Metal for the Parents

[Zephyrus]

The whole Satanic/Anti-Christian aspect of it was the initial reason why I kind of hid my musical interests in the first place. It seems like my parents are either completely ignorant of that, or they know me enough that they I wouldn't be negatively by such themes.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

not rly

When it's taken to the point that an utterly talentless band, which clearly could not write accessible music to save their lives, can make a black metal album which is considered "good" by its target audience, I would call that a level of absurdity.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Why do people always give the '80s so much shit? It's not like the '90s and '00s were any better.

You should show him some Iron Maiden, Metallica, Bathory, Europe, and Yngwie Malmsteen, and then ask him if he still thinks the '80s were horrible. It was a huge decade for the growth of heavy metal.

...Overkill, Judas Priest, Gravedigger, Metal Church, Motorhead, Forbidden, WASP...

 

[Valerie]

Did you try at all explaining to him that technical proficiency is essentially antithetical to most forms of Metal and that the amateurish performance tends to be half of the charm of the music in its efforts to thwart the traditionally held notions of what is acceptable music?

You're just talking about vocals right?

Zeph maybe you should send him some symphonic metal song with operatic vocals.

 

[Zephyrus]

Not my preference for metal. I wanted to demonstrate to him my tastes exclusively.

 

[mutantllama]

He should send him some Blind Guardian. Just to show the variety of metal.

 

[Valerie]

Well how 'bout now you send him a CD if shit you think he'll enjoy.

 

[Zephyrus]

Brilliant idea!

 

[supseudonymous]

Some Apocalyptica maybe?

 

[Zephyrus]

A bit late, sir.


If he ever wants to hear more, I'll lend him a couple albums in person.

 

[supseudonymous]

I assumed when you said Val's suggestion is a brilliant idea that you intended to undertake the making of a second compilation of metal he'd enjoy.

 

[Zephyrus]

Sarcasm.

 

[Mort Divine]

Should've put something from Obscura on it.

 

[Valerie]

Sarcasm.

There's nothing wrong with my idea tbh. If he liked some of the music on the CD you already sent to him, send him some more of it.

Should've put something from Obscura on it.

He probably would have shit his pants

 

[Zephyrus]

I fulfilled what I purposed, so anything more will be by his request.

And I'm going send him some of your feedback on his review, just to give him some more insight into the metal mind.

 

[supseudonymous]

Damn your sarcasm. Before you said "Brilliant Idea" I was actually going to say "Shut up he obviously isn't interested in converting his parents to metal. He just wanted to educate his parents in his musical tastes."

 

[Zephyrus]

Indeed.

 

[Alter]

Zeph, Drudkh-Blood In Our Wells would have been a good idea.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Well he'll just hop into that wormhole he has tucked in his fucking closet and remember to remind his past self of that.

 

[Alter]

He has a worm hole!?!?!
