A Rant.[views:4797][posts:34]_____________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 1:29pm - The_Rooster ""] I'm really sick of this new wave of "progressive" metal bands. Stop your dweedilly-fucking-wee-wee wanking and make music that has some substance to it. Clones of clones of clones... you all literally sound the same. But hey, the kidz like the Meshuggah moshes with the weedle-dweedle-deedlely-doo tap-a-lap-a-ding-dong over the top, so just keep churning out the assembly-line metal brah. *takes deep breath* End rant. |

| _________________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 1:41pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] One of the reasons I have started to move deeper into more bands that have a style that could never become mainstream (among metalheads that is) Folk and symphonic metal turned their backs on me as we now have the jig/pirate metal era and the we-need-moar-stringed-instruments-metal era. |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 2:52pm - MillenialKingdom ""] You won't find many innovative bands these days. This is the era of the cover band. |

| ________________________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 3:45pm - matt_sways_in_the_wind ""] Ozzy has a clip of a new song in a CSI commercial. it's gotta be the most metal thing evaaaar. yeeeeeeaaaaahh he's gonna do a guest appearance on the show, his character will be named "O" and he's gonna take his glasses off when he over-acts. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 5:47pm - Randy_Marsh ""] pretty much every band on that shitty label "sumerian" is like that. sumerian is faggot. meshuggah is not faggot though, very innovative. I don't understand why a lot of these bands label themselves progressive either. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 5:53pm - the_reverend ""] progressive = liberal. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 5:56pm - bornofosichris ""] haha. i don't think it's the bands themselves using these terms per se, but the words "technical" and "progressive" get thrown around like hot cakes in this scene it seems regardless of whether or not they're actually applicable. |

I don't understand why a lot of these bands label themselves progressive either. Stray From the Path is good, and I don't think even they consider themselves progressive or technical, at least i hope they don't. other than that the rest of the label is shit among shit. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 16,2010 10:14pm - Samantha ""] They do it because Wren wants "more swirly guitars". |

I can't remember what thread it was in, I lol'd heavily that day though |
