Judas Priest - emmm they're not very good. Never understood their popularity / legendary status.

Agreed. Checked them out recently for the first time...biggest load of toss I've ever heard.

U2 rock and Bono is cool.

You might as well close this thread down now as I can't see anyone topping that for an unpopular opinion.

Dream Theater were right in carrying on without Mike Portnoy.

Dream Theater = Self Indulgent Sh!te of the highest order. Look at me! Look how many complicated riffs and timing changes I can fit into every song?

Aye, Dream Theater needed the shot of new blood in the band, no offence to Mike Portnoy - a brilliant drummer......... Wasn't really keen on Portnoy's side projects (The man has so many, how in god's name has he not burnt out yet). But The Winery Dogs are excellent

Dream Theater are Rush with all the fun sucked out.
Dave Mustaine can't f*cking sing
Panic at the Disco were underrated
Death Magnetic, Load and Reload had some great songs

My really unpopular opinion. I prefer Death Magnetic to all other Metallica albums

I like the new Guns N Roses line up and don't care if the original GNR line up ever get back together

The current NuGN'R or the band Axl assembled in late 97 after the original band collapsed?

Sunbather itself is probably the best death metal song in years. Absolutely amazing album.

wha? this is an insult to death metal!

Grindcore is much, much better than prog metal.

I really can't see how these two can be compared. I love grindcore A LOT but "prog metal" is one of those genres that spans a huge amount of styles (holding true to its nature) and the sound differs wildly from the popular polished/technical stuff to the more underground and obscure stuff.

I also put a curse on everyone who disses Tool and Mastodon.

Dream Theater were actually a pretty amazing band, they've just disappeared up their own arses years ago.

I was actually discussing them with a friend at the weekend, and both of us like the band, but we agreed that there's just something annoying about their fans. Sometimes I get **** for saying it, but Train of Thought really was their last good album, and that James LaBrie's solo work has been better than anything Dream Theater have done in years. But their fans seem to eat up everything they've been doing in the last few years, so it's obviously working for them.

Not where I'm concerned. Stop, start, over produced, growling, dubbed rubbish.

No flow to them at all.

Dave Mustaine is a better guitar player than Kirk Hammett

Even though Metallica are my favourite band

Metallica are my favourite band too but its widely regarded that this is the case, its actually more unpopular to think Hammetts better than Mustaine

Ah tbf it's a smashing tune. I've not too much in the way of better death metal in a good while.

I wasn't so much jabbing at their quality, just that Deafheaven are probably as far away from death metal as can be, and don't have any death metal qualities.

They dance about just outside the boundaries of black metal, for sure, though I myself would be in the camp who think they're an overrated underwhelming band who play post rock really fast with shrieking vocals.

Now I'm jabbing :P

(Oh, and imo death metal is currently in the healthiest state it's been in for years!)

Ha I agree with the last sentence alright, Cannibal Corpse's last album actually was a bit of a surprise.

However there was just something about Sunbather, immense album. There is actually melody under the black metal. ( I meant to say black metal initially, always get them confused)

How do you manage to get those confused? Death Metal is the one with fast double bass drumming, distorted guitars and raspy guttural vocals, and Black Metal is the one with fast double bass drumming, distorted guitars and raspy guttural vocals. Simple. :pac:

Well, when you put it that way...

Dunno if this is unpopular or not but, Jason Newstead was the best bassist for Metallica, not Rob

bushball · 13-06-2014 9:20pm

Not unpopular at all
