I read an interesting message from Kam Lee (Death/Massacre) over on blabbermouth and I wanted to share it with you guys to see what you thought.
Anyone?
"ONCE MORE PEOPLE... NO!!!! I DO NOT HATE METAL!
"What I do hate is the current state of the overall 'metal scene'... the scene in which I played a very crucial part in... the scene in which I even helped create!
"Extreme metal - death metal - black metal - hard-core - punk... these terms are thrown around and placed in catagories for bands that - by their 'true' nature - should not be using these terms to label themselves!
"It makes me wanna puke my bloody guts out when some ignorant 14-year-old tells me that bands like SYSTEM OF THE DOWN or SLIPKNOT are death metal... Motherfucker, that makes me ill!
"When some prog-metal fuck nut tells me that OPETH is black metal, I want to rip his fucking head off and shit down his neck!
"When some little goth slut tells me that MARY-FAGGOT MANSON is extreme metal... I wanna see her ass raped by a rhino with herpes!
"When some emo-faggot kid says the shit bands he listens to are hardcore... I see murder in my eyes! (Fuck it — I just wanna murder these emo pukes anyway!) or when some trendy fashion whore says that Gwen Stefani is punk — I wanna beat that bitch with a baseball bat!
"My point is... the metal scene has become overrun with both bands and fans that have no idea the real history of metal!
"I fucking hate the radio media bullshit that is forced upon this new generation of mindless monkeys... I blame not only the corperate nut sacks for destroying 'my' scene, but also the new breed of bands and fans that have just jumped on the metal bandwagon!
"This too can be said of the punk scene... especially the punk scene and the 'true/real' hardcore scene...
"Fuck it!
"Face it, my 'true' brothers and sisters of the 'real'... our scene is lost!"
