I am seriously surprised by how many times AC/DC and Lemmy Kilminster show up in these threads. And mostly positive mentions, too. P.S. I'm a fan.

^ don't be so happy DB... people use those names when they want us to know how open minded they are even though they can't understand the idea of some metal being at least 10% prog.... So they go: "Don't get me wrong. I love true honest hard rock/metal bands like AC/DC, who knew about the brain limitations of their fans who are addicts to a very infantile version of prog...."
So just a few are true fans of Bon and Lemmy as you are. Those positive mentions you red at times seem to be just like attempts at being politically correct.

^ that's perfectly normal, since the artist was added just recently. It will subside quickly, just with most of the other prog related additions.

Aw, c'mon man. Nobody ever said that. If you don't like prog metal, it's fine with us.

Rocktopus, if you reject all kinds of metal, and just stick in
your own little avant garde world without even giving any modern bands
a chance, wouldnt that epidomize being close minded? I mean we all have
our personal tastes, but it's almost impossible to hate every single
forms of music except one or two subgenres. I called some of you close
minded, because I see some of the avant garde/zheul lovers raise their
heads above everyone else and say "our tastes are better than yours!
Metal is for weak minded fools".
You also say I have no patience, when I joined this site I was
stuck in the seventies, and if someone were to send me a basket of dog
crap labeled progressive, I probably would have eaten it, given how
much I loved the music. Here you are though saying I have no patience,
yet you dont have the patience, nor tolerance to look past some
distorted guitars, or some harsh vocals, you would rather listen to a
bunch of guys chant in a made uplanguage, to a made up religion (dont
get me wrong, I was impressed with MDK). I'm trying to keep this as
little insulting I can, but I can help but call out some hypocracy here. |
- Stick to your little avant garde world. That's funny! And don't worry, you're not insulting at all. That's impossible when you have no idea what you're talking about. It feels more like you're giving me compliments. What is being openminded to you anyway? Is it equal to being openminded to prog and all its sub-genres?
