EPIC QUESTIONNAIRE THREAD

[Elric of Melniboné]

You sound like a big baby whining about traditional metal. It's obvious that I've touched a nerve since I suddenly became part of the opposition in an argument that I didn't even take part in.

I always love it when someone makes a long post that ends with anyway I don't care.

I guess it would be groundless if I were wrong about not being near a computer. For all I care insofar as it affects me, your mixtape games as of tomorrow can be 100% Christianity themed retro trad.

My suggestion of a genuinely extreme mix tape game was made purely out of a selfless desire for your musical betterment.

Christianity themed retro trad.

That would be awesome. However, I'm in the games to hear bands of all subgenres that I don't yet know. Like I said, if you just wanna hear extreme metal, literally browse through your collection and listen to something.

I doubt you could ever provide that, you meh over classic Iron Maiden and cream over Anklecock. But I appreciate all efforts on my behalf.

That's like me putting the well being of a baby into the hands of an anti-vac.

I want new extreme metal is the point. In hope of finding some, one can imagne my disappointment when I eagerly turn to the mixtape playlists only to find Destroyer 666 and a bunch of sucky trad and progressive outfits I've mostly heard of already.

I don't mind Iron Maiden, but their melodies are big and obvious and sing-along in a way that brings back vague memories of pre-school. They're basically toddler metal.

As to Akercocke, don't I remember you posting a link to Voices in one of these threads some time ago? Voices was a lower quality project of some of Akercocke's members after the band broke up... not bad, but not on the same level. Check out Summon the Antichrist off of Akercocke's most recent album and tell me with a straight face that it doesn't wipe the floor with Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden is just too faggy and rudimentary to stand up to the objectively better music of Akercocke.

Holy shit... was that sarcasm?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

The best part is that you made a post while I was reading the topic that was essentially the long form of what I said to mock you, except you were being serious.

Idiotic opinion. Sorry but it's true, your positive or negative memory association with the band has nothing to do with the band's quality.

I certainly don't think anything Anuscockerel has done or will ever do will wipe the floor with Iron Maiden, strictly speaking anything they did up to Somewhere In Time.

I started out almost exclusively as a death metal fanatic so I'm quite familiar with them. No thanks I'll take classic Iron Maiden any day.

imagne my disappointment

I share it. I too want to ear new stuff, fine not every submission can be a total surprise, but we can avoid Slayer and Saint Vitus at the very least.

Tbh I'd be surprised if you'd ever even listened to Akercocke, although you wouldn't much like them even if you had.

I wasn't actually a cool enough toddler to listen to Iron Maiden at the time. Nevertheless Iron Maiden does share certain attributes in common with children's music (simple melodies, sing along sections, digestible visually oriented lyrics). Eddy also looks like an evil zombie as envisioned by Walt Disney, and their stage show involves massive puppets and punch and judy style antics.

Hmm... how about a mixtape game in which artists with a certain number of last fm followers (as a measure of popularity/likelihood to be known by everyone else) are banned?

Did your brain Brexit too or some shit?

That seems clusterfucky, but you might be onto something. Perhaps no submissions by bands submitted before or maybe better, no songs off albums submitted before.

Yeah. Also Arg gets to choose the theme every round irrespective of who wins.

I saw a post about them around the time that I joined this site (possibly posted by you) and listened to a few songs. I don't remember what they sound like.

It would just be endless slam/pornogrind.

Almost certainly by me then, lol. It's difficult to predict what you'll like Extreme Metal wise, but think progressive death metal with some black metal touches (more black metal on the early albums).

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Since you like them so much, I can safely assume that they sound like shit and not listen to them again.

 

[CiG]

They're honestly not that bad, just a little boring to me.

For a bot you sure do pack a lot of hate.

 

[Phylactery]

Akercocke is mediocre at best and nowhere near classic Iron Maiden wtf.

If you want a black/death hybrid go and listen to Nox Intenpesta's Damnanus - Dominum if you haven't since it is light years ahead of anything by Akercocke. It does lean on the black metal side, though.

Also stop being a whore and rate the current mixtape before your trip.

 

[CiG]

Oh wow, this was a lot worse than I remember it being. What the hell is up with the drumming? I don't even remember the band using pig squeals...

I immediately feel validated about selling their CDs from my collection.
