Any metal bands you don't get?

[Emperoff]

I forgot how to forum today.

All of them. Polka best genre.

I tried using the Vito Bratta thread as a way to get into White Lion.

Just couldn’t do it with their music.

I'm so glad that we as a society have progressed to the point where we can admit that Slayer and Megadeth ain't shit. God bless

Every power metal band ever and Sabaton in particular.

I just hate it.

^ I like power metal, but I also don't get why people like Sabaton. I mean, yeah, you hear one song and it might be somewhat OK, but then all the rest of the songs are the same, boring mid tempo singalongs. Then again, they were never that good at playing fast either.

Sort of same issue with Beast in Black - I like their actual power metal songs, but I can't stand the stupid disco songs they mostly seem to focus on.

... what else... oh yeah:

I don't get bands whose songs are breakdowns from start to finish. I like breakdowns as much as anyone, but IMO you can't really break it down unless you go fast first. No matter how groovy or technical or whatever it is, you just don't get the same effect when the song is already in half-time.

Dystopia is the best album they have made since Marty left the band. Kiko raised the bar incredibly high.

I’ll add endgame to that too , if you may
great album. Then,13, supercollider were really low level megadeth....
Dystopia was a great come back

 

[Manurack]

Sepultura, Exodus, Queensryche, Slipknot (one of my friends said their music is just nonsense noise with multiple instruments and random shit and that stuck with me), Whitechapel (why do they need THREE GUITARISTS each playing 7 string guitars?!) All of Deathcore, Animals As Leaders, Periphery and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Chris Broderick wrote some sweet solos. Most notably '44 Minutes' from Endgame!

 

[Alberto7]

August Burns Red. To me it's just angry noise. Some of my old bandmates were SO into these guys, and I just kinda smiled and nodded while they freaked their shit over this band. Never got it.

This list is long for me... I don't usually like a lot of bands very much. Something else will come up soon.

My gramps is giving you a huge thumbs up. Polka and barbershop quartets were his jam. And he drug me to several concerts for both. No wonder my musical tastes are so diverse.

Bought me a record player about a year ago (covid boredom most likely), my main source of buying vinyl in person is thrift stores lol so needless to say it's a pretty eclectic collection.

Out of 30 or so records I picked up my fav is Myron Floren. hands down. Somehow instrumental accordion polka fits right in with my go-to thrash/death deal. Kind of like Trollfest I suppose.

That's not White Lion. That's Lion. Two different bands. People mix that up all the time.

As the resident Transformers lore expert, I had that lesson handed to me by Simon Furman and a couple of other Transformers writers at BotCon 2002. Jeezus that was a long time ago.

Nah. Nighttflame was a fan character that switched from Decepticon to Autobot. There's enough nerdery in my handle.

Lion was Doug Aldrich's early band so that will be him on guitar for that Transformers track.
