Is there ANY good metal out there?

[no country for old wainds]

are there any of these so-called 'purists' on this board? no, i didn't think so

edit: well maybe now cynical's here

The people in this thread are stupid, seriously...

Since when is anything correct or incorrect in music? Huh? Does one band suck more or is less pure because someone with more power doesn't like it? Is a band that belongs to a certain "fag" genre automatically bad? FUCK NO!

It's called opinion, stick to yours, and tell anyone to shut the fuck up if they think otherwise.

 

[Zephyrus]

You missed the point of the thread, that it's all bullshit.

It's my opinion that those people should have some respect instead of acting like neanderthals.

Call me a bitch but I don't consider "Everything that I don't like is fag shit pussy ballfuck metal" to be a worthy perspective. And I don't know why we tolerate such blatant idiocy on a board that otherwise is extremely intelligent.

This thread is horrible and it sucks and the fag who posted it likes shit horrible fag metal

I like satanstoenail and I mean no offense to him but I think we should shy away from this kind of crap. Maybe he was being sarcastic but a lot of people on here aren't when they say this stuff.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

The general rule is that you may not listen to any bands with more than a thousand albums sold or with a name that can be pronounced by a human tounge. The only exceptions are Iron Maiden and early Metallica.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Maybe he was being sarcastic

I would've hoped that was pretty obvious. I actually quite like a lot of shit horrible fag metal myself.

 

[entanglement]

So, if I understand, I am allowed to like a band until they start selling more than 14 copies of their album. At that point, they begin to suck and go down the "faggothole".

No you fucking idiot. Read the post again.

There's no way to objectively say if a band/album/song is good or not. Everything about musical taste is subjective, which is why there's no such thing as good or bad taste.

That's why you should like what you like and not worry about what other people think. I listen to shit like DevilDriver and Trivium as well as At The Gates and Iron Maiden. Why? It's because I like the music, not because I like to follow trends. If I followed trends, I'd be listening to nothing but deathcore bands right now.

 

[waif]

The only way to be tr00, kvlt, or br00tal, depending on your preference, is to say "fuck other people" and listen to whatever you want.

 

[no country for old wainds]

taste being subjective absolutely does not mean i can't/shouldn't call someone a tremendous faggot for liking music i hate

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, but then I could say you're a faggot for wearing huge sunglasses

 

[rms]

why you people are seriously debating in this thread is beyond me, another sign of you all being stupid.

no country, you let me down. but not surprised after the shawshank comment

Yes.

+1. Its funny when some metalheads say they are so nonconformist because they listen to metal yet the only metal they listen to is the metal that everyone else likes. There is a lot more music to enjoy when you're not trying to please people with your musical taste.

 

[Cynical]

I don't see anybody going around saying "Pfft, you like Nokturnal Gaytum? Fag."

That's a shame. Nokturnal Mortum fucking suck.

A certain band with a cult status can be aesthetically similar to a popular band, and yet the latter will be trashed all over the place, whilst the former gets pointlessly glorified. This is just stupid.

Actually, it's probably because the former band is artistically better even if they are aesthetically similar; an example of this would be Cannibal Corpse vs. the first Monstrosity album.

those were a chick's sunglasses. i'm not sure if that makes it better or worse

shawshank wouldnt be popular if it wasnt for unkvlt folks like you

 

[no country for old wainds]

That's a shame. Nokturnal Mortum fucking suck.

didn't you call them cradle of filth clones at one point

 

[Einherjar86]

Being tr00 has nothing to do with listening to music. As long as you have the metal look, you're golden.
