System Of A Down were amazing like always, I was hesitating to go since I though the bill sucked balls except for them. But my son was dying to see SOAD again a quite frankly I knew that even thought I basically paid 2 X 90$ for us just for SOAD that would still be a bargain. I was right. They were really inspired and the crowd was nuts chanting on everything. Great show

I didn't know any other bands really and in my humble opinion they pretty much were all awful, especial Cannibal Corpse. From reading reviews on here, I know a lot of you guys dig them and I don't see any good reason why. Probably the worst music I ever heard.


My ranking of the bands I've seen:


Kataklysm: 5/10
Cannibal Corpse: 0/10
Killswitch Engage: 6.5/10
Deftones: 7/10
Five Finger Death Punch: 6.5/10
System Of A Down: 10/10


Cheers !

Do you like death metal at all? They're not the best death metal band in the world, far from it, but any time I've seen them they've been pretty solid. At the very least, they're excellent musicians. Maybe they had an off day, but to say "worst music I ever heard" has to be a huge exaggeration.

no it's not my type of music at all, hell, I hardly find it's music. Just a lot of noise with the awful growling. I'm not that much into categorizing bands in certain genres but as far as death metal goes apart from Amon Amarth (who are a lot more melodic) I don't think I like anything.

Well there ya go.

But honestly, why even write that? You're adding nothing to the thread... it'd be like a country music fan providing an opinion on Iron Maiden. It reminds me of my dad commenting on my music when I was a teenager, "Why are the guitars so high? Why is it so fast? Why is the singer always yelling?" If you don't understand it at the most basic level, which as far as death metal goes, CC pretty much is the most basic level, why comment on it at all?

, especial Cannibal Corpse. From reading reviews on here, ]

I hope you die a slow, painful death.

Five Finger Death Punch: 6.5/10
System Of A Down: 10/10



No, just no. No way in hell is FFDP better than CC,Kataklysm, or even on pair with KSE. Oh I think you meant -6.5. Yeah that would make more sense.

[PowerMaiden]

hahaha you guys are funny. I don't like them they're awfull to me. Good for you if you do like 'em


Cheers !

Why on earth would anyone skip KSE?

[El Gordo]

Well those guys ARE shitty! :lol:

My opinion of course. You are welcome to have your own.

I will lunge at you like a puma for saying that. :lol:

FTFY


Don't you also like Children of Bodom too? I guess that's also on the more melodic side too though.

yes, Bodom, Amon Amarth, Death are all bands that I really like that all have death metal elements into their music. But by saying ''worst music ever heard' I was not trying to insult all you fans of CC. It's just that, like El Gordo said, I absolutely don't understand what people find good about this music and what to like about it. They are probably really good at what they do I guess. But to me it's just horrible, almost painful :lol:

Went to Heavy MTL last year (only for the second day, as I went to Mayhem in MA a couple days before) and had an awesome time! Didn't go this year because most of the lineup I have seen recently or will be seeing soon. The only bands that i still need to see there are Deftones and Suicidal Tendencies, but I hope to see them in clubs at some point. Plus, there was no way I could justify spending the money, but I do want to get back to Montreal soon! Maybe next year!

[HugeRockStar]

I've been to every Heavy MTL and I think this is the most fun I've had at the fest. Favorite bands were Gojira, Overkill, Suicidal Tendencies, Exhumed, Killswitch and Diemonds.
