and putting iron maiden over coldplay, yes, any day..in fact, i'd put bon jovi over iron maiden.....and that's saying something.....

now go play dungeons and dragons kid....
Yes, you debased an entire genre. This is what we call generalization/stereotyping/bias. Because you've heard some death metal you dislike, if all death metal you've heard you dislike, it doesn't mean the entire genre must be bad. There is always a chance you'll discover a band in said genre that you like, if you keep an open mind. It's like saying every black man you've ever met has tried to steal from you, therefore the entire black race is evil.

And now you're into your own opinion about Iron Maiden, ignoring things that can be objectively described such as musicianship or originality. I'm glad you have your own opinion about things but frankly I can argue why Iron Maiden is much better than Bon Jovi or Coldplay easily.

And no, I won't go play Dungeons and Dragons. I don't know how to play, I don't own any of the necessary things to play, and I don't know anyone who does play. Good day.
