I'm a metal-head and proud (indie, albums, Metalhead, Slipknot)

[Comus]

Now, for those of you who know my tastes that might seem either very sensible or completely odd depending on what you've been paying attention to. But no, one part of me is a total metal head, when I heard a well executed and well timed blast beat and a riff that can crush skulls I get a flurry in my nether-regions.

I think good metal albums "crush" and "destroy" I use the word "br00tal" I can often find black metal vocals soothing and most importantly, I'm elitist to a fault.

Dimmu Borgir? Fuck off! Give me Drudkh any day, don't want any of your girly shite!. I detest all forms of nu-metal and find the only thing heavy about slipknot to be their makeup.

However what makes me proud to be a metal-head is that I don't solely listen to metal, infact I very rarely listen to metal, I very rarely discuss metal and I most certainly do not hate anyone simply because they don't like metal. What makes me proud is that I'm different from the simple minded metal-head, what makes me proud is that I can stand above them and say! I LOVE FOLK MUSIC... HA!

What makes me proud is that I know that an unnacompanied acoustic guitar can be so much heavier than a 5-man metal ensemble, corpse paint and all (although mix the two and then you've got something pretty damn kvlt).

But you know what makes me prouder than anything? Knowing that I'm better, better than you; the person who listens to only metal, and better than you; the person that wouldn't ever dream of touching it.

Who else is a metal-head and proud?

A true metalhead.

I always wished I could get into the whole scene but so many of the fans just flat out suck. (not including you in that comus, but a good deal of mh's)

Concerts are the worst, if I wanted to get pushed around and beaten on with dark music being played I would bring my stereo somewhere and start a fight. I think I would even go to more of those concerts if the entire front 50 rows weren't one big mosh pit.

A total self-absorbance coupled with great boredom and a huge ego.

Metal pretty much sucks.

Just one question, do you actually own the shirt in your avatar?


When it comes to metal, I can be sort of arrogant to some people when they say they like Slipknot or Korn, or say something else I would find, and I use this word lightly, blasphemous. But in the end, if you condemn the music others listen to, that just gives them room to condemn you.

I say, try to bite your tongue and let others listen to ****ty music. More metal for me. Ah haha!

Well I like Indie music and folk so I'm better than you Seriously Comus, c'mon... you can't expect everyone to like metal. A lot of it is very angry and some of us can't identify with it. I like you Comus, but that is just an arrogant post.

Firstly I like Indie and Folk too, secondly I don't expect everyone to like metal, I just don't like people dismissing it. Thirdly the arrogance of the post is completely intentional.

I've seen you dismiss 'Indie' music simply because it has an 'indie' sound...
