It was the right moment for it coming off the metal renaissance of the 2000s.
for me? it's toki.
>literally biding his time until rights revert back to him
Six more years bros

Funny, I remember the 90s being a much better time for that genre than the 00s, guess you just had to look a little harder.

Pure kino
Why did they make all the characters retards?
>brown hair can't actually play quitar
>Nathan can't read
like wtf?
It varies from episode to episode. Toki(brown) or even Skwisgarr(blonde) in 1 episode admitted they cant read guitar notes and just play a tune and memorize it.
>numetal
>a renaissance
get out
>a fake death metal band is the most profitable death metal band of all time
Still gets me.
Is it really death metal? It sounds more listenable than what I've heard.
i agree it doesn't really have any characteristics of death metal except maybe the singer. it's a weird combination of a lot of metal and heavy metal. only a few songs have death metal guitar playing.
>How did they do it bros?
They realised that great comedy is about pushing boundaries, not just "being silly". Metalocalypse was funny when it was violent, or insanely, over-the-top gothic. The silly conversational shit didn't land. If the humour had just been the latter, like most Adult Swim shows, we would have forgotten it already.
one episode has them out negotiating the Devil with the contract for their souls.
Skwisgarr is seen practicing in almost every scene with him in it. One episode had him waking up and practicing for 4 hours before breakfast without even noticing people were in his room watching him.
Doomstar Requiem is the most kino animated special of all time. Fuck Mike Lazzo as well.
it's melodic death metal if anything, more accessible than death metal for most people
Numetal wasn't even big anymore when this show came out.
Oh I know, thats why i says it depends on the episode on how retarded the chars are. Its all done for comedy, but even then Skwisgarr obviously practices while toki just plays at random(which some how is good enough to rival skwisgarr somewhat)
It's melodic death metal. The two other albums they put out kind of remind me of The Black Dahlia Murder.
I shall NEVER forget Lazo for the way he mistreated this show. Just wanted an end you fucking senile cunt motherfucking faggot. This is a cartoon network. It's literaly called CARTOON NETWORK stop trying to turn your block into the edgier second coming of SCTV just because you got embarassed of being an old man working with drawings.
YOU FUCK.
>Is it really death metal?
listen kid there are more genres of metal than there are genders on tumblr. never open that box of worms.
>Moral Orel
>Metalocalypse
>the continuing decline of Toonami (though that's on Jason DeMarco as well)
Mike Lazzo is such a loathsome cunt, it's a wonder Rick and Morty came and gave a renewed height to AS considering how many fuck ups they've made.
Because Brendon Small writes kino dialogue and vanilla metal that normies can stomach. Despite the goth architecture and excessive violence, the stupid main characters remained entertaining enough to capture a large audience. Very funny show, Home Movies was great too.
Not to mention canceling Aqua Teen. I just thank god he doesn't touch Venture Bros because if that got canceled id just kill myself.
Same. What a bunch of cunts they were over this show. I stopped giving a fuck about AS when they live streamed dumping the emails in the trash.
It amazes me AS gets so much positive press in more normalfag friendly parts of the internet when they've shown such outright contempt to their audience.
Venture Bros is the only show out of the three that should have been cancelled.
Fuck you. VB is great and you’re a fag
What makes you think that? I liked that shows humor and world building.
Mike Lazzo is a massive stoner and absolutely has no connection to his audience, Walter Newman is basically running the show and just hiring people based on their Twitter rep, (Tyler, the Creator, Dan Harmon, Vince Staples).
Lazzo apparently vouched for MDE a bunch but then cancelled them to go on a holiday.
He keeps cancelling good shit (China IL, Metalocalypse, Moral Orel) and pumps out Squidbillies and Robot Chicken.
normies still love Adult Swim, idk who organizes their music and games but it's certainly not Lazzo.
It's been going on for 20 years and had like a decade long hiatus.
it's real famous metal musician character flaws but over exaggerated for comedic effect
Venture Bros is still good, but the quality has been on a steady decline since Season 4, I honestly think the worldbuilding is the problem. Season 2 was the peak and they didn't even care about what the OSI or the Guild were up to every fucking episode.
The Backstreet Boys segment has no right to be as great as it is.
because it's funny that they're the single greatest economic power known to mankind despite being retards
Venture Bros was great when it was a parody of old adventure serials. Now it's just a parody of itself.
All discontent fans of anything are most likely secret nazi russians anyway, don't worry.
>it's never coming back.
It still pisses me off. Thank God we have Seth McFarland making the exact same cartoon over and over and somehow selling it to Fox.
Just a reminder C. Martin Croker was the true genius behind Cartoon Network and Space Ghost.
I dunno, I re watch it every now and then and I think Season 4 just made things different, not worse.
>t. shit taste
ehh. I seem to remember a lot of palm muting and weird synth effects. Technically its closer to metalcore and screamo. Which is funny because the band still has all the aesthetics of like black metal from Scandinavia but the music is a lot more modernized
t. metal autist
became to self aware and now thats all the plot is about same
Toki seems modeled off of Varg but more naive and happy.
>It still pisses me off.
and me such a great fucking show
Now that you say that I never thought of it that way. Now I can kinda see why I laughed more at the older seasons. I need to be alone for a while.
Not talking about nu-metal. 80s metal had a big comeback in the 2000s.
>C Martin Croker died the day World Peace aired it's final episode
He was treated like absolute shit too, just like a bunch of other AS employees.
cartoonbrew.com
>Carey Means, voice of Frylock, never saw any royalties or DVD money from Aqua Teen, was homeless for a few months in 2017
>John Schrepp, Metalocalypse director, died of preventable health concerns due to no insurance plan
>George Lowe (voice of Space Ghost) at 50, had to sell some of his mother's art to pay for her funeral, probably has no retirement plan.
>you can hear the sadness here: youtube.com
Basically Adult Swim showers Seth Green, Dan Harmon and Eric Andre in money while treating most of their writers and producers like absolute shit. They have all the Rick & Morty money now, but I fear nothing will change.
Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were both in dork eras in the 90s.
>Toki seems modeled off of Varg
That explains this scene then: youtube.com
thats because toki scared the fuck out of him the first time he heard him play when they were auditioning for the 2nd guitarist
Mostly filler.
Plot makes no sense.
The last episodes were kino.
They could have put all the good episodes in one season..but it's not a good show
>became to self aware
What does this even mean?
Is that why every normalfag and their mother praised St Anger when it was released?
Sabbath too and arguably Metallica depending on who you ask.
squidbillies is better than the 3 shows you listed
St. Anger is a notable exception (it sucked). However, the massive hype leading up to it is evidence of the atmosphere of the era.
Ozzy and Megadeth had comebacks in the 2000s after very shitty late 90s careers.
>died of preventable health concerns due to no insurance plan
damn Sam is very meta with his bits also
>Carey Means, voice of Frylock, never saw any royalties or DVD money from Aqua Teen, was homeless for a few months in 2017
wtf that fat ass Dana couldn't help him out?
Squidbillies is only good if you live around or know people from the south.
Your post is pretty much what I was implying yeah.
>Headbanger's ball came back
>Nu-metal popularizes old metal by association

