Metal that sounds like other metal

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

ran across this series the other day and thought you might want to use it to spruce up your metal musings:

Check out Vol. 1

Wow. Where do I start?

I appreciate you humouring me with this sentiment. But it is taking so much for me to restrain myself from challenging this individual to an online debate let alone a major virtual ass-kicking for displaying what he thinks is an in-depth knowledge of metal.

I thank you for opening my eyes to this eye/ear sore. I'm sure your intent for a thread was not the same as where I plan on taking this.

My musings:

This guy has a deliberate thing out for Megadeth. If asked, I wouldn't be surprised if he said he created it solely on the fact that he believed Megadeth sounds like Megadeth (whooda thunk?)

OK, so I was biting my tongue at 20 seconds into the first installment of this series. MEGADETH NEVER MADE A SONG CALLED "ONE THING" IN 1997!! It's not on thier official website and it sure as hell isn't in my collection.

"Mechanix" sounds like "The Four Horsemen" because it IS "The Four Horsemen!" It was a demo that Dave Mustaine helped write before he was kicked out of the band. The song was rewritten. Dave also had credit writing several other songs from Kill 'Em All along with "The Call of Ktulu" and the title track of Ride the Lightning.

The creator of these videos should be shot for comparing Megadeth to Nelson.

Since when...I mean how...or better yet....WTFH!!! Chicago...Metal???

Yeah, there are some strong similarities but there are several slight similarities. Not enough to warrant a series on it.

This is a severe case of "HEY....LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!!"

Believe it or not, it's these subtle differences that keep the music from being exact duplicates of other music. But you know what, they went and did something amazing. They created a term for these similarities.

It's called a GENRE!!

Oh my dearest Santa Puppy Jesus...this guy's created 9 or more in the series! I'm not going to even bother. All this coming from an alleged 22 year old, too.

Touche, Sir Dude. This was indeed a challenge to bear.

NEXT WEEK: Music that sounds like Music!

....he certainly draws a long bow.....montrose and iron maiden?..i don`t think so....as L.O.T.D has stated in his excellent appraisal of this bullshit....heavy metal is a genre...a RIFF is a RIFF...RIFFAGE+HEAVY METAL...get it mate??

[Veilofmaya13]

I just checked and he made like 33 of those videos. Wow...

[bmc]

theres about 30 of the metal that sounds like other metal videos, and yes it seems most of them hate on megadeth

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Yes, it's easy to hate a band that has the most basic but badass name on the planet.
