Metalcore's such a joke. Just some hardcore bands who suddenly said "Let's all jump on the Gothenburg bandwagon!" The only decent one is The Black Dahlia Murder, and only because they retained almost nothing of their origins and just became a decent MDM band.

Oh, you mean except for all those bands that don't sound like they're from Gothenburg?
Christ, you people. Get a life.

Aw, that sucks. I'll miss the old "dun da da dun dada dun dadadaDA, dun da da dun da da dun dadadaDA".
As for my festivals this summer, I'm going to Warped Tour to see the Dropkick Murphys and the Dropkick Murphys alone. Everything else there sucks.

I've never been to an Ozzfest, and have no real interest what with the ever-growing ticket prices. But I am looking seriously at both of the other metal package tours this summer. Both Gigantour and Sounds of the Underground are going to be in the $30-35 range, and both have a handful of bands to hook me in. Gigantour has Dream Theater, Megadeth, and Dillinger Escape Plan, while Sounds has Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, and freakin' GWAR!

Wha? Name these bands, as I would probably call them Hardcore bands.
Hardcore bands are fine. I have nothing really against them. I just don't like it when they pick up a second guitarist and get plastered all over the front of Metal Hammer. Because, all these 'metalcore' guys are just another wave of bastards fucking up metal. You can get defensive about the music you love, then I can get defensive about the music I love. -core in general is fucking ruining the metal pseudo-mainstream as completely as nu metal did five years back.
In the words of Ministry:
STOP IT!
a pack of wolves:
All metalcore bands are hardcore bands. It's just another sub-genre like screamo, grindcore, powerviolence or youth crew. Hence the 'core' suffix. The various interpretations of genres seem to cause a lot of problems these days. Just look at the reaction you get when you tell someone you like emo, when most of those people have never heard more than maybe one or two at most actual emo bands.
