I never got the whole "Labels are for FOOD!" thing. You can't tell me Gwar and Lifetime are the same thing.

Yeah, I like labeling music.

GWAR > punk rock

GWAR played here Wednesday, I didn't go.

[QUOTE=DrGolovaCroxby]GWAR > punk rock[/QUOTE]

You=Wrong

GWARis hilarious. Quote by the guy from GWAR in Alternative Press: I really love Grand Theft Auto San Andreas because I get to run around as an Al Qaeda cyborg in my tighty whities, killing people with a double-headed dildo. Now that's a game. And it's not too different from reality either.

So therefore GWAR>You. Not really though.

**** No!!!

Speed/Thrash Metal (atleast from the early eighties) should be something all punkheads should atleast have the slightest taste for. (IMHO)

I've seen GWAR twice; each time was phenomenal.

GWAR is wikkidy-whack.

You need a new phrase.

Going with the trend, i'm not saying that Rock and Metal bands don't have talent, they do their thing and it's just not my style. It doesn't appeal to me. That doesn't make them any less musicians. For example, I HATE with all my heart classic rock. It just doesn't appeal to me in the least bit shape or form, but that doesn't mean Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. don't have talent or aren't good bands, I just don't like them. As for Rush, they have some awesome and very difficult/technical guitar and bass lines, just they don't appeal to me lyrically at all.

you don't even know, child.

[QUOTE=StruckEverywhere]You need a new phrase.[/QUOTE]
I'll get a new one soon. Next time I think of something.

[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]I go to my fair share of metal shows, and not once have I [i]ever[/i] said, "Man, the crowd was awesome tonight". Metal is one of those unfortunate genres, like mainstream punk, that is deluded and inevitably ruined by its fans.[/QUOTE]

The Haunted are underground thrash, and where are you from? Because audiences in the UK are known to be better because we dont get as many gigs. And the Pogo started here man!

^^ I'm pretty sure I have been to metal shows with an immense atmosphere and actually thought that the "Crowd was awesome tonight". Mastodon were a good example of this.

I listen to both punk and metal. These days anyway, a lot of people whom I know who think they are punks claim to dislike metal because "...It's all just screaming and double-bass pedals..." When I try and relate to them that metalcore is a fusion of both metal and hardcore punk they ain't having it.

im not really in to metal though when i listen to it when it comes on the radio/tv. but when im listen to music on my computer i find that i cant listen to songs more then 3 minute long songs. i may just have a short attention span
and i like a lot of rock but its the same if its to long its hard for me to continue listening to it

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Oh yeah, Def Leppard \m/[/QUOTE]


What has 9 arms and sucks?

I think theres more metalheads who dislike punks than the other way around.

mainly because our instrumental skill in punk isnt up to metal standards

[QUOTE=Skidmark Steve]mainly because our instrumental skill in punk isnt up to metal standards[/QUOTE]

No reason to look down on punx just we don't do seven minute wankfests i.e. Yngwie Malmsteen.

for me, all the soloing gets really boring. punk songs are short and to the point, but sometimes to short and i wish the song would go on. but i just dont listen to much metal, except iron maiden and black sabbath. i listen to some classic rock, like the who, zeppelin, van halen. allman brothers were first my first concert...

im going to make a "Do you have anything against punk" thraed in the R&M forums

My friend likes punk and metal (but mainly punk) and he says punk shows are [U][B]way[/B][/U] better.

[QUOTE=Skidmark Steve]im going to make a "Do you have anything against punk" thraed in the R&M forums[/QUOTE]

Haha, good idea.

This thread officially smells.

haha the thread lasted pretty long. got some good results...

and alot said the exact same thing as we were saying. they said that they dont get why punk is about the message rather than the music.
