Heavy Metal was so raw and cool
when did it become aimless wankery for reactionary nerds?

1980

Depends on what metal you’re listening to. There’s a lot of riffless gay shit out there but if you sift through the crap you’ll find some good stuff.

>geezer is mad that metal transcended its rock origins

>>126999425
In reality, the best metal is and always has been the kind that had some sort of rock backbone to it.

so you're basically angry that it broke apart from basically just being heavier form of dadrock and became its own thing with the onset of the more ambitious forms of metal in the progressive and extreme subgenres?

>Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me. Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Seriously though, Black Sabbath and early metal is all my father had when he was a dirt poor teenager smoking cigarette buds and eating cereals with water. His love for early metal shaped my love for music and made me pick up an instrument and start writing shit.
I wish he kept his fucking tapes though. Damn.

yeah Heaven and Hell sounds sanitised and boring

>reactionary
what's this supposed to mean? Five Finger Death Punch are reactionaries?

Go listen Rival Sons or King Gizzard, just hard rock

>King Gizzard

>>126998012 (OP)
heavy metal != metal, you just like hard rock

>>126998012 (OP)
For me, its French Motörhead

metal is just shortened way of saying heavy metal. The entire genre and its subgenres can be called heavy metal

>muh faeries

>>127000813
>brutal death metal is heavy metal

>>127000964
it is though, the entire genre is called heavy metal, heavy metal is both the name of the entire genre and a sub genre

>>126998012 (OP)
1986.

>reactionary
You keep using that word
I don't think you know what it means

>>126998012 (OP)
metal is the only genre of music still thriving (rap is not music)

you may not like metal, but every other genre that existed in the 70s/80s/90s is now dead, so fuck off with your wankery remarks because at least we are making music and YOU are doing NOTHING

OP is an actual retard and I don't think they listen to very much metal

ITT: metalheads hate good songwriting

>>126998012 (OP)
Probably after Pantera. Nothing against Dime. It's all Phil's fault.

>>127002197
I love Pantera but every metal band copying them really did a number on quality

>>127002078
>you may not like metal, but every other genre that existed in the 70s/80s/90s is now dead
which includes what genres

I like metal but I dont think it was ever truly cool. Not even in the early days

>>127002770
Soul, funk, folk, R&B, non-metal rock, jazz, showtunes, progressive rock none of those are made anymore at least not on major labels the only genres which are present there in the last 15 years are pop rap metal and country.

>>127002827
Anything in the "Heavy Metal" OG category was cool enough. Enough to pack stadiums and have groupies at least. lol. Thrash and death metal brought in a lot of cringe toughguy shit, but they were mostly joking. It was the retards who took all of those guys seriously that it went downhill.

>>Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me. Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies

This lyric is infinitely better if you know the story behind it.

>>126998012 (OP)
they took the worst parts of original metal and the worst parts of prog and made this ridiculous shitty monster

>>127002917
Everyone claims to know the story and most of them tell fake sensationalised versions involving the band getting in brawls.
The story as told by members of the band is that a skinhead called Ozzy a poof while he was walking to the studio so they made the song to vent.

>>127002078
Metal is only still "mainstream" because the old and tired bands had really good marketing. Nobody gives a fuck about new bands and old bands still being popular doesn't fucking mean anything.

>>127004745
there's countless metal festivals across the world (especially in europe) full of newer bands. it probably has to be the genre with the most concurrent festivals. i suggest you pipe down about things you know nothing about.

>reactionary nerds
explain???
