Fun Stuff > BAND
Bands that are cool to hate
a pack of wolves:
Only the really early Black Flag stuff had the punk sound. By Damaged they had very much a hardcore sound and approach, and it was nothing to do with Rollins being a musclehead. They were just playing that music, plain and simple. As for Fugazi, you don't get any more hardcore than Ian Mackaye. The man was in Minor Threat after all. It wasn't called 'hardcore' to try to sound tough or anything (at least, not by most people) but because a lot of people wanted to move away from what they saw as the more superficial concerns of punk, where it seemed like it was becoming style over content.
Eww, Skibas, don't mention those bad haircut metal bands. I had to work a gig a little while ago where the first two bands ripped out some good, old-fashioned, fun thrashy hardcore and then I had to sit through two bands with jeans so tight they must surely have had no genitalia and hair that probably cost more than my entire outfit. And I don't even want to think about the music... urgh.
Robbo:
Please dont call those sort of bands Metal, because they're not. I know you probably dont mean it in that way, but still.
Hey, least most Hardcore is better than Metalcore. Because it's a VERY fine art to make decent Metalcore.
a pack of wolves:
I kind of love that argument between metalheads and hardcore kids. "You're responsible! No, you are!" No-one wants to think their scene is to be blamed for those bands!
You're right about metalcore. When it's pulled off well like Fall Silent, Thirty Seconds Until Armageddon or Converge it's great, but most of the time... oh dear me no.
Robbo:
Lol, you're very right man, it literally is like that. Hmmmm, to me and lots of others, those bands are not Metalcore. More Metallic Hardcore, mean like Hardcore but with a Metal influence...rather than a Metal/Hardcore cross-breed.
Metalcore is more Shadows Fall, etc style stuff.
