Music Guilty Pleasures
KharBevNor:
Yeah, but also, Metallica are by no means some sick nadir of Bay Area Thrash. They're a bit average, they rip off Mercyful Fate, yet they're still, for that, not that bad a band, with a few classic songs. This is just an example of that treatment. You are holding the early works of Metallica to a higher standard than you would hold something by a more obscure artist. They don't have to be the best in the genre to be listenable, for chrissakes.
@ Kai: the decline pretty much started on 'Cruelty And The Beast'. Some people write them off there, but I believe they're still pretty good up to as far as 'Bitter Suites to Succubi'. The chief thing to remember about Cradle of Filth, and the reason that they have always pissed off tr00 black metallers is because, at least since 1994, they have never made any attempt to be serious. They are deliberately over the top to the point of self-parody: fun music, in a word. Dani may sound, like my girlfriend puts it 'Like a chipmunk gone horrible wrong', but that's part of the appeal, not part of the repulsion. The fact that neither Cradles fans nor their detractors realise that they are [i[meant[/i] to be fundamentally silly is an amusing thing for me.
That said, the last two albums are horeshit, for differing reasons.
Storm Rider:
I never said early Metallica wasn't listenable. Disposable Heroes is still a super-awesome-great song.
Jedit:
--- Quote from: Kai ---Of course, it's apparently super cool to hate Pantera so fucking much that's it's ridiculous.

Listen up good, I got a lot to do
I know what I want, and I want to get screwed
I call 'em like I see 'em and don't play by the book
200 hair rock albums and I've never been f**ked
Not seen it, not done it, not heard it before
Can't even get action by paying a whore
Tried foreplay, tried washing, I've done all I can
But still like every single other Pantera fan I've
Prayed to be laid
Prayed to be laid
You know I've prayed...
Prayed to be laid
<cough>

While not metal, I can totally quote a different song:
Went to a party
I danced all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up a fight
But now I am jaded
You're out of luck
I'm rolling down the stairs
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk
To fuck
I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tires
Sounds like loads and loads of fun
But in my room
Wish you were dead
You ball like the baby
In Eraserhead
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
It's all I need right now
Too drunk to fuck
Doesn't change the fact that it's a bitchin ass song.
