11.16.10 | THANK YOU I was actually thinking the exact same thing |
theacademy
11.16.10 | i hope they get linkin park/green day/fall out boy big. seriously. |
JWT155
11.16.10 | Why? |
Yordy
11.16.10 | My guess is because it's a fairly easy review that will get a lot of hits.
I also hope they get crazy-huge. Just to see what happens. |
Gorification
11.16.10 | idk, but my friend just recently started listening to them, ugh... |
theacademy
11.16.10 | "Why?"
2 reasons:
1. dumb people spew unwarranted hate on them for making accessible, mediocre metal
2. accessible, mediocre metal is our best shot of seeing metal in arenas again. you can't get a big enough crowd of metalheads together without flying over the ocean.

11.16.10 | I'm with ACAD on this one. |
theacademy
11.16.10 | word, brother. |
JWT155
11.16.10 | Eh, I see ADTR to attract more of the punk blink-182 crowd then the Metal crowd but I agree as much as I find them mediocre if they're helping kids get into Metal then that's a good thing. |
Sowing
11.16.10 | im not fond of ATDR but academy has a point |
Strider
11.16.10 | we sort of need these guys. Plus they're cool and not horrendous fags like Escape The Fate. |
Dryden
11.16.10 | theyre the same |
Dryden
11.16.10 | oaohoaoh |
Strider
11.16.10 | "oaohoaoh"
Is that the kill? |
HenchmanOfSanta
11.16.10 | How are ATDR metal at all? They're like awful -core mixed with pop-rock mixed with pure annoyance. |
HenchmanOfSanta
11.16.10 | Also how would them getting big get actual metal bands into arenas? And why would I want to see actual metal bands in arenas? It's ideal music for a small venue. |
Dryden
11.16.10 | it is |
Strider
11.16.10 | I have idea if you were answering my question or responding to what he said so I'm just gonna say: funny I was listening to it when you posted that. |
Yordy
11.16.10 | it is [2] |
theacademy
11.16.10 | "How are ATDR metal at all? They're like awful -core mixed with pop-rock mixed with pure annoyance."
1. They play all their instruments
2. They write all their songs
3. They scream the verses and sing the choruses
4. They mix in breakdowns
5. Girls at metal shows, and not just fat ones dressed in black make up
i mean, do I choose to listen to it on my ipod? No. Do i get all sourpuss if they end up on the radio? fuck no. I'll always throw my support behind fast + fun rock music over patronizing 'i'm chad kroeger, every-man' radio rock, pretentious bleep-bloop hipster horse shit, or the abortive half-post-hardcore-half-electronica metalcore that all your friends are probably into and you probably are too...
"Also how would them getting big get actual metal bands into arenas? And why would I want to see actual metal bands in arenas? It's ideal music for a small venue."
what are you fucking retarded or something? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0plXJ-YQTg |

11.16.10 | clearly you care about adtr |
Strider
11.16.10 | preach brother! show them the light ! |
Emim
11.16.10 | Wow, I had never thought of them like that. Kudos, acad.
And they're really not very terrible. |
Strider
11.16.10 | not when you have bands like asking alexandria around |
theacademy
11.16.10 | "clearly you care about adtr"
yes. is this not apparent from "i hope they get linkin park/green day/fall out boy big. seriously."? |
witchxrapist
11.16.10 | IDK why you'd hope that, their gimmick is just solidifying the common misconception of hardcore and bringing more little wieners into the scene. |
Emim
11.16.10 | The popular kids hate the underground music and the underground kids hate the popular music. Little do they realize that you can't really argue quality with art. |
Strider
11.16.10 | after they're in thhe scene they come to sites like sputnik to listen to some good music. |
Strider
11.16.10 | asking alexandria..............ugh [2] |

11.16.10 | "The popular kids hate the underground music and the underground kids hate the popular music. Little do they realize that you can't really argue quality with art."
I have a bunch of friends that like A Day To Remember and Defeater both. This dichotomy isn't really there anymore, aside from a few idiots and little kids. |
Strider
11.16.10 | I'd love to see adtr get big. People just need to realize that better music exists and that they should try it. |
Emim
11.16.10 | "after they're in thhe scene they come to sites like sputnik to listen to some good music."
This. How many people went straight from radio to 90s hardcore or whatever? Everyone goes through their "brutal" stage, whether that is Mudvayne, Bring Me the Horizon or Metallica. |

Dryden
11.16.10 | thats not brutal |
witchxrapist
11.16.10 | "I'd love to see adtr get big. People just need to realize that better music exists and that they should try it."
They have videos on MTV pretty often, and tons of kiddies at the mall wear their merch. |

right we gotta protect the 'scene.' for people who are legit. INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD LEGIT.
btw there's 0% chance this band ever makes it big in the linkin park/green day sense. just saying it would be nice. |
Strider
11.16.10 | "strider adtr is already pretty damn huge."
not in France yet lol. but I got some of my friends to listen to them so we're getting there. |
theacademy
11.16.10 | "strider adtr is already pretty damn huge."
"do bands like adtr ever even go to france on a regular basis?"
dude they're not that huge. closing out the warped tour =/= frivolous 'best metal album' grammy nomination |
bloc
11.16.10 | I'm pretty surprised by all the "high" ratings for it, it was pretty damn bad. |
theacademy
11.16.10 | i prob won't listen to it for a few weeks but i 5'd it when i saw this list |
Strider
11.16.10 | nope. I've been wanting to see them (even though Jeremy's singing is horrendous live) and never got to. |
Yordy
11.16.10 | I doubt it's bad, but I doubt even more that it's remotely good. |

What does that have to do with metal at all? And did you seriously just link me to Pantera? Fucking Pantera?! |
climactic
11.16.10 | shut up |
ffs
