"Most of the worst subcultures in the world (gangs, cults, internet forums) thrive on accepting the lowest members of the social food chain. The fact that you were insufferable to anyone but metalheads doesn’t mean that there’s anything good about metal, it just means that dweebs tolerate other dweebs out of necessity."

Thats funny cause I was just thinking how nice it was at the F.F. show the other night to see so many people I know for a change, instead of being my typical loner self at other genre shows. Thanks for accepting me as a fellow "dweeb".
Ha!


Edit; Do you think XY SATAN will be mad they used his picture at the top of the article? - Wed, 6 Dec 2006 9:07pm

This made me the opposite of angry. I loved every minute of that article.

The metal genre is home to some technically talented musical virtuosos.

I have to laugh when I hear metalheads complain that some of the best pure musicians of our time are being ignored and neglected by the ivory-tower establishment just because they play in the metal genre. Here, it’s simple: imagine if William Butler Yeats only wrote poems about dogs eating peanut butter, and if he used only the same fifteen or twenty words in every single poem. People who espouse the shredding merits of metal guitarists and the double-bass technique of metal drummers crack me the fuck up. Maybe they also think books are better when they have lots of pages.



I like metal, but I’m not a nerd or an idiot.

In fact, you are the worst kind of nerd or idiot: the kind that doesn’t know he or she is a nerd or idiot. - Wed, 6 Dec 2006 9:37pm

He comes off as a HUGE hypocrite to me, bashing on how close-minded metalheads are, yet he refuses to realize that music is ENTIRELY subjective, and that his opinions, no matter how strong they may be, hold no water again concrete fact; the fact that listening to any kind music does not make you a moron. But of course, trying to change his mind would be a complete waste of time, seeing how ignorantly and stubbornly poised he is in his position. So who's the bigger "nerd"? Someone who likes a certain genre or someone who bitches their opinion on the internet (and yes I realize this makes me sound like a hypocrite, but it's what the internet's for isn't it?). - Fri, 8 Dec 2006 4:59pm

I can't see why that article would make anyone mad. Although if the guy had targetted black metal... I've seen some of those guys get pretty testy over less.

It was a boring as hell read though. I wondered if the guy got paid by the word.


more going for him than some shitty website. poo! - Thu, 14 Dec 2006 10:21pm
