Top ten bands that ruined metal in your opinion

what could a jagoff expect ? what could people expect from a jagoff ?

all that matters is since two days ago there are new rules and guidelines on posting and we need to adhere to them... or the weight of the jagoff crown shall be wielded down upon any serfs who dare defy
 
I think the argument that certain bands "ruined" metal really is silly, especially if the reasoning is that those bands helped to build a new sound/style which they personally consider unwelcome to metal. I'd much rather have the metal scene take a chance, experiment and try new things regardless if I like or dislike end result, than listen to the same old sound over and over.

If I don't like a certain kind of metal, I won't waste time and effort listening to it.
 
you guys really are having problems interpreting that entire artical, Im beginning to understand some of the problems here. read/comprehend/evaluate, stop jumping to conclusions
 
Nu Metal shit. All of them.

Black, Death, Thrash and Doom Metal bands ARE alive and kicking. Those who don't like Metal shouldn`t even be posting here, what's the point? :Smug:

I agree that bands should experiment. Everything has its place, listen to what you like. It's not like I'm going to start a war against bad music, but surely it makes sense that people would have opinions about what direction they'd like music to have taken. My problem is with trends. Metal bands often claim to be trendless but unfortunately they are anything but. When a band comes out with a new attribute, a million bands instantly copy it. It inevitably snowballs and the course of metal has been changed. A band "ruins metal" when they introduce aspects which move metal away from the things I like and towards the things I don't. It's just opinion stuff, like saying who sucks and who's great. I don't think anyone's claiming otherwise.

Say, with the Emperor example, there are still plenty of bands who adopted that style which I love. But I can't help thinking that these same talented bands would have done better if they hadn't been influenced by the waves that followed Emperor. It's not even about not evolving and changing. It's about bands who introduce certain, specific attributes into the cue that then get adopted by the vast majority of new bands. I'd have loved to see Black Metal mingling more with dissonant pure noise and trim, lo-fi thrash instead of melody-laden, complex death metal and symphony orchestras. And sure, there are bands that evolved down my chosen path, but they are in the fierce minority and most of the talent is going towards the more popular sound. Thus metal has been ruined in the sense that there could be some parallel universe out there where in place of Cradle of Filth, Velvet Cacoon and Leviathan, there are three bands that are exactly what I wish I was listening to right now. :)

Fred Durst and his band Limp Shitdick ruined metal, the decline of popularity and albums sales is because of Durst. What an asshole.
 
Not like top ten but ruining metal right now: Emmure and similar shit, Lamb of God, KSE, etx.

Lamb of God is good, fuck you. Emmure can go choke on a million dicks though.

Lamb of God is fucking generic and boring IMO. I would include on the list Trivium. Nu metal did/does damage (influenced) to some melo(dic)death bands in an awful way like In Flames. Dark Tranquillity became generic too, but I blame mainly to At The Gates' Slaughter of the soul and Arch Enemy.
