THE MOSH PIT (metal section of this Fourm)

I'm not being stubborn. It just a plain fact that around 1996 almost everything started sounding like regurgitated pop music.

Okay man. I'd love to see some documented proof of these "facts."

I already mentioned a few shit bands that came around after 1996. You're just to stubborn to admit you're completely WORNG.

Although I do have to admit consumers are partailly to blame. If every one knew their asses from their elbows when it comes to music, bands like Self wouldn't be defunct.

Oh yeah, just remebered another one.... The Venga Boys.... And **shudders** Chumbawumba..... Chumbawumba was so bad it made Thor kill kittens. Fricken KITTENS! Don't you care about kittens?

Oh yeah, and pretty much the whole Rap Genre, it sucked beofre 1996, but after that it got worse. MUCH worse, at one point people added 'izzo' at the end of words randomly, seriously Rappers were doing that.

What you aren't understanding, is that I said music IN GENERAL. If you payed attention to that maybe you wouldn't of made me do a long post. Which by the way, as every one knows is something I try to avoid.

You naming off a few bands isn't documented proof at all. Just because you say a band sounds like regurgitated pop music doesn't make it so.

I believe it was "izzle" And maybe it's just me, but I don't think rap is too bad as long as a relative amount of intelligence is put into it (and the same thing can be said about most music). Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't good.

People will always be like "music stopped being good around [year]". Plenty of other people think YOUR music is shit. Complaining isn't going to change what YOU think is bad music, because it is obvious that YOU don't have a big effect on the recording industry. Music is, to a degree, about what is "good" and what is "not", but it is more about what sells- that's just how the world (how business) works.

I don't really care to look up and listen to every band that came about after '96 or '98 or whatever. I'm sure there are shitty ones, but there are also plenty of good ones.

I don't like Manowar that much

How can you not like Manowar? Seriously, it's bread and butter for Xanga trolls. BAD TROLL! BAD! NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I like Immortal (for the most part), but this picture is too fucking funny for words.



It's a little more than obvious as to why a lot of people don't take metal seriously.

I always rationalised it as most people are too fucking stupid to know what good music is.

I like "Rob Zombie, Slipknot, Mudvyne" and other various artist of this genre

I'd have to say that my favortite metal song would be Free Fall by In Flames from the Reroute to remain album, but my favorite metal band period would probably be Soilwork then In Flames at second.

Oh, and I didn't include the bands I didn't recognize, but a lot of them sound like shitty metalcore bands. You are a failure.

Rammstein's pretty awesome.

Die.

I included the bands I thought were fine. There are obviously better bands,  but they're not bad.

Rammstein's pretty awesome.

Rammstien is pretty gay and decidedly un-awesome. I used to listen to them when I was 14, then one day I grew up and realized how shitty they were.

I included the bands I thought were fine. There are obviously better bands,  but they're not bad.

You think Demon Burger is "not bad"? At least you didn't include Cradle of Filth. I heard one of their songs in my formative years and it almost turned me off to metal.

Jesus Hitler.....is the only one on this forum with some metal taste...

"Atreyu
Avenged Sevenfold,
Children of Bodem
Dimmu Borgir
Rammstein

I think you need this:

Nah, they're not bad. I mean, they've gone pretty mainstream, and there are tons of better bands out there in the same genre, but they're not awful.

JH is forgetting that the only use of Ramstien is to play their junk while you're playing RF2 or Unreal.

Not considered pure metal by most but...

Protest the Hero
Glassjaw
Lost Horizon
Dragonforce
Blind Guardian
He Is Legend
HORSE the Band
Strung Out
Fall of Troy
Avenged Sevenfold (old stuff)
A Wilhelm Scream
At The Drive In (more odd than metal, but still heavy)

I tend to listen to more punk and power metal than pure metal.

EHEM! What did you say about BG? BG is pure metal, it's classic! BAD! NEVER INSULT THEM AGAIN!

He... didn't?

I'm a rabid BG fan, remember.

There are like three ways to make me go crazy.
1. Insult Thor
2. Insult BG
3. Tell me that I knocked Amanda up.

Gay Thor sucks BG's tiny cock while Amanda breastfeeds BabyMannChu.
