I tell you what I'm tired of arguing this so I'll throw in the towel and just say... It isn't the internets influence on music I have a problem with, but the free downloading of music that makes it harder for musicians to survive. (Not to incriminate myself, but I'm far from a saint in this area.) And to me the height of metal is rock songs with killer guitar riffs (Motley Crue: Shout at the Devil, Accept: Balls to the Wall) All the great metal artists historically got huge advances in $$$ to have top studio production time for their albums. I guarantee you Reign in Blood wouldn't sound half as good if they had been signed to some indie label like combat records. I also have a tendency to view underground metal with genres that led to its decline as an isolated niche genre for a small group of fans (black/death metal) or something more esoteric & experimental. Not that there is anything wrong with being a fan of these genres, but for myself personally, I can spend hours pouring over European influenced death metal albums, or black Viking pagan metal extra extra, until I actually find a song I want to listen to, while I could listen to almost every track on metallica's Kill em all over and over again. |
