System of a Down (SOAD) - Any fans there???

[Sarge 2.0]

SOAD is the only metal band that I like.
Metal sucks, big time.

Guh.

You used to be kinda cool n'stuff.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

I don't think whoever wrote it was serious.

Whoever wrote it seems to suffer from Dissociative Personality Disorder.

 

[Mr. Thing]

Guitar Hero will not fulfil it's potential until they can finally get some LED ZEPPELIN licensed.


"Oh my gawd, I'm living the DreEEem! I feel like I'm IN The Pretenders!!!.....Now I'm Jammin' with the ALLMAN BROTHERS!"

lol

Hey, the Allman Brothers are good ****. Whipping Post. Damn. Great stuff.

 

[Warhammer]

Guh.

You used to be kinda cool n'stuff.

I'm sorry.
I just hate death and black metal.

Now if we're talking 80's metal, then I'm a fan.

Well, wait, so I'm looking on Wiki, and I see this called "nu-metal".
It lists bands that I like in that category like:

- Linkin Park
- Blindside
- Korn

....does it count as metal or just alternative?

I think Korn qualifies but the others I don't think they count.

Agreed.

 

[Addendum]

SOAD isn't metal.

Now if we're talking 80's metal, then I'm a fan.

What kind of 80s metal? The glam stuff that "claimed" to be metal? The thrash scene? Napalm Death creating grindcore? The real underground doom scene that started up? The New Wave of British Heavy Metal? The power metal stuff that started up? The Florida Death Metal scene? The handful of bands that started black metal?

[Dodger]

The only song of SOAD that I like, no love is the Legends of Zelda song they have. That song, is pretty *****ing but anything zelda is *****ing.


"Now Link, fill up your hearts! So you can fill your sword up with poweeeeeer!"

Other than that one song, they suck I mean they suck hard. I've heard some sucky music in my life but they, they take the sucky cake. My god!

 

[Addendum]

Genre(s)Alternative metal

And yet, SOAD isn't in the Encyclopaedia Metallum

And yet, SOAD isn't in the Encyclopaedia Metallum

that's because they're not metal.

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I always thought they were okay, then I saw them live. They stunk it up.

Yes, they count as 'metal' as there are so many sub-genres in Metal. Nu-Metal was born out of the collaboration between Anthrax (definitely Metal) and Public Enemy who brought us the ever-so-awesome (imo, at least) BRING THE NOISE. That song brought Metal to a whole new level. Not a big fan of rap but Metal + Rap =

Speaking of sub-genres. I'm not a fan of Death Metal at all. That's just TOO much noise. That said, I think the drumming in that genre is pretty gnarly. I can definitely see Animal drumming for a Death Metal band.

I always thought they were okay, then I saw them live. They stunk it up.

SoaD? Not a fan of them as a live act either.

 

[DBella]

Now if we're talking 80's metal, then I'm a fan.

You mean Glam Rock? Hehe!

I can forgive Metal for Glam Rock, for Power Ballads, for going acoustic (Yay to Tesla's Five Men Acoustical Jam)... but not for KISS' Disco attempt with I Was Made For Lovin' You. WTF?! Don't like their I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night either. :

 

[DBella]

that's because they're not metal.

And yet many Metal publications I've read consider them to be.

Bella reads "Metal Publications"

I like the pics in Metal Edge mags. They have some lovely (by "lovely" I mean bad ugly) pics of the bands I like.

 

[Warhammer]

Oh...

Agreed.

No, stuff like Slayer, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc.

And yet, SOAD isn't in the Encyclopaedia Metallum

that's because they're not metal.

Then what the hell is it?
It is metal, but there is like 13 different types of metal.



Too many damn sub-genres.

I love that song.
I really like Public Enemy and Anthrax.
...and I agree, Death metal sucks.

You mean Glam Rock? Hehe!

No, I mean bands like Slayer, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc. (Even though some of these are from 70's)

Not Motley Crue, Cinderella, and all that shyit.

Spoiler

Thank God for multi-quote!

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Not Motley Crue

Dude they have a lot of crap but tell me you at least like Shout At the Devil and Looks That Kill!

Those two are Rock.

 

[Warhammer]

Of course.
Those are some good ass songs. Sadly, those and maybe/sometimes Dr. Feelgood are the only songs that I like from them.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

I like the pics in Metal Edge mags. They have some lovely (by "lovely" I mean bad ugly) pics of the bands I like.

I once bought an Issue of "Circus" because they had this "article" ( If you can call some dropouts retelling of a concert peppered with the words "rocking" and "awesome" an article) on Soundgarden.
I seriously was never the same again, I couldn't glance at "Kerrang!" or "Metal Edge" magazines without an instinctive shudder shooting across my spine.
maybe they have gotten better but back in the early 90's metal publications made your IQ drop from just casually glancing at the infinite amount of guitar and amp ads.

 

[DBella]

No, stuff like Slayer, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc.

I approve. Scorpions' alright. They've got some rockin' songs. Do you like Deep Purple?

Then what the hell is it?

Exactly. You know your Metal. Is 13 the actual number though? I didn't even bother to count.

I love that song.
I really like Public Enemy and Anthrax.
...and I agree, Death metal sucks.

Once in a blue moon, when something hits me in the head (actually... that happens more often than "once in a blue moon" but anyway...), I would actually listen to a whole Death metal track.

No, I mean bands like Slayer, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc. (Even though some of these are from 70's)

Not Motley Crue, Cinderella, and all that shyit.

Once again, I like the bands you've listed. And Motley Crue isn't that bad. Don't like Cinderella though. Even their name doesn't sound 'rock' or 'metal'. :

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Of course.
Those are some good ass songs. Sadly, those and maybe/sometimes Dr. Feelgood are the only songs that I like from them.

Yeah. They were cool when they were trying to be evil and shocking (by 80's standards).
The problem was when they went all b00gie-w00gie with "Girls, Girls, Girls", "You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come) and "Smokin' In the Boys Room" and of course Ballady with "Without You" which is BARF.

If you can ignore the cheeziness and the fact that Vince Neil just started singing the exact same Army march-"I don' know but I been Tol'...." type melody over every single song, then DR. Feelgood is a pretty cool riff.

Other than I like the slide part in the lesser known "Primal Scream" off of the Decade of Decadence album, but again, they're like Rage Against The Machine.....cool drums, cool guitar, whiny b**** moron on vocals.
