metal songs whose existence cannot be justified

[damnromulans]

"conventional" metal would be "traditional" --> "heavy metal" --> not Amon Amarth

The most interesting thing about this is the revelation that the C.O.B. singer can actually song "conventionally" and isn't just a screaming machine...

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Alexi Laiho cannot "song" (I think you meant sing) at all, so you're wrong again.

EDIT: Not all tech death sucks, BTW.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Amon Amarth aren't traditional metal you fuckwits.

Children Of Bodom are too gay to have only harsh vocals in my opinion. They should have some fit woman thrown in to the mix with all the Nintendo keyboards and wanky soloing.

The haters of orchestral metal are so cliched. Just because you spend most of your time listening to metal that sounds like goats being killed, does that mean you can't like or at least appreciate classical music or metal mixed with classical music? I like everything from traditional classical music to orchestral metal to experimental metal like S.O.A.D. to traditional metal like Amon Amarth. Criticizing one of the leading symphonic power metal bands of the last decade (Rhapsody) as useless simply shows your lack of class and ability to appreciate (not necessarily like) the full face of metal, but rather taking a narrow, compartmentalized view. Of course there is a lot of crappy power metal of various sub-genres out there, but Rhapsody's history and legacy shows that they definitely don't belong to this category.

Congrats! You named 3 boring/bad bands in your nonsensical tirade that is completely without base. Nobody needs to appreciate anything just because you say so. Get over it.

 

[Ryuuzaki]

There's better power metal out there than Rhapsody.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Well, duh. That's like saying there are better burger joints out there than Wendy's.

 

[Krow]

Really bad covers make me cringe hard.




I fucking raged when I heard this:




Chris Barnes needs a power drill to the crotch for this shit:

 

[damnromulans]

I love Tori Amos but I hate her cover of "Raining Blood"

 

[VelociBrad]

I find her cover more interesting than the original song.

 

[damnromulans]

Burnnnnnnnnnnnn! I don't. It's slow and just some mumbling over a piano. At least with the original you have the full range of band instruments and a little screaming in there to keep you awake.

People posting Grim Reaper's Rock You to Hell and Anvil's Metal on Metal are fags and wouldn't know true metal if presented a choice between Hail to England and Daudi Baldrs. The following songs may be off topic though, depending on whether or not one can morally justify torture under certain occasions.

The most embarrassing attempt of band-worship, or devious members of the NWO conspiring to defame Dave Mustaine?

Progressive blackened melodic flower death. Falsest sub-genre evar, and this song seems to prance the most flamboyantly.

Ok, this isn't metal, but others are posting non-metal songs from metal bands and you can't get much worse than 25 minutes of a single melody repeated over and over again, especially knowing that someone, somewhere, masturbates to this alongside the nude body of a child aged Kristian.

Thirteen minutes of CNN diatribe, five of which are sampled and the rest of which are covered by LaBrie in his most pathetic post-seafood-incident whine.

Anything ever recorded by Bring Me The Hair Straighteners, Carnifag or Suishite Silence. They all deserve to be pulled in half by elephants.

Deathcore sucks balls. It's basically a poorly played version of death metal with shitty vocals, far too many pinch harmonics and emo piss-drip haircuts. Metalcore and melodic stuff is sometimes pretty cool but deathcore is fucking crap and the perpetrators should be executed.

(Apart from Veil of Maya who have been called deathcore but are pretty cool and I don't think they are...)

 

[Evil?]

I actually laughed out loud when "The Village of Dwarves" started playing.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Hey Hey I love Rhapsody and Dr. Stein is classic Come on!

 

[NocturnalNemesis]

Children Of Bodom are too gay to have only harsh vocals in my opinion. They should have some fit woman thrown in to the mix with all the Nintendo keyboards and wanky soloing.

The best thing about C.O.B is their keyboard and guitar solos, that's real instrumental skill right there.

 

[NocturnalNemesis]

I think Blind Guardian and Fairyland (first album) are better, what did you have in mind?

 

[SentinelSlain]

I agree, although I saw them live and the solos were mostly cocked up.

80s power metal. I like quite a bit of power metal, but I cant stand that over folky garbage of Rhapsody.

Forums are for discussion, right? That is the reason for their existence....

Majority of your posts if not all consist of you having a problem with other listeners not liking something. Maybe you should focus on your taste in music being you like Rhapsody and Nightwish.
