Bullet for my Valentine, it's gone too far

They are not, and never will be the future of British Metal. If this is the case, then people obviously have a misunderstanding of the term Metal. I was flickin through the pages of this month's Metal Hammer and yet again, there's the selection of Emo bands and Bullet For My Valentine have the main feature in which they say "Iron Maiden are the sort of band that like to promote new music. it sounds like a cliche, but we are the future of music"... no, you're not. There are much much MUCH more talented artists and bands out there, they're just big in times of now. Emo is another festering sub-genre of Metal which will undoubtedly wash away like an inconclusive stain, and when it does - where will Bullet For My Valentine be?

Music wise, they're tolerable but as soon as he opens his mouth it's a case of WHAT?!?!

It sends me bitter on the inside when I read reviews in which Emo bands are being fronted as the future of British Metal.

 

Here here, I agree completely

 

I couldn't care less what crappy magazines say about the future of music.

 

Yeah neither could I on the whole, but I've been a subscriber to metal hammer for a few years now and they've had some really good write ups on bands and got me into some of my favourite underground metal bands of today.

 

It's like M.C.U.D from (HED) P.E say's.
"Arnt you sick and tired of all this emo shit, all this pop shit on the radio. I think it's time we take this shit back"

 

aren't hed p.e. punk tho?!
if so, of course they're not gonna wanna hear emo - it's a sub genre of metal which is like an adversary to punk.

 

I really really hate this band. There just soooo.....I dont know.....Gay? Is that word?

 

i think that if emo kids wanted to be cool and impress ppl, they'd stop cutting themselves, douse themselves in gasoline, and then smoke a cigarette.

 

Hed pe are pop shit that used to get played on the radio but are complete shit now so though don't get played, so they can't really talk all that business about other bands. BFMV are just a mediocre little band popular because they're easy listening. I don't hate them though.

 

i guess they are not the traditional type of mental band, but time does change

and when i think about it, it took a band like them to cause mental to be seen in a more positive way to the mainstream audience, as much as I would hate to admit.

yeah know the magazines are overloaded with this new type of mental sound, i guess its good, though i can't listen to it all the time (they all seem to convey the same clique) . Magazines like Karrang for example has changed soo much because of the emo movement too - which is one of the reasons why i don't buy the mag anymore. Karrang radio has changed to thank god for the internet.

 

Emo developed from punk, not metal, yes?

EDIT: oh, for christ's sake, Bart, shut the fuck up. We don't need even more moronic 'no, we don't want that music to be part of OUR genre, it must be something else'-discussion.

 

forgotten holocaust - it's metal music, not mental.
hailtotheking - emo is something else though. a processed, knocked down, chewed up and spat out with whiny vocals rip off of decent metal music.

 

thanx i'm like that sometimes :H

 

couldnt have said it better myself

 

i should suggest that as a new definition for the word on http://www.hyperdictionary.com/

 

Ha yes you should, hope every one enjoyed their new years know I did

 

AGREED

 

i was on a comedown all day yesterday until about 9pm, 3 hours till new year so sat down with a 4 pack of stella and watched die hard, followed by die hard 2!
not the worst new year ever but not the greatest.

 

it was a pretty good one for me...I guess
kinda hard to say really
too many ups and downs, no clear majority
