Trivium

[MetalAges]

The whole "sounds like Metallica" thing is a crock, in that, if you go through the albums that you like, or enjoy listening to, and list them here, I am sure there will be some people here that could say "Oh that just sounds like "blah" what a rip off band!"

So what if it sounds like Metallica could have released that album - a good album is a good album. I remember once upon a time when a lot of us would have lovedto check out something that "sounds like Metallica!"

Your taste always continues to perplex me.

Sweet!

I just like good music man. If it is good, thumbs up from me. While Metal is my fav genre, I listen to everything from Bluegrass to New Age. Yeah there's some sucky stuff in there but no different than Metal. I just like a good song/band no matter what.

To answer the thread's first question:

I don't, and would prefer not to, so make this thread go away.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

They are good, they have a good style of riffs, which to me are pretty catchy, even tho I like the vocals now, more then the previous albums...but whatever, I like them, and first of all who gives a shit about vocals, it's all about the music man

How about I make you go away?

metalages, I honestly think you're wayoff when you say people hate this band because they are popular or "hot topic" - ish

mastodon is one of the most popular + prominent metal bands in the world and is widely respected/admired on this board

trivium is despised because they are pop metal for children...

no offense, ofcourse

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Trivium do nothing wrong. They just play their "more generic than you can handle" metal, with its silly ideas and its ultra super production, and people who haven't listened much good old school metal, adore them. It's the press people that praise them that need to be shot.

 

[MetalAges]

I'm never offended by another person's opinon, it's when people try to subject their opinions as the "be all end all" that I have issues with. It's a virus on this particular board.

Give Mastodon a couple more albums, if they get more popular, you'll see it. Another issue Trivium had is they started out marketed to the "core" folk more so than they are/play now. That never sits well with the "be all end all" chaps.

 

[Hubster]

@ the almost unanimous agreement of how much this band sucks ass.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I don't really hate them that much, some material off their new album is tolerable, but I tend to strongly dislike generic, overpopularized bands.

AGREED!!!!

i think only the vocals sound like metallica, the music is pretty un-metallicaish

 

[zim18]

if you dont like the band then WHY THE FUCK would you even bother opening it and posting useless spam like, "close this fucking thread"

you could atleast give a few intelligent points as to why you do not like the band instead of making yourself look like a retard

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

I think they should go away... and take everyone who ever called them a thrash band with them.

I like Trivium, but I hate their stupid fucking fans that call them thrash metal.

death to false metal

Now, what exactly is false metal? Metal that you in particular don't like?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

Now, what exactly is false metal? Metal that you in particular don't like?

what I perceive not to represent the spirit and purpose of metal music (I guess)

IE groove metal, shit metalcore bands, etc...

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

So Chuck represented the spirit of metal music? LAWLZ!

I don't like Trivium because they are boring generic "thrash" that is basically plays a shit style of Metallica's "Master Of Puppets". Also they're older music was such a joke. If they do somehow become "good" then I would probably just ignore their older material. Just like I listen to older Sepultura, but ignore the newer stuff.

 

[Gold]

their newest cd sounds NOTHING like master of puppets, other then the fact that some of the vocals resemble hetfield. it definitly is a thrash cd for the most part, just with a few catchier parts, alot of it is pretty creative actually.


on the other hand
obvious rip-off of :A Slayer type solo
A Kreator type solo
Cheesy lyrics
poor attempt at a rammstein song
Poor vocals
Some of the drumming is boring

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

what the fuck is your point??? I don't give a shit if chuck was christian or not (just like I don't give a shit if tom araya is a christian)

all of death's albums are excellent death metal/progressive/technical metal

 

[zim18]

im sorry but anyone to even think for a split second that trivium sounds/acts/plays anything like metallica needs serious help....
