Good bands that cause more harm than good

[Nate The Great]

Before Of One Blood? I don't have it.

who the hell is the idiot that thinks At The Gates fits this category ??????



however, i agree. power metal should die.
therefor- Manowar is the most useless band ever.
along with EDGUY.
god.
i hate EDGUY.

 

[Black Winter Day]

at the gates fit the category because, despite the fact that they did good work, the spawned a ton of shitty melo-death bands.

Wrong thread. You can wipe Edguy off the face of the planet and absolutely nothing would change. The world would neither be better off or worse off had they never existed. However, if you feel the need to change your answer to Iron Maiden, Savatage, or Helloween, then be my guest.

I chose At the Gates (specifically Slaughter of the Soul) because, although PHENOMENAL, it has spawned way too many clones that we do not need. They waste space on record labels when there are too many unsigned bands with better material waiting to get their music released.

If you don't think At the Gates did a lot of harm to the metal world you're just silly.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Well, first of all, can I wager a bet and say that Helloween will be mentioned more than any other band in this thread?

Otherwise, it's tough to pin it on a band, but can I list an album?

SLAUGHTER OF THE SOUL.

Enough said.

I understand where you guys are going with SotS, but it's silly to blame them without blaming Slayer for "Reign In Blood." Let's face it, without that landmark thrash album, Tompa & co. would probably be in an Alice In Chains clone band.

Not to mention the fact that Manowar isn't even close to a "power metal" band. :Smug:

 

[NAD]

Yeah, I'll agree with bands like Slayer and Possessed.

Note: most of the bands I listed gave us such brilliance that it was worth the trade off to hear a million clones.

yeah, they just suck in their own unique way

You are teh suX0r.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

yuo is

 

[JayKeeley]

You can keep going backwards with this. I blame Black Sabbath for everything!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Black Sabbath blames Led Zeppelin, who in turn blames Robert Johnson and delta blues in general. I knew it was all their fault anyway.

 

[JayKeeley]

So many more responses to throw in here...must refrain...

 

[NAD]

STUPID BACH!!!

 

[JayKeeley]

Oh alright then...fucking goddamn cavemen banging those rocks and sticks together!

 

[NAD]

GOD DAMN SINGLE CELL AMOEBA!!!

 

[Nate The Great]

Dorks . . .

 

[NAD]

I think the Catholic Church should have kept the ban on music, then we wouldn't have all this trouble.

 

[Ayeka]

Helloween - they deserve most of the blame for derivative power metal, along with Judas Priest

Manowar - for inspiring idiots to take true metal rhetoric seriously

and I'm going to get slaughtered for this one:

Darkthrone - for championing the emphasis on shit production

I'm not a fan of any of the above, but most people are ignoring the "good bands" part...

That last sentance and the Darkthrone bit just about saves you from a trip to the ovens
