Metal in Singapore's Society...

i like metal cuz its harder than plastic

i like metal cuz it is geniune, it doesnt put on a mask, it just throws everything at you, right into your face.
 
Well for the speed and technicality. DUH.

Take some bands like Dragonforce and Dream Theater for example. :D
 
"Dragonforce is the best band in the world. Do you know the drummer can blast beat dont know how many hundred bpm?"

Woweeeeee. Im excited. Why nobody fight for Lamb Of God ah. Very tempted to start something similar to Dragonforce boy. hahahah.

Anyway boys and girls. The Haze is bad.
 
WOOOHOOOOO.

let me start cue.


dragonforce sucks so hard. you want melodic and technical and what ever you define your 'progressive' music, listen to arsis. they make cheesy tunes sound good. dragonforce just makes cheese sound even, cheesier. and dream theatre speed and technicality? wait till you listen to atheist and cynic

And some..
 
oh yea and with the powers of dragonforce and dream theatre and the dumb fan boys combine, you have something so uber that no one can withstand their techinicality and speed.
 
hmm i can tell you seem to hate the bands i love. So be it then. Musical tastes vary.

Well, the flaming is rather un-adriot and unecessary. my reply is relavent to the thread and discussion so far...About metal and why i like it. Not about something that warrants "smart" know-alls who think they think they know-it-all from just previous experiences with me in the forum and holding a grudge against "dumb fanboys" as you so put it.

If you think they are better, then so be it. its your holier-thou-kingdom opinion and i respect that. But don't go too far especially when nobody enjoys your whims and fancies in regards to flaming.

Oh and if you don't mind, back to the topic please.
 
i think dragonforce is a good band but i have to agree with nak. They make cheese sound even more cheesier. Well nak, it seems that ized is a cheesy fella so let him be. Im sure there are lots of cheesy ppl around too. Its ok ized, if u like cheesy stuff. Dream theatre, ok la...ive seen even more technical bands out there. and yea, atheist whoops dream theatre upside down left right diagonally. but again its ok u like them. we're just expressing our opinions about the bands we hate. different ppl have different taste in hating too u know :lol:
 
i like Dragonforce :D

well,coz it brings back the prime of sega theme songs...and i dun mean that as an insult...coz i like sega theme songs.. :D but they're going too fast on certain songs...
 
Well Panzer, its good that at least you r keeping a neutral stand...unlike some morons who only know how to flame when nobody started it in the first place.....

Actually im alright with opinion expression. Trust me if you read all my posts carefully i've been keeping a neutral stand and i've already said that all the flaming and biased behaviour is unecssary. i feel its important to keep an open mind and be unbiased about things. i've also heard those bands that nak has mentioned but they don't seem to sound that technical to me.That being said , it is only my mere opinion(not elongated truth) and see im keeping it neutral once more.

Ok, whatever it is then. If any of you say this is better or that den so be it. just stop to useless unjustified flaming cos i believe we are all civilised ppl here, not barbarians. Thanks.Oh and thanks once again panzer for posting something useful here.
 
sometimes you think you know but actually you dont know and you just assume that you know. but what you know?
 
i think its the hyper-playing that gets to the listener first. its how the mind is triggered into thinking what is technical and what is not (provided the meaning of the term is known). the hyper solos of herman li & sam totman provide the first impression that DF is a fugkin fast technical entity, when in truth its only this Speedy Gonzalez Arriba Andale playing that is judged.

Technical or not, the DF clowns are a unique & skillful bunch. I always say i've heard bttr stuff, but they are still unique and different. During their birth years i used to b a DF elitist :lol: But soon i realised it was only this "hyperorgasm" that seduced me in the first place. No matter how much u love to ejaculate shitloads of steroid electrons listening to some Technical Brutal Mathematic Progressive Melodic Death Metal, this DF shit is still good. Game music is always refreshing (oh wait theres MegaDriver for that). ZP Theart is one of THE best around, so u gotta agree the vocals are killer.

Anyway why would one "hate" such a band? After their Inhumane Rampage release, I sorta lost the interest. But their older songs still rock my balls.

Mate, Technicality is best heard on Engineering radio. Make sure u know ur CAD well.

Konan the Barbarian
 
Well said gutteral piss.

Well as a media student, i can say the elitist-populist model once again comes clear. It seems like elitists(aka hardcore death melodic prog mathematic) ppl would sort of hate the populist model( bands that have become popular or gone commercial, like Dragonforce, Metallica, etc.....glam metal bands, Poison, or simply not fierce enough). That being said, well its quite common and henceforth rather known true(although not universal truth)Even i disliked Metallica when the St Anger release came out, but now i realise: whats the point of hating them? their old stuff is good and they are still the gods that kickstarted the thrash metal scene. whether they suck now or not is not the point, you gotta give bands credit for coming up with the stuff they do.

The old dragonforce was hailed cool at that time(valley of the damned) cos they just sounded so different from any metal band out there. but at the height of their popularity(inhuman rampage) ppl started saying they were cheesy and all that...suddenly it became a trend(esp among death metal ppl) to start hating them and all that. But at the end of the day, whats the point of all that? Your comments are not going to make them change. Every band (death, progressive, metal, cheesy, whatsoever) is unique and different and we should just accept that.

oh and Nak, in case if you think this post is directed at you, please note that I've never once insulted any of the bands you mentioned. But you have insulted Dragonforce umpteen times already. Im cool with that. But please keep it with restraint. Also please note this post is purely analytical in nature.....its directed at no one, just a futile attempt to offer some insight that coerces with the topic.
 
i want to insult or not got what to do with you..

i mean its funny that 1 small insult can make you so over protective it's funny :lol:
