But agreeing which is good from an objective aspect is the same as continously banging your head against the wall.
2) Discussing whether or not X band is either nu-metal, alternative rock, heavy rock, or whatever is just as lame. People will never agree.
I personally admire Iron Maiden and consider them very groundbreaking for their genre, however I see why a lot of later generations of metal fans don't admire them as much as other people. In 10 years bands that are innovative and do great quality music now will be neglected and not praised as much, simply because people haven't been around to experience them by then. The hyping isn't up to par. |
I agree with you on all except 2. You can't discuss such things, because when band says they are Nu Metal, and I say they are Hard rock...who will you trust to?
