Why Hate Metalcore?

[Deadstar]

Like the Beatles, Mashed Potato, Parking Wardens, Telecasters and Middle lane drivers.

BURN THEM ALL!

Fair enough I can understand everything else as a subjective taste thing or stereotypical tw@ts, but mashed potato!
wtf were you subjected to as a child, when done properly it's truly magnificent

Roo I'm with you on mash potato, it's too high on the glycemic index but cake is the most evil food there is. Insane calorie density and lack of nutrients; especially today as I was in the supermarket before I had my dinner and the cakes were calling to me.

"Old" metalcore on the other hand is just an American take on Scandinavian melodic deathmetal but with singers that I can't stand and bands being signed too fast before they mature properly. Although I do rather like a bit of Parkway Drive and the last Unearth album (their first one was pants hence signed before matured.)

I agree.... unfortunately cake is also the nicest food there is.  But I can't eat it any more.

Is there any reason why the glycemic index should concern the average potato fan? It could be high on the arsenic index and I'd still gobble it up. And then calorie chat!

Away to your Men's Health.

Not really as the glycemic index is flawed as most people eat a range of foods together but then one can hypothesise that the less processed form of potato would be more filling and so decrease chances of over eating. But then a counter argument could be protested as it is unknown to me if drinking water with mash potato would mix in the stomach, there by trapping water in the stomach much like thick soup does and so make one feel fuller.

Men's Health is highly flaws too but I plan to age like a fine wine by stuffing my face with foods rich in antioxidants, red wine being a source of antioxidants :D

Drive in the middle once, just once, and you're cinders  :lol:

Everybody Loves Mashed Potato!

But not everybody loves Metalcore.

Personally I don't mind the guitar, it's tight and rhythmical and often pretty impressive.  But from the stuff I've heard the drums and vocals put me offl.  I guess I'm just not wired that way. 

What would metalcore guitar be with sparser drums and clean vocals?

You know like if Ringo was playing the drums and John and Paul were singing?

I don't really like metalcore much. The only band in that genre I am into is Every Time I Die, who I happen to be into quite a lot! They're not quite so typically dull as they have heavy southern rock influences so their riffs have big swinging bollocks :lol:

That's definitely moving in the right direction.  I like the first song best.

Have a listen to their "The Big Dirty" album, it's pretty good and has some less metally ones such as Rendez-Voodoo and INRihab.

No bother for the average potato fan, but it is an issue if you're diabetic.

As for calories, they no longer concern me.  Can't get enough of the bloody things....literally.

I used to really like going to Pizza Express, too.  Now I have to have salad.  :(

Although to some extent, if you go for plenty of fat/protein in the toppings it reduces the effect of the carbs in the pizza base.  Allegedly.  One day when I'm feeling brave I'll just say $%&# it and have a pizza.... but I'm not there yet.  Still getting used to this diabetes shite. :|

mashed potato should rule the earth. 

and that is all I have to say (in the words of Ten Bears)

[MrBump]

So - real mashed potato, or Smash..?