Was it ever explained what happened between adult swim and brendon?
I dunno but he still does voices for Venture Bros and I think something on CN.
>massively popular, better than literally any Tim & Eric bullshit show they've ever had
>Adult Swim said they didn't have the budget for the final season
>creator asks fans for funding to help
>makes more than enough to pull it off
>Adult Swim gives him a harder, flat out "No"
What the absolute fuck?
Brendon's explanation is in this podcast: youtube.com
Text summary: loudersound.com
>Reflecting on why he thinks Adult Swim passed on a season finale, Small points to the Metalocalypse Now campaign and says: “What I think really happened was they drove Adult Swim insane – and I think Adult Swim for some reason took it personally.
>“The truth was that people were saying, ‘Hey, what the hell? Where’s our show?’ And they said, ‘No.’ I think somebody is thin-skinned and somebody got their feelings hurt.”
Adult Swim is run by actual manchildren who spite fans out of principle, Brendon seems to not want to cut ties fully with AS probably to be professional.
pretty sure it's because lazzo (huge faggot btw) doesn't like brendon, or at least, is apparently really assmad at home movies for whatever reason
Will there ever be a modern adult cartoon that isn't a comedy? If you are going to say Bojak Horseman that had to disguise itself a comedy at first.
>mfw remembering one of those blurbs or whatever the fuck they call the black screen with text things they do making fun of all the people that wanted the show back
>Skwisgaar: Alexi Laiho, Yngwie Malmsteen
>Toki: Mikael Åkerfeldt, Varg Vikernes
>Murderface: Leslie Mándoki, Lemmi Kilmister, Jason Newsted
>Pickles: Devin Townsend, Roger Taylor, Axl Rose
>Nathan Explosion: Glenn Danzig, George Fisher, Peter Steel
Didn't Lazzo say on some podcast he offered Brendon an hour special deal to finish the show but he said no?
Adult swim actually has a show (online) where a couple trannies and some lesbians cycle through shitty memes and explains them. I'm not kidding.
I used to enjoy those because I thought they were made in jest but realizing they're completely serious in hating a good portion of their audience really started souring me on AS.
If he did that is news to me.
You've got it backwards. Brendan started a successful crowdfunding champaign to fund a finale and AS was basically like "yeah, no. fuck you."
I'm pretty sure Mike Lazzo has never spoken on the record before about anything.
Yeah but all there livestreams are shit
You did finish the story of Metalocalypse right Yea Forums?
favorite song?
Bumpers were pretty kino
deathcore
I've also heard that somehow Small ended up getting most of the money from the actual Metalocalypse albums and that got people at AS really fuckign angry.
no this was after the crowdfunding thing, a bit recent maybe like the last year or two
It's fucking terrible. One of them is constantly begging for money "because making memes is hard work" and he can't do it without living in Las Angeles.
Squidbillies started out good. Seems like it's jumped the shark, probably around the time Rusty got a girlfriend and episodes started to focus more on him

