cherry_bomb Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I've been a long time Death fan. I was reading their wiki page the other day and and was kind of disgusted to see that although the band hasn't existed in over 10 years now that Death is considered a metal "Brand". I work at a music store and we sell Death t-shirts, but I would never consider them to be a "brand". I'm talking stuff like this is what I see come through our doors: death t shirts But this is like classic albums and shit, you know? What exactly are they talking about when they say brand? That it's become cool for kids to say OMG I LOVE DEATH BESTBANDEVER! for some sort of scene points? I'm confused. Someone clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Off topic but...Death Metal is a load of fuckin bollocks. A bunch of sad droopy faces moaning about some cartooney crap. Death Metal, it's just ridiculous as a notion. How can you be into death and why make a musical genre around it, i mean, you're into death right, thats your aspiration, well the last time i checked dead people didn't play or make a lot of music. It's just really REALLY immature and funny and silly. All dressed in black, chundering away on their Ibanezes. Y'know what i reckon it is? I reckon it's a HUGE overreaction on the parts of people who are just petrified of dying. To try and make out you're into something and it's what you're about when deep down, somewhere in the Freudian tangle of your psyche, you're cacking your pants.

RandallFlagg Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Schuldiner was a genius on the guitar and his lyrical explorations and themes were certainly anything but cartoony! Very poignant and relevant music with an equal share of darkness and beauty. I guess it's good they'll get some more exposure as opposed to a lot of the generic shallow crap that fills aisles these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To write off the entire genre as "immature and funny and silly" is really just ignorance of a huge portion of the genre.To the best of my knowledge, there's no requirement as far as lyrics or song meaning go to be classified as a death metal band. It's a sound. There are pretty diverse lyrics in death metal, just like there are in most metal genres (you have the stupid "cartooney" blood and gore lyrics and whatever, but there are tons of bands that sing about religion, folklore, philosophy, and whatever).Honestly I don't even know what you're trying to say with this post. I mean I feel like I may have an idea, but if you're saying what I think you may be saying then you really don't have much of a grasp on death metal.

There is nothing more too it. It's just a bad idea that gets attention for the wrong reasons. You know ive listened to my fair share of metal...almost all of it being silly and immature....death metal is no different. You may get 1 decent band like Death. Most of it is trash, silly and soo funny. So many people think their amazing when there simply fucking idiots. Over fucking rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I feel like I may have an idea, but if you're saying what I think you may be saying then you really don't have much of a grasp on death metal.To be fair it was a comment based entirely on the face value aspect of it, i've heard dribs and drabs and it's that very limited amount of knowledge that the comment was based on, i don't claim to be some kind of rogue fanboy or anything And Blaine ain't a good advert for it either and he says he's heard his share of it and he seems to be calling it pretty much exactly as I was based on exactly zero knowledge of the genre, it's uncanny, pretty good case for judging a book by its cover in this instance. But perhaps that's just ignorant, maybe i'll have a look into it one day, can't say it'll be anytime soon though, who knows though i mean d'ya think you tens years ago could've predicted you listening to what you are now?

But perhaps that's just ignorant, maybe i'll have a look into it one day, can't say it'll be anytime soon though, who knows though i mean d'ya think you tens years ago could've predicted you listening to what you are now? Yeah, the name "death metal" is pretty stupid and just seems like an attempt to sound "omg hardcore" and all, and most of the musicians seem to wear the normal black t-shirts/jeans or whatever, but yeah it's not all silly like Cannibal Corpse or whoever. I can't take that side of it seriously. But there are a good number of quality bands in the genre that write about interesting things and have pretty cool song structures and all that stuff. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the genre either (I got into it a few years ago, but it's been a while since I've listened to it regularly), but I'm just saying it's not all a bunch of immature guys who think blood and guts are cool and brutal and all lol.

Someone clarify.i know what youre saying i think that since death gave way to the name death metal and since chucks death i just think that death has taken to a sort of brand status good or bad or indifferent i think they have. its almost like black sabbath they are a kind of brand now since it was them that kicked it all off. when you innovate or become a spearhead of a "new" sub genre of any music let alone metal you become a brand. metallica is the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
