Bickering thread

[Kereminde]

. . . you know, the standard Internet past-time of "let's pretend what he said was the opposite to troll" didn't use to bother me, but then I started actually giving a damn about being more positive and supportive of things I actually - you know - enjoy. So on the topic of whether or not heavy metal counts, I leave you with . . . obviously not metal.

 

[Prussian Havoc]

So @Hatchy... how ‘bout that Endgame. : )

[Mod edit: NO SPOILERS requested by posts further down. Thank you!]

Avril Lavigne may be many things, but metal she is not.

But, like they're all wearing black and like listen to those <ahem>sick metal riffs.

In the spirit of our good friend @Kereminde though, a classic to actually rock out to:

Man, song still kills it on a dance floor.

No spoilers please! I'm going to splurge to watch this one 4DX on Tuesday.

And I'll add another not metal.

My one saving grace: bladder of iron. I go large when I do films and I have *never* needed to go to the loo so... challenge accepted.

And I'll add another not metal.

An edge case here.

Stabbing Westward are most distinctly a very guilty pleasure: they are *soooo* juvenile, but *sooo* earnest that I can't help laughing every time I listen to them:

EDIT: @Camicon Dachass does this come close?

"I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you"

Let's try to stay positive, though, hmm?

 

[MajorPrankster]

There is only one true Heavy Metal.

Also, trying to be positive on this message board is like trying to dance in a hurricane, when nit-pickers and rules lawyers try apply ancient outlooks to modern society.

Hey, I resemble that comment!

Love, Death and Robots is well worth a watch. Apparently made on the back of David Fincher's love of Heavy Metal, it's got that sci-fi short story vibe down pat.

 

[Kereminde]

Well shall we swap gears with the music, entirely?:

Why is there nothing quite like this existing in the BattleTech fluff? This seems like something which would make a good story. Don't make me do it, though, I'd never be able to finish it.

 

[unclecid]

this inro could be about pretty much any Davion invasion.

 

[unclecid]

but this is the song for the upcoming winter expac

Because it's a thing, one of my top two concept albums of all times is Cowboy Junkies At the End of Paths Taken:

That singer has a fantastic voice.

Seconded. It's really damn good, got me feeling like when I was a kid, reading a sci-fi magazine filled with short stories.

Not so fast; we need to segue into the change, like this:

Then we can switch to something entirely not metal - but still bloody awesome:

I feel like we need some cruising music...some Yacht Rock for those cinematic Argo sequences.

Just lean back, put those combat boots up on the console, and peer out the bridge into space while smoking a good cigar and drinking some well aged bourbon.

My brother has seen them live a few times, I believe. Enjoys their music quite a bit.

Speaking of music, and staying in the flavor of the IP?

Or . . .

 

[Kereminde]

And since there was some talk about ACs and aircraft, this felt appropriate.

OMG, you're *such* a dad. Way to bring down the tone daaaad.

Gah, I'll raise you with my favourite dad music that I can never seem to get played at a club, however appropriate:

 

[Havamal]

I only listened for about 20 seconds, and I didn't like what I heard. Perhaps it was or gets better, but that bit I heard was awful

Here, sooth your ears with Ronnie James Dio fronting Rainbow in perhaps the most epic song in (early) Heavy Metal history, Stargazer:

Prefer this one for Dio.

Does the synthyness disqualify it?
Who cares.
