I love metal. Metal today sucks though. I hate the screaming. Slayer is about as screamy as I like. It's the same reason I hate mainstream rap these days. The lead singer/rapper puts on a facade. You don't have to scream like a demon from DOOM or talk about how tight your DEagle is to be hard. Wu-Tang was as hard as any rap group ever, but they were lyracists. Black Sabbath was harder, meaner, and grittier than any Lamb of God track could ever hope to be. The riffs are clouded in a haze of shitty guitar tone, and the singer sounds like a bad mock of Hellraiser. Complete shite. Hatebreed=GAY, LoG=Gay, Children of Bodom=queers. Listen to real metal. Slayer, the first four Metallica albums, Priest, Maiden, stuff that takes talent. Iron Maiden, now THAT is talent. Iron Maiden>any metal band you think is sweet.
