Heavy Metal

Heavy metal sucks. So does death metal and all those other fucking idiot bands that just have a bunch of dumbasses moaning into a mic with a terrible combo of power chords and a stupid drum beat.

I just watched a video of a band called Cannibal Corpse and some other death metal band. Cannibal corpse were a bunch of idiots in costumes on a sand dune i think it was, and the death metal was a guy dressed like a fucking knight with fake blood all over him letting out one big deep moan for 3 minutes.

Fucking stupidest thing ever, how can you listen to that.

 

You obviously haven't listened to Megadeth, In Flames, or Manowar.

Megadeth (broke off from Metallica: Dave Mustaine wrote most of Metallicas early songs):

Cannibal Corpse don't wear costumes, lol! They just have long hair, thats all. Listen to Diabolic Intent, a great deathmetal band. Maybe try listening to some death doom metal, doom metal, power metal, black metal, gore grind, so on and so forth. Believe me, the underground has lots of good bands....but some of them do suck though. Look hard enough and you'll find your favorite genre or sub-genre.

Here's a good start for you. (Lich King) - a thrash metal band

Megadeth's def. still sticking to thrash as opposed to metallica.

 

Arguable

Most metal sucks I admit

But bands like metallica and Iron maiden have talent
Thats 80s metal and they have writting some of the most melodic and beautiful or just kick ass revolutionary music

Some bands like Children of Bodom I have much respect for
They don't just scream and moan and shit, they really have amazing talent and despite the screaming, it is really kick ass
The guitar work is very complex

They are death metal, prefer to be called just metal, but in my book are

/respect

But I agree most metal is shit, the songs and bands that aren't are amazing, much more creative then more alternative/rock bands out there

 

You obviously don't have an idea what metal is. You've probably been looking in the wrong place for metal or aren't really a metal fan at all. I can tell you from experience that there's lots of underrated and underground metal bands that are just fucking great. Just becuase a band, genre, or sub-genre didn't make it to the mainstream for everyone to notice it, doesn't make it crap. Look harder. People have to stop following everything they're shown and stop being sheep.

 

Like any other genre there is those that give a bad name to it and those in the underground that never make it to the surface to show people what its all about. Cannibal Corpse is one of the sadly more mainstream bands as is the horrible Cradle of Filth. If you like some good metal DiamondHead is a good place to start as is Angel Witch. These bands names are non-existant in anyones heads that were not deeply into metal. They are more lighter with easier listenring chords but still keep up the metal pace. After this you may want to start getting into bands like (as said before) Metallica and Megadeth which have the influence of the aformentioned bands but have a faster, deeper feel. After this you can really start to get into the genre and enjoy it.
So through all this don't make judgements based on one band. This would be like saying rock and roll or psychedelic rock is bad due to so and so artist, with the person only basing their decision on one band. Open your mind my friend.

 

That's some decent nwobhm, bro.

 

The thread name was misleading, I didn't really mean heavy metal, I didn't mean bands like metallica, I meant more satanic death metal bands with no talent.

 

I must admit some bands do suck, but you just got to get your metal straight.

 

Crazy kids and their lack of understanding beauty.....

Most death metal bands with the crazy videos and gory themes are meant to be ridiculously over the top. Doesn't matter how stupid you think it is, a lot of people think the themes are funny/bad ass.

Couple notes here:
1. Cannibal Corpse has some VERY technical guitar solos so that whole "no talent" thing doesn't fly toots.

2. "terrible combo of power chords and a stupid drum beat" = Metallica in a sentence.

I would write more but I'm so very sick of dealing with this argument.

 

People who say that Metal sucks because of Cannibal Corpse, or people who defend Metal with such bands as Metallica and Megadeath are idiots.

Metal is one of the most diverse genres in modern music. There's doom, black, death, grindcore, drone, heavy, symphonic, thrash, stoner, experimental, goth, hardcore, industrial, noise, sludge, viking, instrumental and so many other kinds of metal out there.

Honestly, think before you post.

 

Heavy Metal/Metal/Black Metal/Death Metal whatever

Its all way to fast for me.

I'm a Led Zep/Deep Purple kinda guy.

The heaviest album I have on here is Judas Priests 'Ram it Down'

 

i love metal but death metal ruins it when they start to sing it just gets in the way of their good music cause that growlin just ruins it cause it sounds the same and its over and over.

 

If you actually LISTEN to the music you realize the vocals in a lot of bands are not really that hard to understand. Most people just toss it aside as trash as soon as the vocals come in when it just needs to be viewed as another form of expression.

If you doubt this, listen to an Opeth song...Mikael Akderfeldt has a very understandable growl and his music is some of the most beautifully composed metal to date. If anyone actually does decide to try this, go into it with an open mind and LISTEN. His voice is just another instrument if you can get past the "I haz 2 undrstan it 4it 2b musik" block that most people suffer from.

 

Obviously, it is a diverse genre.

Why can't I defend Metal with Megadeth and Metallica? They're both great bands.

Lyric wise: Brilliant
Music/Talent wise: Brilliant

 

Sorry to say this, but you sound a little closed-minded on music. Lots of music and bands you're missing out on.

 

there is absolutely nothing wrong with metal of all types...i enjoy metal just as much as any psychedelic band. if one cannot respect the sound of a band then perhaps they can appreciate the lyrics...

 

what about melodic death metal? its not just screaming and moans with stupid drum beats and power chords.

and I love metal. you just gotta listen to the right bands. but to come out and say they are fucking idiots is close minded.

 

MiNdTrIp there is no such thing, that is black metal which is good.
