Controversial Metal Opinions

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Bonham was a shite drummer and if he didn't choke on his own barf he wouldn't be regarded how he is.

The average person who enjoys Zeppelin has no idea how Bonham died.

[Eoin McLove]

Was he stabbed to death by Varg Vikernes?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yup. Varg got zero tolerance when it comes to immigrant songs.

Diabolus in Musica and undisputed attitude are both good albums.

Love Undisputed Attitude. Diabolus has its moments I guess, but it's far more junk than good.

Always loved the melody of UA- totally different from any Slayer album in that sense with the possible exception of Show no Mercy. Diabolus was the first Slayer album I ever heard so will always have a soft spot for it.

By that I mean his death brought an undeserved reverence.

He was obviously a technically sound player, but like Nico McBrain his style is just painful to listen to.

Yeah have always loved Undisputed attitude and as for Diabolus about 2 ok songs rest is total muck!

Metal in the 90s was just as good as the 80s

[Eoin McLove]

I wouldn't consider that controversial.  The early nineties gave us the second wave of black metal,  some incredible doom metal and doom death.  Being too young at the time to dive very far into a lot of it and merely dipping the odd toe in here and there,  the more mainstream end of things,  though often maligned now,  was great at the time.

I would phrase it differently. Metal came out in the 90's which was the equal of the best stuff of the 80's.

However, overall, the level of dross which came out in the 90's greatly outweighs that which shat on the 80's. When the 90's got bad, as it frequently did, it was abominable.

Let's say the bottom of the barrel was further down in the 90's.

That's probably  a better way of putting it alright 

Although I know the older heads here would have no time for nu-metal but it was my entrance into metal so I still have a soft spot for it, even if there's very few albums I'd still listen to

the 90's was the best time for metal!

[Kurt Cocaine]

the 90's was the best time for metal!

Yeah, if you didn't grow up in the 80's.....

[Juggz]

Because you could still enjoy all the great 80's metal all the way through the 90's
