keep metalcore off wacken. sign the petition

[Ben_t]

metalcore is a gateway for metal

i hated "true" metal until i got into metalcore first

Yeah because if you go to Wacken you need a gateway to metal.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

A few shitty bands in the mix are alright. They give you some time to relax and sit down.

 

[rms]

I'd rather have good bands at Wacken, but at the same time I'm not going relatively soon and I haven't gone yet so my opinion on Wacken doesn't mean shit. But at the same time having 60 bands that you like SUCKS because you would only see a 3rd of them.

 

[ArneZ]

Who gives a shit?

Winner...

 

[The Ozzman]

Good metalcore: August Burns Red, Maroon, Heaven Shall Burn, Unearth
Inferior metalcore: KsE, ATR, Trivium, AILD, A7X

that has nothing to do with what i was saying

 

[vixTRON]

Having a7x there is pretty lame, but I wouldn't care if there is good metalcore at wacken.

 

[Gold]

just for the record
a7x arent even metalcore lulz

 

[Einherjar86]

Primordial makes up for every metalcore band that might pollute the area. Gods, I would love to see them live.

 

[mutantllama]

a7x arent even metalcore lulz

Epic lulz. Epic fucking lulz.

 

[Black Friday]

Someone go there and tape the set, the kind of shit they'd get ought to be hilarious.

 

[Omni]

Metalcore is like a poison spreading everywhere, and destroying the kids who are going to listen to metal, but instead they go and listen to metalcore crap.

If they honestly can't recognize good music before listening to metal and fall for metalcore instead, I'd honestly prefer they listen to metalcore than annoy me by saying stupid things about bands that are actually good.

I don't care if metalcore bands go to Wacken. I'm not going, and I wouldn't care even if I was going.

 

[sevag00]

Shit logic tbh. Maybe go cry some more.

But it's the truth.

I realised recently, that America's latest inventions are:

Nu metal, and metalcore

 

[Hubster]

^ Fuck I could SO run with that comment, but I SO won't

You are such an idiot to think that inventing metalcore is a bad thing. Integrity, Overcast, Converge, Coalesce, Ringworm, etc. are all so far above the majority of bands people here listen to. And yet you would never know that side of metalcore because you're too busy shitting on Killswitch and their ilk.

I love the hypocrisy of metalheads!

 

[False Joe]

I love the hypocrisy of metalheads!

I miss the hypocrisy

 

[Silent_Scream]

Regardless of genre. Bringing these fucking scene / core bands to Wacken to bring combovers wearing eyeliner or combovers wearing Cannibal Corpse t-shirts. It's bastardizing what Wacken is all about, well at least what i thought it is all about.

 

[False Joe]

Tbh wacken's getting pretty heavily bastardised.

I can never understand it either, because they always seem to get booed and shit.

Like supporting bands, why do the booking agents never work out no-ones going to fucking Amon Amarth to see Sonic Syndicate?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Because they want money you retard. Sonic Syndicate are a pretty big band nowadays and they are young, and I'm sure a lot of people actually do want to see them (I like their studio work but their live stuff seems meh from what I have seen on Youtube, though). Besides, it's not like Amon Amarth is the tr00est fucking band ever and they can't play shows with young popular acts.

Overall this thread is just massively retarded. I give it a day before it fucks up so bad that I close it.

But it's the truth.

Oh I was waiting for that one! Look, it's really your problem if you perceive that metalcore bands are actively killing and and maiming people who listen to "true metal." They're not; it's just a different kind of music. I know a lot of metalheads get this idea that they are an enemy insidiously trying to bring us down, but it's almost as bad as Satanist black metal bands fighting their nonexistent Christian god enemy hilarious, just fucking hilarious. Aren't you like 14 years old? Can't you think for yourself? Your post is just ridiculous and sensationalist sounding, tbh.

Also, metalcore isn't one of our latest inventions because it has been around since the early 90s and I'm pretty damn sure someone in America has invented SOMETHING since then
