Controversial opinions on metal

[Einherjar86]

You really didn't make a point other than to say "I disagree", while mispelling "verses".

Not to mention "bear" (as "bare").

That said, I don't think Manowar are gay. I think they have a fucking great time playing good ol' fashioned heavy metal and they take it to extremes. Cheesy, yes; but gay, no, mainly because I don't think they take their image very seriously.

Homosexuals are gay AMIRITEGUISE?!

No band really does, in essence.

Bodybuilding as a professional sport is pretty much entirely for homosexuals. Literally. Not exactly a good defense.

Arnold disagrees.

And yes, I have never heard a Manowar song that was more enjoyable than "meh". They try to hard.

LOLURSORITE!

True; or shouldn't, because it's not about image. And Manowar definitely don't expect any additional fandom because of their hilarious image. They're just doing it for fun.

at the posted Manowar song. If all they did was play solos (and there is nothing overly special about their solos versus other band solos) and didn't waste time with all the other 3rd grade bullshit they try to pass off as "manly metal" I would probably retract my statement.

Leave the hall.

Holy Judas Priest. I bet the vocalist had a crush on Rob Halford back in the day.

I would recommend that you stop posting dumb shit like this.

It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but whatever. I'm not really sure why you feel the need to call out every post I make like this.

did you guys know Better by you, better than me is a cover? the original is pretty awesome compared to Judas Priest's cover.

yeah I saw it on some metal trivia show. Spooky Tooth did it.

oh wow I thought armaggedon wrote it but they covered it to, and their album is from '70, what a whore of a song

Well I could quote from Wiki, or give you the dictionary definition, or we could ask 100 people and get 100 different definitions.

Actually, if you asked 100 different people, most of them would probably say "manliness". Do you really think Manowar look effeminate?

One thing is for sure: Posing in flamboyantly gay attire and singing laughable "stadium metal" isn't it.

Flamboyantly gay men don't dress up like Conan the barbarian you dolt. They dress like this:

By the way, I've finally figured out what is in common with all the music I strongly like: good flow, syncopated vocals and a production that doesn't give me a headache. So if you've got something to recommend, feel free to do so, people.

Christina Aguilera?

Well ok what you described is very general..I generally find Brutal Death Metal to have good flow and has great production (always wondered how, seeing how under-budgeted that entire genre is)..

At the same time a band like Arch Enemy could fall under those same criteria

MOAR SPECIFIC PLZ!!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Not to mention the fact that "flow" is kind of subjective. I consider most of the music I listen to to have good flow, really.

Yeah, I knew that. Don't like the original.

I take it back though because I thought Armaggedon did the original and have not really heard the real original
