your favorite band that went mainstream

[SheerCold]

Cold.

I'm not sure if you'd call them mainstream nowadays.

[RodSmithRules]

Until the day when death metal becomes mainstream, I think I'm in the clear.

But there is such a thing as "mainstream metal." In that case, I'd say Lamb Of God has completely lost touch with their roots. I would say the same for Slipknot, but even with the changes they've made, they still know how to shred it.

[Bronco_Armada]

Don't really listen to modern bands

except Tool and A Perfect Circle. APC is a tad bit mainstream, not nearly as much as your cookie cutter bands like green day.

[xX-Bronco-Xx]

Cobra Starship's new song is crap because they sold out for the worst.

All Time Low sold out for the worst.

Bleh.

Same

However, you lose 10 e-metal points for liking slipknot and calling yourself a death metal fan.

Amon Amarth

They're like a viking/folk Scandinavian band I liked until they sort of went mainstream.

HaHa I agree!! Slipknot SUUUUUUUUCKS, but I do realize it's all opinions. But still, Slipknot really does suck.

System of a Down.

I liked them before they got big, and I was blown away. Then they got big, and I was kind of surprised. I couldn't believe that their style (which is damn weird, even their biggest fans have to admit) was accepted by a larger audience.

Then they did BYOB, which achieved incomprehensible popularity. Seriously, I don't get it. That song sucks.

Then Serg went solo.

I haven't bought anything since Toxicity.

*shrug*

At least I'll always have In Flames to myself, even though their most recent album went in a direction I didn't care for as much as their older stuff.

Ugg, SOAD is absolutely intolerable.

You're awfully critical, aren't you?

[tpryce93]

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it sucks.


Except for emo. I think we can all pretty much agree that emo sucks.

Chill out my man, I realize Slipknot doesn't actually "suck", as in there playing ability. My personal opinion is that the music they make it terrible.

BTW, the emo "genre" REALLY sucks!!!

No, theres just a lot of really ****ty popular bands today.

I can't like Slipknot because I listen to death metal as well?

Slipknot is fun, that's all. If I want real metal, I listen to something like Death or Bloodbath.
