you're gay punk music.

does anyone else think that metallica's Death Magnetic veered dangerously close to being complete crap?

I've been drinking too much for this shit.

No, it was complete crap.

In fact all metallica after the 80's is complete crap.

And in my personal opinion, even in the 80's they were crap.

Well I haven't listened to "all" of it, but enough of it.

And that's because I didn't actually read the post, I just skipped over it assuming those were names of the other megadeth albums because that's what we were talking about.

Anyways, only trend followers think Death Magnetic is crap.

You could say something similar.

"Only trend followers hate Dragonforce" (Same thing if you replace hate with love)
"Only trend followers think metalcore sucks"
"Only trend followers think Keepers of the seven keys was a masterpiece"
"Only trend followers think Dream Theater are talented"
etc.
etc.

Get where i'm heading?

At 8/16/09 11:08 PM, greensucksbluerules wrote: What songs have you heard then?

I own all four of there 80's albums. (Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All)

I mean, I haven't listened to any of there bonus tracks or anything.

Personally, those albums are all decent but highly overrated. Everything i've heard of 90's and 2000's metallica sucks ass.

Metallica seems to currently be the band that everyone loves to hate. The haters are going to hate anything new the band puts out no matter how good it might be
Metallica pissed people off by selling out in the 90s and further angered people by suing Napster. It became trendy to hate them for a while.

While this is the case, I do not hate them for sewing Napster because I utterly hate all downloading of music.

And besides, I always hated the members of metallica even back in the 80's.

were you even alive in the eighties and old enough to form an opinion?

Anybody here listen to Aborted? They're one of my favorite newer death metal bands, and they're all extremely talented.

I love Metallica, even all their shit albums.

just thought i'd throw that out there.

To all the guys arguing about Metallica, I think Ride the Lightning is one of the best albums ever.

In Flames is my favorite metal band.

To be honest, I like it more when the music is actually about something in real life, and not slaying dragons.

Lol you idiot, they fucking rule now. Fuck off and die \m/

And last poster, I admire the Misfits reference in the sig, but don't be a vocal wuss. They're so pathetic.

I'm listening to a song about vampires though, and it makes the song slightly cheesey.

Speaking of cheese and DT, I'm realling growing to like The Best of Times. Didn't expect that did ya's? I'm on a mission right now, I'm going to download a Frank Zappa album.

And ShiteMetal, downloading music FTWTWTWTWTW.

Shit I forgot to mention to important things:

I bought a mega cool deck today with viking art, and it carves righteously.

AND I'm high like a dog. I should go listen to that song High Like a Dog. I FUCKING LOVE BONGZILLA

Dream Theater - Constant Motion.
The song is like the cumshot of a dick with a Metallica tattoo on it. Fuck, that's a great idea.
I COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH!!!!!
.......... I CAN'T LET OFF I CAN'T LET GO!
......... FOREVER MORE, INTO THE NIGHT, BLISTERING!!!!!!!!!!
SEARCHING LEFT, SEARCHING RIGHT
HAVN'T GOT TIME TO WASTE!!!!
SCATTERED WASTELANDS SURROUNDING ME!!!!!!
APOCALYPTIC MIND DEBRI!!!!!!!!!

THIS SONG HAS SO MANY MEMORABLE LYRICS. FTWFTWFTW!!!!!!! \m/

MY WHEELS IN CONSTANT MOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That 4:00 minute mark riff is tasty as balls brothers. I've loved DT's last two albums, and Constant Motion isn't the best but it does not deserve all the hate. Where's the love guys.

WHERE IS THE MCLOVIN

Fabulous Disaster

Still need to get this one then.

And tempo of the damned? Isn't that there grunge album with A Good Day To Die on it or no?

Grunge? Nope, you're thinking of a different album. Tempo of the Damned was released in 2004. I'm not sure which album A Good Day to Die is on.

I would like to second this.

I can't form an opinion of the WWII because I wasn't alive?

The ending to Best of times is orgasmic, but other than that i'm finding that song to be sort of boring.

And ShiteMetal, downloading music FTWTWTWTWTW.

I beg to differ.

I was thinking of getting there grunge album, because A good day to die...even if it isn't thrash metal, is fucking great grunge.

Wow, this IS awesome! My expectations for the new album are even higher now.

Indeed, I doubt it'll be anywhere nearly as successful as Rust In Peace...but I hope it'll be just as good!

Metallica's best album? Yes. Best albums ever? No.

In Flames is my favorite metal band.

They were the first nonclean vocals band I listened to, they got me into melodic death metal and death metal.

Shame they are starting to suck now. :(

To be honest, I like it more when the music is actually about something in real life, and not slaying dragons.

Both is awesome.

I just got Burzum- Anthology from girlfreinds sister. Little did I know she likes Burzum.

Didn't we bring in some sort of policy about ignoring trolls?

I'm sure there was a memo.

Get out.

This is a perfect example of a douchebag in the eighth grade who thinks that he has a superior taste in shite metalcore and hard rock that isn't even close to real metal. Grow up and listen to decent metal bands, not the fucking third wave washed up corporized imitations, vacant cunt.

In before Charon (or maybe not this will be long :P):
Bloodstock was fucking amazing!
Fucking, fucking, fucking amazing!

If you're British you better be there next year!

Also Charon, I'm certain I was right behind you before Carcass, but I was too cowardly to ask if it was you :(.
If you were about 2/3/ people from the barrier, pretty much dead center and you left before they came on, then I may very well be right, and therefore also sorry.

