Top ten bands that ruined metal in your opinion

[Heavy is this crown]

Is this the exaggeration you mean? That's fine; even so, this exaggeration implies that you think most (not all, but most) black metal music since '94 is a poor mimicry of its predecessors. I intend to point out that you're casting far too much black metal into a narrow, close-minded category. Your description does not, by any means, suit the majority of black metal being written today. Therefore your exaggeration, which was intended to make a point (even if it wasn't entirely serious), is a valid contender for my contestation.

yes, but semantics aside -- oh wait


lol

edit - you really are a fucking retard ^ and that post just over exemplifies it as so.

Not as a significant and interesting artistic tendency.

extremely biased statement with no creditable sources to back it up, thank you for sharing.

The percentage of good bands to bad ones, and the trends for good attributes versus bad ones.

While I somewhat agree with that statement I have to say with the quality of music they play on mainstream America media those bands really aren't all that bad.

I think the inclusion of black sabbath is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, i.e. they started the whole metal ball rolling with every metal band that came afterwards taking some influence from them, so therefore logically they ruined metal by starting it in the first place.

I don't really buy all this 'ruining metal' stuff, its natural for music to progress into different subgenres as it develops, some of these are arguably totally awful but they still got metal out to a wide audience and kept up record sales after the golden era of the late 80s early 90s. It can be argued that metal was 'ruined' in the 90s when traditional thrash/death waned and the newer genres took over, but nowadays there is a massive resurgence of classic style metal with old bands releasing good stuff and new ones coming in emulating the original styles. So metal went off the rails temporarily but is now in very healthy form!

 

[Badbird]

I don't think metal can be ruined. I can see influnce shitty bands but that will always happen. Metalsucks sucks anyway.

It's a metal forum. People come here to talk seriously about the music they like. What did you expect?
