BTW, Master Of Puppets was released March 3, 1986. The last day of recording was December 27, so no chance it was released in 1985.

btw Axl is why I'll never own a Guns 'N Roses album
also even though I love the albums I have by them, I've never bought a Jane's Addiction album after learning about the existence of "Whores" (never bought the first one, lol) so my inconsistency has a little bit of consistency

ok I read somewhere that Drudkh and Enslaved might be dodgy but this is looking RONG upon inspection

but yeah Burzum and Darkthrone you'll be wanting to avoid, Dan
i had to google the lyrics for that JA song, been a while since i heard that album. Some good stuff on it but yeah, that song.

I think darkthrone have denied being racists/nazis too fwiw
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I love that this poll is so fucked that we have to determine which bands are racists and which aren't.
fwiw this is why I don't really pay attention to metal, even though apparently half of my musical predilections fall into that category

I did not pay a cent for my copy of Transylvanian Hunger and I have no idea what they're saying.

really not that many 'good' metal bands are racist - the ones that are receive lots of attention

I have one friend who has a pretty good black metal collection of a few hundred albums, and he doesn't like any by Darkthrone as far as I know. I've heard some bits, nothing compelling enough to convince me to check them out more thoroughly. He also doesn't like Ulver, but I do like their recent one enough to be curious about their earlier ones.
I've read plenty of Enslaved interviews. They're intelligent, enlightened guys who are not remotely racist.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 13 August 2010 15:45 (fourteen years ago) link
no other genre screams "white music for white people" as much as metal, particularly when talking about the extreme subgenres (I still maintain that all of the original metal albums are hard rock as I don't really see any direct link between the Black Sabbath I know and the Iron Maiden I know)
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
any genre of music has racist or sexist or homophobic or plain old bigots. metal is no worse than others.

lol, googling "racist dance music" just brings up Das Racist and Mia Michaels

Am feeling pretty bad now - got my wires completely crossed about Enslaved to the extent to which they seem like the sort of band I'd really dig - really, really hating on whomever suggested they might be racist.

btw Dan, I know you mentioned in the past, one of the reasons you hated metal was because of the people at your school who liked it (and why you were wary of jj at first), but were they into thrash stuff like slayer/anthrax/metallica/megadeth, hair/glam metal or iron maiden/priest stuff?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link
yes
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link
all three of those styles were what 80% of the school listened to
not heard Cynic
― AVANT-ELECTRO METAL IST KRIIIIIIIEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGG (acoleuthic), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:54 (fourteen years ago) link
the other 20% liked top-40 radio and country

I remember the day I came to the realization that people my own age listened to country music. Up until then, I thought it was just my grandmother's music. When someone mentioned buying the new Randy Travis album, I thought they were completely kidding. And I was going to school in Alabama!

it's kinda more prog than metal though i suppose

would strongly recommend AAL to Dan, actually - really melodically intricate and arresting, the only thing he might baulk at is the lack of vocals
