Am I the only person who truly believes that Dimebag was a only decent -- if that -- guitar player and not ZOGM AMEZAGINGIGNA?
You want some badass metal? Shit that'll really put hair on your chest? Go listen to Eyehategod and Acid Bath.
Also, Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Burger as "black metal" seriously? Seriously? Darkthrone, Arcturus, Ansur, Ambiex, Withered, Darkspace, Wolves in the Throne Room, Goatwhore, Behemoth, even Skeletonwitch. Then listen to Cradle of Bad Goth and Demon Burger.
One more thing, and this is directed at altpersona, hardcore is not metal. It's an outgrowth of the punk scene; it's punk on 'roids basically. And wasn't Suicidal crossover thrash and then turned into a rapcore group later.
