Controversial opinions on metal

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

That's because I haven't seen any rational reasons.Or at least not rational to me. But whatever. Let's not open that can of worms again.

I don't mean "rational" in a purely philosophical sense; I mean rational as in being able to appropriately and without obvious bias back up said opinion with regards to what causes whatever the opinion is about to be distasteful.

 

[DarkBliss]

Or maybe I was making fun of vbrad.

Ah, okay. Internet can be confusing and ambivalent.

 

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

Brad's a Megadeth fanboy, so whatever.

 

[Mort Divine]

Lets be honest here, Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits are better than the vast majority of thrash - but yeah there are obviously better bands than Slayer.

Sabbat for one.

I find it funny that someone comes in with opinions that aren't held by the sheep masses and I'm labeled a troll.

Actually, it has to do with stating absurd opinions and then calling everybody sheep. Be a little less obvious next time.

Brad's a Megadeth fanboy, so whatever.

Seriously, where does a Megadeth fan get off criticizing RiB?

 

[no country for old wainds]

ive heard p much every widely acclaimed thrash band in the underground and i'm not sure there's any thrash album i like as much as any of slayer's first 3 full lengths. brad can inhale the sweaty musk of my slayer-loving balls

 

[Zephyrus]

I personally enjoy History of a Time to Come more than Hell Awaits.

 

[VelociBrad]

Or maybe we could make a list that's nothing but 2nd rate thrash bands!

Sure. Start with Slayer.

 

[VelociBrad]

Sabbat for one.

Yeah, both Sabbat's are generally better than Slayer tbh. I already stated Hell Awaits and Show No Mercy are the best things Slayer did. Though only Hell Awaits would really deserve to be in a top 10 list, if it even made it at all.

 

[Caecius]

I'm basically the only person that thinks Show No Mercy is better than Hell Awaits.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I rank them almost equally, but Hell Awaits has insane shit like 'At Dawn They Sleep' which is pretty much some of the best metal ever recorded. Absolutely unrivaled as far as thrash goes.

The only other albums that come anywhere near are None Shall Defy by Infernäl Mäjesty and Rigor Mortis' self-titled.

What does that have to do with anything?

And V5, why not philosophize a bit? Many people here are in their mid-twenties and over, but act like juvenile brats with tunnel vision.

 

[VelociBrad]

I don't know what Megadeth has to do with anything, considering I didn't even bring them up at all. But people are grasping at straws here, calling me a troll for not liking Slayer lol.

 

[DarkBliss]

I agree with V5 though: saying something sucks just "because I say so" does reek of trolling.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Maybe I haven't gotten 'non-obvious' enough in my thrash explorations, but I can't think of a single non-Metallica/Megadeth/Slayer thrash album that comes close to topping what Metallica, Megadeth or Slayer did imo. Closest thing would be Death Angel, but I still consider them inferior.

 

[Belligerent]

Thrash bores me for the most part

agreed

 

[Caecius]

I don't understand why some think thrash is boring.

 

[mutantllama]

The first Slayer song I ever heard. Still one of my favorite songs.

 

[Badbird]

Most prog metal bores me to tears.I think Symphony X are the only-non extreme prog metal band I like.

 

[CF87]

anyway, as for more controversial opinions: Bloodbath is a boring death metal band for people who recently got into the genre

Bloodbath are actually for people that are not musically inept.
