Controversial opinions on metal

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Brave Murder Day is a perfect album just as it is. Would not be better with any changes.

"KISS" is one of the worst bands of all time and that they are considered to be a part of heavy metalglam metal is ridiculous, they fail even as a pop rock band.

In the 1970's, KISS was one of he best rock bands in the world, and I don't see how this can be disputed. It is ridiculous that they are categorized by the VH1 crowd as metal (though the album Destroyer was pretty close), but as for a rock band in the 70's, KISS is easily in the same league with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith. Creatures Of The Night was the beginning of the end, as every album since then (with the exception of Revenge) has been terrible.

you both do know that they released an album called Eld that is fairly well thought of, right?

I'm interested to see what people say about this (partly because Queensryche doesn't seem to be a widely listened-to band here):

Queensryche's Warning is their best release, and much better than Operation: Mindcrime.

It's more "true metal" that O:M, but I wouldn't say it's better. I think the self-titled EP and Mindcrime are their strongest releases.

Edited my list.

Some controversial opinions of my own:

I fucking hate Queensryche. I'd rather choke on my own vomit than listen to that pompous pretentious garbage. Geoff Tate's voice is like nails on chalkboard.

I think they got better with each release up to Promised Land, but The Warning is still excellent.

How so? Song-for-song, Operation: Mindcrime is definitely their most traditional and tr00 full-length, putting aside Suite Sister Mary. The Warning is pretty prototypical of Keepers-era Helloween in its light and melodic nature, and has those weird orchestral bits, and Take Hold of the Flame which is a total power ballad.

Funny because my opinion is 100 times more valid than yours.

That's it just keep jacking off your own ego. There is no truth there is only perception. True fans of The Faceless know what's up.

The fuck?

Why would anyone like that piece of shit band?

 

[Kara-Shehr]

KISS is better than Children of Bodom at least.

ANYTHING is better than that except for the first two records.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Why like anything? Why not just ask you to tell me which bands to like?

Protip: not everyone is you thats why taste differs one person to the next.

Protip: Music can be objectively judged and to state that Demilich is a shit band is proof of a failure to understand music.

 

[Mort Divine]

Anyways, Echoes From Beneath > Unleashing the Slugathron > Circle of Death

One man's trash is another man's treasure and vice versa.

Not to derail but does anyone else read mort's posts in the voice you think the girl in his avatar would talk?

Because I do, and it's fairly annoying. (in my mind)

 

[Ryuuzaki]

It's Hayley Williams, right? She has too nice of a voice for that.

 

[Mort Divine]

Her speaking voice isn't too annoying

I honestly thought he was a nerdy girl when I joined here, so yeah.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I actually thought he was that girl until I saw his pic in the "Pics" thread awhile ago. I keep thinking he's that girl from Paramore...the same goes for everyone else I visualize them as their avatar for some reason.
