Considering he made a bagpipe metal...I agree And what's wrong with Jimmy Page...he won't let Cameron Crowe use "Stairway" in a pivitol scene in "Almost Famous", but let P. Diddy rape "kashmir" is fine with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 14, 2004 I did not know Mariah Carey covered Def Leppard...I must shoot myself now. Because of Mariah or because of Def Leppard? I pick Def Leppard as the bigger offender, but anyone who would cover a Def Leppard song needs their head examined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2004 And who thought that Avril covering "Fuel" was a good idea? Not sure if Metallica themselves thought it was a good idea... but given their decisions in the last couple of years, I wouldn't doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2004 Supposedly there were live mp3s on the net of Avril covering System of a Down's "Chop Suey!" However, she didn't put out the effort to learn the lyrics and just ends up screaming gibberish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, yes, I have weakness for it as well. Who has all done it so far? I know of KISS, Metallica, and Scorpions for certain. It's been a while since I've seen/heard a new Vh1 list -- guess they must be running out of ideas, thank God... Naw, they've got plenty of ideas still. They haven't done the Top VH1 Lists marathon...yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 I watched part of this list ... until I remembered that all of these awful VH1 list-shows piss me off. First of all, shouldn't appearing in VH1 be worthy of a place on a "Least Metal" list?!? Second of all, am I the only one that noticed the irony of people like LA Guns making fun of hair bands like Bon Jovi or Europe? Third of all, did anyone really consider a band like Nelson to be all that metal in the first place? Last of all, how is Avril covering Metallica less metal than Snoop? Pop is no further from metal than rap ... they should have done the entire Icon show if they wanted to reference that as a non-metal moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pop is no further from metal than rap ... they should have done the entire Icon show if they wanted to reference that as a non-metal moment. Rap is very much so closer to metal than pop is. For one thing, artists of metal and rap tend to come from similar upbringings originally (for example, Sabbath came from an industrial town with many broken families, and the majority of the band was pretty poor when they first started jamming; early rap acts came from the ghetto's of the inner-city, where a hard life is expected), both gain huge amounts of unfair controversy (the Religious Right blaming Ozzy Osbourne for teen suicides after releasing "Suicide Solution," a song about Ozzy's alcoholism; media blaming the rise in gangs and urban violence on rap music, when rap music was finally telling people how life actually was for them), and neither rappers nor metal musicians are actually admired for their respective talents (the often amazing speeds that metal musicians play at, and blistering technicality of the music; the awkward rhymes and flow of rap vocals, while also making sure the sampling of beats and their own creations sound good with the rhythm of the vocals). Pop? Most of the time, it's music played by musicians that just want to make a few bucks, and only comes under the fire of mothers that don't want their children dressing like Britney Spears does.
