metal sucks

[bakerbaker]

no.
metal is genius.
and if you pay close attention,
it's developing a definite intellect.
both compositionally, and lyrically.
it's becoming alot more politically/ethically motivated.


even if you can't understand the words being spoken...
even if the lyrics are obscurly metaphorical, and don't make any direct statements (though sometimes they do)
you can still get a sense of meaning in between the lines.

disagree w/ me if you want,
but i think that in recent years, metal is becoming a beautiful reaction to repression.

rebel w/ a rebel yell.....hell yeah.

I just don't like how darn loud it is. Fucking kids with your music.

My brothers advice on listening to lighter music:
Turn up the volume.

i generally don't listen to metal at full throtle.
my ears would start bleeding.
actually, i don't listen to any music when its cranked...unless im in some god-awful bar scene,
but that's besides the point.

[BonerJoe]

and if you pay close attention

I can't. All I hear is yelling and distorted guitars.

[bakerbaker]

who gives a fuck...you've already defected.

I never joined to begin with.

Trying to tell people metal sucks is like arguing with statists.

[bakerbaker]

good point.  stop trying.


  our conviction is strong   

[sdubois92]

but Rush is REALLY good

[Taors]

but Rush is REALLY good

Rush was considered metal before they became progressive rock, right before they became classic rock.

[bakerbaker]

progressive metal.
