This isn't a popularity contest, we all know how goddamned popular the Beatles were but's irrelevent. I'm not the one who brought Godsmack up in this thread, the ones who are trying to defend the Beatles brought up Godsmack to change the subject and distract everyone from the painfully obvious fact that the Beatles, regardless of how popular they were, were a lame, fruity pop band. |

Yeah. Godsmack is basically Alice in Chains dumbed down for the Limp Bizkit generation.
I can tell you this much though, at least they're better than Oomph. Oomph is industrial metal garbage for kids who think Orgy is too high brow. Last edited by boo boo; 05-11-2008 at 05:26 PM. |

Also, what do you mean by 'pseudo' industrial? What band pretends to be industrial but isn't really industrial? Oh wait, that has no meaning and you just want to glibbly fling around random prefixes to make you sound like your intelligent to compensate for weak argument (actually, no argument in this instance) Do you have some issue with people who suffer from anxiety or something? Blues music is just 'geared towards' sad people? |

Angst and anxiety are actually two very different things.
And I used to prefix "pseudo" because what Industrial means to me is a genre of mechanical-sounding noise and drone influenced directly by the noise experiments of the futurists and musique concrete, such as Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound, Cabaret Voltaire and NON. Bands such as Oomph or Ministry or NIN, who basically take Coil's innovations and water it down with heavy metal are, to me, pseudo-Industrial. And you're right, I didn't have an argument. If anything I was trying to deconstruct your objective approach to writing off certain bands. |

I really love The Downard Spiral.
NiN is pretty much the only industrial metal I like though. |

I don't know how good the quality of your speakers are, but I have a decent stereo with nice sub-wofers, and when you have these guys blasting you'll want to head bang until you black-out. That's what good music does, it actually fucking moves you. That BS pop garbage you guys listen to makes you tap your fingers at best compared to bands like this. |
