I have to do a DJ for a wedding, wants me to play a lot of metal, so I got a list of songs to play. Downloaded them all & checked them out, most of it is the same thing, & most of it was crap.

You have guitar players who only play with one finger on the fret board through out the entire song with the same riff through out the entire song & sometimes the same damn note through out the entire song (doesn't even sound like a note). No solos anymore, if there is one, it's a wannabe solo of other guitarists (mainly Kirk Hammett). Solos may not be important to songs, but I still like them. The sound they pick is horrible too, you got this low tuned sound (from playing on one finger only), if they want a deep heavy sound, they should at least pick up a 7 string guitar & play with the correct finger positions so the guitars won't sound like a fart. Also the tuning of the guitars are horrible, either they don't know how to tune a guitar, or their way of tuning a guitar suck.

The drummers & bassists do most of the work, so I'll give them some credit, though you got a lot of crappy drummers & bass players too. The vocalists. . . ARE THEY EVEN VOCALISTS???

You got the vocalists that shout as if they want to beat the living shit out of you, bark as if they're about to puke, use some lame punk wannabe voice, & they rap too. I can't stand rap in the rock genre (though I don't mind Rage Against The Machine, because the band kicks ass & the singer sings about some intelligent shit). Sometimes you got some good band members, yet you have the singer to fuck it all up. You got bands like Linkin Park (the worst, imo), System of a Down (I don't know how these not laugh at the way the vocalist sings), Korn, etc. . . Also they write shitty lyrics, from "SHUT UP BECAUSE I F*CKING HATE YOU" as the chorus, to " Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.".

Another thing I can't stand is that they either always get these muscular band members (mainly the vocalist) & most of them are crappy musicians, or they'll get these band members who look like punk wannabes'. Also they like to play like other bands like Tool, Metallica, all the originals.

I also can't stand it when they do a cover of a cool song. You got bands that play a really cool Black Sabbath song, with growling vocals. Also they aren't hitting the right notes.

Most people who like that shit call intelligent bands either "crap" or "old & not original" (yet the bands they like all sound the same).

NOTE: I'm not talking about all bands that exsist now, I still like Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Tool, Audioslave, etc. . .
