Reply to Bands that peaked with their first album? by GroguIsMyBrogu

I could probably make some arguments that some of these aren't their very best work, but they are all incredible and vitally important debut albums, and are my personal favorites from all of them.

X - Los Angelas

The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us

Big Star - #1 Record

Notrious B.I.G. - Ready to Die

Ween - GodWEENSatan: The Oneness

The Residents - Meet the Residents

Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted

The Band - Music From Big Pink

David Crosby - ....If I Could Only Remember My Name

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight

Propagandhi - How to Clean Everything

Reply to comment by brandonsfacepodcast in After The Cure/Robert Smith vs Ticketmaster episode, is any new concert/tour with platinum pricing just an indication the artist doesn't actually care about their fans? by Hobonics

I call bs on this, because Ticketmaster NEVER states how much of their fees go to artists. They don't have any transparency whatsoever, they just say "trust us, the artist gets some", without saying what "some" ever is.

It's a smokescreen

I feel like the artist should know their management team and value as well though. Blink-182 could barely get their own tickets they said. Tickets to see them in my city for the floor were $330. Avenged Sevenfold are playing the exact same venue 3 months later for $170 to get into the floor. Either the bands have helped with that price, or Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing is really picking and choosing where they maximize their profits.

Reply to Lyrics or the music? by meganelizabethjade

I’m a metalhead, so I don’t really pay attention to lyrics. I still don’t know the lyrics to some of my favorite songs ten years later. For me, the vocalist is just another instrument, most of the time I can’t even understand what people are screaming about, especially when it’s in another language. But even though I don’t understand it, I rarely find myself going out of my way to read the lyrics.

I’m not really into other genres like rap where the lyrics and flow are in the spotlight. I’ve heard people praise rap lyrics, but honestly, I’ve never heard any cringier lyrics and god-awful rhymes. At least metal lyrics are more abstract and filled with metaphors, compared to rap’s more concrete and straightforward approach. It has fewer words per song, but I find them more meaningful. I don’t pay attention to lyrics, but it’s hard not to with rap since it’s right in your face.

Cradle of Filth is the only band I go out of my way to read the lyrics, Dani Filth is my favorite lyricist. For me, his lyrics are the most important part while the music is quite average and takes the backseat.

I don’t care about what metal lyrics are about, they can praise satan, praise god, talk about murder, protest the war, talk about global warming, even write all their lyrics about vikings, pirates, or slugs for all I care (cue Amon Amarth, Alestorm, and Slugdge).
