the kind of metal dudes who are basically just frat dudes dressed metal

fuck em

I don't know any of these dudes.

googling "heavy metal fraternity," I got this:

http://i30.tinypic.com/veoyti.jpg

which I thought was a perfect illustration of this kind of dude, but it turns one of the guys pictured there is Lars Ulrich, so now my head hurts and I understand metal even less.

WHICH DUDES? ROXY POST PICS PLEASE.

pics pls

lol bam has me killfiled.

No I don't. I was saying what you were saying. So it seemed louder.

I don't killfile or sb. One's too much work and the other's just why bother.

this is 90% of all metal dudes, right?

yeah really - ian's right - i dunno if i need to see more pics, i see dudes like this a lot.

can frat dudes be real metal dudes just dressed frat?

i wasn't aware of this phenomenon

most frat dudes i have been acquainted with like pitchfork indie or dave matthews type bullshit

perhaps my perspective is skewed

I know a redneck dude who is a real metal dude dressed red neck, but I think he's also a real redneck.

yes redneck metal dudes are a good chunk of metal dudes for sure

what about the kind of metal dudes who look like Willie Nelson's evil doppelganger

GIS: "metallica crowd"

lol, nije, I hope you designed that "metal dudes" logo yourself

those guys are hot

No results found for "so not going to metal".

I thought these dudes were the primary audience of metal?

when you thought that, you were wrong

yeah, lol @ anyone who said this is all metal dudes

you must not hang out with metal dudes a lot

most, at least in my (lol) world of "extreme metal", despise mainstream things iirc

i know that we are all supposed to accept tuomas as hilarious and adorable and all but you know stupid is stupid right

tuomas, frat dudes are the primary audience of 1. afroman concerts and 2. beating dudes like you to a bloody pulp

dont make me spend a week uploading pictures of all the super cool totally together athletic and fit metal studs that come into my shop, i fear that the adoring throngs of cheerleaders might overwhelm me while i try to get them into frame

xpost loooooool

oh shit fucking dying here A++++

dont forget rich and into flaunting their money

so hard to find adequate parking by my shop what with all the private jets and cocaine deliveries tbh

All the black metal dudes I know are fucking hippy stoners, as it 'appens. That or goths.

wtf john - frat dudes do not equal private jets & cocaine deliveries! Frat dudes = cheap beer & Bob Marley "Legend" on Saturday afternoons

partly. they also show off hella money and talk about bitches and fags and repub politics

yeah, lol @ anyone who said this is all metal dudes

you must not hang out with metal dudes a lot

I didn't say it was "all" metal dudes, but Finland is like one of the most metal-friendly countries in the world, and every time some friends of mine have dragged me to a metal bar/club, the majority of people I've seen have been fratty guys and booby girls.

Or whatever the Finnish equivalent of "frat" is, as we don't have those.

wow youre making finland sound like one of the shittiest metal places on earth and this is coming from the worlds #1 beherit fan

do try to keep up with uh yourself xpost

Guys stop being such fratty douches >:|

/thredcop lol

why Trayce, are you a fan of Bob Marley's "Legend"?

I thought these dudes were the primary audience of metal?

Er, "primary audience" doesn't equal "the whole audience".

BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND HERE DUDE

Well, you're the one who wanted to repost that.

Maybe it's different in the US, but I can tell you that metal scene in here is hardly a bastion of coolness and hipness.

sucks 4 u

Not particularly, as I'm not into metal at all.

dude metal is super hip here it is amazing

waterfalls of "booby girls" as you so eloquently put it

as you do not like metal and do not know what a frat boy is, i can see why you are opinionated on this matter

Death to false metal and people who don't like actual metal.

Right-wing fake-macho douchebags. A lot of frat dudes might like rap or dave matthews or whatever, but the idea that they're into "pitchfork indie" seems really weird to me. Maybe we're talking about different ppl because I think the frat-metal demographic would think that shit is for fags.

idk most of the frat type dudes i know (like actual guys in fraternities) aren't really into aggressive music at all! they like mellow shit, or stuff you can play beer pong to. also when i say "pitchfork indie" i dind't mean stuff like sleigh bells or ariel pink or whatever, just shit that's crossed over like modest mouse or mgmt or whatever.

been a while though since i've had to come into regular contact with "frat dudes" so i might be talking out of my ass in 2010

"might be" "2010"

death to false metal

^awesome movie!

yes!