Actually, it was Guitar Hero and Rockband, I'm completely serious.
Metal was at its most popular in the 00s. Then it took a swift decline.
Also mallcore not even once.
I actually really like the first galaktikon album as sweet bubbly joggin music but can't listen to this. I still have hope the story will be properly adapted.

I'm a 29 year old boomer so I didn't really live through it but it seems like some dark days unless you were a real underground madman listening to Slough Feg or Nunslaughter or whoever else was still slogging through it. I like all of Metal Church's 90s stuff but unless you were a WAfag would you even know about them?
China IL wasn't that good and I loved Brad Neely
Guns n' Roses also broke up. Debate whether they are a metal band or not all you like, but it was a significant thing.
>metal renaissance of the 2000s.
NAPSTER BAD
Google "This Is Spinal Tap", zoomer.
t. didn't read the thread and was likely still shitting his diapers at the time
It's not true death metal. It's a combination of melodic death metal and metalcore.
>The new wave of American heavy metal (commonly abbreviated as NWOAHM) was a heavy metal music movement that originated in the United States during the early to mid-1990s and expanded most in the early to mid-2000s
Metal is gone
Trap and Latino era has began!
good clip and nice ironic dubs, user.
I know about the "NWOAHM" (which nobody in the actual metal community uses, by the way), I just think it sucks.
>which nobody in the actual metal community uses, by the way
That's because the metal community is full of contrarian snowflakes who will literally mindlessly reject any label you put on them.
Most second wave bm bands had good runs in the mid/late 90s but you are mostly right
Toki can play the guitar. He's the rhythm guitarist for the band. Nathan is literate. What the fuck are you even talking about?
It's weird because Brendan is doing a metalocalypse concert for an AS event. I guess he really doesn't have hard feelings over it.
You're actually an idiot.
>rhythm guitarist
>can play guitar
CRYSTALS METH!
Do you mean like action cartoons? Because no. It's way cheaper and takes less time to buy the rights for an anime, and dub it than to create something entirely new. Pokemon basically killed Saturday morning cartoons.
jesus christ that's depressing
Does this include metalcore garbage?
It's all metal that was popular during the 2000s(bands like A Day To Remember, or Attack Attack) so yes. I wouldn't even call it a reinissance, just a trend.
I think perhaps the repeated skit of how Skwisgaar admits they rerecord all Toki's shit with Skwisgaar playing instead and things alike.
Personally I don't mind it at all though.
2nd wave black metal aka the best time to be a metal fan was in the mid-late 90s
Then again 90% of this board grew up in the 00s so they wouldn't know
This show went to shit when they stretched out 15 minutes into 30 minutes.

All literally who's other than Rust in Peace and Type O Negative.
Agreed about BM.
That's a great list but you're kind of proving my point, maybe ~5 of them were released after 1994. and for every one of them you have some baffling misstep like pic related. If you were there in the 90s and got to experience it before the advent of filesharing and archives then I envy you.
What's pic related tho
that list is mostly entry level death metal, user. if those bands are literally whos to you then you need to do some serious listening before you spout a metal related opinion again

