Controversial opinions on metal

[The Batlord]

Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls, and Dr. Feelgood. I will not defend any or their 90's or 2000's material however.

I'll defend their 00's albums. They're not great but they're still fun. It helps that I bought New Tattoo when I was just getting into metal.

... even the same type of insults, wow. Nevermind bro, just live your life.

You mean vaguely literate ones?

I have lived my life, I'll be 60 in a few months here.

Fun? I didn't realize generic radio schmaltz with none of your original fire and bite was "fun".

stop arguing with yourself

Literally everyone is an alt, right?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

everyone. We're all alts

Remove Halford's flaccid jaundiced member from your mouth and stop being so ridiculously affronted. It's a decent cover and fits well on the album. Also comparing Lombardo to Phillips is apples & oranges.

Nope, it's total shit. It's abhorrent, wretched, toxic, and problematic.

I assume that's sarcastic. Because Jim Carrey.

I'm surprised you're that old. I assumed you were in your late 40s or early 50s but nope. Almost 60.

I have and continue to listen to way worse. And I don't really know how you could criticize those albums for being "generic radio smaltz" when they were made in a style that was popular in the 80s but not at the time they were actually released.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

It's 80's a little, but at the same time they adopted an aesthetic to their production and composition reminiscent more of modern rock than anything. Sanitized of all grime, guts, and grit, and distilled into an essence of boring, antiseptic auditory fodder.

That's the ultimate problem. It was gutless. The visceral quality of their previous records was part of the appeal.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I hope you're referring to their 90's and 2000's work.

Obviously.

 

[The Batlord]

Gutless or not, no way am I taking myself seriously enough that I can't enjoy something this gloriously stupid.

The door is over there, don't let the knob confuse you, you're not supposed to deepthroat it.

Says the guy putting the shit in his ears instead of his toilet.

 

[The Batlord]

Lars almost got his ass kicked by Nikki Sixx? lulz

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

lol, yeah that's funny. But everyone knows lars is a little twat.

I'm more tripped out that Savatage was still getting play on MTV at the same time as "2x4" apparently.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm guessing it was for Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24, which ended up being a massive hit when they rebranded it was Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
