Controversial opinions on metal

[sevag00]

You know how many thrash riffs sound similiar, every Kreator riff for example is almost indentical to Slayer's, but no one points that out.

r u srs?

 

[ArneZ]

Slayer is for most part a boring recycle riff machine, Kreator`s not. Both bands blew in the 90s though, with exception of Coma of Souls which is one of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time.

 

[Inso]

I'm sad to say I find a lot of Slayer's stuff quite dull. There are a few really great tracks here and there on RIB and HA for instance, but I rarely find myself wanting to sit through a whole album apart from RIB which is quite short anyway. Too much filler all round. Still though, their contribution to the genre can't be understated. So many bands took their foundations and made thrash that is imo a lot more interesting to listen to on a regular basis.

Kreator blow them out of the water on all fronts.

Self quoting is pretty elitist.

controversial opinions=other peoples opinions

 

[SentinelSlain]

Actually remember the fallen isn't a good song.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Anyone who refuses to recognize the similarities between Kreator's riffs and the guitar riffs of other major 80's thrash metal groups (i.e. Slayer and Metallica) is just being a dick.

 

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

Why the fuck are we picking this apart again? Jesus.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

It's regular rotation, duh. Tomorrow's Thursday, so if I am quoting the schedule correctly, it is "Darkthrone vs Burzum Debate Day".

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Darkthrone wins, obviously.

 

[gundamterran]

Burzum always wins that. Although Fenriz is just so cute, I'd cuddle him all night.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

STFU, Varg is the cute one.

 

[gundamterran]

Why is it that no one seems to talk about Ripping Corpse, Revenant, or Devastation when discussing death/trash?

 

[VelociBrad]

Ripping Corpse and Revenant released 2 of my favorite death/thrash albums.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

..... Slayers first three album are thrash masterpieces!!!!

Why is it that no one seems to talk about Ripping Corpse, Revenant, or Devastation when discussing death/trash?

i love Ripping Corpse, and Devastation is one of my favorite bands, wouldnt call them death/thrash though.... and iv never heard Revenant, will have to check them out.

 

[drink beer]

-King Diamond's vocals (for both KD and Mercyful Fate), when he sounds high-pitched like a little kid going "eeee!", are so fucking awful.... and this is coming from someone who thinks Cirith Ungol's vocals are quite tolerable.

Yes.... also hate Cradle of Filth for that.

Oh and and Three Inches of Blood

 

[cookiecutter]

yeah, he's just awesome in general.
also for a controversial opinion
Effigy of the Forgotten > Pierced From Within

This is true, but only just. If Mike Smith had drummed on Pierced things may have been different.

 

[meaperson333]

Yeah, if Mike Smith had drummed the choice would've been alot harder to make.

Because they aren't as well as known as whatever band you're thinking of that is talked about.

Dreaming With the Dead has some seriously awesome riffs, though.
