I just can't get past the goofy delivery anymore. The 'cookie monster' vocals, the uniform 'chugga-chugga' riffs.... it's just so bombastic and theatrical, it kills me.

there's a lot of difference in the "chugga chugga" riffs between one band and the other, and the soloing modes, and the chord progressions/

I dunno, every singer's "cookie monster" vocals sound different to me, Chuck Schuldiner's is totally different from James Tardy's.

Then again, I'm a tr00 kvlt metalhead myself.

Mebbe you should listen to more "hipster" metal like Krallice, Torche, Intronaut, Isis, Baroness.

I can't understand how people take it seriously either but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying it. I don't think very many of the bands you just mentioned took themselves super-seriously either for that matter, except maybe Emperor and Dissection.

Today, a wise man said to me
"The Ramones are the worst fucking band ever. The only band worse then the Ramones is KISS. KISS are absolute shit."
and I agreed fully and wholly with all of my heart.

KISS are ****, but hey, at least the Ramones have Blitzkreig Bop...?

Haha, allright, I'll just name one name; Tool. They have really brilliant compositions. You could argue if it's useful covering them with loads of noise. I'm still not convinced about that either. But the music that goes along with/sits behind the noise is just as good as or, in the case of Tool, loads better than most music.

I like most Tool besides Aenima - which is just a pretentious load of horse bollocks
