Controversial opinions on metal

[seedofvengeance]

That's just stupid... I mean not in an offensive way, but in a "that made not fucking sense, why did you waste your time?" way.

Eddie Vedder is fucking weird/dumb and was probably high as fuck.

I enjoy Sodom the most outta Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction.

Sodom
Kreator
Destruction

I haven't listened to very much Destruction however.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Listen to Porcupine Tree - The Sound of Muzak

Love that song, It's pretty much an epitome of truly vivid music and musicianship too, fluent and pulsating and passionate, so fucking in your face.

Everything I've heard from Kreator (except their 90s stuff) has been miles ahead of what I've heard from Sodom, although in fairness I haven't heard Sodom's classic material.

You probably shouldn't judge then. Listen to AO and ITSOE asap.

 

[youdontknowme]

i still like the soad s/t. :|



presumably you mean 'in the sign of evil' is miles ahead of anything kreator have done

no, I don't. In The Sign Of Evil didn't quite click with me like albums such as Pleasure To Kill and Eternal Devastation did.

hey, you're from Pittsburgh. and you like Autopsy. that is fucking awesome. I live in Youngstown.

I'm just north of Plum.

 

[Zealotry]

Onward to Golgotha is way overrated, and Incantation's best albums are Primordial Domination and Mortal Throne of Nazarene

KONTRAVERSHUL!

 

[RedinTheSky]

I suppose another problem I have is with musicians who exploit their position. They're given a pulpit, and they use it to preach. When I buy tickets to a concert, I don't want to hear a musician's political views, whether they agree with me or not. I want to hear music. They can donate money and support all the charities/organizations that they wish; but I wish they would leave their political ideals backstage when playing a show.

Good music with 'political views' :

S.O.A.D are one of the most terribly annoying bands on the planet in a general sense of music. I can't think of many bands in general that are as annoying or I find as unbearable.

 

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

High five GREYS!!

Why is it that black metal is always so much better when it's mixed with other genres? Industrial, thrash, death, progressive, experimental/avant-garde, post-black... I always find these much more satisfying than even the classic Darkthrone or Mayhem records.

That is a very vague way of talking about black metal is combined with other genres. Name some bands, because usually most of those bands that combine black and death are really just playing old school black metal. I fail to find any Avant-Garde Black Metal bands; that would involve heavy amount of unorthodoxy in the composition. Maybe Blut Aus Nord or Deathspell Omega would fall under that term. I do agree that most of the experimental bands are much more interesting in terms of the current scene but they do not touch Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Bathory, etc.

It needs the influence of other genres to prop up its own vapid monotony.

No, certainly not.

Thank you for playing. Please try again next time.

I wouldn't say most annoying on the planet, maybe among the most annoying that are supposed to be in the metal category. I seriously can't stand the whining in SOAD....
