Controversial opinions on metal

[gundamterran]

This might be somewhat controversial, but I enjoy Akercocke far more then I've enjoyed anything by Opeth.

Vintersorg > Borknagar, although both are great.

Enslaved are the kings of Norway's metal scene.

I see your controversial opinion and raise you one by stating that that Opeth is not only better than Akercocke, but better than most "proggy" metal bands.

Borknagar was at their best with Garm, and Vintersorg is just a more pretentious version of Borknagar, imo.

If you're talking only about currently active Norwegian metal bands, I'll agree with you about Enslaved.

Borknagar was best with Simen, if only because their best album, Quintessence.

The two Garm albums are excellent though.

THe best one with Vintersorg is the latest, Universal.

I haven't heard any of Borknagar's shit with Vintersorg. I have however heard some of Vintersorg's solo material, and both Solens Rotter and Cosmic Genesis are pretty great, if I do say so myself.

Glam metal should be more respected than it is.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

No.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Yeah well I think it has it's merits.

 

[Satanstoenail]

It's merits what?

 

[VelociBrad]

Glam metal should be more repected than it is.

well I think it deserves more respect than deathcore and metalcore. I could agree with you there.

Oh for fuck's sake. They were men dressed up to look like women who played mostly shit hard rock.

Mostly is the operative word. Obviously alot of it sucks, but there's still good stuff. As said above it deserves at least as much respect as deathcore, metalcore.

Guys dressed up in girl jeans with hugely stretched ears playing shit music designed to appeal to the lowest kind of poser metal fan is better yeah?

Watch out bro. Here comes the breakdown!!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Men dressing like women for outrageous stage theatrics is more metal than scenesters that follow a pseudo-artsy dress code of big gauges and tattoos. Only a few glam metal bands were really what I'd call "cross-dressing" anyway.

Who really cares about that shit? I mean, everyone knows that posturing as pseudo-intellectual nihilists under bastardized KISS makeup is the nadir of trueness.

Yeah, but the music is also good.

My thoughts exactly.

You strike me as someone who postures as pseudo-intellectual.

I find it hard to believe that so many people across the world could dismiss an entire genre on the basis of it's aesthetic values, it's not that hard to ignore the... style... that the majority of glam bands incorporated. Therefore it's a conspiracy. I blame the PMRC.
