Controversial opinions on metal

[gundamterran]

Drone > Folk Metal. Easy. :O

 

[damnromulans]

look if i wanted drone i'd just turn up the distortion to "insane" on my line 6 spider amp, downtune my thrift store peavey raptor and tune it to A338 instead of A440, and whack the E string with my penis

 

[VelociBrad]

They're both pretty awful, but if I had to side with one it'd be folk I guess since stuff like Manegarm is alright.

 

[damnromulans]

THE CONNOISSEUR OF SWEDEATH HAS SPOKEN.

There is awful crap from every genre so (not at anyone in particular) don't act like I'm putting Korpiklaani or Finntroll on some pedestal.

Drone seems like one of those genres that comes dangerously close to being completely based on back story or listener interpretation. Like the rawest black metal, you're only one step away from becoming Impaled Northern Moonforest.

Faith No More -Angel Dust is the best Nu-Metal album by a long shot.

That's where so called nu metal begins and ends for me.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Faith No More are not and were never nu-metal.

 

[JontRevolting]

No but they're as close to nu-metal as I like to get.

+1. I have that amp so I know what you mean. Good description of drone.

Hell yeah.

Mudvayne is actually musically/technically fucking good, especially Ryan goddamned Martinie.

I agree. I like Mudvayne's first album because of the basslines on there, and because some of the song structures aren't the usual verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus of nu-metal.

Can't stand anything after L.D. 50 though.

Mayhem at that time (before Dead) was Death Metal.. in my eyes.

What about your ears?

This is epicly quotable.

Khanate's debut rules. Drone pretty much sucks otherwise.

 

[DrSkye]

Would you call THIS metal?

Know your shit plz

:zombie: Seriously bro?

Sorry about that. This will teach me to get on here while drinking with friends. Whoops. uke:

 

[VelociBrad]

I will never understand what the hell everybody's obsession with nu-metal is.

 

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

I don't really see an obsession tbh.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

A lot of Deftones isn't even nu-metal.

 

[gundamterran]

Deftones is weird alternative rock with rap and shoegaze elements.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I remember their early stuff being pretty close to nu-metal but albums like White Pony and Deftones have a more experimental/post-grunge vibe to them. I don't know, it's been years since I've listened to them.
