Controversial opinions on metal

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

We need to make an official declaration of what kinds of non-metal are the most metal. It goes without saying that nu-metal and metalcore are among the least metal, and that Wagner and Celtic folk music are among the most metal, but what about in between? Is Paramore more or less metal than REM, for example? And what about contemporary R&B? I think TLC is probably more metal than Rihanna, but I might be wrong on that.

This is a good Slipknot song:

Severe butthurt all 'round ROFL

Gotta laugh at the lameness of the anti-Slipknot trolls. Here's a great example of a superb song off their second album, pure killer stuff:

Though after their second album, they lost their way somewhat.

Gmd is evolving. Get with the gay or get out nigga.

Standard slipknot troll is fifteen or younger comment.

 

[JontRevolting]

Does that account for taste,fewer words as poss to describe tripe.wtf are'nt you fags all over the nwn bandcamp at the very least.

 

[Krow]

Heh any more I buy pretty much every Nwn full length that comes out on cd. (And admittedly sell the ones that don't stick) The vinyls only if I really like them.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

TBH UM really isn't any worse than any of the other big metal forums. I've been on the SMNnews forums and holy fuck that place is littered with retards. Nuclear War Now forums certainly has more talk about new and important metal, but most of the people there are complete fucktards with wacko tastes.

 

[JontRevolting]

@krow man you are the biggest showpony here sucking dick with yo razorback shit...c'mon homos get into it.

 

[Krow]

Lol. And you're an overly true penis metal guy. I like what I like and don't give a fuck otherwise.

 

[JontRevolting]

hELL YES GET PISSED OFF CUNTS...FIND SOME GOOD SHIT DONT'T BE WEAK

 

[CF87]

SMNnews forum is hilarious. I always LOL.

 

[JontRevolting]

i NO YOU APPROVE CONNOSIEUR OF RIGHTEOUS GOODS

 

[JontRevolting]

HEY DD INCASE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ALLY YOU CAN GET FUCKED I DONT CARE IF YOU SMOKE WEED IN THE PAST FUCK OFF

 

[SomeGuyDude]

I think I was right. Ol' SFK must have popped open the bottle early, LOL.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Out of curiosity, Mort, while I totally agree with you that the other genres you listen to should not affect your credibility when discussing metal, I wonder if you actually think Paramore, etc. is actually good pop music? Or if it's purely a mood-inducing thing that affects you personally.

I'd like to say that it does certainly affect his credibility when discussing non-metal. If someone comes along saying, "I'm getting burnt out on metal, can anyone recommend me some new music?", my advice would be, "Don't listen to whatever Mort suggests."

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Man if my other tastes effected my "cred" with metal, I'd be pretty well fucked. I listen to random shit all over the place.

It depends on what kind of non-metal I'd be suggesting, because I know that more than a couple of my non-metal recommendations have been things people here have enjoyed.

I know for a fact that Onder liked Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, I know KafkaX liked First Aid Kit, pretty certain there were people who liked Cinnamon Chasers (if not here then I know on a few other metal sites people who liked them and only found out due to me introducing them), Genelec & Memphis Reigns is probably the most well received rap recommendation I make anywhere, etc.
