Indie Sucks

And if you like it, you're an even bigger dipshit than I anticipated.  Indie is music made by people who don't kick enough ass to play metal.  Maybe they don't know it, but thats the truth.  If they kicked ass like they should, they wouldn't waste time playing this bullshit.  I'm sure some of you are saying, "But, everyone loves Indie!  How could it be bad?"  The reason for so many Indie fans is addressed in my first post: everyone is an idiot.  I can't fathom why people would love Indie so much.  It all sounds the same, just weird, random, stupidass music and some of the lamest vocals I've ever heard.  

The following is actual dialogue that occurs during the formation of an Indie Band:

Guitarist:  Hey, let's start a band!
Vocalist:  Ok, can you shred?
Guitarist:  Uh.....no
Vocalist:  Damn.  How can we play good music then?
Guitarist:  Well...I'll just play some random notes, and you half-sing, half-talk over it. 
Vocalist:  Sounds great!  

THE ONLY GOOD INDIE IS INDIANA JONES

A Favorite

I'm going to give you a treat.  

I'm going to talk about a fantastic band, so that you can get a good idea early on of what good music is.  

This band is none other than Soilwork, a melodic death metal band from Sweden.  Melodic death is by far the best subgenre out there, as it can have anything from melodic lead guitar and solos, ambient backing keyboards, and melodic vocals.  Occasionally a band will have all three.  Soilwork is one such band.  Amazing harsh vocals and even better clean choruses, heavy rhythm guitar supplemented by incredibly melodic solos and impressive drums all combine to make a band better than 98% of whatever shit you listen to.  Show me some lame Indie vocalist, and I'll show you vocalist Bjorn Strid, who can break him in half.  Remember, the ability of one band to kick another's ass is part of what makes them so awesome.  The lameness of non-metal music is reflected by the people who play it.
