Controversial opinions on metal

[King Richard]

Whoa, I haven't posted in this thread in a while.

I like Goregrind and I agree. It's just gross, awful, barely coherent noise. Sometimes there is a groove or the bands do some electro or hi-hop thing but that's a rarity. Basically it's a genre to enjoy and not take too seriously. It was actually freeing to admit to myself that I liked goregrind because then I lost all credibility as someone who likes good music. Now I just like whatever I like and I feel great about it.

That what I think about some Goregrind. I like some of it but it can have lot of awful bands too.

 

[Mentok]

Every genre can have a lot of awful bands...name me one that doesn't.

 

[Einherjar86]

Teenie-bop.

Duh.

 

[Mentok]

How can this be?! How could I have forgotten this

 

[WCannibal]

the only reason gore grind exists is so that perverted fat people can get off on the album covers and relieve their meat-constipated bowels when the pitchshifts reach the "brown note" and makes everyone suddenly have to shit.

Sigged.

Amy Lee from Evanescence is really good live!!!







Yeah right!

 

[damnromulans]

bahahahahaha!

I understand liking goregrind for its theatrical/silly/exaggerated qualities, but I don't get people who try to defend the genre as an entity as SERIOUS BUSINESS GREAT ART.

I also haven't listened to a whole lot of it because it's not really my thing, so perhaps I speak ignorantly.

 

[Damage Inc.]

Slipknot is good.

St. Anger was not a bad album.

Lymphatic Phlegm would like a word with you.

Sigged.

You stole my idea, motherfucker!

 

[IntoPhagist]

Death Magnetic is an awesome album that pumps me up.

 

[damnromulans]

glad I can come up with quotable sig material. 90 degree bow.

OK here's one. No one likes Manowar without the slightest hint of irony or silliness.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Yeah Manowar are silly but fun once every 2 years.

 

[cookiecutter]

bahahahahaha!

Maybe one or two bands can be defended that way (see V5's post) but not the whole genre.

Born again is the best black sabbath album.
Black Dahlia murder isnt -core at all...
Keyboards still have no place on a metal stage....(though they add a good quality in recordings)

Power Metal is cheesy wankery over basic rythmn chords in E standard. Singers who sound like they want to get fucked by Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson with a strap-on Dildo.

 

[IntoPhagist]

From Autumn to Ashes and Atreyu's first albums are pretty good and they weren't gay yet.
