Metal Pet Peeves

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

This extends to music in general I suppose but people referring to bands with shortened names, "Seps" for Sepultura being a particularly shit one.

Cuntish. Fuck off.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Surely Led Zep gets a pass?? 

[Bürggermeister]

'tallica is surely legitimate to describe the cunts once they tried to turn their back on Metal?

  Just used it.

[Thorn]

Never minded 'Seps' myself, just a term of endearment really

A chap I hung around with in the mid 90s was a fanatic for Sepultura but his nick name was Horse. He tried getting us to call him Sep instead so of course we started just calling him Sap. He settled for Horse pretty quickly after that

A lad used to hang around in the same group as me before he moved to 'Murica listens to metal via Spotify at the gym. Only at the gym. And because I'm the only one left out of that group who still regularly listens to metal, he always sends me whichever recent "discoveries" have been thrust upon him via the algorithm, all excited about how great it is for pumping away at machines. Unsurprisingly it's invariably utter braindead shite, and the track he's just after sending me now, Buttman from the album The Shitpendables by Gutalax, is no exception 

So I suppose the peeve is being the resident metaller who has to entertain anyone else's sporadic forays into the shallowest parts of the pool. And no matter how many times you recommend them a quality version of the shite... they just come back with more different shite!!

[Sworntothecans]

Nothing worse than a normie recommending a "metal" band.
I've given up with recommendations. 

Gutalax are desperate. I enjoy the random daft grind bands sets on the the Obscene Extreme YouTube but fucking hell they're awful. They make the "Fat Lad with a guitar and laptop" pornogrind bands seem like Zappa.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I was certainly happier having never heard of them.

[Ducky]

I thought you were taking the piss with those names, but holy shit you weren't.

"Clear search history" here I come

Very good! Absolutely

[Mooncat]

Was at a local metal show at the weekend. Was a young band on who very nearly completed amateur band live peeve bingo all in the one set:

Singer who talked in pig grunt vocals between songs
Guitar players who didn't turn down volume between songs so it was huge buzzing at all times
Drummer who would randomly noodle and play fills between songs so everyone has to wait until he's done to move onto the next song
Referring to the crowd as 'Edmonton' despite the fact they're a local band and have never played anywhere else

All they needed for bingo was to try and get a circle pit going with the 20 people there (singer included of course), and for the guitar players to have set their pints of beer on their (borrowed) amps.

The fact that for some reason there's 2 versions of Repugnant - Epitome of Darkness and Spotify has the poorer version. The vocals have a kind of echo effect on the version on Spotify which is very grating when you're used to the other version where the vocals are much clearer and sound more powerful.

The fact I'm certain I own this lp on vinyl and cannot find my copy

Spotify deleted and reuploaded RevBiz - In the Rectory..(German Version) a while ago and the quality is shocking to the point it even glitches out during Cirith Ungol.
