80s Metallica, 90s Alice in Chains or 00s System of a Down?

SOAD before they started using politics in every song

Sigh

Their first album cover is that of a WWII era anti-facism poster. They've always been an anti-religion band discussing politics.

Ill take 90's Bell Biv Devoe FTW

Panterrible is a disgrace to metal

LOL, your opinions on everything suck.

 

[LeaderOCola]

LOL, your opinions on everything suck.

yeh, I suck for pointing out a band that never met a trend they couldn't sell out to, that cemented the death of 'mainstream' thrash metal, that was the major impetus behind mallcore, etc...

you DO know they recorded these--- right?

you DO know they stole Exhorder's gimmick, right?



etc



you can keep these sellout wanks, and the posers they attract.

I'll stick to real metal without compromise, thanks.




BTW, I take it you aren't going to take back the outright lie you made about me in the other thread?
classy.

You act like those albums are a secret. As if any other band didn't have a bunch of shit recorded before being good. Stick to your "real metal", a bunch of bands that nobody's ever heard of, bands that you'll stop liking if somebody does ever hear of them, bands that grew up wanting to play like Dimebag Darrell.

yup, none at all
...
none at all....

AIC, from that lineup. I'd go even further back on the cutoff line for Metallica, to Kill 'Em All, which is balls-out nihilism (see 'whiplash'). Always liked AIC's vibe. That last band is ridiculous.

Next time, try Stormtroopers of Death ('Sargent D') vs. Helmet ('Unsung') vs. Lamb of God

Panterrible is a disgrace to metal

You bite your tongue. 40 million albums sold begs to differ. A disgrace to metal music would be something like Dragonforce, Sevendust, Godsmack, and A7X. Plus, this is way closer to groove/thrash metal, and real metal includes bands from Led Zep to Queen. Saying Pantera disgraces metal would be along the lines of saying Blink-182 is a disgrace to punk. I'm certainly not going to be comparing Blink to the Sex Pistols anytime soon.

They kept metal alive when Metallica cut their hair off, quit drinking, and became a bunch of pussies and they did so throughout the grunge and pop-music waves. That in itself, with how quickly America went from rock and roll to the Spice Girls, is extremely impressive.

album sales as a measure of quality? you better go listen to michael jackson and britney spears instead of pantera


REALLY
REALLY?



as for keeping metal alive? no, they kickstarted mallcore.

pantera can FOAD--- wait, they kind of already did.


no wonder you think calling a7x, godmack, etc metal makes sense. you don't even know what it is to begin with.


no mosh. no core. no trend. no fun.

I'm curious to know what you think of bands like Mastodon, Between The Buried and Me, All Shall Perish, As I Lay Dying, Despised Icon, Job For A Cowboy, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, A Life Once Lost, Baroness, Protest The Hero, High on Fire.

 

[threedog79]

So many sub-genres. Metal is metal.

no, it's not. if you like Cannibal Corpse you may or may not like Blind Guardian, and vice versa
hell, 50% of supposed 'metalheads' I know can't stomach 'harsh vocals'

When you go to the commissary, would you like it if meat, bread, soda, canned veggies, were all randomly arranged on 2 aisles? Of course you would... hey 'they're all food. food is food'

*rolls eyes*

You metal fans get so testy over genres... Seriously though, the main difference is tempo and effects. But hey, most BANDS within a genre sound different, so I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make. If metal is so homogeneous that you can be accurately be placed in such a rigid subgenre, I can't see why you're a fan.
