Controversial opinions on metal

[VelociBrad]

Well I wasn't discussing the quality of the bands on his list here. They're all pretty damn obvious bands unless you're brand new to metal anyway.

 

[Mentok]

I hope this isn't controversial: everyone arguing with Brad is boring the fuck out of me.

It isn't because I feel the same way.

 

[VelociBrad]

I agree too, but hey, if people want to keep attacking me that's fine too.

 

[Mentok]

Touche

 

[rms]

well then quit being worthless and go into obscurity again, appreciate it

Nah it's fun watching you cry and rage.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This thread sucks.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

So you have to get an education in metalbands nowdays before even starting to listen to metal at all?

No, but shouldn't generalize a whole list as being Death metal neither...

Yeah, apparently. A lot of those bands suck anyway so I see no need to know of their existence.

Which ones and why? Out of curiosity.

 

[DarkBliss]

I dislike so many of all those classics, to be honest. But a few managed to stick with me. Anyway, I need to get me some Cirith Ungol and Slayer's debut. Fuck yeah

 

[Onder]

Wow, you guys fucking suck. "You know shit about me, bitch, look how cool I am, I will list my favourite bands: bla, bla, bla, bla"

Nobody fucking cares you fucking wieners.

 

[Onder]

Cirith Ungol

Do it.

 

[DarkBliss]

Best albums?

 

[Vilden]

No, but shouldn't generalize a whole list as being Death metal neither...

My comment was actually directed at brad for saying that you had to know all those bands to listen to metal at all, which is kinda annoying for those who are just starting to get into it.

Darkbliss: Paradise Lost is their best, but most people wont agree. King of the Dead is a good starting point I guess.

 

[DarkBliss]

Cheers.

Controversial:

The intro track to the new Burzum album is fucking aggravating..why did he put it in there? The next track doesn't follow up on it whatsoever..it's just a waste of space and a waste of my time..in fact it gives me a goddamn headache



(honestly it doesn't bother me but this thread needs a new direction)

 

[Onder]

Best albums?

I love the first two.

 

[mutantllama]

agree, get the first two.

 

[challenge_everything]

Ultima Thulée may just be the best ambient-styled BM album ever.

 

[digsNasty]

This may not be as controversial as I think, but metal "purists" can fuck off and die. Their inherent elitism is annoying and metal would never get anywhere if different genre/subdivisions weren't "bastardized" or mixed in with other styles of music. And yes, I'm advocating nu-metal as a good thing. Whether the music is decent or not, is subjective. Like whatever you want. For me, however, I couldn't stand listening to the same classic metal albums over and over again or bands that simply clone the classic metal bands.

...and there goes your credibility.
