Top ten bands that ruined metal in your opinion

[CF87]

Meshuggah, they yiddish for crazy make everybody jump da fuck up.

 

[damnromulans]

Hahaha, I was going to make a post similar to Death Delirium's

 

[Doomguy]

Klutch

Firstly, learn to spell the name correctly. It's 'Clutch'.

Secondly, understand that Clutch have had no role in 'ruining' metal as they are awesome and always will be.

And yes, they are not metal.

LOL

Good anwser but more for metalcore than nu-metal.

Before saying the bands name first check out if they are METAL and then blame them for ruining Metal.
And I think Metal music doesn't get ruined by any shitty band.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Pantera aren't that bad. They just inspired white trash to pick up guitars and churn out second-rate Pantera clone bands.

You cannot blame At the Gates for spawning a massive plague of "melodic death metal" bands. You may like ATG or not, but their albums are pretty good (i actually like most of them). It's not their fault that 1 million bands picked that sound and made cheap clones out of it.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

No band ruined metal for me. If I don't like a band, I simply don't listen to them. Then again, I don't really listen to any modern metal.

agreed, but i listen to modern metal as much as i do the old stuff

Considering that the album that is cloned has approximately one song and several copies, there could be some argument as to why the sub-genre gets so samey on that front.

 

[Forgotten.nemesis]

Nobody can blame at the gates they rule forever

 

[Badbird]

Metalcore is one reason At the Gates had a bad influence

 

[Forgotten.nemesis]

Its insanity!
Thats right we can now say that black sabbath ruined metal because of metalcore or Nu-metal.

 

[Einherjar86]

At the Gates weren't metalcore though. They were a great early melodic death metal band. Bands cannot be said to have been bad influences simply because their music was/is being misinterpreted by listeners.

And furthermore, who are we to say it's misinterpretation?

EDIT: @Tom Brady

 

[Xorv]

tom brady is still here? where?

we should start calling trolls tom bradys

 

[Badbird]

At the gates is melodic death metal but metalcore bands was influences by it.

 

[_Mindrust_]

The way I understood it was a reverse psychology kind of thing and it amounts to no more than a most important bands in metal. So it hits on bands that made a contribution in the various directions metal took.

That's the way I looked at it too. Kinda obvious when you see Black Sabbath and Metallica on there, but it seems everyone took it literally.

He changed his name to Badbird.

But he'll always... be Brady... to me.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Honestly, if you want to blame anyone for ruining metal, you should blame the fans.

could not have said it any better myself.

musical elitism and a lack of originality throughout genres is ultimately what will kill metal. people just wanna hear the same old shit over and over again and anytime someone comes along and has new ideas people jump on the bandwagon and say they suck for not conforming to standards

 

[CF87]

The Durst ruined metal just for the nookie, so you can take that cookie and stick it up your yeah.
