The cheer up thread.

I mostly hate metal these days and find most of it to be overdone, painfully boring, often poorly produced and comically bad but I like babymetal cos their actually doing something a bit different and not pretending to be so serious like a lot of those ****s seem to do, also the production is pretty tight too. The only other metal band I can stomach without wanting to burn down a guitar shop is My Ruin, Tairrie B kicks *** and has a better scream than most of the tryingtoohard males.

I'd listen to Su-metal over Olly Sykes or any of the others any day. I don't tend to listen to metal much, because really it just got a bit boring, aside from Skindred and one or two others.

Metal, like action films, is better if from the 80s or before.

Yeah totally, I just got so painfully bored of hearing distorted guitars, and often in the same ways too to the point I can barely listen to them. It wouldnt be so bad if they distorted other types of acoustic instruments and mixed it up so there is more variety, and thats actually something id like to hear - I know you can get electric violins, id love to hear brass instruments put through amps somehow too. One metal album I can still enjoy is Godflesh's "Streetcleaner" album because the central instrument was actually the bass guitar (which alone made it different since you barely even notice bass guitars as a distinctive instrument in most metal) and the lead guitar stuff was mostly weird high-end experimental noise stuff. Thats why I stick with electronic music genres these days, as it has a wider palette of sounds to use while still retaining the heaviness I like, plus it helps that technology pushes sound design further too - so it might be a lot longer before I get sick of that stuff too hahah

I'd listen to Su-metal

I love that Su's default expression is basically ._.

Like even in Sakura Gakuin:







"Trivium's alright I guess..."



"Beetlejuice was alright I suppose..."



"What's a Skrillex?"


And just because:

[Psychosplodge]

Trivium are bloody awful. I've had misfortune to see them twice a decade apart and they've not improved. Also had a rather low turnout for the headline slot at bloodstock last year.

[eldargal]

Babymetal are adorbsable.

[CoffeeGrunt]

One day Su will find a sufficiently metal act to take a picture with, and maybe smile or something. :P

She liked Metallica:

Haha, I like how in the Metallica pic it's the others who are ._. and Su is smiling. Perhaps it's to balance things out? :P
