Still can't be loving bothered with it.

Spanish Manlove posted:I just watched sergeant D aka PunkRockMBA do a breakdown of how slipknot got so big and a lot of it was incredibly smart marketing on their part and their target audience Openly appealing to outcast young people will work pretty often, it's also why ICP and KISS are rich (that and Gene Simmons is shameless). KISS seems incredibly tame now but they used to be the type of band that would arouse suspicion of all kinds of poo poo that would get you harassed and whatnot by cops and and school officials. People really bought into the whole "Knights in Satan's Service" thing, and Gene and Paul were smart enough to exploit it for as long as possible, then ditched it when it was no longer profitable. I feel like he could do a similar breakdown of KISS and it would be pretty interesting, especially if he avoided talking to Gene and still made it compelling.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Slipknot is a band I don't care for but appreciate in some ways because they were a gateway band who were gracious enough to acknowledge their influences publicly and frequently. They also appealed to some really hosed up kids who in a way that might seem shallow to us, but meant the world to a 15 year old somewhere who probably got called "fag" as often as he did his actual name. Maybe once he felt like he belonged, once he found other Slipknot fans. Same reason I can't totally hate juggalos, the source material seems crap to me, but it has probably stopped a few good but confused people from committing suicide. Every generation has stuff like this, you can either get with it or don't, but being the guy who loudly has to let others know your disdain for it doesn't make you a tastemaker par excellence, it makes you an rear end in a top hat. Totally agree. Love slipknot, was at the right age for them. Couldn't be a bigger fan. My memory sucks though, which bands did they frequently acknowledge?

I think my nu-metal phase ran the two year stretch between discovering that modern heavy music was a thing and the MP3 boom showing me that it got a lot better than the poo poo I was listening to I hated everything else about '98-99 so really there's no nostalgia attached at all

Parachute posted:oh yeah cool you had an older brother to guide your musical taste while i just went to the record store and picked out the albums with the most skulls on them and hoped for the best i miss doing this. local record store/pseudo pawn shop lets you listen to any used CD they have with headphones, and I'd just grab the most skull-laden and metal looking albums and listen to the first track of each, then buy as many as I could afford. some ended up being real duds, but I DID discover this in 1999 when it came out:  ended up being one of my favs of all time. now I just hit up bandcamp and listen to tracks, which loses a bit of it's charm, but I also don't have to worry about a friend stealing and getting caught in the store. I WAS the older brother who got his younger brother into metal and heavy music, who eventually ended up getting Converge's Jane Doe album cover tattooed on his forearm. I think I did OK.

Sorry for the BACK IN MY DAY but I really loving miss blind buying and blind downloading poo poo that sounded and looked cool. Nowadays I often hit up rym to see what the good albums are for bands I hear about and go from there. It’s lame! Oddly enough streaming has been an alright return to just diving into random stuff. At least I’ve always disliked music reviews in the “is this album good or bad” variety so I don’t bother with those.

That actually relates well to the convo at hand, because one of the bets pieces of advice I got when it comes to finding new music was "Find out what the bands you already like listen to, and give them a shot". I bet because of that article, somebody discovered those bands and it was a big gateway for them. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Nov 2, 2018 |

And also there was one (1) weekly hour-long metal show on the radio around the late 80s/early 90s. So I randomly got into stuff like Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Testament and Bathory; but never got exposed to Megadeth, for example.

I was broke as hell back then and couldn't risk lovely CDs. I did have friends who got me into Meshuggah (Destroy Erase Improve was just released), Shellac, and all sorts of other noisy poo poo. Then someone told me to grab Soilwork's Figure Number Five from their DCC bot and here we are today.

In 85 I didn’t know a lot of metalheads, I was 14 and just figuring stuff out from looking at records and zines. There was a great NYC area radio show called Midnite Metal that was on from midnight to 6am playing Celtic Frost, Kreator, all that good mid 80s stuff. I used to set an alarm so I could wake up every hour to flip a tape a record the whole six hours and I’d be set for the week. The host did an interview with Tom Warrior but I missed it and was so bummed I wrote and asked him if he’d send me a copy. He not only sent it to me but recorded a custom intro giving me a shoutout for being a loyal listener, it ruled. E- holy poo poo I wish this video was way longer, love those accents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCmq7o-fh2Q

Nativity In Black posted:I found out about new poo poo by going to the mall and buying samplers. I remember picking up Metal for the Masses vol 2 from Hot Topic. CD was OK, but with it was a second disc with 150 mp3s on there. Borknagar, Therion, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, SYL, Tiamat... got into some good stuff because of that CD. I bought the third one too but it didn't have mp3s and was kind of garbage.
