Killer is great, while I don't think it's the best 'Alice Cooper group' album I do think it has the best song the group ever did on it.
That would be Halo of Flies *alternate version still rocks* Best song by them ever. But seriously though you got to check out 'Pretties for you' and 'Easy Action'. Your only seeing half a painted picture if you haven't. Go ahead treat yourself! Why not? You deserve it ;) Halo of Flies is the junk. Have you ever heard The Melvins with Jello doing it? as for the other albums, I am about to nerd out and say this: I have every Alice Cooper album up to Flush The Fashion on vinyl....and yes I still have the billion dollar bill in my Billion Dollar Babies. and to the lady who was talking about rocking with her girl cock to slayer.....I love you.

You obviously have no idea what you speak about. If you did you would know Alice Cooper was a group, and not just a dude with a studio musician band.
But lumping Alice's solo career in with the bands efforts is just Ignorant. It's like saying 'If I close My eyes Forever' is the worst Black Sabbath song, or saying 'If I close my eyes Forever ' is the worst Runnaways song. Those of us "in the know" Know better I certainly don't claim to be an all-encompassing 'anything metal' kind of guy. I am a metalhead, but not a mindless drone that feels any particular need to agree with every other metalhead on what constitutes good metal. For instance, nu-metal is all crap. All of it. Rap-core; crap. 'Hardcore' (new, not hardcore punk) - crap. And I have a genuine like of Arch Enemy (a band that gets a lot of criticism in the metal circles I've travelled in for the lead vocalist's inability to really push her voice the way a lot of similar -male- vocalists can). It's all about opinion. Sorry if my post came off like I was trying to preach a fact. Quote:
Punk and Hardcore have always had a tendency to be more "real" in terms of anger. Go listen to an Earth Crisis album and then something like Countdown To Extinction by Megadeth. They are hitting on a few of the same areas of anger, but Earth Crisis is more about action, Megadeth about knowledge. While Megadeth might be more skilled, Earth Crisis are the ones who make me want to punch someone.
But that's also just my experience playing into the music. Every person has their own unique reaction to music. So I'm not saying Punk has no anger, but it's a different kind of anger, expressed in a different way, which doesn't speak to me like angry metal does. Quote:
My biggest problem with metal is the overall trendiness of it. First its thrash, when thats not cool it becomes death, then black metal comes out to make fun of death metal, then you get Nu-metal and all of the sudden its all stupid, and now there is metal-core and neo-thrash that are destroying the Nu-metal.
Nu-metal, however.. well.. bleh. That's the trendy crap. But one shouldn't extrapolate that to mean all metal is trendy just because some twits decided to make pop-metal for the new-MTV generation. That's no more relevant than the Backstreet Boys are to the Beatles. Boy bands, both. But vast differences between. Quote:
Whatever, I like Slayer and Danzig....

no thats the emo thread.
here its "healthy discussion" I would like to point out the fact that Death metal was started because "thrash metal bands like Slayer were too soft". (I believe it was Deicide that said that) Black metal was started because they got tired of extreme music being performed by guys from Florida in sweatpants. Mayhem was started specifically as a trend band, funny considering that the mottot for Helvete (the record shop that they started) was "No trend metal" But if you were into the "metal" (wow, with all the ""s!) scene in the '90s you simply were not cool unless you had Deathcrush or something by Bathory. Everyone was trying to out heavy everyone else..... If thats not being trendy......

Every girl in the '80s wearing fifty bracelets on each wrist/forearm because Madonna was doing it was trendy. Death belting out some brutal noise because the existing metal scene wasn't hard enough is about as un-trendy as it gets. Sure, maybe you just weren't cool in the '90s without your Bathory album. But that speaks more to how trendy some metal-heads can be more than it speaks to the trendiness of the scene or the bands. Unfortunately, the metal scene can be incredibly exclusionary. If you like Cradle of Filth - you're lame. If you don't like Motorhead then you just don't respect the classics of metal. If you like Nu-Metal, then you're a poser. Etc, ad nasueum. Exclusionary attitudes like that foster a 'trend' mindset. It happens in every subculture, counterculture, and in pop culture. One of the things I like about metal is that the bands themselves tend to buck these trends. And using one band's history (such as Mayhem, whom I don't like anyway) to try to encompass all of metal just won't work. It's like claiming Trent Reznor's personal beliefs are reflective of what Skinny Puppy or any other Industrial band thinks or why they do what they do. Bands like Bauhaus broke away from the 'Dark Punk' genre to pursue a new style of music that would later be called 'Goth Rock' or 'Gothic.' Does that mean they were trendy? Hell no. They were the opposite. And the bands like London After Midnight or Sisters of Mercy that would follow them within that genre were not trendy, but rather were playing a style of music that appealed to them, because they wanted to - not because it was 'the cool thing to do.' |

It's hard for any band not to be trendy, even the truly authentic original bands are seen as sellouts nowadays case in point; Linkin Park. No one sounds like them and they are very talented, but because they are popular they are sell outs....I don't get that attitude.
Anyway, I like everything from Hair Metal to Classic Metal to New Metal to Prog Metal. here is a short list.... Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, AC/DC, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Uriah Heep, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Testament, D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles), White Zombie, Pantera, Dream Theater, Opeth, Manowar, WASP, Twisted Sister, System of a Down, Serj Tankian, Tribe after Tribe, Suicidal Tendencies, Savatage, Dokken, Quiet Riot, Queensryche, Metal Church, Fear Factory, Flotsam & Jetsam, Dio, Cro-Mags, Danzig, Damn The Machine, Armored Saint....METAL RULES! |

I think the general population (including myself) confuses the word trend with popular or sell-out. If a band becomes popular they are being trendy or selling out.
I have to be honest, I do not care if a band is a sell out...if the music is good, i will listen to it. OMG, I just realized I'm a sell out! |
