Unpopular Music Opinions

well, anyway, it's an opinion. and in my opinion i like Nu Metal, alot of it really has that kind of groove that i can get into . i guess it's a preference thing

as for who i connect with more, i felt much more with Soundgarden, especially on a album like Badmotorfinger than i have listening to Nirvana.

and Foo Fighters, i can agree they're not the most original band, but being original doesn't always mean being good. they're good at what they do, and that's better than trying to be original and ending up with a ****ty sound.

with that said, a few more


-Nu Metal is more groove dependent than technically, which may be the reason for some of the hate; some people just dont know how to get into a groove :D.

-not saying every groove music fan is supposed to like it, it's all about preference really.

-"originality" is overrated. not saying being bland is better, but you can be an interesting and enjoyable group without having to change the whole music industry.

-although if you can do both, that's great :D

-Pearl Jam's album Ten is pretty "meh" to me. i much more like their other album Yield

-Synyster Gates is a really good guitarist, albeit a little sloppy.

-Limp Bizkit would've actually been pretty good if Fred Durst hadn't ****ed it all up

-Giant Steps > anything Miles Davis has ever done

-Stone Temple Pilots' musicians are very good and highly underrated

-BOB MARLEY ISN'T THE ONLY REGGAE ARTIST OUT THERE!!

-I'm really not into Dream Theater, but Take The Time is a great track. the rest of their stuff can **** off.

-Cynic need to be a hell of alot more recognized in the metal community

-Billie Joe Armstrong is a good guitarist, if you don't believe me look up the songs "At The Library" and "The Judges Daughter"
 
Yeah, Opeth is probably the best band to start with if you want to get used to the growl. He sings just as much (if not more) than growls, and when he busts that out it usually takes the song to another level. It definitely helped me appreciate it.

I loved metal in high school, but sadly that included the horrendous nu metal fad. It fell out of my favor and only in the past year or so have I been getting back into it. I have a big thing for music that creates a lot of atmosphere, so black metal definitely gets it for me.

I always show fans of all types of music these guys:

The most Asian metal band you will ever listen to, I promise. Their progressions and overall style is covered with distortion, obviously, but if you listen closely and have some familiarity with Asian music it is clearly VERY Asian. Not to mention the erhu. I love it.

This song shows off the erhu:

How can you not respect a metal band that can pull this off:

Agreedo.

I miss the days when music had you know, showmanship. Whatever happened to that? Now it's just a bunch of hipster chodes in a constant state of looking disinterested and trying to be all "simple" in their fashion and mannerisms despite making a sh*tload of money off of their crappy music so it wouldn't hurt them to spend a little money on making their live shows look professional.

Because honestly I have no interest in going to live shows if the only difference is that the music is more sloppy, more irritatingly loud and a bunch of obnoxious c*nts are constantly in my space.
