These I agree with you on. The rest I haven't really listened too.Novs said:
Also Up the Irons From Ireland!
Great band, I've seen them about nine times now. Never do they fail to perform above expectations
Iron Maiden are pretty good - their good songs are amazing, but their albums have far too much filler for my tastes("Number of the Beast" being an exception - that album is fantastic)
Not liking metal and rock music is one thing - that's an opinion. Stating it's "bland noise that all sounds the same" is not an opinion - that's flat out wrong, namely the part of it all sounding the same. One could easily list off a number of songs representing the wide varieties of styles which encompass the rock and metal genres, and any person who has functioning ears would be able to determine that those songs do not sound the same.DesiPrinceX09 said:
Out of curiosity, what metal bands would you say are better or at least more "highly rated" than they?[/quote]Novs said:
Black Sabbath,Opeth,Cynic,Neurosis,Gorguts,Suffocation,Death,Meshuggah,Megadeth,Morbid Angel,Atheist,ISIS,Blut Aus Nord,Deathspell Omega,Celtic Frost,At The Gates.. i can go on...[/quote]
Most of them are technically way better than most 'popular' metal bands, gotta give you the cake for that. But to me they often miss that charismatic part that bands like maiden have.
They made me get intrested in metal, but looking back... they weren't very metal at all.
It's pop rock for all the posers!

Yeah, most of those bands are technically superior to bands like maiden, but to me they often miss that charismatic thing that makes you want to track down their next concert.Novs said:
I'm going to see them in the summer so no prizes for guessing which option I chose 
.
Still can't decide what my favourite song by them is though, too many to choose from :S.

So in other words, my opinion is "flat out wrong" because you don't agree with it. According to your logic, stating that you don't like diet coke is an opinion but going a little more in depth by saying something like "diet coke tastes like medicine" is flat out wrong just because a person who likes diet coke disagrees. Rock and metal sounds like bland noise to me and therefore that is my opinion of it and saying that my opinion is "flat out wrong" is a wrong on your part. Sorry you don't like my opinion, but you have no right to tell me that it's wrong. As for all sounding the same: I meant the beats and such, it's just drums and guitar mostly and it all sounds very similar (is that a better word?). I just feel there's no rhythm and diversity in the music of rock and metal; obviously the voices will sound different depending on the artist but the beats don't sound much different. And once again, that is my opinion of it; doesn't make it correct.SonicKoala said:
I wasn't talking about the "bland noise" part of your comment, your entitled to say that all you want - saying it all sounds the same is wrong, however, because that is an objective quality of the music you're talking about. It's similar to the example you provided, with "diet coke tastes like medicine" - you have gone beyond simply stating your opinion of the drink (ie. I like it/I don't like it) and are now making a comparison which is actually testable. I could take a sample of diet coke, and then take a sample of "medicine" (whatever that would be), and then through a simple taste test, effectively establish whether or not diet coke taste like "medicine".DesiPrinceX09 said:
Likewise, I could easily post a number of videos from Youtube which show just a small selection of the wide variety of styles inherent in the rock and metal genres (which I'm totally going to do right now):
And simply by listening to that small selection of songs, any reasonable person can determine that, although those songs do share a few core similarities (as would ANY songs coming from the same genre), they are all unique in their own way, with regards to instruments chosen, rhythms, song structure, etc. So you can go ahead and "feel" that there's no rhythm and diversity in rock and metal all you like, but the fact is that "feeling" is actually you stating a debatable fact, and that statement happens to be wrong. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that your dislike of these genres is wrong - that's completely fine, people are entitled to their own opinions. All I'm saying is that part of your original statement is not an opinion.
They're alright. I'm not huge on that type of metal. Nothing beats The Trooper though.

As much as I love Maiden, and as much as I usually disagree with you over music, they do get a bit samey. There's only so much galloping a guy can take.Novs said:Do give a listen.Death_Korps_Kommissar said:Charisma is subjective.JochemDude said:
But i wont deny it. Iron Maiden got charisma.
I dont hate the band, i respect their influence, i just dont find listening to them that interesting.
