BASED take, worst thing ever happened to metal, im no wizard but I predicted this, the loudest voices get amplified, and the combination of streaming plataforms and lockdown makes everyone stick in their lanes, and sac their friends for money and clout, it happened to every influencer and of course spilled into metal eventually.
remember when those easily-offended-well-thinking-politically-correct-concerned-bourgeoise-right-wing-conservative-think-about the-chirldren-mothers-with-shiity-haircut (the ancestor of Karens) tried to cancel HeavyMetal during the 80s ? Seems those old hags have been replaced by even-more-easily-offended-Zoomer-entitled-Femcells-basement-dweller-with-shitty-haircut suffering of main character syndrome. About time GenerationX tries to fix the world...
You touched on part of the problem with modern metal without even realising it. You said you're in your room and ready to make an album? So where's your band? Wheres your drums and instruments. Metal should be made by people who sought each other out, practiced together, wrote songs together, gigged together to hone their craft, and then when they were ready they recorded together. Not someone sitting in their room playing all the instruments on a computer, using AI to help them write, and then putting their finished song on spotify, then sitting back and waiting for subscribers. That's whats killing metal for me. When bands didn't have money to go into the studio before, they sold their shit, they got jobs, they borrowed, the did what ever they had to because its the life they wanted. No one wants to earn anything anymore. Bands used to be road warriors, but no one wants to put the effort in. If this is the future of metal then let it die. Of course I'm making assumptions here. If you have a band, and you did all the things i said then tell me I'm wrong. Plus laptop metal sounds like shit to me.
And his they could have the degde of classics metal banda that loved in trailer parks, worked as common man or we're on the road, now like You said all those experiences of bending and failires/success it's too restrictive, all clean, smootj, with perfect equipments and meassiremenst, i mean highway Star was writted while they were on a van hanging out and messing arround, thats how a Lot of masterpieces ocurred, not isolated in your little box and being more worried about the pr social media work than being in the band, and ove see that Even with big bands, like tool in their last allbums
That's funny people trying to cancel Metallica Megadeth Nirvana Alice in Chains is my Generation. This new Generation is all wannabe Nirvana Fans. Oh my fault Kurt Cobain Fans. You're just wannabes. And Guns and Roses always didn't show up. I went to the concert 2 hours late. They had to shut the bar off and people almost riot. Oh yeah does she know Guns and Roses started a riot after Hetfield got burned by the spark at a live show
2024, just came across this vid. I forgot they tried to cancel Metallica. Let me say, I'm black and love me some Metallica. Grew up listening to Metallica. Will continue to love Metallica. That's it, that's all.
Omg i just learnt from you that to achieve that metal bass sound is to mute it with your palm. Omg you’re a god!! This knowledge is life changing for me haha you’re the man!!🤘🏼
Towards the end you talked about this being 30-40 years ago and you not understanding. Don't worry, no one understands, they cancelled the founding fathers and that was a little further back. It's disgraceful that people listen to this kind of crap and don't do any critical thinking of their own but believe blindly.
Someone who was born in 1965 & Began the Gen X 😉 You simply just DON'T cancel Metallica, They are an Icon of Great Music 🎶 but I guess you wouldn't understand that 🤨 as someone who seen them Open for Ozzy ( another great Icon ) when no one knew who they were & they Rocked It 🤘🎸 That's Why It's called Classic Heavy Metal 🤘
me being hispanic with and iron cross tattoo and my dude back then even as early as 08 we all gave the salute because it was just the that became a joke at the time
Thanks so much for this, dude! I have a show coming up this Halloween, and one of the songs is Dig Up Her Bones by the Misfits. I seriously struggle with the palm muting in the verses, but thanks to your "bounce" technique, I may very well overcome that hurdle. (Would try now, but it's just past 3 a.m., and I don't wanna wake the whole house up. Lol.) Thanks again.
metallica cancelled their self for me. every album after ...And Justice for all sucks. they sold out. they were underground with the loudest speed metal then they turned to trash
Well, actually I think the harley benton sounds better😂, maybe I'm not a big fan of active or very high output pickup, I tried emg707 before it's chug but doesn't have the bite i want from a passive. Honestly, for a 400 guitar the pickup is not even bad, considering a pair of seymour duncan is probably the price of this whole guitar
5:30 'Their Dogs Were Astronauts'? Is that what you said? And people wonder why Metal fans take issue with newer groups - half of them are so self-consciously ironic and lolrandom that it undermines any sense of gravitas or sincerity their music might create.
Funny thing is, im pretty sure it was proven that the girl who tried to cancel them actually had a bunch of their songs in her playlist along with a couple creators who are actually bad, so shes a hypocrite.
I have no tolerance nor room in my gen x life for a generation who have the attention span of a 30 second to 5 minute video (thank you Tiktok for at least allowing them to expand their knowledge to more than 30 seconds). Their ignorance, they stupidity, their lack of knowledge and lack of caring about their lack of knowledge is just too much. They all need to have a bar of soap in their mouth and sit with it, with no phone, for a while. They also need to get out and socialize with actual people, in person.
You done lost your mind lady. Metallica played in front of 1.6 million in Moscow. 1.6 million!!!!No one is cancelling Metallica. We even have a call to gather theme sound. Don’t wake up Gen X.