Oh that was me agreeing that Smoke Signals is a great movie.

roxy do you know anything about extreme metal/free jazz crossover dudes? are they actually metal dudes or is it just a new way to market free jazz guitarists?

like who?

a little bit, theyre usually music dept dudes who want to come across like they are into all kinds of "out there" music/stuff, and so they "play" "black metal" or whatever (thrash, death, etc)

are you talking about dudes like Chris Corsano or ...?

i'm trying to think of free jazz guitarists that aren't like older dudes from the 60s/70s/80s

roxy do you know anything about extreme metal/free jazz crossover dudes? are they actually metal dudes or is it just a new way to market free jazz guitarists?

that was really weird - there was a fairly accurate/good article about this - maybe a NYT blog piece, i don't remember. I'll try and dig it up and post it.

are we talking not just free jazz guitarists but stuff like Zu here or

Tetuzi Akiyama?
The Thing?

yeah i was abt to say "the thing" tbh

it was this NPR story from last year

yeah - it pretty much focuses on Zorn and Laswell

imo zorn and laswell are metal dudes if the dillinger escape plan/psyopus/any techgrind dudes are metal dudes

zorn wears orange camo pants ffs

Lots of the NYC underground fits into that dichotomy: Behold The Arctopus, Archeoptyrx, Child Abuse, various Weasel Walter projects, Krallice, etc

All righteous dudes and righteous bands

Is Behold the Arctopus playing gigs currently? Weasel joined that band when he moved to Brooklyn back in December

ahhh man i was so into them a few years ago did they ever put out an lp

interesting that u throw in krallice w/behold the arctopus cause like

i think of arctopus as definitively music geek dudes making metal

vs. krallice being metal dudes who shred?

obv this is a marketing thing and whatever but idk it's interesting to think about

dude - Mick Barr is a music geek dude - he's not a conservatory-trained guy - like he doesn't know how to read music - but shredding and geek are not mutually exclusive

right right

obv this is a marketing thing and whatever but idk it's interesting to think about

some of it is, some of it isn't. like there are bands whose claims to being "metal" might be kinda a stretch musically, culturally (which is a whole other thing) ... hell, maybe i should just try to get Weasel to post here.

do that

i think of arctopus as definitively music geek dudes making metal

vs. krallice being metal dudes who shred?

same guy is both bands, dude!

give me two weeks when i'll be staying w/him and his wife in Brooklyn

the thing is great

my bringing up this topic led to my hearing unexpected gossip about Edgetone Records from sarahel

also:

http://www.myspace.com/fulgornatus
John Gilbert- guitarist and musical innovationist, serialist of microtones & death metal guitarist
Blaise Siwula - Saxophones/Clarinets adherent of free original music in any medium or genre.

"innovationist" is prob an underutilized word in resume padding

ice cr?m - serialist of microtones

the thing is great

did not happen - we did argue about whether someone should have made an assassination attempt on Rod Stewart after he made the creepy video for Tonight's the Night

when i started this thread i was on tour with a bunch of metal guys who were very sexist and pretty racist/homophobic. at home, this is not what i encounter in metal, where most ppl in the scene have kind of a (somewhat) politicized or at least punk background where these things are not really done. a lot of metal guys are sexist, duh, but not really in the metal circles i run in. i don't hang out with redneck republicans who listen to slayer, i hang out with smart people. it's insulting to suggest that real metal fans are just across the board culturally insensitive fucktards who only care about drinking shitty beer and circle pitting. that hasn't been my experience, but i live in a really cool town. "just for y'alls FYI" <my dendro professor says this

waterfalls of booby girls!!!

i was such an asshole at the time that i started this thread, i was under a lot of pressure iirc

let's just pray that metal dudes of all persuasions can freely raise a fist as one and hail satan, if such is their preference

otm, but dudes and chicks

thought that was understood, as yr op didn't mention chicks per se

but y\e/s

the op was disparaging

...to guys who dont include chicks
