02.18.18 | oh boy. |
Relinquished
02.18.18 | "One aesthetic."
and they made it their own |
gryndstone
02.18.18 | You put respeck on Dio's name right now |
MarsKid
02.18.18 | Cult following usually means not very mainstream though, bit of a more underground presence
Pretty sure a lot of if not most of these groups are relatively well-known and established |
Doctuses
02.18.18 | true, you know what I mean tho |
Doctuses
02.18.18 | yea well gay bars were original once too |
Hawks
02.18.18 | 2 is false, Death is best. |
MyNameIsPencil
02.18.18 | Death = Athiest anyway |
Astral Abortis
02.18.18 | what does that even mean |
Koris
02.18.18 | "Why these guys are apart of the big 4 is beyond me."
Apply this sentence to Slayer and I'd agree. They're easily the worst of the 4 imo
Also, Terria's one of the best metal albums I've ever heard to this day |
Astral Abortis
02.18.18 | "Apply this sentence to Slayer and I'd agree. They're easily the worst of the 4 imo"
Yeah bc Slayer actually helped pioneer three new genres and were innovative and massively heavy and different and incredible
Anthrax did essentially nothing, especially in comparison to the other three |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | Anthrax is more or less universally agreed to be that one that's a bit below the rest regarding the American big four (just like Tankard with the Teutonic big four), but I personally disagree.
I'd consider myself more of a Tankard defender tho, but Anthrax's Spreading the Disease kills hard. |
Koris
02.18.18 | Slayer's basically a shitty and less extreme version of Kreator. If Kreator were an American band, I bet they'd replace Slayer for the Big 4 in a heartbeat. But they never achieved the level of fame and influence they deserved |
Dedes
02.18.18 | Kreator definitely got the fame and influence they deserved, it's just the big 4 is so massively blown out of proportion every other popular Thrash band looks like a drop in the bucket.
Also if you are gonna tell me that Anthrax is anywhere above Slayer than Y I K E S. |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | Kreator aged better than Slayer. I mean, when you make happy cheese-fests called Satan Is Real or Lion With Eagle Wings and they rip face, you're a fuckin genius. |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | And the same goes to Sodom with Refused to Die and especially VAGINAL BORN EEEEEEVVVVVIIIIIIIILLLLL.
NEW ALBUM IS GONNA RULEEEEE DUDES |
Hawks
02.18.18 | Slayer and Kreator both slay wtf. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | Well...fuck lol
1 is my favorite band of all time
2 is my second favorite band of all time
3 is fucking incredible but not in my top 10
4 is my favorite musician of all time
5 is really fun
and 6 has like 3 of some of the best prog albums ever
Not huge on 7
8 is classic but I don't really listen to Dio so
But yeah man, you basically just listed a number of my favorite artists so agree to disagree lol |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | "Apply this sentence to Slayer and I'd agree. They're easily the worst of the 4 imo"
Soccer, Slayer is probably my favorite of the 4 lol
South of Heaven, Seasons, Reign in Blood, Hell Awaits, Show No Mercy like holllly fuck.
I like Master/RtL and Rust in Peace more than any Slayer album but Slayer just has so many fucking classics and are evil af |
SitarHero
02.18.18 | I too struggle to understand why people like different things than me. |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | Thread needs a beer before it becomes another salty one, just like Effigy of the Forgotten |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | I'm drinking a beer now so we're good, Ripping Corpse
Also I'm loving the Kreator love here, but you guys need to lay off the Slayer hate. You're lying to yourselves if you don't headbang until your neck breaks every time you jam Reign In Blood. |
Dedes
02.18.18 | If my neck broke I wouldn't get to headbang.
How else can I perform a perfect windmill to Hunky Dory? |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | You bring up a solid point |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | Agreed with Lucca's comment.
The big 4, the big 4... I think the concept of the "big 4" was made up by Anthrax's publicity agent. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | hell yeah m/ |
RippingCorpse1986
02.18.18 | And the same goes to the Teutonic big 4, but with Tankard's manager. OMG Tankard XD
Jamming The Morning After right now m/ |
sumyunguy
02.18.18 | Disagree with most of these, but I'm convinced I'll die without putting a single Devin Townsend song on my ipod. He's an amazing guitarist, but I will never understand the appeal of his music. As far as musical geniuses/auteurs/releasers of 72 albums go, Steven Wilson and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez are far superior honestly |
Rik VII
02.18.18 | And out of all the positive things one could say about Devin you choose "he's an amazing guitarist"?? |
onionbubs
02.18.18 | let me explain a few of these
deftones - because theyre good
misfits - because theyre good
dream theater - ok you got me there |
Sinternet
02.18.18 | thrash is the worst most degenerate metal subgenre and there are like five good albums in the genre
and misfits are fucking legends |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.18.18 | "No." [2]
Sinternet, that better have been a troll comment |
Demon of the Fall
02.18.18 | 1, 3 & 6 - yes
2 - hell no
Others, don’t care (yet) |
CalculatingInfinity
02.18.18 | Thrash is so hit and miss with bands. Each good Thrash usually only has one album really loving but there's so many of those bands that there ends up being so many gud Thrash albums. |
Evreaia
02.18.18 | You never understood the following Death got? Sucks to be you then.
Don't care about the other bands on the list. But fuck you for 2. |
DePlazz
02.18.18 | Interesting list, there's several parts I'd actually agree with |
DePlazz
02.18.18 | Actually anything at one point or another, except 2 |
Ocean of Noise
02.18.18 | I wouldn't even agree with the "one aesthetic" thing tbh. Sure, there's a similar basic idea behind all of their albums since DEI, but if you compare DEI to Nothing, or Chaosphere to Catch-33, there is a LOT of variety in Meshuggah's discography. Not to mention Contradictions Collapse and None which are completely different from each other and from all the rest of their albums. |
Doctuses
02.18.18 | I said I dont get why death is as popular as they are. Which is stratosphere popular. Not why theyre popular in general. |
Storm In A Teacup
02.18.18 | LEAVE DEFTONES OUT OF THIS |
CygnusX1
02.19.18 | Good joke list |
MoosechriS
02.19.18 | Meh, opinions. I’m going over here to enjoy stuff. |
BlackwaterPork
02.19.18 | Omfg why is death here aggggghhhh |
Doctuses
02.19.18 | there are better bands. |
Doctuses
02.19.18 | cynic, atheist, gorguts, obituary, morbid angel, suffocation, immolation, autopsy > death. |
DikkoZinner
02.19.18 | "Satan Is Real"
The Louvin Bros? |
RippingCorpse1986
02.19.18 | ''The Louvin Bros?''
Oh boy didn't remember that thing. Never heard it, gonna check sounds like it slays and kills. |
