Metal Music? Are you deaf?

    What oh what, please tell me, is the story with metal heads? There is so much good music out there but you listen to crappy palm muted guitars with too much distortion, and singers who sound like they need a large dollop of Vicks to clear the phlegm out of their vocal chords.

    OK, so we have established that the music is crappy but then you go and listen to it at the sacred spinal tap 11. Why, are you deaf does your hearing not function, do you not realize how bad your music is? Do the queens of the stone age know something about metal heads that I don’t. Maybe that’s why you’re called metal heads, is it a euphemism for deaf people? A head made of metal would be no use when it comes to listening.

    To make the whole thing worse you dress like modern day lepers. In you black leather regardless of the weather, are you all hypersensitive to the sun that you need long hair and a black jackets to protect you.

    Someone please explain what the problem is?

    Just in case your wondering, this is not a troll.

    I know what I'm talking about when it comes to metal so someone please explain the attraction.

    Cheers

    I know what I'm talking about when it comes to metal
    In fairness you haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about, when it comes to metal. Firstly you are generalizing every type of metal as "crappy palm muted guitars with too much distortion" so you've obviously never listened to anything other than what you're referring to.. which I believe is trash metal. There are a LOT of different types of metal. Secondly you're presuming every single person in the whole world who listens to metal dresses like a 'leper' as you put it.. and has long hair. How ignorant are you? I listen to metal a lot more than I listen to any other music and I don't have long hair and I don't wear black clothes!
    Why, are you deaf does your hearing not function, do you not realize how bad your music is?
    Now thirdly if you don't like metal, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it more than likely won't be welcomed here.
    Please enlighten us as to what music you listen to.
    Someone please explain what the problem is?
    You seem to be the one with the problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    You obviously havent listened to anything past the tripe they show on MTV and Kerrang, so before you come here and cry your heart out try to actually listen to some proper metal.
    There is so much good music out there
    By good music what are you referring to? I can guess the likes of Scooter and all that other techno crap which I hate with a passion, but at least I dont go crying about it, and Ive endured it in school for 5years so at least I can give an opinion on it. For me good music is Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, In Flames, Sonata Arctica, and many others, these are all metal bands, but none of the bands named are even remotely similar to the next, even an immature stereotyping twat liek yourself could probably tell the diffrence. So before you come here mouthing of metallers (in the rock/metal forum) go out and listen to some proper metal which is listened to people over the age of 10.

    As for the looks, whats wrong with men with long hair? whats wrong with a leather jacket? Im sorry if we dont dress in 'cool' cloths that suit you, but I wear what I want, and care little for what other folk think, and what harm has it ever done to you?

    Says it all really doesnt it, you will more than likely get banned for this btw,hope you enjoyed your 2day spamming on these boards, because I doubt anyone else did.


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,739 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    Jesus, such a pile of non-sense! You know you should actually look into things before you waste your time posting such bullshit. Did you ever actually listen to someone other than Slipknot or whatever mainstream band that you were listening to, to make up such a pathetic post.

    First of all there are some singers in metal that do sing every once in a while weither you like it or not (check out Matt Barlow from Iced Earth for just one example). Secondly yes there are alot of bands that palm mute alot of their chords, so fucking what? Its better than listening to untz untz untz or just constant strumming of an acoustic IMO. And if you knew anything about music then you'd know that metal musicians are up there with the best in the world, (jazz, blues etc.) although jazz has probably the best of the lot.

    I would really love to know what you listen to so that I can make a judgement on your type of music.

    As Repli already said, we don't all wear the same type of clothes. You really don't have a clue.

    All you metal heads are such presumptuous people. I’ve already been called a number of names, had someone incorrectly guess my age and I’m being told what music I listen to.

    I like dance music but I’m not a big fan, so your scooter comment which was so witty is really null and void.

    I’ve already said I know what I’m talking about when it comes to metal so need to list off your all time favorite metal bands to me. I DON’T CARE!

    I’m not going to bother giving a list of my favorite bands here, I’m not the one on trial but I can assure that I do have a very broad range when it comes to taste in music.

    What have metal heads done to me?

    Have you ever sat beside a metal head on a bus?

    Even with head phones they like to share their music with the rest of us (very bad for their hearing by the way which is why I suspect they may be deaf), and the smell why can’t you be a metaller and clean?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN


    Wow your all so spiteful, slagging my posting average which as I said on after hours earlier is a suspected administrative error.

    And wishing someone to be banned is just bad karma!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 531 ✭✭✭juno75


    You dont know wot u are talkiing about mate.

    Palm Muteing is used in most forms of guitar playing, It can be done with various degrees of force and takes real skill and can certianly help define a particular guitar players style.
    My self I have used it in just about every style I have played -14 years plank spanking from Metal to Dub to Jazz to Irish-

    Would dearly love to hear you play:D

    LOL. Just like you insulted us in your original post? Called us lepers? Said we all smell? Said we are deaf? Said we are hypersensitive to the sun? Right, you know what you're talking about!! AND ROFL.. Do you not find it strange that we CORRECTLY guessed the type of music you listen to?
    I like dance music but I’m not a big fan, so your scooter comment which was so witty is really null and void.
    How is his comment null and void? If anything, admitting you like dance music validates his comment.
    I’ve already said I know what I’m talking about when it comes to metal so need to list off your all time favorite metal bands to me.
    You clearly don't, but it appears you're too ignorant/dumb to realise that.
    But I can assure that I do have a very broad range when it comes to taste in music.
    Ahh right. So you like scooter AND mauro picotoo? Wow! (Btw this is the only type of comment you can expect without actually proving you listen to a broad range of music)
    and the smell why can’t you be a metaller and clean?
    There are plenty. Again - proving your ignorance.

