    Aye, more black thrash gigs are whats needed. Absu and Razor of Occam in November in the Academy 2, now that's what I'm talking about!

    Thought the other bands were deadly too particularly Neutron Hammer and Ground of Ruin (immense drumming performance), thought Scythian could have had better sound considering how tight the sound was for the previous two bands. Good stuff from them nonetheless.

    Back to things I don't like about metal. A general one really is Ireland not being an inclusion on bands touring schedule (applies to not only metal of course), fair enough it's not economic etc. but the bands that do come here always seem to be honestly appreciative of the crowd response. A recent one being Pentagram, great crowd in for them. I guess it's down to what matters more to the bands themselves, their fans or their bank manager.

    personally i dislike the people associated with it, always appear somewhat depressed and aggressive when in fact they are all quite gay!:P

    Even major bands have gone to the UK this year and not Ireland. Slayer for instance, are touring the UK either currently or in the near future, but they arent coming here AFAIK

    Aye but then again are Slayer that great live these days? I can't back that up myself, just going on what I've heard. Anyone have any input on this?

    Clutch are one band that immediately spring to mind anyway, going to see them in London at the beginning of November with Kylesa in support. They're even playing in Colchester of all places but aren't coming over here, I'd think about being a concert promoter for one-night only just to get them over...

    Things I hate about metal.

    1/. Stereotypical metal fans. You see this missing link at most metal gigs. These guys must literally be, the toughest guys in the WHOLE world. Wow don't mess with him, he wears spikes and likes SLAYYYYYURRRRRGGGGHHHH. He can also drink loads of alcohol and be EVEN MORE obnoxious. This attitude is fine at 15. But add ten years on, its embarrassing.

    2/. The tendency to forget the song as a whole. Some bands these days seem to be all about technicality. This for me is great...in context. But when its just constant speed/technical prowess in favour of a well written, well put together song, it grows stale, fast.

    3/. The generic bands that seem to populate the tv channels.

    *This just in..."Metallica? Yeah they've actually already happened, hmm?you didnt hear? seriously...it was in the eighties, spanning into the nineties and noughties, HUGE TOURS, millions of records sold. Maybe its time to TRY something new rather than recycling someone elses songs*
    Couldn't agree more, especially with point number 1. These fans annoy me, and paint a very bad picture of fans of the genre in general.

    The insane switches in time signatures in the drums.

    Cradle of filth are masters at just completely changing the dynamic of a song in milliseconds.

    I HATE that.



    I absolutely adore Cradle, But lads, give me a heads up when your about to literally modulate to a new song all together. I also think its this reason they don't have that many fans in Ireland. We like our metal simple with true form. No hurdy gurdy so to speak!

    I would have to agree with ya there!!! way too many metal heads take themselves way too seriously!!! What ever happened to getting ****faced at a gig and meeting new folks, instead of who looks the most metal or what band shirt youve on etc.

    A lot of prog bands change tempo very suddenly, I quite like it, Pain of Salvation are very good at it.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    That's all well and goodto just say, but when you think a band has great potential but they have some aspect that you don't like. e.g. The vocals, alot of people say they would listen to some metal bands if it weren't for the vocals so to them it's more of a case of wasted potential than just not liking it.

    If that makes sense...

    The only thing I dislike about metal is the snobbery that sometimes arises between the subgenres. I am guilty of it myself at times, but I reckon I've copped on a bit in recent times.

    The thing i hate is in the majority of death metal, the incomprehensible "singing" (growling). The music is going 100mph but the singing is slow, it does sound right.

    Oh labels.

    I love Tool, one of my favourites.
