What turns you off when it comes to music?

Most rap annoys me, with the acception of the likes of Cypress Hill or Jurassic 5 maybe. Also the likes of Limp Bizkit, Linken Park, Mudvayne, all that "nu-metal" crap drives me up the wall apart from early Korn stuff...

Oh, and those "My Chemical Romance" crowd (Kerrang voted em' best band on the feckin' planet!!). Its actually all people who care about their image more than whether their music is good!

Thats about it, any other genre is just a case of what bands/musicians I like and don't like within them

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Get yourself some Emperor my friend, although lyrics have never been any BM bands strong point...Makes you wonder why they take it seriously enough to kill each other;

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.
I am them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was waiting on those exact words to be said. I'm aware of the generalisation I was just making a point of the insane amount killings and suicides within the genre thats all, and we still (and will ever) only have Varg's story of what happened regarding the murder/manslaughter of Euronymous, and he could be talking through his arse.

Anyway, aruguement for another thread completely, sorry for the thread kid-napping!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

More than one killing mate, a fair bit more. I mean by members in the bands on other people not on each other, jesus I didn't mean to start up an arguement about it.

Ah now come on man, lets take for an example the guy from Dissection who commited suicide a few weeks ago, this act was done sensationally, it was reported on sensationally. When so many people within a certain scene do something along the lines of this its obviously gonna get the name for itself that it has now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It is stupid to pigenhole a genre of music, simply on the act of a few.

Of course, I made have no intention of pigeon-holing at all, i'm well aware the killings were on their own time but it changed the face of them in the BM scene and reflected on how others view it. The Black Metal persona pigeon-holes itself, its the guy with corpse paint on, brandishing knifes for album covers and magazine photoshoots. I'm of course not talking about all BM bands but some.

I agree with you, I shouldn't have generalised but I couldn't compare the likes of Mr.Manson to any other 60's folk artist becuase he was the only one I know who murdered someone (i'm sure there's others). But the likes of Varg, Faust and I guess Ghaal to an extent would be easy to compare on the scale of what they did, if that makes sense

I was speaking idiomatically.
