>le Justin Beaver argument
Yes, all black metal hipsters have used this argument since before Justin Beaver existed, they and you are still contrarian idiots who like shitty music and aren't the least bit honest with yourselves. It's why your kind will all grow out of metal by the time you're my age, you only like it to seem "different" in the first place and you don't know jack shit about it, twink.

what's your favorite metal band?

I've been obsessing a bit over Slipknot over a past few days, especially Iowa

I love the manic vocals, to the point simple lyrics, drumming, simple but effective riffs and production

shame they never did anything similar again, also don't play those songs live

Retard, I'm much more into trad, thrash and speed than I am into black. Shut your whore mouth and go listen to your favorite shitty teenagers in rubber masks playing metal equivalents of four power chords. You absolute unironical unequivocal ultra-punchable kike nigger.

>what's your favorite metal band?

The best metal band.

not even the best NWOBHM band

>not even the best NWOBHM band
Not for representing the more general/cliche idea of NWOBHM, no, Iron Maiden ascends their so called genre like all the greats and is great beyond any textbook classification or mere "scene". There is lots of great NWOBHM music, there is only one Iron Maiden, who are the best metal band period.

So you're less of a faggot but still a try hard dipshit, congrats brat.

I'm a try-hard for what exactly? For having taste and not liking Slipknot? OK, lad.

Slipknot isn't even one of my favorite bands, I just recognize they are good at what they do and can't be brushed off as some fad nu-metal band as if they were Crazy Town or some shit like you try hards try and paint the narrative to seem like.

Obviously, Slipknot is not for everybody stylistically and they are a fary cry from anything "traditional" in heavy metal, but they stand as a unique band who's had massive success and it isn't comparable to some lame Justin Beiber scenario, to deny this is retarded. You know what band I can't stand? Opeth, I find it to be mind numbingly boring pretentious drivel, but that's just me, I understand that they are good at what they do and that they deserve their rather large fanbase, even if they're not on my Ipod personally.

>Obviously, Slipknot is not for everybody stylistically...
If anything, they blended enough different genres effectively to appeal to a really broad audience, which takes vision and execution.
Brainlets will argue that anything they don't like has no redeeming qualities, horseshit opinions.
