Modern Metal is horrible!

For {censored}s sake, if you don't like it, don't {censored}ing listen to it. It's still music, even if it isn't pleasing to your ears. When some of the forumites around here post doom or sludge, I don't like it...and I certainly don't understand how anyone can sit and listen to that, but I keep my {censored}ing mouth shut because they DO like it and it's a completely subjective thing.


Is it so hard to understand that what you consider "music" some people consider complete garbage? I'm sure there is plenty of music in your collection that I wouldn't be able to stand 30 seconds of...but if you like it, good for you!!!


Why did you even need to start this thread? Are you really that put out by other people's taste in music? {censored} me...this thread is just another reminder of why I support post-birth abortion facepalm.gif

But I try and listen to modern heavy metal. I can appreciate the musicianship but I have to disagree with my former professor. I just don't get it. Its musical garbage! And that's not to say every single band is bad. I'm sure some of the bands are good, but I just don't understand the low tunings that all sound the same- what guys on the forums call BROOTALZ or DJent. To me, it sounds like a bad imitation of pantera that should have died long ago. How many times can you hit the low strings dude?


and the singers. WTF?????? yes, doing good gutteral vocals isn't easy. I understand, but growling like a pissed off doberman isn't music! Killswitch engage almost has it right and adds actual singing. Holy cow, what a concept!


I like the drummers. I think the double bass sounds really cool. I'd like to see more jazz drummers incorporate blast beats into their drumlines.


And where are the horns? why is it all so generic? What gives? The music just isn't music.


and no, this thread isn't a troll. I just hate the majority of modern metal I hear. Its refreshing to hear a modern band like Steel Panther or Firewind. Guys who are actually musical.
