Controversial opinions on metal

[ArneZ]

A lot of other 80s thrash > The 'Big Four'

of course

Actually, the degree to which the cream rose to the top with thrash is really quite impressive. Sure, there's some forgotten gems, but nothing like, say, the early Swedish DM scene or the NWOBHM.

 

[King Richard]

Nevermore sucks.

I guess that's not so controversial since a few people were trashing them in that Nevermore thread. Oh well.

I wouldn't say they suck, they have some pretty good stuff. Those who don't like Dane's vocals dislike (or hate) the band. Those who enjoy it or can at least tolerate it tend to like Nevermore.

 

[WCannibal]

God I'm sick of the Warrel Dane haters.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I agree.

 

[Dak]

God I'm sick of the Warble Dane haters.

FYP.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Not my case, I like his vocals.

 

[CF87]

Megadeth are pretty terrible.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not as bad as Lacuna Coil

 

[damnromulans]

Nevermore don't suck but their ballads suck and they have too many ballads

 

[damnromulans]

Ballads suck. I can't think of a ballad I like better than a non-ballad by the same band.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Ballads suck. I can't think of a ballad I like better than a non-ballad by the same band.

Any non-ballad?

 

[damnromulans]

Rephrased: On any given album the best song is not the ballad. Unless you count "Fade to Black" as a ballad, but it's tied with "Ride the Lightning" IMO

 

[Dak]

For Whom the Bell Tolls omg.

 

[damnromulans]

I'm biased because I can't play For Whom The Bell Tolls on the violin.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I mostly agree then, with the exception of Judas Priest's Fever. And their Dreamer Deceiver. And Run of the Mill, if it counts. Priest ballads are awesome.

EDIT: Forgot Beyond the Realms of Death, FUCK.

 

[waif]

I can think of a lot of damn good ballads...power ballads, that is.
Real ballads are usually pretty boring. G'n'R did some great ballady songs, though.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I think this is a good ballad by Nevermore:

 

[JontRevolting]

My personal favourite ballad ever!

Here's something controversial! The music contained within the split lp Stargazer/harbringer/H.A.S.T.UR.,contains some of the best music ever created,covered in centuries old filth,it covers so many spectrums within a very limited boundary
