Controversial opinions on metal

[Thoth-Amon]

Except Kiss is in no way loud, fun, or good in any sense.

it's still better than the ramones

What the hell is this - the "hard rock haters" thread?

Also, Gene Simmons invented corpsepaint. Sorry, black metal fans, but it's true.

Wasn't Alice Cooper doing it before Kiss?

Who cares? It's fucking face paint. Not like KISS or Alice Cooper were the first people to think that up.

Do you have your period?

Hmmm i sense a little KISS hatred,i still remember how much i absolutely loved Dynasty as maybe a 3 or 4 year old(still one of my faves)and when my aunty took me to see KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park(at the cinema),as maybe a three year old was fucking blown away!! Old footage of KISS goes off!

Detroit Rock City was an awesome movie, just want to throw that out there.

To be honest, I can't say I'm a fan of most of these supposed "legendary" bands like Motorhead, Zeppelin, or AC/DC (especially AC/DC... ugh).

Motorhead are amazing, but I agree about the others.

Kiss weren't great, but they had a few damn good songs. Listen to "Cold Gin", "Deuce", "Love Gun", etc.

KISS are like a James Bond: tacky, tasteless, and over-the-top, fun, but with little replay value, and also, a shitload of albums/movies.

Clowns: the original black metal

KISS would probably offend more "trve" black metal uber-fans.

 

[Uncreation]

I think it was more likely Arthur Brown who used it first (or at very least he was the one to popularise it).

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Manowar is crap. I find their lyrics and their attitude to be quite funny though.

I don't like Motörhead, but I respect them.

AC/DC doesn't have one song worth listening to.

Immortal have stated in an interview that they were inspired to wear makeup by KISS. I believe Quorthon has also said something to that effect.

 

[Woolie Wool]

Yes, but Immortal are a thousand times more rational than many black metal enthusiasts. I doubt Immortal would ever approve of anything like this:

First thing I saw was the photo and I immediately knew it was an Italian band.

 

[Life Sucks]

I could tell, too. The torch, background, and style of face paint are indeed typical of ginny bands.

 

[Woolie Wool]

Does anyone else think that Manilla Road is greatly overrated?

I could tell once I saw the IT on the top of my screen.

 

[Life Sucks]

I think they are somewhat overrated. I checked out their last album because of the fellatio it has been receiving on here. I think it's good, but I wouldn't really say that they are one of the best bands of all time. But then again, I also firmly believe that Black Sabbath is overrated (probably my most controversial opinion on metal).

Wasn't Quorthon covering KISS songs back in the '80s?

I imagine that a shitload of first-wave BM bands were KISS fans.

Does anyone else think that Manilla Road is greatly overrated?

Not sure who would be overrating them, but yeah, I'd agree that they're not particularly great. "Necropolis" is a fucking incredible song, and they've got some other gems, but they have a lot of garbage too.