This isn't Yea Forums for you to jerk off over *core
>underground and niche acts from outside the US and UK
>Metal was totally mainstream in the 90s you retards!!!
Intro level af. Are you 14?
Death metal is, always has been, and always will be niche. In the year 2000 Metallica did the soundtrack to a Tom Cruise movie.
melodeath and deathcore are actually pretty popular with normies and every metalhead should be familiar with classic osdm like bolt thrower, death, and morbid angel
Every time I hear this I think Anthony Stewart Head is on vocals and when I realise its not, I wish it was.
No matter how many bands you name off it won't make any more of a point that metal was somehow in this golden age in the 90s. It's just more autism where you can't understand that lull in popularity != people stop making music altogether.
When did I say it was mainstream?
9 1/2
That is the entire premise of the discussion in this thread stemming from the 2nd post, along with the AS discussion. If you can't keep up then stop posting.
It was definitely better off than it was in the 2000s. What are the classic 2000s metal albums?
That's because Skwisgar is dildos.
>It was the right moment for it coming off the metal renaissance of the 2000s.
>Funny, I remember the 90s being a much better time for that genre than the 00s, guess you just had to look a little harder.
Take your own advice, dipshit.
When you called someone a moron because said that he remembered the 90s being a better genre than the 2000s
and then someone replied that the two of the most iconic metal bands in history were in their worst eras during that time period. Then you here
Named off a shit-ton of bands and albums 99% of people have never heard of with the idea that because albums were being released and liked by a loyal but minority of people that means the 90s were a better time to be metal fan and/or metal was more popular.
The 2000s was about the re-discovery of everything that had been put out in the 80s and 90s. That's why the word renaissance is appropriate.
I like Fear Factory and Acid Bath. What does this say about me?
The world building is what makes the show so unique. They put so much effort into writing each episode with continuity. Seeing all the characters grow and change the world is the reason the show works
Fear factory is okay but Acid Bath sucks
your taste is mediocre and you're slightly gay
>Named off a shit-ton of bands and albums 99% of people have never heard of
Holy shit, dude; If you think you the albums on my list are obscure you are an extreme tourist and have no business discussing metal with anyone. I posted maybe 3 albums that I wouldn't expect most metal fans to recognize.
>Acid Bath sucks
I was expecting you to say FF sucks and Acid Bath is okay. Since, AB is a great underground band and FF is mostly generic power/industrial metal.
What are you opinions of Trivium, this is important
I don't hear you naming any albums.
The Devils Blood - The Time of No time Evermore
In Solitude - The World, the Flesh, the Devil
MGLA - Excercise in Futility
MIDNIGHT - Satanic Royalty
Atlantean Kodex - the White Goddess
Solstice - White Horse Hill
All classics. Looking at Maiden you cam safely add Brave New World. Also Yea Forums knows nothing about the buisness. Maiden and King Diamond are playing the biggest tours ever. So does metallica. Records sells stopped shrinking too even tho Metal never had the problem to the same extend as other Genres sans Jazz.
I'm not going to at any point. I'll let you be that guy.

Is metal the most fartsniffing genre? All I ever hear about it is fans going "no X is not real metal, now Y is the REAL shit".
>Arguing about metal genre names
jfc who gives a shit
as long as the name gives you at least some idea about what bands or kind of music it refers to then it's useful
None of those are remotely close to The Red in the Sky is Ours, None So Vile, Through Silver in Blood, Obscura, or a dozen other 90s extreme metal albums
There's either a babby in this thread or a very sad old autist who can't let go because this discussion has been had 100,000 times before elsewhere.
Ascendancy and Ember to Inferno are their only good albums, they fell off afterwards.
Yep. And the autistic subgenre labeling
>NOOOOO THAT'S NOT DOOM THAT'S STONER METAL BECAUSE. IT HAS A BONG RIP IN THE INTRO AND WEED ON THE COVER! CAN'T YOU SEE THE GLARING DIFFERENCE
Look at this thread. That should say enough.
I'm still waiting for the collective admittance that black metal fans never actually listen to the music and enjoy it. They just like the idea of it and the aesthetic.
My favorites from the 00s aren't really "classic" in the genre defining way, they're just niche iterations of already established styles.

Even though I like Filosofem this is true. Trvefags shit on Deafhaven over the fucking album cover(it wasn't black and white) and say "hurr this is mall bm" when Hot Topic kiddies eat black metal aesthetic shit up.
this plus Crimson, Cowboys From Hell, Images and Words
a lot of great metal albums in the 90s
also I'm retarded and meant to link
Ignore this I could've sworn it was at least late 2000s. Whoops.

True. Guitar Center had more sales than they ever did because of these games. I miss rhythm games.
Pantera was the only band carrying the flag of metal in the 90's, metal was fucking dead by 1995, all the big bands split or went into retardo pop metal, numetal and Indus and only came back to their senses in 2001.

The show came out in 2006 and Guitar Hero in 2005 so I'm not sure if that's enough time to call it a contributing factor but it's definitely a sign of the prevailing culture that allowed them both to exist.
What the fuck does this post even mean?
I actually got laid several times at different parties just from being really good at guitar hero. It was like I was actually in a band and actually knew how to play an instrument. In reality I'm just good at pressing buttons in the sequence I read on screen, but if that's all it took to dick some dumb thots, I'll take what I can get.
