Metal Sucks - And STAY OFF MY LAWN!

[cornographic]

Look @ these wicked awesome fireworks @ a Metal Show, so wicked awesome, dude!

 

[Red Dead Redemption]

What is your point -- that only metal bands use fireworks at their concerts?

[teachercd]

Remember when people thought the Beatles were a bad influence...and Elvis and his swaying hips!

What about those girl in the 20's that wore shorts!!!

I think the world would be a better place if all heavy metal were banned from the planet. JMHO.

Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one and some people seem to have an endless supply of ridiculous ones.

There are some positive sides to metal. For one, it's like getting a little slice of Hell while you are still alive and kicking on the Earth, so, with such exposure, maybe you will get back to the straight and narrow such that you don't end up in that place where Metal is playing 24/7 for Eternity--i.e., Hell.

 

Secondly, Metal is a great, nay necessary, part of any torture kit. Throw a guy in a small room with no windows. Feed one small bowl of rice and cup of water/day. Blast nonstop Metallica 24/7 as loud as possible for a week or so, combined with constant strobing white lights and screaming images of Metal's biggest fans: Skinheads. Stop torture, no more needed, the guy is toast.

 

Thirdly, Metal gives stupid, untalented people a "music" genre in which to express themselves with massive amplification and if they keep at it long enough maybe someday they will realize there are other instruments within the musical family of instruments(trumpets, saxophones, pianos, for e.g.) than just frenetic, screaming, blasting, distorted guitars and stupid, repetitive thunder rock back beats. Metal gives would-be below average musicians and genre in which they need only learn handful of the most basic chord progressions which they can repeat over and over endlessly and call each repetition a "new song".

 

Fourth, excellent choice for extremely rebellious adolescents--say ages 12-15--who want to grow up and be serial killers someday.

 

Fifth, Metal is good for war, seems to be the choice for "theme" music for those state sponsored pro killers.

 

That's about all the positives I can think of re: Metal.

Are you one of those dips$&ts that stand outside concerts with the signs about Satan and yells scripture?

 

Naw, not a Bible thumper, for one, and I wouldn't want to risk contracting a communicable disease from the meth heads in the crowd.

 

I have said this before about you and I will say it again. You are one odd dude.

 

I'm sure that gives you a sense of pride to say that.

 

But, that's right, I'm odd, Metal isn't odd. Marylin Manson is normal, great role model.

 

People said the same exact thing about Alice Cooper...the same Alice Cooper that also has a law degree and raises tons of money for charity.

 

I think what helps is realizing most of these guys/girls are playing a role or a part...

 

Good for him he gives to charity, but Alice Cooper is odd and his music and shows were odd. I could give a crap about his law degree. Mur'can mass culture has pretty much gone down the tubes in a big way, anyway, so whatevs. All the fantastic music and culture that actually is happening has FTMP been pushed "underground" or to the margins in the USA.

 

How is an old retired guy that spends most of his time with his family and/or golfing odd?

Wow...this thread went fast.

 

 

 

And, I actually felt bad that I almost derailed the thread.

Country music, which I love (as well as almost all other kinds of music), has plenty of rough themes, too.

 

Not many lyrics are more glorifying of a rebel/anti-social mentality than "shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die."

Well, it has all been downhill since then, so obviously those critics were right....

His music and shows were odd, so, I suspect somewhere inside his head, there is oddness, since he invented his music and shows. He maybe an odd old-ish dude as well, who knows. Anyway, AC is back when I was 15 or so, haven't thought much about him since.

Really, yo're comparing Beatles and Elvis to "Butchered Babies" and Marilyn Manson?

[ColoradoHusk]

Wow...this thread went fast.

 

 

 

And, I actually felt bad that I almost derailed the thread.

No kidding, can we go back to the original derailed part of this thread?

[BigRedBuster]

Question....what is the purpose of you coming in and destroying a thread by turning it into something it isn't? This thread had nothing to do with any particular genre of music. If your favorite cover tune is from the Three Tenors or Barry Manilo, nobody would care.

 

It's just a simple thread about cover tunes and you have to come in and make it a sh#t show.

[teachercd]

Here is a new thing you can try...if you don't like a certain band just don't listen to them. Also, stop yelling at clouds and turn your turn signal off.

Sorry sports fans, just can't resist bashing heavy Metal, especially when grown, college educated men listen to it. But in so doing, I violated my own cardinal rule, which is to never get into discussions re: music on a sports blog, so I apologize and won't let it happen again. Carry on butchering babies and what not.....

Uh, that's not your lawn. You didn't build that lawn. Someone built that lawn, but it wasn't you... right?
