Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

I dislike it because of Rob Rock forcing the band to abandon Guitar Solos to “modernise”
 
Its a sympol of how Producers killed Metal/Rock with their Forced homogenization

@Broken Adam  
Forgive me for saying so, but you don’t seem to know what you’re talking about.
 
Bob Rock didn’t “force” Metallica to abandon solos. First off, it was Lars’ idea. You know, Lars, the man who completely borked up the production on …And Justice for All? Bob Rock only came in to diffuse the situation.
 
Secondly, Bob Rock had been doing the band good since The Black Album. He was a good producer, for one thing–before working with the band, he had previously produced Dr. Feelgood, one of the best rock albums of the ‘80s–and, as previously mentioned, they needed someone else producing their albums, since we’ve seen what happens when they let Lars get behind the mixing board.

female gamers should have a place on the internet. (With the exception of Alinity, who gave female gamers a bad name that I am afraid the female gamer witchhunt will approach Aphmau, ItsFunneh and KittyKatGaming)

@TheHappySpaceman  
I heard Kirk talk about Rob being the one to tell him that there would be no solos , if that’s Lars idea then I wouldn’t be suprised
 
Also the Black Album is kinda controversial since it started the Band’s departure from Thrash, I enjoyed it but a lot of the Early Metallica fans hate it completely

@Broken Adam  
In the Some Kind of Monster documentary, it was Lars.
 
And yeah, fair dues about The Black Album being controversial for that reason. Though it was at least produced far better than …And Justice for All. Hell, I know fans clamored for a remixed version of Death Magnetic (and they eventually got it), but I think AJFA is the real contender for a remix. Preferably one where I can actually hear Jason’s bass.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Kirk I remember made a good counter to the arguements against Guitar Solos by saying that chasing trends will make them seem more dated
 
I can’t argue against the Black Album being better produced, but a lot of Thrash fans they felt “Betrayed” by them leaving the genre behind

I think it’s cute when female gamers are terrible and dorky.

Authoritative disciplinary actions by parents does not help their kids at all.

The ROTJ victory celebration song sounds a tad like a Native American dance song of some kind. Especially the flute part.

@Absol95  
The original “Yub Nub?” Or the special edition?

@Lord Goku  
1986 version.

Especially spanking, which has been shown in studies to typically cause more harm than good to the child (especially teaching them that it’s okay to hit others when you’re upset with them, it appears).

@Lord Goku  
Special Edition.

The Whole Katy Perry thing is going to hurt the Music industry as a whole

@Broken Adam  
What did she do?

@Broken Adam  
Agreed.
 
People ask why melodies are dying in popular music… well, that’s why. Any melody that’s deemed to sound too similar to another song will get the artist hit with a big fat lawsuit.

@Scrabbleman  
Her song Black Horse was deemed to be a rip off of some obscure Christian Rap song by a Jury who aren’t musicologist
 
This opens the door for every asshole to sue any millionaire Singer if their songs even sound in anyway similar to their own

@TheHappySpaceman  
@Broken Adam  
How come music isn’t protected against these sort of things? You shouldn’t be able to copyright a certain melody!

@Scrabbleman  
the music industry breathes on bad copyright laws, as anyone trying to make something on Youtube will tell you.

@Meanlucario  
You know, Malaysia made a parody/homage of American Boy, which we called Malaysian Boy.
 
When is the American music industry gonna fight that and start an international conflict?

@Scrabbleman  
Give them time and the money to swing the ruling in their favor.

@Scrabbleman  
Entire Genres can be sued because of this shit

@Scrabbleman  
Parody is protected speech,

@Thanotos Omega  
Tell that to people who try to use royalty free music.

@Meanlucario  
At this point, I’m just waiting for the day when some corporation beats down my door and drags me off to a labor camp because they now legally own me.
