āGuitar sounds crapā is a perfectly valid opinion.
Sorry that sounded really arsey, Iām not meaning to be, just Bam gets a lot of shit in these threads, from myself included, and gets singled out a lot.

probably because 99% of us if we have such opinions keep them to ourselves?
Thatās on everyone else, not him imo. These threads are for all opinions good or bad on an artist, and Bam in particular would elaborate further on those opinions if questioned respectfully. The only line we should really draw is when judgment is passed on fans (āmusic for people whoā¦ā) etc. Iām gonna tag him in @Bamnan cause itās not really fair to discuss this without him.
just listening to the Ivan the Terrible release on your rec, itās amazing, I love the spoken word stuff, he has a great voice
Itās ok, Iām sorry for upsetting anyone.
I donāt mind people disagreeing with my opinion more the inference that Iām always at it, like I do post both positive and negative stuff on artists, glib and also long and detailed
Absolutely. Stuff like this:
Quite out of order imo.
Definitely not this. Maybe some people do bottle it in, but I think as a community I would hope that each HGATR thread has a post from everyone here who holds an opinion on the act (and some who donāt), and they should be honest about their opinions without being singled out for doing so. You might disagree if someone dislikes a band you like but everyoneās opinion is equally valid here.
On a personal level, I enjoy a good takedown just as much as (probably more than) a seven paragraph life story of love for an act, so I hope people continue to feel free to engage with every HGATR thread no matter what they think of the act.
Yeah I saw that and decided to stop posting for a while, didnāt realise thatās how some people see me, I donāt want to ruin a thread for anybody
I donāt like that one bit, donāt get me wrong Bam weāve butted heads a fair bit in these threads and others I know, but youāre as entitled to post in them as anyone else.
Guess I always get a bit more chippy with sacred cows, like you should be able to say the same stuff about an act at the top of the list as at the bottom.
I do like some stuff about the minutemen anyway, good basslines, the lyrics can be interesting and varied, I like what they are going for I just dont like the guitar tone, the affected vocals (fine in the spoken word stuff) and I wish their songs developed more rather than just a short idea and thatās it. Good transitions between sections are some of my favourite parts of music, I feel something is lost with 40 short tracks with one idea each rather than say 20 where theyāve thought about how sections fit together more. So I feel 3/5 is fair from me.
Fucking hell, this is just bullying
Yeah should have called it out at the time tbh.
Itās 2021, we arenāt angsty teenagers anymore, Iām not easily upset but I think coming into a HGATR and just saying āname sucks, 1/5ā or āall metal bands are racist/Satanistsā without any context or willingness to discuss just defeats the purpose. I usually avoid threads about bands I donāt know as I find that would be pointless unless Iām willing to ask where to start etc.
I understand it can be funny to some to throw such edgy quips around and then never re-enter the thread, but a music board should avoid such circle-jerkery otherwise outsiders are never going to want to participate, save that sort of thing for the social board.
[All in my opinion]
Exactly like this. Good stuff.
This is an opinion just like any other though. Yeah some people do like to steam in with that and nothing else but theyāre not obliged to elaborate.
When Bam says stuff like this (which donāt get me wrong isnāt his finest hour), he always stays and argues his points though.
Yeah hard to disagree with this bit tbh, partly why I moved them here.
Iāll have to resist the temptation as itās fun to do both though Iāll try to use my words more carefully but Iām sure if I had said Limp Bizkitās guitar sounded like shit and Fred Durstās voice was annoying it would have passed without comment or would have been agreed with.
Bamās indicated in one post that he doesnāt like the guitar sound or the singerās voice. Youāve indicated that Bamās opinion is shit. In this particular case, as I see it, youāre the one who is making the thread less welcoming.
Maybe you have valid grievances from a previous thread - not seeing anything here akin to the angsty teenage examples you give - but youāve significantly misrepresented Bam here.
Heās engaged with the thread, and given some opinions as to what he thought was good and not good on this artist.
For you to then come in and say āsome shit from Bam but thatās to be expectedā is quite unpleasant and undeserved.
hard to get tone online though I get that, I rarely post with malice and am fully aware that Iām a fool sometimes
Yes he might do it, but I never said he is the only one. The Slayer thread was a shit show for such things.
