Where the Metal Heads at?

Yes and vegetarians think their elite too:rolleyes:
They have to literally explain their case just as you have and attempt to claim moral highground to justify their shit argument
"But im with a band of a friend of friend who once slept with an AC DC groupie and that band made a #74 hit single in australia....so what im trying to say is...im kind of a big deal"
Shit taste is shit taste. Cuz you been doing it a while doesnt change things

And there are the old timers who have to literally make the argument that “their” metal is the “real” metal.

They play Metallica on mainstream radio. It literally is the Justin Beiber of metal. End of story.

Times have changed. Like you i remember when Metallica was deemed too aggressive for radio. Seems ridiculous now for so many reasons. There indeed once was a time when you could flip on the radio back in the cassette days and pearl jam would be the heaviest thing available. A clear channel company used to run mandatory metallica. Usually on mondays. Usually sandman er some other late 80s early 90s pick off one of their albums. No one was doing it then. This was also late 80s early 90s ish. That how the vast majority got exposure to metal. Unless you were part of the underground scene and cassettes got passed around it find its way to you. I use them because their such a great example. They were and still are the only band to ever go platinum w/o ANY radio play. Thats fucking metal man. Because hey! All of a sudden a great amount of ppl took interest in a band or sound that was previously not known to them doesnt make them anything less than just a great fucking metal band that suddenly had mass exposure. Which you and i know is a big decider for alot of metal fans. They just have to be seen as different. Period. End of story. Its not even about the music. So many migrated away.

I remember sitting with my best fucking friend on his roof outside his window at his parents house drinking beer we managed to have some one buy for our underage asses getting out metal fix on every fuckin monday. That was the only place youd get it those days. Especially for smaller towns with little big city influence. We knew we fuckin liked it!

Now days rap and pop in alot of ways has moved the threshold for shock and awe. So things are more tolerable now days. Media for these things have gotten so much more accepting. It really is crazy how much things have changed. I disntinctly remember seeing girls and blonde hair blue eyed boys who otherwise wouldnt of been interested in such music taking interest. Even if its just a casual way. I remember saying to myself...wtf? You like...metallica? What a strange thing.
 
The nostalgic value of Metallica is real with me. It was far heavier and LIGHT YEARS AHEAD of anything else at that time. I remember buying Metallica's first album "Kill em all" , go listen to that song whiplash, everyone else at that time was left in the fucking dust!!! Nobody could compete, not anthrax, not Megadeth, and sorry but not even Slayer. Metallica was part of the big 4 but really #1 of the big 4

Metallica was faster. Thanks alot to Hetfield and his rhythm. Slayer has always been heavier tho. Shit they were talking about killing ppl and writing songs about josef mengele and the angle of death haha. Pantera was kinda like the dark horse. They were really really heavy. Patented the melodic power groove. But all 4 of those bands were so influential. And birthed EVERYTHING that we listen to or DONT listen to today

As someone who used to literally live in a music studio, who has played drums across NYS, was the MAIN act in a major music festival, opened for signed MAJOR metal bands, and who was asked to join a band signed to a record label who toured across Germany... I can appreciate the extreme technicality and the limit which is pushed by some of these musicians today which "break" the old school mentality of what Metal is. Their technical musical abilities are quite stunning when you can see the complexity of the work they do on their instruments.

To some, it is too extreme to understand. To the casual listener of technical metal or someone who is not a musician themselves, I can understand them feeling lost in the "noise" as the technicality of it all sometimes overwhelms those who don't have a trained ear for the "chaos."

I for one literally feel vomit come up my throat whenever I hear anyone claim Metalica or Pantera sound good. Reminds me of a nursery rhyme with how dull, boring and predictable it all is. And yes, I have actually PLAYED music than most have "listened" to...

I'm a musician too :). Been playing drumset for over 16 years, produced 4 albums, been a part of a dozen bands, toured the country, etc. I play mainly progressive and technical death metal because it is the most challenging both in its technical skill level and pure speed and endurance. I'd post up videos and Bandcamp pages but it would give away my identity ;). I was just having a little fun with gr8whitetrukker. Truth is, the poor guy has the musical Intelligence of a potato like everyone else who doesn't play an instrument well lol. Either way, we are all bound by our love for metal, let's not forget!

You sound like how I used to be. I haven't played in a while though. Having a child with a groupie changed everything about 10 years ago.... Even though I don't play any longer all I listen to is extreme metal because I know how challenging it is to play imagining the technical drum fills being performed.

I used to live on the Derek Roddy forums. Ohhhh the hours spent grinding away doing blast beats and double bass to a metronome. John Longstreth from Origin broke my gravity blast cherry the first time I heard them. After learning that technique it's always fun to see it literally amaze and confuse most people watching you play.

Also - metalheads infighting is inevitable but also totally gay

Metal comes in so many flavors - could you imagine this shit going down in any other context?

"I love this pumpkin spice coffee"
"Pumpkin spice is mainstream faggotry, espresso is the only TRVE coffee flavor"
"Ehh I prefer colombian, and it's arguably the origin"
"You're a faggot if you drink that mountain-bean bullshit"
"Cafe Bustelo has been on a roll lately but it all sorta tastes the same"

Metallica was the best, but they completely sold out after Justice. It’s sad. It was the downfall of their music but rise to fame and fortune. That’s what happens.

Still don’t know how I feel about the Mustaine situation. He was fucked over in a way but it’s over. Luckily Megadeth still kept their feel and sound mostly. Risk was pretty bad , but I liked all of their other albums for the most part. None of Megadeth can really compare to Metallica’s first four , though. Mustaine helped with a large part of kill em all and ride the lightening yet never given credit

They gave mustaine credit, just not to open about it. His name would be written down on the credits sections of things.

Also, I'm sure mustaine wrote a lot of it but in his book he was being so disengeous towards James and Cliff. He made it seem like they had no writing or playing capability. It honestly made him look like a butt hurt idiot. It's as if he totally forgot how Metallica released Ride the lighting(little mustaine work there) Master of puppets and in justice.

I love megadeth but def prefer Metallica overthem. I feel exactly the same way about Metallica too. After In justice it became less thrash and more arena metalish.
