    What people need to realize about metal:

    Growling, grunting, grunting while inhaling, and senseless screaming do not sound good. It brings a level of complete shit to every single band that plays with those kinds of vocals. Fucking terrible.
    It can sound good. Jonathon Davis is my best example.
    Extremely heavy generic dropped guitar riffs with superfluous pinch harmonics are the same deal as the vocals.
    I agree with you here. Most metal bands lack originality to my ears and use the exact same techniques.
    "Singing" about death in the way that those bands do (see: cannibal corpse) is terrible. It demonstrates an utter lack of lyrical talent and effort. You want a great song about murder? Go listen to Nick Cave. Now there's a man who can write some fucking lyrics.
    It disgusts me, but I think that's the point.
    The only logical conclusion I can come to about how people can like this shit is that they haven't been exposed to good music. I know this because everyone I know who listens to said 'shit' has no idea who Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, etc etc... virtually ANY of the bands so many of us hold dear are. I've actually had people tell me they literally have never even heard of Bob Dylan.
    My best friend and bandmate loves Pearl Jam, AIC, Radiohead, Zeppelin, and really likes death metal.

    Watching their fans do the circle of death is pretty cool.

  • Pearl Jam fans hating on metal is hilarious. It is no different than a metal fan saying that Pearl Jam hasn't put out a good song since Ten came out. Just because you don't care for the genre or don't understand it doesn't automatically make it "shit"... I agree that metal is an acquired taste, just as PJ is to many.....

    correct.

    That's the guy from Korn right? He freaking sucks IMO. I've always thought his voice sounds like shit.

    His voice used to be good (he used to put real emotion into his lyrics too). Now he's pretty bad. And Korn sucks now too :(



    This reminds me of Metallica. James used to be a good singer....now........

    No disrespect but he never sounded good. I can't believe he's made it this far. I couldn't stand Korn or Limb Bizkit when they were real popular. I just saw that Korn did a unplugged show. Give me a break. Who the heck would buy that crap? Sorry I'm going off on music I really think is shit.

    One thing is true they sure made alot of money. But they never got a dime out of me. :)

    Oh God their Unplugged was a piece of shit. I hate Limp Bizkit, liked one song for the bassline "Just think about it" or whatever.

    At the very least it's a great album to listen to while driving. Then again I also suffer from a mild case of road rage. Can't understand half of what he says, but it definitely gets my adrenaline going :D

    the music def does something to people that's for sure. don't know if it's a release for people or just adds to their issues thou.
