I wouldn't really rank the 3 either but I grew up with Harry Potter where as I was too young to fully understand LOTR at the time. Star wars is good but tbh I only enjoyed the original 3, not the recent 3 made.

I've never seen Star Wars, am I missing anything?

Only got around to watching the Harry Potter films last summer.

Rewatch LOTR. Also if you included the Hobbit there, that would be my favourite fairly easily.

Same here. Will jam to Taylor Swift, Sam Smith and One Direction, don't care what people think.

Nearly 3 years actually, they've recently made it mainstream though yeah.

I really despise bands as a concept anyway (personal taste), seems like a bunch of mugs wasting away their days playing ****ty music. Even more so do I hate Gary ****ing Barlow and take that, really want to punch the guy.

Yup meant them. Also add in heavy metal ****s trashing hotel rooms and causing ear deficiencies.

Just no. That is some awful music. Best band of 2000's for UK is Rixton.

I haven't heard The Libertines albums but if they're better than the first two Arctic Monkeys albums they must be superb.

Artic Monkeys I would probably say is one of the best bands to come from the UK. Come on man, Rixton are way too recent to be considered the best of the 2000's and aren't they pop anyway.

That's quite a strong stereotype to hold over "bands" in general though. Agree that I generally hate your typical indie hipster teen that thinks he's special because he listens to the doors but the stereotype doesn't really hold true. Also a lot of heavy metal is more than just "trashing hotel rooms" and causing ear deficiency's. There are some god awful artists which just sound like noise but the same can be said about Grime, hip hop, RnB or any style.

You tell me, is this ****ing music?

People will listen to anything these days man.

Why is it the music of the devil? Too broad a genre to claim stuff like that.

Are you religious?

Firstly let's clarify I said its my opinion, just as you hold yours.

I have never liked rock music and what it stands for. I see it as music of the devil, an evil unto the world that has brought nothing but weird people and death lovers. You could argue the same about rap I suppose but these things always existed on a wide scale.

I'd put money down that there is probably just as much, if not more RnB/Hip hop songs which promote sin as there is in rock/metal.

Also why state "it's your opinion". That's stating the obvious and I never said you weren't allowed to voice it

Please quote me or I miss your posts.

How do you mean? I don't think that's got much to do with it.

Yeah came across as I was having a go at you, was gonna edit but forgot lel. Meant to say obviously my opinion isn't the only one and I'm saying that's how I view these genres as opposed to me saying that's what they explicitly are, and that you disagreeing is fair enough.

I agree but I didn't mean sin. Of course hip hop has done a lot of bad to the world, all music has and it doesn't really contribute anything but that's another debate. It's just there's no positive from Rock I can take, it doesn't sound pleasing to me or like music should.

Why do you think it's the music of the devil? What makes it that? Using words like evil and devil suggests a religious undertone.

It's a very strange opinion to be honest. Like really strange. Where did you get this idea from?

If it doesn't sound pleasing to you then that's fair enough. Rock music is mostly light and I don't think that's what you're talking about (e.g bands like Red hot chilli peppers or say Green day etc) but I know where you're coming from. Most people have painted this image in their minds that almost all heavy/black or whatever metal is about devil worshipping, sin or just hate in general. I'd say that's completely false however. A lot of the most popular metal bands are anti-war/government and generally write about suffering or what's wrong with the world too. I get that the style is off putting and harder to listen to for most people, but when you sit down and explore the genre then you'll realise that it has a lot more meaning to it then people think. I'm not going to deny that there aren't any satanic elements to some metal artists/songs but like you've mentioned, the same could be said about RnB/Hip hop and other genres.



Here's an album cover from one of the biggest metal bands in history. It looks pretty extreme at first, but read the caption and have a think.

Anyone been to the Koko in camden? What's it like? I've only been to Wembley Arena so far which is pretty good but some smaller bands I listen to are playing at smaller venues. Had a friend who recommended that I go to smaller venues because of a better atmosphere, and better sound?
