Controversial opinions on metal

Show No Mercy, you my pals

Yes !

Blind Guardian should have never attempted power metal.

EDIT: Despite me loving Imaginations I would have preferred them to remain a speed metal band instead of fagging it up like they did after IFTOS.

I'm in disagreement with lots of people here because I even think A Night At the Opera is great. A Twist in the Myth... meh (some great songs, don't get me wrong).

However, there are definitely far more power metal bands that you could say "fagged" it up. Blind Guardian is actually one of the few who were able to hold onto their balls.

Blind Guardian are the best example of un-gay power metal

 

[SentinelSlain]

They are excellent at making memorable but complex songs.

Symphony X songs are more memorable and complex, but probably just as gay.

Memorable and complex =

I dont listen to tons of BM but i find the new Satyricon to be very boring and bland. Do you recommend those two?

 

[The Ozzman]

Well, if you're into BM heavily, I recommend the earlier stuff rather than the later stuff. The earlier stuff includes DMT, so check it out

 

[Ross]

ok

Fuck no. Power metal can be just as ballsy as every other genre.

If you say so, man. I've yet to experience this, I tend to cringe from the lame vocals.Some people can look past that, but vocals are a big thing to me, if it doesn't click with me, the whole thing is just grating on my nerves.

Listening to extreme metal requires me to look past the cheesiness of humans trying to imitate monsters.

Very true.

Haha, definitely one way to look at it. When I first got into death metal I hated the vocals as well (shit, in 1992 there wasn't the buzz with it there is now), but they eventually grew on me. Oddly with the higher pitched vocals or the more melodic stuff: I used to like it back in the late 80's, somewhere around I guess 97 or so I completely lost any appreciation for it inexplicably.

Truth be told, there are some dm vocals I don't, namely all the amphibians and the water/gurglypuke bullshit that bands like Last Days Of Humanity employ.
