the problem with headbanger's ball

[King Richard]

so offended by someone who doesn't know me at all. I DON'T CARE about people's opinions about me. So you can call me anything you want really, and I just won't care.

You really are fucking stupid man.

 

[Ender Rises]

I still think of all those things as emo. =/

Contemporary punk based rock is heavily influenced by emo, but it isn't.

 

[Imp!]

For the ever-so-clichéd comparison, if a huge proportion of the population vehemently despised metal on the basis of something like Limp Bizkit, wouldn't it bug you enough to want to correct them?

You know, you're right. Didn't even think of it like that.

Hey, did anybody ever catch the Headbanger's Ball that used to be on the radio? I think it was like 2 years ago, and it had Ricky Rachtman (sp?) too, I couldn't fucking believe it. It was on some talk station at midnight or 2 in the morning or so, and it was incredible, Danzig, Megadeth, Metallica, Black Flag, all kinds of good shit was being played, but I haven't been able to find the show since I heard it that one time... anybody know what I'm talking about, maybe there's a metal show somewhere else on the dial?

 

[Impudent]

Nope.

 

[Imp!]

Nope.

So was this how you end up with 3166 posts in 4 months?

 

[Impudent]

Yep.

 

[Imp!]

Yep.

Ahh...maybe you should get out more?

 

[Impudent]

I definately should. Actually, I do get out quite a bit, I just get less sleep.

Yea, The AMERICAN YOUTH. Fatties.

 

[Impudent]

I'm not fat.

In general, I didn't find the Headbangers Ball to be to great. To much metalcore... to much not-so-heavy-metal. Like I don't mind metalcore and all that shit, but that was an overdose for me.

 

[Impudent]

Yeah, that's the problem. They're taking this half-metal bullshit and selling it to the kids and it's spawning this horrible trend.

 

[Thasis]

Yah, Metalcore veterns like Zao and stuff are cool... for there industry. But telling us that bands like that and Atreyu and the such are Metal? No no no...

 

[Impudent]

Atreyu are pretty much the worst of them all.

 

[Thasis]

I have all of there CD's... I like there music... but there to much of posers as people... and that drummer pisses me off. The screamer is the only real guy worth a damn... but that makes the band for me so I'm happy

 

[Impudent]

I liked them a while ago. Their first CD is still quite enjoyable at times. But their whole image and just the trend that they've helped inspire is what I hate. Avenged Sevenfold are another big one.

 

[Thasis]

Oh god... A7X... there earlier stuff was good, Bat Country was good (if you could ignore the music video)... but they act like such posers... and I feel that they've sold out (as do many others). In general... they piss me off.

As for Atreyu, I liked there The Curse CD. There newest CD had a few memorable tracks, but in general they're borderline completly selling out. There first CD.... omg... godly!

 

[Impudent]

They all sold out when they added more emo to their music.
