I think this is the only internet metal place where people still maintain the 90s metal nerd consensus that Pantera is poo poo. Way to buck the trend, fellas.

there's usually at least one band or musician in every genre that speaks to people that are otherwise completely uninterested in that style of music, and for me, blind guardian is the best power metal band there will ever be even if people who are way into power metal will say otherwise.

Bruce Boxliker posted:My friend played me some of their album. All I heard was just huge bombastic orchestra over blast beats nonstop. Gets pretty dull IMO. Fleshgod is one of those bands where you hear them for the first time and go "holy poo poo this is awesome!" and then you sort of get a sinking feeling with every subsequent song you hear because they never do anything different from that one song. They're pretty fun to see live though.

the thing is that, even though planetary duality is loving trash, it's still better than autotheism. the lyrics on that album have got to be a parody.

Weaponized Cum posted:Florida Crew gently caress yeah. Show was loving awesome. I managed to drag two non-metal friends from work along for the ride and they had a blast. Municipal Waste is such a fun live show and it was a non-stop hail for stage divers anytime there was sound coming out of the amps. Both my buddies made trips into the pit so I almost can't want for work in the morning just to see them all groggy and sore. Nice warm up for next week

muike posted:i didn't even realize hating pantera was a thing until i posted here It was definitely a thing back when they were still around. They were pretty much seen by quote unquote serious metal fans as white trash garbage for dirtbags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwj_aNz9DyI&t=225s Exhibit A. The typical Pantera fan circa 1994. It wasn't until a couple years after Dimebag died and I guess Lamb of God became marginally acceptable that the consensus shifted to where it is today. The odd thing is that hating Pantera is more of an old fart deal, but I'm pretty sure most people here were either in diapers or at best elementary school in the early 90s, so it's not as if they formed their opinion on the band back when they were still putting out albums.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:A couple guys managed to re-record St. Anger and make it sound better than Metallica. The vocals are hilariously close to Hetfield's, but the best part is they managed to cut 15 minutes off the album length. The drums sound so much better. Especially on the fast/chorus part of the title track.

I guess that makes me an old fart. I took the hot older metal chick at my high school to see Skid Row because she was a fan, seeing CFH era Pantera open was just a bonus. I could tell then, that the band was going to blow up. Same when I saw LoG open for Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall back in '02 or '03. They blew the headliners off the stage.

Yeah I remember seeing them with like Prong and Sepultura. They were definitely heavy for a radio band and Phil sang on Anal oval office tracks and stuff, but they were near-universally loathed by "serious" metal dudes back then. Then again so were bands like Atheist and Cynic and Gorguts at the time, and none of them were trying to be popular. It was weird how narrowly-defined what was considered acceptable was back then.

sticklefifer posted:As someone who was into them since SOANM, I found The Industrialist pretty boring. Archetype was pretty much been their only good album since Obsolete. The lineup poo poo the bed again after that because Burt decided he was Fear Factory and nobody else, and forgot to tell the rest of them before making another album. If they'd just bury all their hatchets and go back to the classic lineup of Bell/Cazares/Wolbers/Herrera, they'd probably be worth listening to again. Oh man, somehow I brain farted Archetype, which was A Good Album... but oddly enough I like The Industrialist better. Either way, I agree, a return to the classic lineup would probably own.

RIP Dimebag and all, its a loving tragedy that some oval office blasted him on stage but Pantera and him by association gets fellated non-stop. He had some good riffs and could shred but then again who couldn't? The music is loving boring and has a bad smell after redneck mania caught on. The only thing I like from Phil is when he did Stone the Crow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBLbrJxGtro

I would like Pantera more if they didn't have the worst frontman in music history and Dime's guitar tone did not spawn a wave of the worst tones known to man.

And if you haven't heard it yet, some unreleased Dimebag songs, he's most likely drunk off his rear end in this and its no wonder it never came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzr2fzDalL8

nerve posted:You can't just say diversity in music has dropped off (significantly even!) and not expect someone to ask you to back that up http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/07/26/is-pop-music-evolving-or-is-it-just-getting-louder/ Most of the studies focus on pop music (though metal is technically a subsection of pop), but the idea is the same. What's the last truly new thing in metal? Djent? Yay, warmed over Meshuggah riffs from 20 years ago. Most everything else is just ticking off a genre checklist. Hey that band really sounds like old Exodus. Hey that band really sounds like Obituary, etc. etc. The irony is our access to music has never been wider nor more easy and open. Maybe the focus on rehashing the past is a function of the increasing homogeneity of modern music, since it's easier than ever to hear more diverse material from decades past, even (and maybe especially) the more obscure stuff. e: if you want a quick verification of the stagnation, listen to your local modern buttrock station for a little bit, then try to distinguish bands and songs from the past five years versus stuff from 10-15+ years ago Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jan 21, 2015 |

I mean, even in the 90's when Nirvana was blowing everyone's mind they STILL managed to make every song sound the same because they magically conjured up a bunch of other grunge/alternative acts to fill in the gaps between repeats of SLTS. This was true in the 80's too, the names of the acts were different but the MO was the same. There's still a lot of really creative, explorative music out there. The hard part is finding it.. one would think the internet would make this easier but it seems like what it's actually done is generate a colossal sea of noise that makes it a giant chore to find unique stuff. My method is to bookmark threads like this one on a number of forums and just wait for someone to post a link to something new.. sort of the internet version of hearing about a new act that played in some dive bar over the weekend. The most original stuff I've been hearing these days is coming from electronic music, which is unfortunate for metalheads, but maybe that's just a sign of the times.
