Sorry to burst your bubble again. I almost also put Bruce's album The Chemical Wedding on there too. Seriously, what's wrong with the Maiden? And then you like, follow it up with Master of Puppets? what the fuck is up with that?
Iwan:
I really DO NOT like Iron Maiden.
It's just that I can't take Iron Maiden and more specificly Dickinson seriously. Many people think the world of him as a singer. Whenever I hear him, I hear operette-esque singing lines (which I don't like) and whenever I see him, I see a guy doing something that appoaches a grand écart in the wrong direction.
I'll admit that Maiden and I got off at the wrong foot; I gave them a try when 'The X-Factor' was just released. Not. A. Good. Idea.
However, to end with a nice thing about Maiden; I really liked it that Bruce spoke his mind about Ozzy, Sharon's docu-soap and the American audience instead of rechewing and spitting out the same old crap about love, respect and admiration.
I really like 'Master of Puppets'. It has nothing to do with Maiden so, who ever suggests that I'm contradicting myself can go contradict himself.
'MoP' is just a very complete album; apart from the fast and venomous riffs, it has also some very clever softer parts (listen to it trough your headphones if you don't believe me). The softer parts are the reasons why I like 'MoP' better then '...And Justice for All'.
Once again, Metallica and Iron Maiden are two completely different bands.
Besides, just because I'm into metal (deep down I'm still a headbanger) doesn't mean that I have to like every bit of metal that's out there for sale or download.
I don't like Immortal or Maiden.
I've never checked out Judas Priest properly,
I don't think much of Anthrax,
I think Yngwie Malmsteen is a wanker who can't tell his penis from his guitar (which would explain a lot).
The pose around Manowar's music ('true metal!' 'Fakes shall die!') makes me want to go out and buy 'Yellow brick road' by Elton John.
And the whole 'We'll miss you, Dimebag, let's do a tribute'-thing makes me want to vomit. The fuckers who are all about love&respect now were the assholes who wished that Darrel would OD 5 to 10 years ago.
On the other hand, I recently rediscovered Type O Negative,
'Rust in peace' was the first metal album I purchased and it still finds a way to my CD-player,
Sepultura with Max is still awesome,
I can still appreciate a nice old school death metal album
and Trey Azagtoth plays some badass maniac solos.
So there are lots of thing that I like on Planet Metal but also lots of stuff that I really don't like. It's just that a lot of the things I don't like are heavily appreciated. And the current stae of metal isn't quite my cup of tea.
But that's just me. You really don't have to agree.
Kai:
I'm just going to respond to it in order because it's easier for me that way. :D
Not to say that Master of Puppets is a bad album, I just find it suprising that someone would like one and abhor the other. It's odd. I guess I can see the reasoning behind it. And that thing with Ozzy/Sharon? totally wins.
I'm not superbly keen on Immortal either. Anthrax.. I really do like, but most of that is a nostalgic thing. Yngwie I don't like. At all. Period. (You can play 80 notes in a second? Good, let's write a SONG now). Manowar are just so cheesy and elitist it hurts. The whole Dimebag thing bugged the shit out of me. Seriously, nobody was paying attention to DImebag since Pantera anyways. I mean, I'm not condoning shooting the guy, but I'm a little iffy on Pantera.
Type O Negative, Megadeth, Sepultra are amazing.
TrueNeutral:
When I first heard them, I thought Manowar was a parody of fantasy metal and stuff. I thought it was pretty funny. Then I found out they were serious. Now I think it's hilarious.
I think the thing is that I don't really care about vocalists. I can listen to any vocalist except for black or death metal vocalists and not give a shit. (Don't give me that 'you just gotta get used to it' crap, I've tried to get into it countless times. I just don't like it.) Bruce Dickinson can be ridiculous sometimes, but hey, so can Hetfield.
Kai:
Yeah, Manowar are pretty hilarious.
On the death/black metal growls: I originally hated them. completely, and I just couldn't listen to the music at all. Then about a year after that it just kinda clicked. I have no idea why.
