Controversial opinions on metal

I hate his new look. He looks so pretentiously. Used to be a decent vocalist though.

Well, to be honest, they have never fared well in the fashion dept.

Wait, that's Geoff Tate?

Fucking hell that guy in the group photo on the left has a massive lop sided bouffant.

Jesus fucking Christ almighty piece of shit mother fucker!

I decided to pick up the 2004 remastered Megadeth - Rust in Peace CD (without reading any reviews on it .... ) and listen to it on my commute. By the time I got through "Lucretia" I almost threw it out of my car. It is so fucking bad, so fucking bad. I can't even explain it right now. It sounds like a completely different album. The guitar and bass fight each other, and from what I understand, Dave used alternate vocal takes on a few of those songs that sound absolutely horrendous. Its a fucking disaster! I have never been a fanboy of Mustaine, but...

Not-so-controversial opinion: Dave needs to be locked up and forgotten about for the sake and safety of his own music!

My newest controversial opinion is that Nicholas Cage's son is a wonderful musician. Arsh Anubis is pretty sweet so far. His last band was decent too.

Having his dad in the back of my mind may be helping.

Yeah it's bad. I'm lucky I found an original pressing on CD. That original album is so close to perfect for a thrash album it's ridiculous why anyone would want to change it.

I've been delving into more death/thrashy stuff lately and can't see any redeeming value in Skeletonwitch. There's nothing wrong with it but they just come off as annoying. Not that they sound incredibly similar, but as newer acts go I'll take Exmortus by leaps.

 

[Krow]

Skeletonwitch are black/thrash lite. I don't hate them but they just aren't interesting compared to D666, Nocturnal, Nifelheim.... Could go on.

 

[CiG]

They fucking suck.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Well they're not really "black/thrash" anyway. Their music is more along the lines or regular thrash with some melodic death and black scattered throughout. Which is pretty different from shit like D666, Nifelheim, etc.

 

[Omni]

I think they're just a boring band, no matter what genre they are. I've never understood the hype.

 

[JontRevolting]

They're one of those bands I've never bothered to even listen to once, it's always a combination of either cover art, group photos or record label that sets off alarm bells.

Hahaha, same man.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

They fucking suck.

So you've never listened to them but think they suck? Hmmm, okay.

What makes you think I haven't listened to them?

 

[Satanstoenail]

I haven't listened to them and I think they suck.

 

[NinjaSweater]

Skeletonwitch is great. Love all their albums. Fun band.

 

[The Butt]

I used to really enjoy Skeletonwitch (or at least, Beyond the Permafrost), but they have lost their novelty over time. They are a fucking mint live band though.
