The Spirit of Metal is not like the Ghost of Christmas Past or any hippie bullshit like that. It's the feeling of unity and purpose that surges through you as you and your best mates are banging your heads against the stage to an onslaught of true heavy fucking metal. It's the tingling up your spine as that feral fucking riff rubs you just the right way. It's the sense of awe as the subtle perfection of the epic hymn suddenly dawns on you in its perfection. It's the whole fucking point of this whole fucking genre.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

well arent you a lil' faggit

 

[Cythraul]

Should we have to though? Why not limit sigs, just like avatar's are size limited. Some people just abuse it and it's a fucking liberty.

Deron said something a long time ago about how people should limit their sig sizes, but then he stopped caring for some reason

I still don't understand how anyone can stand looking at that shit in every post, no matter how big they are. I've had them hidden in my settings ever since I joined here.

I know this is getting off conversation, but I'm gonna move back to the topic. I know many of you resent metal-core and I'm not that fond of it that much either, but I remember something far worse from when I was younger, NU-metal. I can recall the days were Nu bands played nothing but "jump da fuck up" riffs and lacked any kind of real substance. I'd take metalcore over Disturbed, Mudvayne, ect. It's not like Wacken is trying to play those acts up. Besides, I have enjoyed Black Dahlia murder and some of the older God forbid and would like to think I'd watch those bands play something live there. Although BDM might not really be metal-core ( I don't think they are at all). And what about the Red Chord, they are pretty solid!

I have absolutely no problem with the concept of metalcore. I'm a metalhead who loves a lot of hardcore. I've known many hardcore kids who love metal. It's inevitable that the two genres would get combined like chocolate and peanut-butter. And some bands do an absolutely fantastic job of it.

The problem is that metalcore is the hip trendy "in" thing to do right now, so there are alot of substanceless untalented bands out there jumping on the bandwagon(so to speak) and putting out shitty music.

And I think more then anything it's the dirty fucking "scene" kids who are really polluting the water here. They know absolutely nothing about either metal or hardcore and are simultaneously shitting all over both genres in their pursuit of be the hottest new thing on the block.

But these have always and always will exist. Yesterday it was nu metal, today it's metalcore and tomorrow it'll be something else. Saying a genre sucks and complaining about it just because its fans are little faggots is pointless.

See, I would think that someone who has sigs turned off would choose to not have anything as a sig though..

You have a bigass sig yourself.

The problem is that metal and hardcore combine less like chocolate and peanut butter and more like peanut butter and vaginal secretions.
And Wacken is supposed to be a metal festival, so it should remain pure metal.

 

[TheAnonymous]

But that would start a debate on what is really metal and what isn't. A lot of people say metalcore isn't metal and a lot of people say it is, so it isn't farfetched to say that it is metal. Much in the same way, many say Black Sabbath is metal, but many others would say that while they influenced metal, they aren't actually metal. Should we make a petition to keep bands like Sabbath off Wacken too then?

P.S. In no way am I trying to compare Black Sabbath metalcore bands, just trying to make a point.

 

[Zephyrus]

Being metal or not doesn't make a difference when your music sucks.

Hey it's your problem if you have shitty narrow tastes in music. Expand your horizons child.

You haven't listened to enough metalcore outside of the mainstream stuff then

Or tried enough vaginas smeared in peanut butter.

I would imagine it would be messier if she didn't shave

I've read that Wacken crowds have been growing a lot over the past few years to the point where it's a pain in the ass to move around. So this year they get Iron Maiden who can sell out a 50,000 seat venue by themselves. That's more of a "sell out" move to me than getting some shitty mainstream American metalcore bands.
