It is August 18th. Seems like MetalSucks missed their “deadline”. Does that mean we get to follow rule #4 for you guys?

For reference: Rule #4: Failure to claim your prize or do your job as sole editor/blogger for the day will result in your name being published on your takeover day so all the world knows you were too lazy/pussy/whatever to follow through. And that will be the only story that runs that day.

So if we win, we can’t miss our deadline. But you can. Yeah, I guess that’s fair.

Or, if this is the whole idea, and we need to tell you that you suck because you can’t keep deadlines, here it is: You suck because you can’t keep deadlines. Now give me the site for a day, dammit.

“14. There’s a chance Ziltoid may win.”

You act like that’s a bad thing.

But I agree with all of your points (except 14, =P), especially 9 and 12

1. There is an inexcusable lack of coverage on old-school death bands like Obituary and Morbid Angel.
2. Similarly, there is far too much coverage of popular “meh” bands like Chimaira, Winds of Plague, iwrestledabearonce, etc. etc. etc.
3. Also, Gary Suarez needs a far more prominent role on the site. He’s promoted a lot of really really good underground bands that need to get out there and be featured.
4. About the contests: they’re good, but recently they’ve gotten a LOT worse, both in regularity and in quality. I used to enter the Unreadable Logo Contest every week, but I don’t even want the prizes. Besides that, they’re so irregularly placed that I don’t know if I’ll receive a prize tomorrow or next year. Likewise with the Caption Contests, though those are a bit more regular. Seriously, though? 3 pictures of that Asian fellow, possibly continuing until someone like yours truly sends in anything funnier? You guys are really stretching, and for Oceano CD’s? No. Just no.
5. Reviews should be more in-depth. The reviews you and the writers typically write aren’t very long, and don’t go into enough detail to really describe the music.
6. Contradictions. Your first post about Winds of Plague called them “generic deathcore”, and now you’ve got nothing but praise for them.
7. Some bands are mentioned in passing that really should be mentioned more, like Animosity, Nile, and Jesu.
8. Then there are the bands you guys just don’t cover whatsoever, like All Shall Perish, and Nevermore.
9. TALK ABOUT BLOTTED SCIENCE/ROB JARZOMBEK ALREADY!!!!!!!! Deserves a separate post.
10. You guys would be better off only posting lists that you make. I don’t need to know that the only true metal band Yahoo has heard is Meshuggah.
11. More concert reviews. I know you guys go to a lot of them, and I want to know if any of the bands are playing badly, or if a vocalist has a cold before I spend my cash on shows.
12. More Devin Townsend coverage. More. More.
13. Less Blabbermouth ripping, more SMN News ripping. They can has personalities.
14. There’s a chance Ziltoid may win.
15. Oh, and you guys really really really need to do something about that advertising.

You guys suck because you are always hawking shitty melodeath and meshuggah clone bands to your readers, and still somehow manage to keep thousands of regular visitors. If only you would stop fucking around with silly bands that you claim to bring something to the table, exaggerating tame exchanges in the press between metal celebrities trying make it seem like the day to day shit that happens in the world of metal is actually interesting, inbreeding with Metal Injection, and worshiping other blogs that are far tr00er (ie Metal Inquisition, Invisible Oranges) trying make it seem like you guys actually know shit about real metal and not the newest bullshit trend (ie metalcore etc, sumeriancore).
I’m sorry, that turned out to be a harsh criticism.
Also, you robbed me of my tr00, somehow you sold Lamb of God well enough for me to start liking them…

Oooh, look at me, I’m MetalSucks! I steal all my news from Blabbermouth and then link to the St Petersburg Times so it looks like I did the legwork work mah-self! My contributors scoured the Metal Sludge message boards for cutesy hair-metal handles and threw “-berg” on the end so no one would notice! I “broke” the story about Cannibal Corpse’s guitarist becoming’ an Arizona golf pro last May, but acted like you hadn’t read the news back in 2006! I only write about bands with shitty deathcore breakdowns and Baroness artwork, and when I take the day off I make ya feel like I’m doing YOU a favor! Wheeeeee!

because only Vince, Axl and Dave Mustaine enjoy listening to Job for a Cowboy. Everyone else listens to real metal.

Metalsucks sucks because they are not true to themselves. Here we have a bunch of middle-aged jews running a website. Clearly these men have never seen a real woman naked at any point in their life. Yet instead of running the most vile pornographic site imagenable, the kind where they spent most of their time, they pretend that metal rules their life. Which also explains the name of the site, metal doesn’t suck gentleman, you wish. The sexual frustraion oozes out of everything they write. Not to mention the sexual frustration that oozes out of the comments left by their sorry readers. Who, I can imagine, (i don’t want to, but I can) violently masturbate over their own so called witty comments.

Now you might claim that there are already enough pornsites on the internet, to which I reply that there are already enough nonporn sites on the internet. Ofcourse you can’t watch porn on your work, that might cause some problems and therefore a nonporn site would be of some good. But only if it isn’t filled with embedded movies that are useless without sound, so you still can’t enjoy them at work. So not only is this site of sub-par quality it is totally and utterly useless!

If the database error was still going on I’d say I’d work on fixing that, damn mySQL errors piss me off (assuming standard LAMP infrastructure). Outside of that, I’d say equal coverage of bands there’s a lot more than the ones covered out there that deserve praise. If we want to continue the lists get some reader input and why they think an album deserved to be in the top 21 etc. There could be some random editorials from some of the readers because as we’ve all seen here that we all can be extremely opinionated but some of us can actually turn that opinion into a well thought out piece (regardless of whether or not you agree with the writer of said). If a *core band deserves mention that day, far be it from me for denying them the coverage, but there is more than some random *core band to cover. Possibly create some polls based on genre/band/”best album” – note the quotations, because frankly having to hear other peoples opinions is nice but once again its more interesting to hear what your “peers” think in my opinion. General ideas, nothing really ground breaking

Now why you suck – its just your opinions, granted that’s what a blog is about but some variety in the opinions we read about would be a much welcomed change.

Well, determining why you suck is quite the task. I mean, what does one base this opinion on? On the fact that reviews written about upcoming albums rarely have any positive statements and you pretty much hate everything that isn’t old school thrash or stoner rock? Because you just like to dig up dirt on bands that no one really gives a rat’s ass about only to fuel fires and debates on this site between toothless hillbillies and the musical elitists? Should I say it’s because you are not nearly as funny as you think you are? [You do realize that being Jewish does not automatically make you a comedian, right? Just like being black doesn’t mean you are genetically bred to be a rapper.] Speaking of which, Madonna’s arms are creepy and I am convinced that she is where boners go to die. Even Guy Ritchie described their sex life as “like fucking gristle”. Anyway, is it because you smoke yourselves stupid? Is it because Axl’s beard looks like my grandmother’s crotch? Perhaps it’s how you blabber on and on about boring doomy, droning music that makes me want to throw my belt over the curtain rod? [that’s right, a faith no more reference]. All things considered, not everything that I have listed is a bad thing. I am all for letting the world know when a band sucks and drama is always fun to talk about and just sit back and watch the fit hit the shan.

I wouldn’t say that you “suck” as much as I would simply state that you are all about as useless as foreskin. Metalsucks = the turtleneck on Satan’s cock.