    You've lost the argument mate, deal with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN


    Lost the argument my foot,

    I'm asking what the attraction to metal music is but nobody seems to want to answer.

    Well?

    What is it?

    PS No clichéd answer's either.

    Also my making fun of metallers is totally different to your making fun of me.

    I'm attacking a faceless group of people who obviously don't care what people think of them.

    You’re attacking me personally and it's really upsetting.

    Really! I might cry soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    *shrug*

    You don't see the attraction with metal music.

    I don't see the attraction with pineapples.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    It's called TASTE. Just 'cos yours doesn't agree with that of others, that doesn't make them WRONG.

    I like some heavy metal bands because of the music they make. Simple.

    Your so hypocritical its highly amusing, you say we smell, we listen to horridly loud music, we all lok exactly the same, you call us presumptuous people and now this, your stupidity is highly amusing, as is your ignorance.
    I'm asking what the attraction to metal music is but nobody seems to want to answer.
    The sound maybe, what attracts you to dance music ?(oh wait, its 'cool', silly me, i forgot).
    Really! I might cry soon.
    And with this quote I rejoice.

    An obvious troll, will someone just ban the kid. Is it easter holidays already, I thought it was a little too soon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN


    All that loud music has clearly busted your sarcasm detector. I can be hypocritical all I want. I’m putting metallers on trial here, maybe you can persuade me to change my so called ignorant views on metal music.

    Think of it as a challenge like turning down your volume dial.

    And heres a list of quotes from the twat himself (aswell) :

    I’m not the one on trial

    I’m putting metallers on trial here


    The fact people this stupid exsist worrys me, really it does, and just to rub it in Ishall quote again with much joy and happyness in my heart.

    Do you even have the brains you were born with ?

    Firstly, all of your mails are available for everybody to see by pressing the search button on your mail. So the admin error thing ???

    Now I don't particularly like Rock\Metal, there are some songs I do like but I do not come to the metal forum and start slagging off rock/Metal. I mean how would you like it if I went to the "Absolute Twats" forum and started slagging you and your mates off ??

    If you wanted a healthy debate you should have said so.
    But you are too stupid/ignorant to do that so you had to resort to childish insults and ignorant comments. You've done nothing but prove yourself to be an idiot here. Congratulations.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN


    Listen stop calling me stupid and ignorant because I'm clearly not.

    Can anyone who wants to talk about their opinions on metal good or bad please post here other wise "rack off ya mongrel".

    We are trying to have an educated debate here.

    I have plenty of experience with metal music believe you me.

    Repli and Pugsley if you want to debate metal music with me please do. Otherwise stop trying to hijack this thread. I know you’re only doing it so this thread gets locked. You know if any serious debate takes place you will lose and metalers will look even dumber than usual.

    Oh right, and people who listen to dance music are the geniuses of society?
    You know if any serious debate takes place you will lose and metalers will look even dumber than usual.

    Why would anyone want to debate a topic of METAL with someone who hasn't the slightest clue about it? Unless you can prove your interest in metal (Without saying "Ive plenty of experience with metal") then nobody will argue with you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN


    OK my history with metal

    I’ve been in sound cellar twice. The first time was by mistake so I left quite promptly the second time I realized that I in fact I had not made a mistake and that this hole in the ground was in fact the place that sold concert ticket so I went back in and was there for approximately ten minutes. I probably heard about three songs while in there and they all sucked. So now you know my history with metal.

    Nah that’s a joke. My younger brother is a goth so I get to listen to his crap all day long when ever I’m at home. :D

    .......... wonder how many people have voted this expecting a serious debate, I also wonder how many voted for 5stars to let everyone know how much humour is displayed by the twat with a power ranger for an avatar and over 30 posts per day.
    And they think I'm a spammer?
    When you post you do 1 post but split it in half and post it twice, you have done it several times in this thread, including your very 1st 2 posts, that my twatted friend, is spam. The rest is just mocking your stupidity, which is called black comedy, meaning its only funny to a certain audiance, namingly everyone but you.

    edit:
    Nah that’s a joke. My younger brother is a goth so I get to listen to his crap all day long when ever I’m at home.
    ............ so your basing you arguement against the ENTIRE metalling society on these boards, on the tripe your gothling brother has, waken up and smell the coffee, most folk here hate gothling music as much as the rest of the worl, thats why at the start of thia thread I said PROPER metal, which negates anything which has ever been on MTV or Kerrang (with the exception of Iron Maiden, which I have seen on there once at a friend house) by you mentioning this you have made any chance of a 'serious debate' more void than they already were.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭RED HORN

    Just how low *is* your IQ? I just clicked on the "search" button on your last post, and there's no error with your account, there's 4 pages of your spam posted since you created your account the other day. 4.21 posts a day is not considered spamming. The 20-something a day unconstructive, (trolling!) posts you've been maintaining *is* spam. And I think I will ask Devore about you. I'm sure some of the mods have too.

    Well you see the same arguments can be put to any types of music. Oh this type of music is crap because of this and so on. There is no point in debating it really, because there is no way you're gonna be able to argue with someone who hates metal, or who likes metal, because it's too hard to label what type of music is which, eg: you calling queens of the stone age metal in an earlier post, which theyaren't really (in my view of metal) but they might be treated as such to others. The reason they like it because they like the sound of heavy guitars, fast riffs, fast drums etc etc. Why does anybody like anything, you can't just get a straight answer for these things. Anyone can start a thread like "Classical Music? Are you deaf?" and so on. Your not gonna get anywhere because so many different people have differerent reasons as to why they like things and why they don't.

    Not everyone is gonna agree with you, and insulting people isn't going to help.
    So basically you can argue for against metal but you're not going to get the same explanation from everyone as to why they like it or dislike it.
