.

That is a shitty song you posted.

 

[Bitencourt29]

That is a shitty song you posted.

Yeah, and it's fucking pop shit.

 

[Badbird]

Yeah, and it's fucking pop shit.

Like Einherjar said hard rock pop music.

 

[A1a23]

Agreed, therefore we should not be discussing it in this thread because after all, this is a controversial opinions on metal thread.

This post represents everything I hate about metal - I much prefer that "ambient blackened symphonic progressive pretentious crap" to whatever HamburgerBoy considers "true metal".

And Fairyland is great.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Bump for Fairyland, yes.

Disturbed is fine. How can you smack around about Ten Thousand Fists. Come on now.

I like what I have hear from Fairyland.Wait shit like Monkeyturbed and Avenged Gayfold is true metal but Fairyland is not?

 

[JGMetalhead]

Listen A7X is shit compared to Disturbed. You can't compare those bands. Lol.

 

[Badbird]

Well I don't like either music so I can comparded them if I want to.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Thats fine with me. I'm just saying. I mean even if you listen to them, you know right off the bat one is way better than the other.

 

[Badbird]

It tough to say which one is better.It like comparing dog shit to elephant shit saying which one is better doesn't matter since they are both shit.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I wasn't talking about Fairyland the band (their name is too faggy for me to bother), but fairyland to describe a vocalist whose voice belongs in a world filled with butterflies and rainbows. The Disturbed guy's vocals even in their most whiny melodic moments are more manly than a lot of flower metal.

 

[Badbird]

I don't think you will like Fairyland Hamburger Boy

 

[Einherjar86]

Marco's voice doesn't actually sound like it's from a world filled with butterflies. That fucker can wail, and half the time it sounds like he's screaming from the depths of a war-torn abyss. Still cheesy as hell mind you, but nothing like, for instance, Freedom Call's vocalist.

This will over-whelmingly be called "wrong" not controversial but:

I would much rather listen to Draiman all day (even the annoying monkey grunts) than listen to Halford, Ozzy, King Diamond, Dave Mustaine, or Dio for one song.

This is purely referencing the vocalists, not their respective band's talent.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Homies just hatin' on Disturbed cause they think their cool. Disturbed is never a bad listen bro.

I don't like Dave Mustaine as vocalist and I don't care for Ozzy aside from the Black Sabbath stuff.The other 3 I would rather listen to than Drainman.
