Help us kill heavy metal

Such as?

 

I think we understand eachother quite well, we don't agree because you view music you don't like as toxic waste (to your fav genre) and the KKK while I prefer to see the threats of 'bad' music (which is very relative) in the right proportions.

 

Bad music = dead genre = no more good music.

Percentage of bad music + percentage of good music = 100

If percentage of bad music rises, less good music.

 

if you want to give a year metal die then it would be in 82-83.
b4 all the gay hair metal. not saying that nothing good came after 83 of course.

 

90 percent of metal shitty? ok name sum shitty bands now?

 

metal is mainstream? maybe 15 years ago.

 

Over here it is.Everyone around these parts wears trivium, JFAC, and suicide silence shirts. Deathcore and Metalcore are pretty mainstream around here.

edit: I suppsoe mainstream is the wrong term as it implies it would be all over the radio and tv. It's what most people listen to around here and is what is popular at the moment. To the same extent nu-metal was in the 90's.

 

whats JFAC?
trivium fuck i admit i liked them for a minute but then they got gay the singer thinks his bruce dickinson and james hetfield. they think their the greatest band to come out to date.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vqSPbJzDa0

 

JFAC = Job for a cowboy

Trivium make me laugh. Seems like everytime they release a new album, there tryin to sound identical to whatever band their into at the time. Saw the mwith Bodom and Amon Amarth a few years back and it was such a shame AA was opening for them

 

dude same shit here in miami AMON had to open the show from what my friend tolled me???? the new COB album was very good I HATE are you dead yet!? it was horrible

 

To say that I hate heavy metal would imply that I don't appreciate heavy music.
Powerful distorted guitars in the hands of a wizard use to be the hallmark of heavy rock music.
Now, it seems to me the most important thing is to have a spastic drummer with double bass pedals and a vocalist puking razorblades. but I digress...

I began using the term " Bonehead metal" back in the late '70s to describe heavy rock bands that offered nothing in the way of progressing the art form we generically call " Hard Rock".

I have no problem joining your crusade.:cheers2:

Bonehead metal beware. With my mighty axe,(1978 SG Deluxe) I will cleave you foul vermin from stem to sternum!

So am wondering who you guys think are your "ideal" true metal band heres mines:
iced earth
blind guardian
demons and wizards
death
sonata arctica
judas priest
firewind
arch enemy
gamma ray
iron maiden of course
steve vai
megadeth
freedom call
dark throne
helloween
in flames
kalmah
norther
nightwish
nile
racer x

 

Sorry man, but I shit on the term true metal. But I agree it's mostly applied on the classic heavy metal and the power metal genre.

You're totally going wrong. There's always bad music, that doesn't mean good music is absence or that the genre it can be put in has to be dead. Nor does it implies that when there's more bad music good music is fading.

Why, it's just my (dis)taste. The 90% was just hypothetical by the way.

It seems to me metal hasn't been as mainstream as it is now.

 

IMO the early norwegian black metal scene was true. those guys saw metal as more than just music, it was a lifestyle. It was evil music which is what metal has always tried to encompass and they raised the standard.

 

I can see that. Metal doesn't get more true as black metal like Immortal or heavy metal like Manowar :cheers2:

 

Well, it aint dying in this country

 

metal will fuck you up

 

The solution is more people like Glen Benton.

 

bitch please......

 

I dont understand this thread at all- good metal? bad metal? true metal? poser metal?
fuck it. just listen to what YOU feel sounds good.
