When did metal go pop

[Afghan Dave]

Here's probably the most stupid, sickening band I've seen in a long time.

the $%&#

'The Crab' 'Jogging on the spot' and Cher like Autotone parts better not become popular or I'm going Postal.

Really... That has to be one of the most contrived audio/visual disgraces to have ever existed.

The bit at 0'59" should be looped and enjoyed independently though.  :lol: :? :(

ah, so you haven't played my patented "Who's more lame, the pasty one with the telecaster or the one with the red trousers" game? :lol:

What about the lame pasty one with a telecaster wearing red trousers?

is there such a person in that video? :lol:

Actually the whole crab walking aerobic video guitars above head thing has possibly been the highlight of my weekend, I have a student tomorrow evening with a great sense of humour and absolute hatred of all things emo, I will endevour to show him that clip and laugh at it for hours.

I don't really watch TV fullstop anymore. Kerrang and MTV2 used to be great; found a lot of bands through both but they seemed to have diminished in appeal lots since. I haven't seen a good new band (imho) in ages, let alone metal. Last new band I found that I liked was Bright Eyes I think and that was a year or two ago.

NEED, NEW, GOOD, MUSIC!

yo.

that toni & guy advert for bad metal weird pop rubbish is terrible.

those dudes need to listen to Fury Of Five.

All good new metal is unsigned - Ergo, not on Kerrange and Mtv2.

Metal bands are learning not to sign their lives away to shite record contracts, when they can produce it themselves, and organise tours with decent promoters etc.

I'm glad to say that I have no idea who most of these bands are :)

No it isn't, but most of the stuff which is signed is on small labels.

There are more good new metal bands now than there has ever been. There's just also more bad new metal bands.

Realistically however, f you're watching Kerrang and Scuzz then chances are you've been out of touch with anything other than mainstream pop metal for a long, long time. No apologies for elitism. :lol:

+1  :lol: Couldn't have imagine anything worst than the videos of those sh**itee bands I discovered here. Burn all those videos and also the bands named since the first post of this topic !

And imo what is said here is a good start to answer the question of that thread  :

Is this the bit you're on about?



 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha someone beat me to Attack Attack! I was hoping to ruin everyones lives with it. the thing is people seem to like this stuff?
On a similar not check out Brokencyde and their song Freaxxx
Theres heaps more gifs of Attack Attack floating around. Cant search for them here though, will post tonight if nobody else does first

one of my favourite recent metal bands would be 3 inches of blood.
awesome 80s vibe but still keeping it current, theyre not trying as hard to be pure 80s, they just like riffs. I hear the guy that does the low screams has gone, i reckon this could make them sound a bit better though, some of his stuff seemed outta place.
