god_king said:I'm not sorry for saying this but THUNDER and The Darkness really sucks cock even Black Crows. Real metallers is influenced by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Judas Priest.
Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Iron Maiden etc = OVER RATED Kerrang shit.
Man you need to stop the drugs! The Darkness are shit, no doubt. Blackmore used to be great (not now but I still live in the hope of a Blackmore / Dio reunion), but Black Sabbath are overrated Kerrang shit !??!!??**! Man you are an idiot. Have you ever listened to Paranoid or Master of Reality or Sabotage or Dehumanizer?? Anyway Kerrang f***ing hated Sabbath until 5 years ago. And Maiden! And I'm a fan of Priest but just ask Rob who the true metal god is and he'll tell you - Tony Iommi !!!

He also said Gay people are wrong in society for their sexuality, he has some serious issues with homosexuality.
He told me he goes to the gym, whatever that is about.
He must have nothing better to do.
I feel sorry for him a bit

Couldn't agree more. The man IS metal, and should get all the praise that is given to Ozzy, as without him metal wouldn't be the same.
DogVomit said:Calm down...Black Sabbath are boring. So what? They were influental, respect to them. They're still boring though.
Black Lagoon said:...and getting back to The Darkness...Can't see why people don't like 'em, it's AC/DC with Freddie Mercury on vocals.
god_king said:"Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin they had heavy materials before Black Sabbath. Even Fleetwood Mac..."
So did Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly...So what's your point? You don't like Sabbath? Fine. However although these bands might have had the odd heavy tracks there was no-one else doing albums like Paranoid in 1970 or Master Of Reality in 1971. No-one!!
"I used to read Kerrang and Metal Hammer back in 1993 and 94. Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC were always on it as these mag's favorite."
Do NOT get me started on Ozzy Osbourne. I can't think of anyone as far removed from Sabbath as Ozzy Osbourne in 93/94! Kerrang f***ing HATED Sabbath from the start of the mag until the Reunion in '97 or when they found some twat Kerrang bands liked them.
"I know they hated Iron Maiden because I got into Maiden in 95 with Blaze Bayley's X-Factor. I saw them on TOTP. I was like I must get their stuff and hooked. No one were into them at that time even people who were into metal at my school."
Mmmmm - so how come when I saw them on the X Factour it was sold out?? Of course Kerrappp!! didn't like them - until Bruce came back and until Sum 41 and all that shite said they liked them. Just the same as with Sabbath!
"Iron Maiden are not very relevant band now are they? Virtual 11, Brave New World and this new Dance Of Death just doesn't do anything for me. I felt like wasted my money."
I can't for the life of me understand someone getting into Maiden through X Factor and not liking Virtual XI and Brave New World. (BTW I love them all!)
"I have AC/DC Ball Breaker album it was not really my thing and I don't even consider them as heavy-metal band."
I know I'll get flak for this - but AC/DC are shit!
"I'm more of Deep Purple/ Uriah Heep hippie metal guy. And UFO and Rainbow. I like ELP, King Crimson and Gentle Giant and stuff."
Surprisingly you know our tastes are not that different. Only ones I don't like on there are King Crimson.
johnhall said:Me and Tone r gonna come down to Sussex and beat you with our SGs! Serious though "boring" is what YOU perceive to be boring. To me the most boring band ever is AC/DC 'cause they're all more samey than Status Quo, whereas I can listen to Master of Reality for the millionth time and not find it boring!
god_king said:I don't mind Black Sabbath but why they are seen as cool, better and popular than Deep Purple. What's wrong with Fire Ball, Machine Head or In Rock. Purple kicks Sabbath ass. Blackmore = King.
Ozzy - He's just plain stupid making people laugh. That's what good about him. Communicating with the audience.
And come on Sabbath was really bit messed up in the 80's. Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, Dio, Rob Halford etc. Singers come and went and making poor music.
Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osborne bands music are generally not very fast slow doomy and it's not quite my style, I want more speed. That's all.
Heaven & Hell is killer though.
Where are you from? North East? I'm born Londoner and currently bread in London.
Sure our music taste are not so different and I'm half your age dude. I'm too mature.
