Controversial opinions on metal

[Baroque]

Oh yeah that show. OK but then why didn't Metallica have any for those first 3 albums as big as they were in the metal scene.

Headbangers Ball started right around the same time as And Justice For All...

Oh so were those music videos made around that time?

I don't know, for those bands. It's been a long time. I recall seeing Metallica, Megadeth on there, lots of lesser known bands (to me) at that time like say Pestilence

Possibly Controversial opinion. Raven is the best NWOBHM band despite Stay hard and The pack is back.

there is something 'poseurish' about being a thrash band for an extended period of time. How 'angry' and 'aggressive' can you be well into adulthood? Thrash and punk seem to share a similar frustration out of being a young adult.

I don't have anything against a group of guys who listened to music that was likely more similar to Load era Metallica than Kill 'Em All and decided to go back to it.

Raven is a garbage NWOBHM band so I guess this is why you're opinions are doodoo

The authenticity of angry or aggressive music isn't limited by age. The idea of middle-aged men making music about being angry teenage rebels is weird though.

Iron Maiden is a garbage NWOBHM band so I guess this is why you're opinions are glorious

Fixed that last part for you.

@MrTagoMago... how do you feel about Akercocke?

(prepares for disappointment)

[Internally Deformed]

Jawohl.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Jawohl.

Never heard of them before. Also didn't know you were a nazi.

 

[Internally Deformed]

They've only got one demo, but check them out anyway. I need another Iron Maiden hater on my side.

Only part time.

I was sure I was the only one here who didn't care for Iron Maiden.

Well I think they're okay actually, if overrated. The first two albums are superior to the later ones, and people probably wouldn't like them so much if it wasn't for the fact that their production is so much clearer than is the case with most NWOBHM.

Raven has a few ok songs and some awful shit.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Mercyful Fate is the best NOWBHM band and they're not even from Britain.

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah I don't hate em I just find em boring really.

I think you just enjoy saying controversial shit tbh. I came to this conclusion yesterday when you said that Dystopia is a great album after you've been shitting on classic Iron Maiden and Slayer.

You should try responding to all his comments with "Yeah! Right on! X shitty unsuccessful band is better than Y excellent successful band" and see if he stops posting.

Yeah, I don't think that the production is the main reason why people like Iron Maiden.
