Welcome, one and all, to the rebirth of one of the best threads this side of the internet.

Let us christen this thread with the following footage of Varg Vikernes smiling in the court room while he is sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder of fellow bandmate, Euronymous, and several church arsons in Norway:

The Offspring and AC/DC - the 2 least progressive bands of all time.

I dont hate AC/DC, they are just very mediocre. AC/DCs first singer was great, the new one is just crap, his voice is [sick]

Yeah, there are some good songs that have the new singer, but not many.

I bet no one here could replace Bon Scott...

I also bet that Brian Johnson does better job than anyone here could do.

Yeah, its time we talk about how much we hate some bands.

I ****ing hate Deicide and Glen Benton and everything he stands for. Although, ****, they play some mad riffs.

*jumps on bandwagoon*

I hate Slipknot and Cradle of Filth.

I noticed Seven metion the band Between the Buried and me recently and thought I'd look them up. I dig the instrumental but as soon as the "singer" comes it, I can't listen to it. :(

I cant stand most black metal and anything under the newer hardcore scene. Oh and new agnostic front.

He is very throaty, isn't he. Personally, I think he sounds amazing but, yeah, a lot of people find gripes with his vocals.

Grrr, Glen Benton is the biggest poser in metal.

I like a handful of black metal bands but the majority of them are pretty worthless.

Absolutely. Jordison is such a one dimensional player. I think the only reason he's #1 is because of his popularity.

I'm glad to see the likes of Neil Peart and Gavin Harrison so high up on the list...well deserving of those spots, I think. But what the **** are Travis Barker and Dave Grohl doing in the top 10 while Brann Dailor is somewhere in the middle? That's a goddamn travesty.

Also deeply alarmed that Meshuggah's Tommas Haake is nowhere on the list...

Seems that way. These magazines are usually full of ridiculous bullcrap anyway. I once read an article about how metalcore was the "blues of the new generation". I threw up all over the page and wiped my arse with it.

Rising from the Savannah swamplands in 2003, BARONESS have exploded onto the musical landscape with a sound built upon a resolute sense of purpose and shaped by hundreds of explosive live shows, which has elevated them from the rest of the metal pack.

Their debut ‘Red Album’ sat the metal community fairly and squarely on its ass with its sonic vision; colossal riffs and haunting vocals rolling like thunder across epic songs spanning both the intense and the sublime. The album was so impressive Revolver Magazine named it Album of the Year.

Yet, their sophomore release ‘The Blue Record’, has truly lifted the bar again. It’s a ferocious album that’s not afraid to be genuinely beautiful and “truly depicts a band at the peak of their powers.” – Alternative Press

Touring nationally with Metallica throughout October and November, BARONESS will be playing 3 intimate shows only in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
