Tell Me Your Favorite Band So I Can Tell You Why Manowar Is Better
 
You're all a bunch of indie pussies and Manowar rule. It's time I pounded this into your pantywaist skulls once and for all. So just tell me what ****ty band(s) you like, and I'll educate you on why they suck and Manowar are better.

I doubt anything that Manowar did could touch them with a 10 foot pole. Sorry you got burnt so bad so early in your thread. :(

Frownland 05-17-2015 11:00 PM

Captain Beefheart is better and if you think otherwise you're wrong.

The Batlord 05-17-2015 11:00 PM

ABBA? They're from Sweden (i.e. "pussy Norway"). Try an American band, from America. Or at least one from England.

And they make songs about dancing. You know what happens when the chick from "Dancing Queen" twirls her roller disco skates into "Blood of My Enemies"? This...

I don't see what's so great about him. Experimental rock (and music in general) reached it's peak with this.





Does it make you wanna cry hearing your little boyfriend be made obsolete in just twenty-eight short minutes?

Crows are the messengers of Odin. Manowar are the messengers of Odin. Crows = Manowar. Is it clear to you now? Even Beefheart is subservient to Manowar, seeing how he's feeding them ice cream and all.

  2. Captain Beefheart
  3. Britney Spears
... and counting
Wow! He got burnt three times. http://www.messentools.com/images/em...tas-batman.gif He's probably wishing he never made this thread....could a mod please lock this thread before The Batlord faces further humiliation!

Girlschool is way more fun and badass than Manowar ever was. And with a little tag-team assistance from Motorhead, I think their victory is more than assured.

The Batlord 05-18-2015 04:53 AM

I love Girlschool, but they are a pop band with a few Motorhead riffs. Manowar are a True Metal band with balls the size of our dearly departed Twin Towers.

And you are a pansy.

They did what they wanted, without worrying if what they were doing was "Punk", "Metal", or "Pop", whereas Manowar couldn't get over their masculinity issues and limited themselves to a single genre that was already artistically limited to begin with. Girlschool had true courage, while Manowar were just overcompensating twats. The comparison is not unlike that of you and Trollheart; you aren't afraid to try new things and admit that you like something, even if it seems unbecoming of your persona (like Kate Bush and Britney Spears), whereas Trollheart pretends to accept recommendations when deep down he will always hate everything but Prog, and refuses to enjoy anything new beyond reason (bastard won't even give Office Space a chance). Face it; Girlschool is your spirit animal.

If you can come up with a legitimate reason why Manowar is better than The Doors…

This is a gross misrepresentation and oversimplification of my music tastes, and I am offended. I like AOR, atmospheric black metal, prog, classical, some pop, Country, prog, NWOBHM metal, some soul, prog, power metal, blues, funeral doom, prog, some folk, ambient, prog, prog and prog. Oh, did I mention prog? And prog.

Also, my parents were married when the momentous occasion of my birth shook this world. If you're gonna insult me, at least do me the courtesy of researching my parentage! :laughing:

You remember when Manowar's singer left to go write a children's book and make bad post-thrash, and the rest of the band recorded two albums that made Judas Priest's line-up change look like a stroke of genius?

What's that you say? That was Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden? Well don't that beat all.

Real talk this time. I'd have been perfectly willing to vote for Led Zeppelin IV on the proto-metal battle in the Metal Album Survivor thread, if more of the album was like "Black Dog", and less like "Going to California". Somebody needed to tell that band that their attempts at folk were inconsistent at best.

And yet when Manowar try to branch out? Brilliance.

Batty don't get used to it, but Manowar is one of the very few bands/groups that I can say that I pretty much like all of their stuff.

Frownland 05-18-2015 03:47 PM

I think that enjoying an artist ironically is one of the most obnoxious things a person can do.

Liking Manowar unironically is surprisingly (but not really) at least five times as obnoxious as that.

Carpe Mortem 05-18-2015 04:05 PM

But what if my favorite band is, like, all of everything that exists, bro? You can't compete with eternity, bro.

I'm sorry, but I cannot answer this question, as thinking about the two artists has shorted circuited my brain with pleasure. I eagerly await the inevitable collaboration between the two.

I'm sorry for forgetting this one, but there is so much mediocrity to cover that it was inevitable that I would forget a few.

This is the grave site of Jim Morrison. See why has it been defaced? Some of it might have been done by real fans, but most of it was likely put up by douchebags just trying to be cool.

This is the grave site for dearly departed Manowar drummer Scott Columbus... probably.

Why the lack of graffiti?

Fear.

This man knows what's up. It takes a real man to be able to recognize the brilliance of the nearly ten-minute, symphonic buildup to the first song on Gods of War. Inferior men may call it "mindless dull" and "egotistically self-indulgent", but you and I know the truth.

So your favorite band is also Manowar? Good man man/woman.

Mondo Bungle 05-18-2015 04:28 PM

Manowar's last album sucked

Trollheart 05-18-2015 05:03 PM

The tale is oft told of how Manowar went on as "hard as nails", "death to false metal", "taking on the world", yet ran like pussies when there was a possibility of becoming embroiled in a fight at a club. Adams' exact words? "Hey man! We're musicians, not boxers!"

Hard my arse!

Also, if you want to diss Dickinson's later decisions fine, but find me one (only one will do) metal band who does not revere Maiden. **** it, even Manowar do, and they're American. Advantage ... Trollheart!
:D

If I ignored your other points, it's because I don't care about anything you have to say.

I don't mind you ignoring then, but why quote them? Also, what about the one you are addressing, that it was Kerrang! from which the report came?
