I am compleatly in love with those bands above but recently I've come to a stand still with finding more bands i actually can merely even stand. Is it just me or is there more crap around these days then ever before, theres plenty of bands that claim to be better then those above and plenty that claime to be more "hardcore" then the rest, yet none of these "wannabes" (I loathe that term) ever even live up to being on the same level as the legend bands they claim to be better then.
I've noticed that since the "Nu metal"outbreak the amount of these 'get rich quick, get famous, get laid , get drunk and really provide nothing for the music community" bands have been popping up none stop, all claiming to be the next Metallica or better than any credible band they can come up with. I'm bored of pop bands claiming to be metal and I'm bored of "pussies" claiming to be 'hardcore'. And to be honest these days hardcore purely means lazy assholes who don't even care about the music they create as long as they get sales. It does however, amuse me seeing all these bands rise, fall and dissapear compleatly all , usually within a year.
I just wish more bands that are actually making credible music were promoted the way these "come go" bands are, that way maybe we'd have less little kids running round talking about being "hardcore". Rant over - now rip everthing I said to peices :Spin:
Why? What is wrong with trying to be positive about things? Yeah, I probably like a lot of bad bands, hence me posting on herethe_3_toed_sloth said:Jesus christ, people who have forgotten how to judge are retarded. Ill dumb this down to a simple, easily absorbable sentence: Just because something is successful, does not inherently mean it is good. Hitler was pretty damn successful, but not so much 'good' as a 'deranged lunatic'. Much music these days is successful, but so inanely derivative, repetitive, bland and formulaic, that there is no point in trying to defend some positive attribute that you've arbitrarily invented to justify its success. Its stupid, lazy music for stupid, lazy people. If you disagree, then you probably don't know any good bands, so cannot tell the difference. There IS good music out there, but its an insult to those truly great bands when you say that the likes of N*Sync deserve their success and recognition, that we should be learning from them.

That could be applied to Burzum, yet they're not shit, so you = wrong.Shadows Skulk said:ok, listening to Pale Folklore and 2 songs in I have concluded that the guy has the weakest black metal rasp ever, the riffs are simplistic, and the only solo I've heard was terrible
i agree.Sfarog said:I'll take Agalloch's ability to make simple yet emotional and atmospheric music over any technical, boring (ie Dream Theater-like) metal band any day.
Agalloch wasn't as good as they thought they were as great as the other who were as good as they are right when they thought they were as good as the others who thought they were great.Gunhaver said:let's use english folks. it's not agalloch ARE good, it's agalloch IS good
