Title: Rules of metal
Post by: Bastardous Bassist on 24 Feb 2006, 16:46
We've got rules for a number of different types of metal:
Rules of Prog Metal (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=18)
Rules of Black Metal (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=9)
Rules Nu Metal (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=19)
Rules of Doom Metal (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=20)
Rules of Power Metal (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=24) and, of course, the sequel (http://www.metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=27)

Enjoy.

57. All logos must include illegible writing and at least one inverted cross and/or pentagram. This is non-negotiable

Hail!

From the doom list:
Quote
41. If you are Doom, you are probably from Finland or Yorkshire.
42. Even if you're not Doom, if you're from Finland, you're probably still a miserable bastard.
57. Most importantly, and I can't stress this enough: Be from Finland!
98. Finland, Finland, Finland, the country where I want to be, pony trekking or camping, or just watching TV. Finland, Finland, Finland, it's the country for me!


Also, the Thergothon bits made me chuckle a bit.

12. Own every side-project a member of Dream Theater has been involved in. Listen to approximately none of them regularly.



FTW


I read these a while ago. They win.

These are hilarious because many of them are so very, very true. Especially the prog metal ones. Try telling a Fates Warning fan you like Awaken the Guardian. They get so angry, it's really funny.

87. If possible, design the title of your album so that it consists of three completely unrelated words. Dimmu Borgir are the master of this (i.e. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Godless Savage Garden) but you may also want to refer to Immortal's "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism".


Hahaha, these are great.

On 'nu-metal': 11. No guitar solos.

Hm. I'm pretty sure Slipknot and Disturbed do those now.

131. Life is like a chocolate box, some do without, others have plenty. It sticks in my throat, my stomach's in knots, while your box is so full, mine's perpetually empty


This totally wins.

4. When conducting interviews always say the words "@#%$", "fag", and "@#%$".


What the hell? Why are all the normal curse words on this site censored but their cool with using the word fag which could actually be considered offensive.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I had the misfortune of hearing a Slipknot song with a 'solo' in it. It was the most laughably pathetic thing I'd heard in a long time.

Hey, at least it's not as bad as Kerry King's "Oh my God!  What's happening with my hands!?" solos.  Though, I guess they're hilariously stupid, and Slayer acceptable enough to balance it out (though, I saw them live, and it was the most godawful experience, ever.  Even my friends who were huge Slayer fans thought it was horrible).

Holy crap, I've finally found somebody else that shares my hate of Kerry King.

Anyway, I just read the second power metal one:

13. Gettysburg was not a magical kingdom. Shame on you, Jon Schaffer!
74. The band that slays together, stays together. Unless you slay each other. But that’s OK, because Varg doesn’t play power metal.

Hilarious, although I'd appreciate a couple for thrash and death.

I haven't read all of these.

Quote

24. If you can’t be Michael Kiske, you can at least be Timo Tolkki.
25. Actually, don’t be Timo Tolkki.


It's sad that that had me almost literally roffling.

That one bought fucking JOY to my HEART.

(Just so everyone else knows, it's a quote from 'Inequality Street' by Skyclad. Making Skyclad based jokes is teh awesome. I remember, for example, a pretty meh metal webcomic I read all of simply because they used a Skyclad song title as the caption for one of their early comics.)

You're not alone my friend those fucking solo's are the one single reason I hate Slayer. I dont care what the rest of the song sounds like, once those solo's come in I have to shut it off before I set my house on fire or something.

You should hear Disturbed's. Hello Mr. Scale Excercise.

I've seen all of those posted lots of times on metal forums.

One doom forum I go to has like two official additions to the doom rules.
 
People's obsessiveness can be hilarious, especially when you see too much of yourself in it.

Don't tell anyone, but I got these from my stint on the Metallica forums, which was long, long ago.

Mettalica?!?  Don't worry you dirty secret is safe with me...

I haven't been to regular metal forums in a long long time...too many silly meatheads...but then most forums are bad that way.

I've never been on a proper metal forum. Probably because yeah, generally metelheads can be fucking retarded.

You have to be retarded to listen to a bunch of people screaming with distorted guitars.
