Saw this funny blog post about death metal and seemed appropriate from Paul Diamond Blow
In my own humble opinion, death metal is the worst, most horrible form of “music” that exists today. It’s even more horrible than gangsta rap! There is nothing musical about death metal—it’s basically just metallic riffs played way too fast or way too slow, with the way-too-busy kick drum, the totally annoying Zakk Wylde guitar squeals every five seconds (I blame Zakk Wylde for this), and worst of all—the “cookie monster” vocals that pretty much every single death metal bands use (I blame the Cookie Monster for this). I get it… death metal is supposed to be evil and scary sounding, and the vocals are supposed to sound like Satan himself is the lead vocalist. Yeah, that’s scary, man, but totally annoying. I must admit that listening to a typical death metal song by a typical death metal band can be highly entertaining—it always makes me crack up—but listening to more than one song just plain gets on my nerves, annoys the snot out of me, and puts me in a foul mood. Since all death metal bands pretty much sound the same (horrible), I invite you to insert your own “favorite” death metal band here at number two…
