This new G-Eazy track is really really good. Everyone should listen to it, really got me at the ending. Makes you think.
G-Eazy - Opportunity Cost

I remember watching a VH1 Behind the Music () a couple years ago where Hetfield was talking about fan backlash. (Paraphrasing) "We used to hear, 'You sellouts,' from the fans, 'We're done supporting you,'" He was talking about the fucking music video to One. Not only does that demonstrate general metalhead neckbeardery, it perfectly encapsulates how oblivious these guys were to outside opinions. I mean just look at this shit:
That is fucking insane. How do you bring yourself to care about the whims of your old fanbase after you crush the buildings like that?
Don't chime in on shit you don't know about.Metal fans suck in general and have some of the lowest music IQs amongst fans of any genre. AJFA is a hard fucking record. Even the Black Album isn't some pussy album, I'll never understand the "sell out" calls for that shit when it features some of their hardest riffs.
Don't chime in on shit you don't know about.
It's not about how 'hard' something is. It's about the structure, the composition. And The Black Album was a simplified version of their previous work. Can't blame them, they lost their major writing talent in Cliff and only had so much time left before they became mediocre anyway. Metallica was never the smartest band though. They had occasional flashes of brilliance here and there (Orion, etc). But they were basically a band with a knack for bridging NWOBHM to the hardcore punk audience.
That article proves what exactly. :trollbron:
and metal fans smell worse than other music fans.
Goddamn, clearance section at Amoeba Music + nostalgia is a dangerous combination. I haven't bought CD's in forever
-I have a feeling this Backbone album will be terrible, but I gotta complete my Dungeon Family collection.
-NERD album sounds weird compared to the one I'm familiar with (I think the import is all live instruments?)
-I've been meaning to listen to this Nappy Roots album for like 10 years
-"Georgia" still bangs
-did Busta really think the world was gonna end? Like, for real for real?
-The Streets "Could Well Be In" is still strangely one of my favorite storytelling tracks
-I wonder if Bubba still living off that Ms. New Booty money
Can you imagine PD at a house show? He would die from the stench. Then some crust punks would wander in looking for beer and he'd resurrect just to die again.

rap fans and metal fans smell the exact same when they're at concerts, like weed.
it always seemed so juvenile to me that there's been this divide/animosity between fans of metal and fans of rap. they do the exact same shit as the other camp does.
you have not seen tangents until you watch this video
"I think that the world can be saved through design. What's the most distasteful thing you can do? Kill someone. So to have good taste is the opposite of that."
No lie, the nicest smelling rap crowd I've been in: Lupe Fiasco.
Had to stop the video and run it back like 3 times after that. The moderators reaction lmaoooooo."I think that the world can be saved through design. What's the most distasteful thing you can do? Kill someone. So to have good taste is the opposite of that."

The whole thing is amazing.
lol, PD havent you been warned about sniffing people in public?
Kendrick does need to stop yelling so much though and put out a goddamn record before people forget him.
Metallica was never the smartest band though.

No, that's country and rap.
Focused on racial and social issues? Check.
I didn't say they were both on the right side of social issues, Ninja. Just that they both had their take on them...
Like, the KKK used to be very political.
GOAT crowd out here was the last Rock the Bells; i wasn't around the technique/JMT section, but ended up with the WU/Native Tongue heads so every corner i went, weed of varying quality was being offered & shit was chill. i was unconcerned about scents nor attire, as it was a concert.
hahaha just bustin' balls
okay i haven't fucked with country since i lived in the south, but i gotta say on behalf of the dusty crowd: i know my Cash/etc is a long gone era, but most of what i heard on the radio was still pop with a southern twang. it's like, not even remotely the same genre, and felt like it lacked identity. assuming you find that a fair assessment, has anything changed?
The "Alt-Country" scene tends to have more of that darker country vibe to it all. But even they go poppy sometimes.
I enjoy RATM's music, acknowledging that they had a hand to play in influencing some shitty music doesn't diminish my enjoyment.i really can't follow the logic here: as hip hop fans, most of ya'll got dudes (living and dead) in your top 10 who did classic shit, and then someone jacked that beat/style/whatever and created some grade-A fuckery. this isn't the OG's fault; you created a beautiful garden, and some swaggerless knucklehead came in and said "yeah this is nice, but the world needs more compost."
this was you? i dug this man
Yeah, thanks dude!
Wouldn't rate them over RATM but "Show Me How to Live" and "Shadows on The Sun" (s/o to Collateral) are great songs.
This. Album only had two duds in Last Remaining Light and Getaway Car, everything else was fuego (except for Like a Stone, which I'm lukwarm about :lupe). Their first is arguably the GOAT supergroup album, the other two have some quality gems.Audioslave's first album is better than anything RATM did, let's be real. RATM has many great songs but their albums are inconsistent. Audioslave is Cornell in his prime, it's almost a Soundgarden record. And if it was I'd rate it third behind Superunkown and Badmotorfinger.
Also cosigned. Soundgarden is better than Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but I really don't care for them outside of some choice songs.I also like Audioslave over RATM and Soundgarden. Grunge sucks though, except for The Melvins and Alice in Chains
One of the biggest reasons I enjoyed that album was Morello's riffage. That wasn't what they were going for in those two tracks so that's why I rate them the way I do. To each his own though, breh.I love Getaway Car and Last Remaining Light. One of my favorite things about early Audioslave was their blues and almost jazzy tracks. Both those songs are in that vein.
