Totally Unpopular Opinion thread

[Iron1]

Dug this on that other place, so figured we need one here too.

Opinion: Ride The Lightning is a better album all around than Master of Puppets.

[jacksonplayer]

Black Sabbath's Never Say Die is an excellent album.

[Überschall]

Kiske is Helloween’s third best singer.

Rust In Peace is the fifth best Megadeth album (at best)

[Zero]

United Abominations is a top-3 Megadeth album.

yeah, fight me.

[Chris]

The Beatles were the Justin Bieber of their era and all their songs blow balls.

[Blazon_Stone]

Kiske is Helloween’s third best singer.

Very unpopular opinion!!!!!!


But seriously tho I actually think all 3 Hello singers are different enough that I can't really prefer one over the other.
Andi Deris is probably the most kickass singer, Kiske the most characteristic and then Kai... well, he's Kai

[Naren]

King Diamond sucks.

[Chris]

King Diamond sucks.

Burn the heretic.

[sgjackson]

Half of ...And Justice for All is overwrought to the point of being unlistenable and I'd rather listen to The Black Album, let alone one of the first three albums.
Queen sucks.
Dragonforce is still fun.
Avenged Sevenfold were onto something with City of Evil, which was a brilliant and really fun combination of hair metal, thrash, and the metalcore of the day. They became boring radio rock/metal after that.

[Valtteri]

Somewhere in Time is Maiden's best album.

I can understand the Queen thing, they are aight.

But the rest of that is pure nonsense.

oh I know what crazy opinions I have that get a rise out of metal fans

[Blazon_Stone]

King Diamond sucks.

I like the riffs, the songs, but not a fan of falsetto singing.
In the same category we have Jim Gilette of Nitro, but their music is just mega-fun so I prefer that.

Oh, maybe that's an unpopular opinion too, that I actually like Nitro.



Other things I LIKE that others really dont like:

[Markus]

"Kill 'em All" isn't that great, pioneering yes, but the music isn't anywhere close to the three (or even four) albums that followed.

[thrashinbatman]

Unironically liking Nitro is the most unpopular opinion here. Not only do I not like them, their music actually weirds me out. I can't stand it. It's like hair metal made by aliens.


My band's drummer can do the scream to Machine Gun Eddie though, that's cool.

Nitro does have one of the greatest music videos ever:

[thrashinbatman]

The shot at the beginning of the drummer hitting the cymbal with his head is the peak of humanity. It's been downhill from that moment.

[Jeff]

King Diamond sucks.

100%. Unlistenable crap.

Ibanez RGs don't sound good.

So you don't like Judas Priest then either, right?

I've given up on trying to argue with people who don't like KD because of the vocals. It doesn't matter to me if you miss out on a shitload of fantastic music because the only KD song you've heard is Welcome Home.

[Chris]

Ibanez RGs don't sound good.

I hate to break it to you but they're basically identical to your Jacksons, just with slightly different (better looking) headstocks man.

[Blazon_Stone]

Ibanez RGs don't sound good.

Want to challenge that with a blind test? I have several guitars, out of one is an RG.

Old school Rocka back in da house!!!

[Chris]

Blast beats never sound good. The only exception is Dimmu Borgir.

Cookie monster death metal vocals are also fucking terrible and have ruined a ton of otherwise great music.

NOW YOUR CROSSING THE FUCKING LINE MISTER.

The classic Jackson pointy headstock is the ultimate design ever.

Halford doesn't sing falsetto.:p

I love high vocals. In HEAD VOICE. That's what most metal singers are using.

But FALSETTO (King Diamond, Jim Gilette, Justin Timberlake) ...... not a fan!
