You think you know Metal?

That takes a very, very long time.

*A.N.U.S: American Nihilist Underground Society. Not the bottoms.
The thing I object to is, if somebody had just come into the rap thread, for example, and said, without qualification 'ALL RAP SUX TOTAL BOTTOM'. Then it would have gone down totally differently. Plus, statements are being made that are definitively stupid. Metal is by no stretch of the imagination 'tame and glossy', and I have the County Medical Examiners albums to prove it.
ForteBass:
I'm not saying it's wrong to debate it. I'm just saying don't go bat-shit crazy over it. It just makes you look angry and screaming. And, yes, it is a two way street, indie kids.
happybirthdaygelatin:
Besides why hate on each other when we can pick on the those foolish hepcat jazz kids?
Robbo:
Hey, dont be dissing Jazz. Jazz is great...and had a few key influences on some of my favourate stuff.
a pack of wolves:
Crotchduster as dangerous and raw metal? Oh come on, they're just too silly. And... well they do get a bit tiresome after the first couple of listens. The words 'mammal sauce' just aren't that funny. The County Medical Examiners are mint though. Is it them or General Surgery who are all real doctors?
Dismissing any genre (well, apart from a fairly narrow sub-genre such as screamo) so easily based on a few songs is a bad idea. I like metal, but if I clicked on 30 random songs on Amazon I probably wouldn't hit on anything I liked.
