Not heard anything by Edenbridge so not going to make any comment on how much they do or don't suck but just gotta say The Darkness rock they have taken all that was good in the 80's and dragged it kicking and (literally) screaming in to the new millenium. Long live The Darkness. :D :lol:

Well said, I don't see why all this operatic "Metal" is so popular all of a sudden.

Sounds shit to me, but then again I did go wearing a Nile t-shirt so I obviously was expecting to be dissapointed with Nightwish.

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 !!!
 
God_King = Troll

Don't waste your time, he just sent me a PM trying to cause murder, I just flamed him and sent him on his way.

He must just like argueing, he says he hates ManOwaR and KISS because they had gay members in them, can't see what his problem is, maybe he's in denial.

So I wouldn't bother taking any notice to him
 
He sounds like one of those weird elitist idiots. You know the type. They profess to only liking something obscure and cultish like "industrial fairy tale nimph dwarf thrash" because "nothing else is metal". They also tend to be the types that claim.."well I used to like them before EMI signed them" or "the first album (you know the one where only 200 copies were issued in the UK) was the best."
Metal is a subjective concept. Who cares about what genre a band fits in or how popular they are? If you like the stuff, you fucking like it. By trying to supress it you're just making a fucking mockery of yourself! Get a fucking life! People have different musical tastes...that guy seems to think he's some superior being because of the music he likes.
 
He sent another message to me saying that I ignorant and that I was a disgrace to Metal.

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

Calm down...Black Sabbath are boring. So what? They were influental, respect to them. They're still boring though.

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!

...and getting back to The Darkness...Can't see why people don't like 'em, it's AC/DC with Freddie Mercury on vocals.

Well sorry Black Lagoon. I mean cheers for the support but you've just given 2 big clues in the above statement as to why they're crap!!!!

"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.

I agree... AC/DC are boring too :tickled:

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.

Well now we know why you prefer Purple - you like your music faster. Fine - that's entirely your prerogative. I find this really funny cause Iommi and Blackmore are my 2 faves! Now let's have a look at your questions - why are Sabbath seen as cooler? (Well what matters is what you think - it's just that Sabbath influenced a whole lot more modern day metal bands than Purple did. They're heavier.) What's wrong with Machine Head or In Rock? (Absolutely nothing! They're in my top 10 all time. If you want to see my full top 25 look here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/listmania/list-browse/-/3VD1NEDA4F949/202-2145244-3851819)
What's wrong with Fireball? (Eeerrrr - Anyone's Daughter for starters!)
Ozzy - what's good about him is he used to be in Sabbath. Outside Sabbath he's a joke. As for Sabbath being messed up - err what about half of Burn or Stormbringer or Come Disgrace The Band, or House Of Blue Shite?
I think I can take it you don't like My Dying Bride or Cathedral!
I am from the North East. How come you know you're half my age?
