See, this is exactly the thing. You know that I respect your opinion and would never call you false (despite the fact that you like some god-awful bands hahaha!-deathboy- wrote:as someone who has listened to metal since 1985, and every facet of metal one can possibly think of and many that most have never dreamed of, i think lamb of god or slipknot rank up there in the metal realm as deservedly as motley crue or manowar. manowar is worshipped as all things metal, yet to me are the biggest joke in the music world. but, i still accept them as metal. this new metallica album sucks. plain and simple. it can be called metal. it certainly is more metal than anything they have put out this decade. but it sucks. and ironically it also blows.
) so your point is valid. But, go talk to some 45 year old dude in germany who will say that lamb of god and slipknot are false, just like motley crue, and manowar is the truest of the true.Point is, there's never going to be an agreement on the issue. I will always feel as though Slipknot is not metal. Others will disagree. Whatever, it really doesn't bother me. If someone says "oh you like metal? Y'mean like slipknot?" I just roll my eyes. I'm not going to lynch them or tear them a new asshole or anything like that, I'll just reply with a curt "no. not like slipknot".
Point is, the new metallica album isn't very good.
