And rock isn't one of the core genres Metallica belongs to. If I wanted to quibble over genres I'd have included a paragraphs about it being trash metal and what that amounts to.

Metallica never made rock. They made metal and post grunge.

So you're judging Metallica on a cover? Never judge a band by it's cover. Err. You know what I mean. Covers are never good because people are used to the old one. Besides, Thin Lizzy destroyed the song themselves first.

My mp3 player is only half a gig. I always put a couple of albums on it. Anyway, on it right now are: Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics Deerhoof - The Runners Four The EElS - Daisies To The Galaxy Sonic Youth - Evol The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow Yeah, I was in a poppy mood.

Uh, WRONG! Metallica WAS the greatest METAL band of all time. Then they became 'just another post-grunge band' and then 'just another n

And what, pray tell, do atheists have to prove? I can see that, to prove a religion, one must prove that the deity exists. However, to prove atheism, you would have to prove that a deity doesn't exist. The problem herein lies in the fact that you cannot, and I stress this word, you CANNOT prove that something is a non-entity. There is nothing about atheism that you can prove, just things you can disprove. Even if nobody on earth believed in a religion, there would still not be any proof that atheism is true.

Mmm. Inane music, corporate sell-outs and ****-sucking. Smells Like Nirvana. EDIT: Another band I had neglected to mention - Arch Enemy FTW.

I just put on The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots album. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Let's hope that's not herpes.

Well, that's all well and good, but why does corporate **** need to be sucked all the time by making terrible music?

Well, naturally. According to every man and woman who worships 'tr00 m3t4l \m/:thumbsup:\m/' I have ever spoken with, Metalcore is the natural successor of N

I hate it when the voice of reason trumps a good discussion.

Fine. If I edit that post and turn 'every [insert group here]' into 'half the [insert group here]', will you be happy? Either way, it doesn't matter. Straying away from the actual discussion because of semantics is one tactic to save face that won't work here. Besides, what you say I'm guilty of is what you did to start this discussion, so you're basically pointing out the delicious irony and futility of your previous posts.

Pearl Jam - Nothingman Coincidence? Probably.

I don't know if you just ignored it so you could have an excuse to write another self-masturbatory reply or am just too oblivious to see it, but I did take it as a whole. As for your supposed... arguements... against what I said, I would like to present the fact that not all goths like poetry (my brother is a goth and he hates poetry), not all goths like vulgar sex crap (especially girls), not all goths know about Nietzsche (I've explained it to several) and I even know a goth who recognizes the fact that he's just as much a conformist tool as Trendy McPopcollar, but just likes the attention. The way you just pointed out that stereotypes do not apply conveniently ignores that the same thing works for goths. Of course, nobody needed me to point that out. Everybody can see that you do nothing but undermine your own arguements simply by reading your posts. I guess that means you need to take another look at "Posting... And You!"

I quite like the song. I hate the rock show clich

Modest Mouse - I Came As A Rat

I don't really care to decide what is what so I'll just pick the bands I like that makes less loud music - Pearl Jam Modest Mouse The EElS Beck Broken Social Scene Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Blur Red Hot Chili Peppers Led Zeppelin Deerhoof Pre-"Forget What You Know" Midtown (I don't recommend this, I just have an emotional attachment to those albums) Radiohead's Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer The Flaming Lips Pavement Meat Loaf Neutral Milk Hotel Sonic Youth Weezer's Blue Album, Pinkerton and Maladroit Also, I'm pretty sure some of Incubus' stuff counts. Not sure about The Fiery Furnaces, though. "The Sex Pistols are massively overrated, a bunch of lazy dweebs who could barely play their instruments and mutter insipid political ideals do not equal good music. " Sid Vicious and Lemmy Kilminster's rumoured conversation is hilarious. "I can't play bass" "I know"

Aha. So, in America, everyone who is not a jock is a goth. Okay, got it. Nice of you to stereotype 99.9% of America's high school going youth, and probably yourself, too. In fact, that's probably all my lit teachers too. I mean, seriously, you just described every hipster, indie snob, emo kid and geek in existence. And as far as I know, these are American stereo- and archetypes. All in all, stop being so obliviously emo.

In a sense, yes, but probably because the other music in the band is so overshadowed by what he does. If the music was "tighter", it would be fine. He is definitely one of the key figures to ensure that melody never leaves the genre though. And that is worth something. No, I'm pretty sure it's because nothing he does has any substance. Random scale excercises and arpeggios really fast does not a composition make. Don't get me wrong, I respect him a lot as a guitar player, but as a songwriter? Not so much.

Probably not, but I think Yngwie, for all his shredding, makes helluva boring music.

I saw The Wild. It's what everyone hoped Madagascar would be but wasn't. It had a couple of real belly laughs and quite a few chuckles.

Whose Rachel Dratch?

Both, really. I don't really judge by what genre it sounds like more than I judge how good the guitar work is. Blackwater Park is the best guitar album I've ever heard. I don't know why, but there's something just utterly liberating about screaming along with Manowar lyrics.

Black Sabbath Iron Maiden Guns 'N Roses' Appetite For Destruction Pre-Black Album Metallica Pantera Opeth Isis Pelican Rammstein Blind Guardian I also enjoy Manowar a lot, but only ironically, and Slipknot's 'Volume 3: Subliminal Verses' is a MAJOR guilty pleasure of mine. Off-topic, Mr. Bulock's Avathar is one of the coolest things I have seen on this forum. Orneryboy for teh win.

I like what they wrote themselves, but their Metallica covers... meh. I guess I liked the idea of Metallica with only Cellos more than the actual execution of it.
