“METAL’S ANSWER TO RODNEY KING”
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 at 4:10pm by Axl RosenbergThat’s what The Deciblog called JoshofDarkness, the YouTuber you can watch below pleading for some sort of understanding amongst metalheads everywhere. And while I think anyone who has ever read this site is probably pretty aware that we enjoy bands from the entire metallic spectrum, at the end of the day, I have to agree with The Deciblog on this one: “his position is indefensible.”

Kids, stay away from meth.
Freakin A!! glad there are other people that think along those lines… i mean each to there own!! PEACE
I agree with him that we all need to stop shittalking just to shittalk, but we need the subgenres. Like my personal tastes tell me that I don’t like Death/Doom/Black metal. There are exceptions, like Opeth and Scar Symmetry, but as a general rule I don’t care for the growls.
And fuck not bashing other genres of music, thats an integral part of the metal community. Hating country, rap, and other shitty music is pretty much the only thing us metalheads can agree on these days.
1)metal is generally very angry.
2)not liking bands is fine.
3)not liking genres is fine.
4)throwdown sucks.
Look, what I mean to say is, I’ll talk all the trash I want. Music is the one area where I feel justified in telling other people they are wrong. It’s pretty much all I have that separates me from the regular everyday normal motherfucker.
to put it simply: this guy needs to put down the bong and grow a pair of balls. seriously, a pussy AND a dipshit rolled into one…
A.) I waited almost seven minutes for this dimwit to make a cohesive point. I was disappointed. There was no point, apparently.
B.) He said “like” 43 times. LEARN HOW TO FUCKING TALK. You’re not a Valley Girl. Or are you?
C.) I don’t understand why people tape themselves talking to people when their presence on camera or in person is nowhere near as interesting as when I’m trying to forcefully pull a hangnail off my body.
D.) Do you know who is hating on the various genres of Metal? The fourteen year olds that post to Blabbermouth. And no one really cares what they think. They’re FOURTEEN.
E.) There is no E.
F.) Fuck this guy. He’s annoying to watch and desperately needs needs some education and also needs to grow a pair.
Metalcore? Trivium? Getthehellouttamyface. Emo kids hold hands, we don’t. Metal isn’t a brotherhood, it’s a form of music. Emo and straightedge kids use music to add a soundtrack to otherwise un-musical scenes. They don’t look at the music, they look at the cultures. We look at music. If the music means something, yes, I will be passionate about what I do and don’t like. And if that means giving this crybaby a poke in the eye with my big metal cock, so be it.
good overall point…i guess. just not a very good job of organizing the thought and backing it up. this was kinda hard to follow. and i’m all set with trying to act more like emo kids.
Holy shit. I made it roughly a minute into the clip. What the fuck is the point?
I think I have a “hatred passion” for this guy. How about that 15 second pregnant pause in the middle? Brilliant.
If BearBong here thinks getting “bashed” on the interwebs is tough, try being a preppy looking guy at a D.R.I. or The Fearless Iranians from Hell show at The Ritz in Austin, Texas, back in ‘83 or hanging out at a Morbid Scream show during the same timeframe. People wanted to kick your ass or even kill you because you had long hair, didn’t have long hair, were a skinhead, weren’t a skinhead, listened to punk, listened to metal, listened to hardcore, or didn’t listen to their preferred genre. It was truly brOOtal.
People pissing and moaning online is child’s play.

what an asshole
Ben, a question… you say:
“I’ll talk all the trash I want. Music is the one area where I feel justified in telling other people they are wrong. It’s pretty much all I have that separates me from the regular everyday normal motherfucker.”
Could you tell me why you have the justification to tell people like me, the normal motherfucker, that we are wrong about our musical tastes? I mean, if you can tell people they are wrong than you must know what’s right.
This is really fucking awesome, because that means you have a deeper understanding to the nature of the universe and have somehow tapped into the source energy of God that allows you to tell other people of freewill that they are on the wrong path! And because of your justification you can tell them that they are wrong!
please share with me (and all of us) your divine insight to what is the correct way of approaching music! I’m looking for a God to worship, and if you contain the deeper understanding that i’ve been searching for please tell me how you’ve arrived at this divine justification and i’ll bow down!
Re:last comment. seriously, i’m picking up the sarcasm… but man, God is as real as Santa Claus and 3 dollar bills. welcome to the 21st century, troglodyte.
