Controversial opinions on metal

[MasterOLightning]

A lot of the times Youtube vids fail to load even on good computers with good processors and good connections. It's a lame site with a few things worth keeping it for imo.

It has the potential to be better than Myspace. I really don't use band pages for anything other than listening. I could do without the clutter. Youtube seems to slowly be building up collections of songs from more obscure stuff. There's some cool stuff there, like a vid of Wrest playing drums from his old band in 1992 or so.

Fan made videos are sometimes not garbage. The Velvet Cacoon - Avalon Polo video is great. The band even commissioned the guy to make one for their new album. Ha.

mostly the only thing I do on YouTUbe is watch Comedy bits and Alizee

Shame on you, that's one of the best 2008 releases so far.

Songs like "Combustion", "Bleed", "Lethargica", and "Dancers to a Discordant System" are just great.

obZen fucking slays

I heard some Overkill earlier and I immediately thought of this thread.
Possibly the worst shit ive ever heard. The singer literally sounds retarded.

whoa!

And also, hating Priest or Maiden is blasphemy (as I have seen earlier in this thread). And people give me shit for not liking Zeppelin? It doesn't add up.

I listen to all the music I like but am embarrassed about on youtube.

I watch a lot of 80's music videos on YouTube when I get bored, but I'm not embarrassed about it.

although im indifferent to most of maiden's discography, anyone who claims to dislike tracks like, say, 'powerslave' or 'the clairvoyant' or 'the trooper' is fucking lying. meanwhile nobody into metal can fail to like substantial amounts of judas priest, clearly they've been listening to the wrong stuff

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

obZen fucking slays

I got a sampler from CM with two songs from this (Bleed and the title track)...unimpressed. I really just don't like Meshuggah; fucking ANNOYING.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I'm not that crazy about most of Meshuggah's discography, but Future Breed Machine is one of the best metal songs out there. It rules.

I do think that Led Zeppelin is mostly awful.

The Trooper is tiresome, and Powerslave does absolutely nothing for me, and I'm a huge fan of Maiden. In fact, I think Infinite Dreams is is one of the best songs of all time. In fact, it's probably in my top 10... No, top 5 of all time.

The only Meshuggah album I've heard is Chaosphere, and it bores me to tears, although I respect Meshuggah for what they are.

I'll do say that anyone who likes Meshuggah but calls Dream Theater "boring wankery" (and I've seen people say that) better find another excuse for hating DT. I can appreciate Meshuggah's insane technicality sometimes, but anyone who claims their music has more soul than DT doesn't know what he/she's talking about.

I don't like Judas Priest at all. The vocals have always been my biggest reason (Halford and Ripper).

I do think that Led Zeppelin is mostly awful.

Agreed. I like a couple songs, though.

I just cant stand Meshuggah either

 

[mutantllama]

Maiden, Priest, and Led Zeppelin all own.

 

[General Zaroff]

Maiden and Preist both own.

Fixed.

 

[mutantllama]

Fuck you. Zeppelin is awesome.

 

[General Zaroff]

Fuck you. Meshuggah is awesome.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Fuck you. Meshuggah is awesome.

I'm a Maiden fanboy, but I never got into Priest or Zeppelin.

Meshuggah is awesome indeed. I'll probably start getting their old albums (only have ObZen and Catch 33). Would really like to see them live.

Sample the entire album. That's my number one album for the year.

Every once in awile you say something fucking awesome.
