Metal Bands You Hate

[Dixie]

*waits for the phil anselmo is gay poll with one finger on the mouse*

[CastroMotorOil]

will people quit it with the fucking phil is gay shit, it ruined the old boards, don't start it again here. jesus christ people like different kinds of fucking metal. No one here has ever given an adequete explanation as to why phil and pantera suck so much. All i ever here is "yeah he is gay" or "Pantera sucks" never any real criticism or any good reasons.

[EatTheChildren]

I hate:

Nu-Metal
Metallica
Dying Fetus (even if the name is hilarious)
Cannibal Corpse
Cradle of Filth (the guy sounds like a leprechaun)

I love:

In Flames
Children of Bodom
Type O Negative (I never considered them real metal, but they were mentioned earlier)
Faith No More
Minibosses (geek metal!)
Opeth
Megadeth


I'm not too into death metal for this reason: the growling is too much. Yes, some of the bands I've mentioned have the growl... but the other aspects of it are so good that I don't care. I hate it when the music is just a bunch of overly distorted chords and growls. Sometimes I don't even know if those bands write lyrics... it seems like they could just do random noises and it'd sound the same.

[Queefer Sutherland]

Kind of a vague declaration. Either you're saying you simply hate harsher punk, or you're saying that all metal has to have lots of chords in it...not to start a brawl, but I just don't get it.

[EatTheChildren]

Yeah, it is vague. I get what you're saying. I don't know much about these new metal sub-genres, though... I have no idea what you actually call what I'm trying to describe. I think it might be grindcore... I think. I'm talking about bands like Dying Fetus.

When it comes to metal as a scene I have no clue whats going on.

[CastroMotorOil]

I can see where you are coming from eat, i sometimes get confused with all of the subgenres myself. the hardcore growling stuff is fun but i like for there to be SOME message behind the music. a LOT of bands do that but it seems like every "nu-metal" band says nothing and tries to act like KoRn but "heavier" when the singer grew up in suburban america and never had any problems.

[Ninjavenom]

haha


Watch Cannibal Corpse's "Sentenced To Burn" video all the way through, Eat. You'll see why people like them. It's okay though, the band sounds better with Corpsegrinder, so if you heard Barnes, chances are they'll be dead to you. :/

[Helm]

I like both of them :O. But then again I listen to Demilich, so there's no such thing as too deep a growl for me.

[EatTheChildren]

the singer grew up in suburban america and never had any problems

You're referring to whine-metal. I HATE whine-metal. When someone is 25 and still whining about his/her teenage years they're pathetic.

Watch Cannibal Corpse's "Sentenced To Burn" video all the way through, Eat. You'll see why people like them.

Think I could find it on Kazaa? Hopefully is is gorey.

Although I don't like to listen to growling, it sure is fun to do. I've got a pretty good death growl for a girl.. ha.

[Skulhedface]

Try being a tiny white guy with a deep, Barry White-ish voice, a la Dax Riggs of Acid Bath.

I can pull off the best of the tiny guy with huge growls :D

[Ninjavenom]

Aye, you'll find it on kazaa. It's not really gory, (try Ogrish for that), but the video itself is really nice, and the song kicks ass. Once you hear the long "Sentenced... To.... BUUUURRRRN, you'll know you made the right choice.

[EatTheChildren]

That website is pretty crazy, but none of the gore really gets to me. That disturbs me more than the pictures themselves.

[Ninjavenom]

Seen the videos? :o

[EatTheChildren]

HAHAHA! The first one is HILARIOUS.

edit: I watched that video. I can see why people like Cannibal Corpse now... but I still don't. I did like the bass player's hands, though...

[VinceZeb]

Deicide... talk about a guy who takes himself way too seriously. He makes Manson look meek.

[Grazzt]

Cradle of Filth are dumb.

[Queefer Sutherland]

Yeah, Glen Benton does take himself seriously, but they DID make some decent music, especially Legion. I think saying he makes Manson look tame is a bit harsh; Benton at least isn't a fuck puppet of the LaVeyan CoS, and in interviews he expresses that he damn well knows what a sham they are.

[UnDeath]

LaVeyans are funny. Kinda defeats the purpose of the CoS if you take one's words as dogma. Taking advice and giving credit where its due is one thing, but blind faith is another. Ah well, CoB all the way, since the smaller the group, the more likely you're in a group of similar minded people.

Back on track, Slipknot and Disturbed and just about any other nu metal band is quite hateworthy.

[CastroMotorOil]

i have never had a problem with disturbed, great live show and decent music, there are a lot of bands out there with a fraction of disturbed's talent. I also really really hate chevelle.

[Skulhedface]

Speaking as a guitar player, the only thing not to hate about nu-metal at ALL is that if you know how to play by ear, then all you hafta to is listen to this shit once and you know how to play it. There is a certain satisfaction in knowing you can learn yet another song... but I guess that's ruined by the fact that all you've learned was a shitty song.

But I can still play the Tetris theme

[UnDeath]

Disturbed would be ok if they werent considered the "heavy" side of the MTV culture. That and if they had more talent. I can play the guitar parts on a few of their songs, and Im a fucking drummer... And the vocals leave something to be desired. PSH! what the hell am I saying?! Why write lyrics when you can just make animal noises into a mic half the damn time!?

[FlakTrooper]

Works for anal cunt

[CastroMotorOil]

or many other bands of the super heavy grind genre :/

That said...
Grindcore is one thing, its meant to be fast and barely understandable. Disturbed is a lot cleaner and slower, which means that they arent hiding how much they suck. That, and I dont like Grindcore all that much, most of it sounds the same to me.

[Biledriver]

Minibosses rock!

I do hate all this new metal that's out right now. Well not so much hate the band, but hate the way all the kids dub it "The heaviest and most brutal metal ever" And when I tell people I'm into metal they automatically think of Slipknot and all that other crap.

On the Slayer issue I dont like nor dislike them. I just find them overatted and y'allways come across some "more metal than thou" goit who will argue for hours that Slayer are the best band on earth.
