Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

You forgot about Steppenwolf, Vanilla Fudge, Blue Cheer etc

I havent heard most of the bands you lsited, but from the ones i've heard i can safely say they're not as heavy as Black Sabbath, or even some of DP's heavier stuff. UH has some heavy ass tracks and gets close at times but is not as heavy as the bands i mentioned. Same goes for Dust. I'll have to check the rest of those bands out, which ones are less heavy on prog and experimentation?

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Leaf Hound is pretty fucking heavy.

 

[Nephilim96]

Only them? What about Dust, Cactus, Leaf Hound, Atomic Rooster, Fresh Blueberry Pancake, Uriah Heep, Paladin, Night Sun, etc

I haven't hear of any of these bands outside of Uriah Heep. I'll need to check some stuff out.

Controversial opinion: I think the rise of thrash in the 80's, 'crash' of thrash in the mid 90's, and the renewal of thrash in the mid 00's, had a lot to do with the political climate in the U.S. during those years.

In general at least the politically driven side of thrash is fairly liberal and anti-war I think.

Thrash started in about '81 or '82 around the same time Reagan took office.
Thrash essentially 'crashed' in 1993, the same year Clinton took office.
Thrash came back in about 2003, the same year Bush jr. started the Iraq war version 2.0 after 9/11.

I think it's just a coincidence.

the rise - motorhead/jp/discharge influenced a shit ton of kids to play faster
the fall - grunge/groove=death of thrash
the rebirth - bands got tired of playing pop-thrash, so they went back to their roots

i don't find classic heavy metal that impressive, this includes deep purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden

 

[Nephilim96]

Yeah but you also listen to vanilla ass Tech Death.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

lol, wtf is vanilla tech-death?

 

[J.]

Except for sabbath, i agree.

 

[RedStorm]

Yeah but you also listen to vanilla ass Tech Death.

yeah but you can't get more vanilla then the bands i mentioned earlier

 

[Krow]

lol, wtf is vanilla tech-death?

Sterile death metal littered with picking band sweeps. I would think you'd know, given it's your favorite thing ever.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Lol, there's no such thing as vanilla tech-death, son. "Vanilla" would be more appropriately labeled to most of the generic slam garbage you listen to.

Also, the tech-death i listen to is fucking elite. It's not my fault you're too softheaded to understand.

And you're clearly wrong, whitechapel and suicide silent are my favorite things ever. Can we be buddies now?

This isn't controversial at all. Just silly.

 

[Dak]

Heavy metal isn't my favorite genre by any stretch but I can be in the mood for it, and I appreciate its importance.

 

[waif]

Classic Sabbath has more impressive musicianship than most of the masturbatory tech death garbage you tossers fondle yourselves to. Those guys could really fuckin' play.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I just don't see how anyone can not like Sabbath.

And you're beyond retarded for comparing tech-death to BS.

 

[RedStorm]

This isn't controversial at all. Just silly.

silly because my taste in metal does not align with yours?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont like that old stuff either
Some Maiden is ok, but im just not a fan of the rest

 

[Nephilim96]

lol, wtf is vanilla tech-death?

Boring shit that sounds the same as 99% of the stuff out there. I like some tech-death, but a lot of the stuff itp posts is pretty blah.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I've haven't noticed him posting that many tech-death albums, or maybe they're just shitty bands that i've never heard of? Not quite sure.

Vanilla isn't even a derogatory term. It just describes the subgenre at its purest form without branching off into other places. A lot of OSDM (early Death and Morbid Angel) is vanilla death metal.

basically vanilla = regular
