The Ironic Metal Thread

And now, because I don't want this to become the Iron Maiden thread...

The Lord Weird Slough Feg - "Shakedown at the Six" - from Ape Uprising

Not really sure how someone cool enough to be down with Slaine from 2000 AD, using the name of the necromancer from that series for his band, could produce such uninspiring, derivative, bog-standard metal as this, but as the pope once said, it is what it is. And what it is, is poor.

^ actually surprisingly lame.

I like Helloween with Andi Deris at the microphone but they have a lot of really crappy songs. This song is one that I pretty much always avoid. I literally haven't listened to it for years. Until now. Ugh. The worst thing about the band is that almost every album has at least one song as daft and annoying as this. Garbage grade power metal.

I have a hard time finding songs that I don't like with bands that I like. That's fortunate, but it makes me **** at this thread.

I'm pretty sure that most of these are far from ironic.

Ironic in the sense that you're not posting what you believe to be the best metal tracks, that's all I meant.

Anteater recommended this band. I was not as impressed as he was.

With a name like that, take a wild stab in the dark as to what subgenre this is....

Oh ok so you just don't know what irony is cool. A lot of people don't.

Leave me alone.

Of course I know what irony is: it's like goldy and silvery.

Tell you what, Frown: why not post something rather than just pull apart my choice of words? Huh? That sound like a plan?

Annyway... proof that not every metal band that comes out of Scandinavia is necessarily great.
