shit you wish bands would stop doing

[Life Sucks]

Amorphis did a full circle and kick ass again...have you heard the last 2?

I think that I heard some songs from the last two. I still doubt that they are similar to, or remotely close to as good as the first two.

 

[The Ozzman]

New Amorphis kicks massive amount of ass.

 

[Killbot]

-Making ugly and overly tacky band shirts

Yes. Also carrying too little stock in medium size and not using a colour other than black for the shirt.

They're not, but that still doesn't make them bad albums by any stretch of the imagination.

Vomit (Nor)

The only one that matters.

 

[supseudonymous]

The only one that matters.

...to the history of black metal.

Vomit The Soul (Ita) are fucking awesome, but I'm sure you completely despise them.

 

[Alter]

Yes. Also carrying too little stock in medium size and not using a colour other than black for the shirt.

Yes, I hate when the logo runs across the long sleeves.

I wish bands would stop releasing 5-15 of basically the same album. It's good to keep your signiature style & all, but I can't stand it when a band just gets tiring to listen due to lack of innovation in their sound.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I wish slayer would cut the fucking crap and start releasing thrash metal again.

I wish Ozzy would stop recording.

 

[General Zaroff]

I wish bands would stop copying each other.

 

[cookiecutter]

I actually like Vomit in names. Putrid as well

1) Stop the exaggerated posing in pictures. What may have made sense for say, Possessed in '85 or Darkthrone in '91 doesn't necessarily still work today! Also, Stop the ridiculous grimacing and mouth-gaping in pictures. What the fuck is that? Close your mouth...

2) Corpse paint - unless your band has roots that go back into at LEAST the mid-1990's you missed the moment...lose the paint.

 

[False Joe]

What's all the hate for corpsepaint?

Unless it's done shitty-ily ala Dani Filth, I think it looks fucking ace done right.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Example.

Ha ha, I agree 100%! It gets to be pretty douchebaggy. I don't mind when modern bands do the corpsepaint thing that much, but the posing is ridiculous uke:

 

[Vilden]

I think corpsepaint can be good, but imo it is called corpsepaint and you should look like a corpse with it like for example Darkthrone, not some random ugly pattern or so like Immortal for example, what's up with that?

 

[False Joe]

Meh.

Opinions I guess. I think the immortal corpsepaint looks fucking awesome. Sure it's not corpse-y, but it's solid, and not too intricate.

 

[Belligerent]

Immortal corpsepaint ftw.

 

[Zephyrus]

I wish reissues of most albums didn't come with new cover art.

 

[Belligerent]

Agreed. Kind of loses the whole feel of the album then.
