If there's one thing I despise in music fandom, it's how everyone likes the fringe groups, but turns on them when they become popular. For some reason, when a person's kid sister starts to listen to a group he/she once considered "anti-establishment", that person says "they sold out". When, in reality, it is the person that has sold out to an image of themselves as that fringe group rocker. Same thing happened to Nirvana. Same thing happened to Phil Collins.

    It's a shame, really.
    ok, now that was funny.

    and yeah i was going to say
    claiming a liking for hip hop and not liking the wu tang clan is like liking metal and not liking metallica
    I HATE metallica.
    WTF are you retarded? 99% of metal fans hate metallica..

    first off Kill em all was the best album they produced. It was the most thrash, the most raw.
    Second off people didn't start hating them that much with the black album. Everyone started hating them when they started suing the fans that got them were they are. They seem to forget how they became popular (bootleg tapes).
    Metallica is a group of old losers (other than the new bassist he is cool as hell). James sounds the gayest he has ever sounded. Not that I have a problem with being gay, I just don't want to hear a metal song with a gay sounding man. I love priest, and I don't care if Rob is gay.

    Few years back on some shaolin forum, RZA came on in defense (I think of Shi Yang Ming), and basically made such a twat of himself. Every second word he typed was some kind of street slang profanity.

    I wonder if I can still find the link to that

    I hated them because they dumbed it down. I really, really liked ... And Justice For All from a technical perspective. It was really interesting and IMHO at their musical peak, full of interesting half beats and tempo changes. It just didn't do it for me like their earlier stuff, nothing to do with jumping on a bandwagon. And I kind of resented them because obviously they had the ability but they seemed to be repressing it to be more accessible. I didn't even mind their ballady stuff if they wanted to do that, like One and Fade To Black. Those songs had wider public appeal than their average song. But to dumb down their bread and butter type songs, the ones that had built their following, meh. They lost me.

    Can we all agree though, St. Anger is arguably the worst thing to hit the metal community since the death of Randy Rhodes?

    yes. st. anger, garage inc, reload and load, were so awful i almost spiked my ipod like i just scored the game winning touchdown int he superbowl. someone gave me the albums for free bc i stopped listening to them after the black album. but as i get older i become more open minded to things and figured i would try to appreciate their latter day music and try not to compare it to the earlier stuff. i have thrown those cds away. how did they go from albums like kill em all, ride the lightning and master of puppets to this crap. they covered a bob seager song for ef's sake. anyway, in my mind they broke up shortly after ...and justice due to creative differences and then the record company released the black album by compiling b sides. whether it is the truth or not is irrelevant bc that is how i am choosing to see it. its truthiness at its finest.
