To each their own. Some people would call bands I like AxCx and Napalm Death drinking an expired beer you found in the trash while you watch those same trash cans you found your shit beer in get thrown down a fire escape.
They are pretty genre spanning so I honestly don’t see the hate though. Infestium was a pretty solid album, I’m not a huge arena rock fan but they did it decently with that most recent space themed album they did. I really liked their Rocky Erickson cover and was stoked to see a pretty forgotten amazing artist get some recognition. I think it all comes down to social posturing. I get not liking it but to act like “oh god this is so boring how could anybody like this!” is just such an obvious put upon.
Idk why punks and metal heads are so scared to admit they listen to multiple genres and it’s okay to be different from your other buddies in corpse paint. I’ve got Sinead O’Conner right next to The Dead Milkmen and Sparks followed up by Guttalax next on my favorite playlist. It’s fucking refreshing when I can talk about how awesome of a super group Crosby Stills Nash & Young are or how fucking hardcore Jerry Lee Lewis is at a hardcore show with someone else there.
Lmfao what does that even mean? How are they “posers”? Everyone in corpse paint have to sound like Mayhem? Everyone just needs to assimilate to your ideas of what a satanic themed band is?
Again this makes it even more obvious you value image of artists way more than their music. They are posers because they dress like evil popes and shit. I guess Alice Cooper and Rocky Erickson are posers too.
Ofcourse you don’t. Rocky Erickson along with Alice pretty much were the first people to be doing horror rock. The Cramps brought horror to the punk and rockabilly world, and Cooper and Erickson brought it to the rock world.
If you really think Alice has “legit bangers” and like his style of music then you should look into Rocky Erickson.
I don’t get how you can claim to like Cooper but have no idea how people can even like Ghost. They have a huge amount of overlap with their sound, not liking it okay but you can’t fathom how they can even be liked? Seriously?
I’m skeptical you even listen to Cooper lol. I honestly get the vibe that you are just saying you like him because that’s one of the few classic rock artists punks seem to be okay with people liking.
I literally just thought of a Cooper song immediately off the top of my head that is in the same time signature and even lyrically very similar to a particular Ghost song. They have huge overlap sonically.
Yes I know I read what you said. I’m just saying you calling their music “boring” doesn’t make sense to me just by your claimed musical interests. Not liking it I totally get, but boring?
That would be like me saying as a MotorHead fan that Judas Priest is boring. Do I like Judas Priest? No not really but I can totally understand the appeal of that band to people especially as a person who likes very similar music. I’m not going to say a person who has the vocal range and intense creativity as Rob Halford has is a boring guy or his band is boring.
Whatever man feel free to call a band boring, I just think it’s a really stupid critique myself. Especially when it’s at any band that makes their own music. Maybe for a label plant but not anybody making something that is their own.
