Why do people like everything that is comercialised?
Popular anime (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), Slipknot, Metallica (newer stuff), In Flames (newer stuff), iPods, etc...

They're just so hyped that it would almost be a shame NOT to watch/listen/buy them.
Everything that I noted down in the above list are things that I do not like (though I really do like manga/anime, I do like thrash metal/melodic death metal, I do have some kind of mp3).

There is only a small minority who does not go slong with those 'mainstream' things and follow their own path.
But I guess that's not really something to discuss here.

Well im not such a person-i dont like anime,I like to listen to Hard Rock and 80s metal.And i dont have an I pod.And i love not beeing a part of the clones.
 
KE is much more comercialised as Dio, you can see that by looking in the Top 100, is there anywhere a dio song? but there was a KE song, and that already multiple times.

So watch your talking if you have no idea....

Additional to that, I don't like mainstream anime too, I love to listen to heavy metal, hard rock, power metal and 80s music... so I guess I am not such a emo-clone from planet britney spears....

Well, Arvedui is seriously a blender who thinks that his opinion is a fact, after what he writes... thats sad.

Screw it, Pink is a better fucking singer than Dio.

Uhmm..sorry dude thats not true lol...pink sucks...(i still enjoy KE more)

So watch your talking if you have no idea....

Isn't that what I said?

Why do people buy so many Rap albums? Because they're sheep and they're told to.

Not all rap is crap, but 99.9% of it is. But in general it's the 99.9% that gets commercialized and bought. Much like Dio.

Obviously! Says the person who is acting as though he knows everything.

I'm sorry if you can't come up with a decent counter-argument. Is your position that piss-poor that you have to resort to trying to insult me?

Oh well, I guess that'll happen when you don't actually know what you're talking about.


Uhmm..sorry dude thats not true lol...pink sucks...(i still enjoy KE more)

Thus the joke/point.

Yay for absolutely stupid comparisons! Dio was just as commercial as Killswitch is back in the 70s-80s.

And Maybe there isn't a Dio song in the top 100 right now because he's 67 years old, and his last real album was in 2004 (as far as I know). Or do you not understand that?

Actually, looking at his albums on Wikipedia, his last album made it to 7th in the US Top Independent Albums.

Research. Imagine that.

No, KE isn't as commercialised as Dio.
Dio is a branch of Black Sabbath, that gives Dio instant fame (I only know the Liquid Trio bands because of Dream Theater, for example).

I mean, o hey, Edguy is higher ranked than Dio, let's call them commercialised!
That's not how it works... (and yes, I do like Edguy and I do have a T-shirt of them, but they are NOT commercialised).

So watch your talking if you have no idea....
Yet again: you think you know it all.
I don't know everything about the subject, but I do have a basic idea of this, so please stop saying that other people have "no clue at all" (you've said this multiple times), because I really do.
You didn't give an actual argument why KE is more commercialised than Dio, you just said "they're higher in the rankings - end of story".

Additional to that, I don't like mainstream anime too, I love to listen to heavy metal, hard rock, power metal and 80s music... so I guess I am not such a emo-clone from planet britney spears....
Glad to hear that... though the early In Flames could describe it better.

You've given a better example than I could give, but this is basically what I meant with my commercialised-story.
 
You want me to argument for a good singer against a alternative band? are you kidding me? I don't need any arguments, you defeat yourself....

Just go and bury yourself.

And by the way, try to find a Dio T-Shirt, you won't find a shop with masses of merchandise for dio... first indicator for a non-commercialised band, second indicator: they never played at "The Dome", third indicator: they never made commercials, or some kind of advertising, so, what is so "commercialised" about Dio?

Stop please talking, thanks alot.

It seems that your arguments are filled with the blatant ignorance of this forum.

And now, just go in your corner, and listen to your Killswitch Engage Alternative Metal crap and leave people alone which actually have a taste for music.

You keep bringing up that Killswitch is an alternative (I don't understand where you get this from), but even if KE was alternative why would that suddenly make their singer suck? So yeah, you do need arguments.

Just go and bury yourself.

What was that I said about flaming earlier and you said who me?

Want a Dio t-shirt?

Does someone need a hug because other people have valid arguments?

Yeah why would you have to provide any kind of argument!

Emo. Lulz.

Holy God you're an idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MwMXXuWKAc

Is that Dio in that Commercial? Yep, I think it is! 1st result on Youtube.

Stop please talking, thanks alot.

In other words: "Stop being so mean, I have no arguments!"

It seems that your arguments are filled with the blatant ignorance of this forum.

Yet, you refuse to answer me. I (and Wherewolf, and ap0calypse) have refuted your supposed "points" several times now and your only answer is that we have no taste in music. You're awesome!

And now, just go in your corner, and listen to your Killswitch Engage Alternative Metal crap and leave people alone which actually have a taste for music.

If this statement got any more ignorant it might actually make me fall off my chair with laughter.

Seriously, thanks for the completely asinine "discussion" redscores. Gotta love it.

Reason: someone in this thread is trying to argue without actually listening to other people or having any arguments to add in the discussion, is generalising a personal opinion (that we all have a bad taste of music because we like KE) and is getting close to flaming ("Just go and bury yourself").
I'm just sick of hearing "stop talking" and "you don't know anything about it", while the one who is saying this doesn't have any reason to say so and is just plain ignorant.

I do think before I write (type) anything, I have given real arguments (Dio was instantly famous because they're a branch of Black Sabbath for example).

And if you want to know: I got Edguy's T-shirt because I went to their concert, in a small pub with about 300 people... I didn't go to a shop to buy a T-shirt, I doubt if I would find one in the first place (and I only buy T-shirts at live concerts, I never buy them in a shop/internet).

I already said: you defeated yourself by comparing Dio with KE and saying that KE is better.

You really just never learn Anything.

You defeated yourself

have you EVEN been paying attension? Seriously mate...
and This is Exactly what you did.

And now, just go in your corner, and listen to your Killswitch Engage Alternative Metal crap and leave people alone which actually have a taste for music.

Well clearly the one without taste is you...if KE = Crap then OMG Dio = (u know what, its not even worth going that low).......

someone in this thread is trying to argue without actually listening to other people or having any arguments to add in the discussion

Thank you ap0calypse....


Well, to be serious, I have no idea why I should argue with some people out of the internet about my opinion and my music taste, so I just don't take you seriously, I am not someone who has to prove anything

that means you dont have to prove anything...so why are you fighting again KE?

Stop please talking, thanks alot.

we will enjoy it alot thanks espesially when you dont have any arguments...