Anyway, my reviews of bands I saw:

Friday
Insomnium:
I can't really remember, I don't like them anyhow and I all I can recall is that I didn't like them and thought they were boring.

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter:
I think its Ryan who always claims these are brilliant (or maybe his alt...), anyway, yeah, they were. I've not listened to any songs before but I was thoroughly impressed. The music was catchy, the show they put on was great and their keyboardist is a fucking gimp on a swing! Great stuff!

Municipal Waste:
MUNICIPAL WASTE ARE GONNA FUCK YOU UP!
MUNICIPAL WASTE ARE GONNA FUCK YOU UP!

And they did. It was brutal and painful and great fun. To be honest I don't know if I liked them for their music because I was just in the pits all the time, or being booted in the face by the abundance of crowd surfers (428 during Beer Pressure - broke the record I believe :)).
I wanted to buy a yellow Sadistic Magician shirt too but I was poor :(.

Sodom:
I didn't really enjoy these that much as I was just being lazy off to the side, but Agent Orange, Surfin' Bird and Saw is the Law were all good songs. I would of liked them better had I been in the crowd though.

Arch Enemy:
Snore!

Carcass:
... but seriously, Arch Enemy are crap! Why do people like them? They have moments in certain songs that are quite decent and then they go and spoil it all by saying something stupi... by running out of ideas and putting crap sections in that just don't fit and sound gay. Twice I've seen them now and twice I wanted to beat myself to sleep with a pillow.

Anyway, Carcass. They were good :). Good show, good set and good banter. They were a lot better than that description and really deserve an amazing, cause they were. But in terms of fun I think DAR and Municpal Waste were better, even if Carcass surpassed them musically.
Plus you can't sing along to Death Metal if you don't know the words and don't feel like a crowd growling poorly amoungst people.

Saturday
The Haunted:
They were better than the last time I saw them, but to be honest, I don't give a shit either way.

Entombed:
Like Sodom I didn't go into the pit for these so my lack of impressedness may be due to that, but I wasn't really bothered about them once they started. They were good, by all means. Just, you know, I didn't really feeeeeeel it... man!

Candlemass:
I wasn't expecting much from these, obviously I love them but I wasn't sure how Rob would handle the Messiah material. But he did it very well, and I was drunk and they played At the Gallows End and Samarithan (but no Bewitched :() and for all those reasons they were the second best band of the festival for me. It was just so epic shouting 'RING BROTHER! RING FOR ME! RING THE BELLS OF HOPE AND FAAITTTH!

Celesty (Acoustic Set):
I watched this cause I wanted to see them but they clashed with Kreator so fuck that :P. This was quite good though, they just played a load of Power Metal songs on an acoustic and was decent entertainment between bands on the mainstage.

Enslaved:
Caught a bit of their set after Celesty and I wasn't really listening, I was just dreaming about how good Candlemass were and how good Kreator were going to be.

Kreator:
Despite not really knowing that much of their set (stuff from EoG and PtK) I thought they were tits. Good shouty, headbanging fun, and again I was nice and drunk on cider :).

Celesty:
Caught a bit of their set after Kreator. I liked the album but I wasn't really bothered it being so soon after some Thrashin'.

Apocalyptica:
Don't care for them, but I don't have many complaints. The Metallica stuff sounded good and had I been further in the crowd it would of been good singing along with everyone. I thought a lot of it sounded very dissonant though, like the higher parts in songs just sounded screechy and bad. But apart from that, they were fine.

Blind Guardian:
Jizz everywhere!
It probably goes without saying but these were aaaaammmaaaazzzziiinnggg! The show was great, Hansi looks loads better with short hair and he was such a cool performer (albeit, totally lame too :P) and the singalongs were incredible. VALHALLA! DELIVERANCE! WHY HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ME!
Unfortunately I was in a section of the crowd who'd got to the barrier for Cradle of Filth so no one for a few people around me knew any of the stuff (and sucked at headbanging), really it doesn't matter cause I sang my heart out. But it would of been nice to had fellow mans in my direct vicinity. But when you're feet awat from Hansi that is inconsequential.
Tits, tits, tits, tits, tit :D.

Sunday
Sabaton:
Even not being near the thick of the crowd I enjoyed these just because I've only ever heard that 'POLISH HANDS!' song. So I'll be checking these out su'more.

Girlschool:
These bored the hell out of me.

Equilibrium:
And I don't like these (or didn't like Sagas at least - thought it was a boring album) but I'll concede that they were pretty good live. I still don't care for them but I'll at least give them that credit.

Turisas:
In terms of the show I didn't really care all that much (although jigging to Rasputin and Battle Metal with my friends was fun). But the whole getting facepainted up and just being twats and shouting shit in the campsite and the arena was fun as hell. I wasn't going to get painted up either, I was just going to be miserable but everyone else did so I thought 'Fuck it'. And I'm glad I did, was certainly a highlight :).

Amon Amarth:
Watched these from the bar at the back of the arena, so wasn't really paying attention. Didn't sound like my cup of tea though. So meeh.

Europe:
Same as with Amon, in that we watched from the bar (with Dani Filth's head on a stick nonetheless :D) as we didn't care about them at all, but the plan was to get up and sing when The Final Countdown came on. And sing we did and for that one moment Europe were fucking excellent. Besides that though, meh. Still, TFC is one hell of a song and it was worth it, and a lovely way to end a festival of music :).
