I did use a sticky-out tongue to show that it was all in fun.

Don't get me wrong Cert. It's not only about splattering a flaming comment on the thread to deeply explain our likes or dislikes upon Metallica based on retrospectives, facts or grounds. Think it's all about respectable opinions wheter they're possitive or negative and never offensive.
 
I love the crunch and vicious harshness of Metallica, but to me they don't belong here. I believe there's a place for them within the warps of heavy metal or whatever you wanna call it. They ain't prog, that's for sure.
 
Before performing my part of Collab in the PA, I'm like many other around here, a voice and an opinion. The tag I'm entitled to, means nothing to a personal matter of perspective. And you should now better than that for all the seniority over the PA that back you up. So I rather believe that with your comment you were just being moronic instead of sarcastic! Tongue
 
Cheers amigo!
 
 
 
Oh, a sticky-out tongue just shows you were having fun, right?
 
I have a whole week's seniority over you, so shut the f**k up, OK. Tongue
 
Oh... so that means we're no longer friends? Cry

You see Avant? It was all calculated! Tongue
 
Yes, we have to praise our members' restraint this time. Metallica never got the album of the week unlike all other controversial additions!

As I see you're online again Cloud - there's some work for you as a collab waiting. Check the progfreak charts; there's a few artists in our part of these that needs checking out and some voting ;-)

Not trying to show who's right or wrong since I'm not the one to judge anyone thoughts or beliefs. Is based upon honesty that I dare to affirm that Metallica, a heavy metal band (filed under that genre ever since I recall), are anything you guys wish, but not based a prog rock basis.
 
I hate to repeat myself but I underline, this is not a matter of narrowminded stupidity, it's a matter of perspective. Period.
 
Cheers

Where were the people complaining now when this went on?

And even after the addition when people complain in here, the line of reasoning rarely ventures beyond the lines of "Metallica aren't progressive because I think so", "It's obvious that Metallica aren't progressive" od the classic "they don't belong here".

As when the possible addition was first discussed, there are no arguments, just statements.

Is it really that hard to find a line of reasoning and to actually analyze a little to be able to post some opinions based on a more factual foundation - rather than throwing knee jerk reactions around?
 
Comes with "post controversial addition territory" OlavWink The thread is almost frazzled and the circle long complete. The reviews in the main have been very good too I might add.

^This whole thread was a bad idea (no offense intended to original poster).
It was obvious straight away where this thread would lead.
Someone was banned over this thread and we have the same unsubstantiated arguments happening again and again.. just a vicious cycle really.
It's probably just best people leave their post "yes, there were a great/soso/bad inclusion" to the site, rather than stirring up more flames and arguing over their perceived lack of progressiveness.
