Metallica

mods need to make the final results by voter visible so when the revolution comes we know which side we're hoarding canned goods with

hahaha

YAY some dude

so excited to learn absolutely nothing about anything from this poll

good point

markers tell us why you prefer metallica

velvets - #1 favorite band in the history of bands

OG Cliff Burton Metallica lineup would prob rank some where in or near the top #5 tho

Metallouca = #870,933,064

so excited to learn absolutely nothing about anything from this poll

no idea how to go about explaining it well, but i'm not challopsing at all and would seriously rather have metallica's discography than vu's if i could only listen to one or the other

come on try

you're fucked

use your words, markers

or at least an interpretive series of JPEG postings

My markers good for the money

one of my college roommates was a sound engineer for the recording studio we had in the basement of our dorm; he would frequently make copies of the more hilarious/ridiculous things ppl recorded and play them for us later so we could all heartily lol

the most lolsome recordings came from this indie girl who had the "I am a precious butterfly" demeanor (I'm sure you can visualize what this means) and her tone-deaf male friend who sort of bellowed his way through everything, the funniest one being a recording of "Stephanie Says" that happened to be my first encounter with the song ever, so for years I thought they'd written it

hearing the actual recording and realizing that bellowing dude's vocals were comparable (along with the lyrics themselves) basically rendered any chance I had of taking VU seriously DOA

whereas with Metallica, all I really had to do was see a picture of them

i think i speak for markers when i say we like to rock, and metallica rocks just a teensy weensy bit harder than set the twilight reeling

i'm not trying to argue that vu aren't influential or whatever, but my desire to hear their music is so low compared to my desire to hear metallica's. there was a time in my life where the only artists i really listened to for their whole albums were metallica and staind. and i played that shit again and again and again. i didn't even know vu back then, but i'm sure even if i had i wouldn't have liked them more

i started to try to write out why i really like metallica more, but i'm not good at explaining that kind of stuff, so

this is probably part of it, although i like enough music that doesn't rock, like joanna newsom and whatever, that this is probably only a part of it . . . (i also don't know what twilight reeling is tbh)

that album wasn't by the VU you dopes

it's like talking to starman or something, except the record inside voyager 2 was staind

sorry i forgot the convo was specifically velvets and not lou in general

it's cool, i forgot you judged everything by how hard it rocks

it's like talking to starman or something, except the record inside voyager 2 was staind

oh my god

strongo killin it today lol

why was there never a Starman 2

we're IN IT RIGHT NOW

While stowing away on a boxcar, the couple make love. Later that night, the starman tells Jenny "I gave you a baby tonight." Jenny attempts to explain to him that she is infertile, and cannot conceive a child, but the starman insists, saying, "Believe what I tell you." He explains to the stunned Jenny that the baby will be the son of her dead husband, because he is a clone of Scott. He also explains that he will know all that the starman knows and when he grows up he will become a teacher. He tells her that he will stop the gestation from going further if she wishes, but the joyful Jenny embraces him, in acceptance of this gift.

congratulations, markers and strongo

there's a less dramatic reason why sex with me wouldn't produce a baby

it's cool, i forgot you judged everything by how hard it rocks

i kind of do! with rock music anyway. seriously though -- basically VU is just something that was exciting when i was 15 and my cool friends were hipping me to the alt canon and i have no use for in my daily life a decade and change later, whereas the Metallica songs i thought were badass as a kid i still crank when they come on the radio

Man, I was just thinking today how I've completely exited my latest Metallica phase and will probably have no desire to hear them at all for the next 10 years or so. I haven't listened to VU in a couple years either. I feel no passion for either of them. Both of these bands have fulfilled very specific needs in the past, but neither of them work for me now. I think from an objective standpoint I'd give VU a slight edge because their ballads don't suck. Also, for calling it quits in a timely manner.

This thread is a honey pot of wrong.

that's not honey

"This thread is a vagina of wrong"?

warmer

vaginas usually are

really? now i'm worried.

Yeah, judging a band based on a bad cover of an outtake that was unreleased until a couple of decades after it was recorded seems pretty fair.

like, is this what we've become as a board?

pretty sure we were having "is this what we've come to as a board" hand-wringing before 75 percent of the people on this thread showed up

plus come on his world is in tatters now leave him alone

looool

if metallica collaborates with another band on another record, there will most likely be another poll

looks like somebody doesnt know about a hadcore motherfucker goes by the name of Michael Kamen

The strangest things make me think of the strangest things.

(Tried to code it so it would skip to 5:20-5:50 -- no luck.)

Best thread since the pinefox finished reading Goon Squad

this poll reminds me of a drunken argument i had years ago with a girl who told me that metallica 'rocked more' than james brown.

looks like somebody doesnt know about a hadcore motherfucker goes by the name of Michael Kamen

holy lol

markers

That's a lot of votes for a 5 hour poll!
