Supose.But thats not what Im talking about,Im talking about how all of a sudden people are getting excited about bands like High on Fire and Mastadon etc.They arent doing anything new,its been around in some form or other for years but its quite vogue to name check them now.

How can someone who "usually doesnt listen to metal but loves High on Fire" say that and expect to be taken seriously?Its about as metal as it gets.

you mean like AC/DC t-shirts which couldnt be given away 5 years ago currently retailing at €40 in urban outfitters?

i remember buying a pile of S.O.D tshirts in urban outfitters for €4 each a couple of years ago.

haha, I know nothing about S.O.D apart from a live video I saw where the singer jumps into the crowd and hammers the head off some dude with the mic. The thumps over the mic almost drowned out the music.
Are they any good?

My girlfriends dying of the flu today. She asked me to get some fish for dinner on the way home;seeing as it's good for that kind of thing.Yet i know she's not a huge fan of fish, so i did'nt take her seriously.

Haha, no fish for her; who the fuck does she think she is anyways?

i went to the foggy dew, got pissed then stumbled in to eamon dorans where bands were covering Opeth songs badly

metal or indie.... like religions and politics it is impossible for one banner to represent ones views, morals, tastes in their entirety. pick n mix people, pick and mix.

...or maybe it's all about hair

 

[ilovebush]

Metallers are only into it because they like the body odour of other men.

Discuss.

He's clearly avoiding the discussion.

There's definitely a fraternal bonding / testosterone producing / musk sniffing thing going on there.

oh yes. i rememeber getting a mouthful of unkept, greasy hair into my gob during holy wars in 1992. gagging aside it was quite special, i felt part of something.
