I'm ... reasonably easily swayed by sex appeal.


Dude, there is a line between guilty pleasures and suicide note.


Serious lulz.

Them's fightin' words? I can't tell them apart from Stain'd, and both those bands kind of sicken me in the way that Disturbed, Godsmack, and the like do--there is just something intrinsically wrong with rock done for pop's sake, I think...

Someone mentioned Winger--have to add them to the list, because "Seventeen" is easily one of the most awkward songs to be vomited out of the '80s. But I still dig it. Also, plenty of Oingo Boingo goes in the same "creepy, but awesome" dish. Also, I forgot to mention shit like Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, and Kamelot--I haven't listened to any of them in forever, but I still enjoy a tune or two.

Sonata Arctica aren't bad. Tony Kakko can sing too... at Bloodstock he was very on-pitch throughout (no autotune as far as I could tell :P )

Kamelot aren't bad either, some of their songs are pretty epic. 'Love You to Death' is catchy, and 'Ghost Opera' is a good song too.

How come Orla never posts on here anymore?

It is so cheesy, but it can be a good laugh. S'nice to have some music that you don't have to take so srsly. I haven't listened to any in quite a while though actually.

She was banned for a month for saying nigger and then when she made a new account to explain the context she meant it in and apologise for causing offence she was permanently banned for making more than one account...

I will concede that power metal has it's place in the world. I for one do thoroughly love a good singalong to Edguy every now and again! :P

No, I'm sorry. That just makes you a cunt.


Fair enough.

In this household, I live with a lot of metal guys who give me a lot of shit for listening to a lot of stuff (the irony is the three of them all have wildly different metal tastes), so I get shit for most of what I listen to...

That said, I only ever feel self conscious, at least these days, when I rock some Running Wild. Not really into German power metal (or any power metal really), but I love stuff that is more in the vain of early 80s metal, even when it's cheesy as this:

I don't know if I have any guilty pleasures, I guess Muse? Everyone I know seems to hate them.

Funny how much vitriol they generate, isn't it?

I'm in the not-ashamed-of-liking-stuff category. But I am an eternal sucker for catchy pop songs that many other people seem to hate. I just enjoy it as entertainment. Justin Timberlake, for example.

Oh, and that Running WIld song rocks!

It makes me so glad I'm almost deaf for the cheese. Couldn't listen to porcupine tree if I wouldn't be able to ignore it. "--moonlight's bleeding from out of your heart--" :|

I love cheesy metal covers. Also loads of 80's/90's indie and rock with a smattering of Jimmy Nail (thanks to my mother *shudders*), early Sega/Tombi/Soul Calibur game soundtracks and...Kernkraft400's 'Zombie Nation' :P

You should probably film it in installments so you can become an internet sensation. Just make sure nothing happens until the end, though. Wouldn't want to lose any of that tension.

That seems easy enough to get around (not like these forums require identification of any sort). Not that I support that sort of thing. I guess I'm either trying to say that she's exceptionally honest or that she's just lurking/posting under another name.

Speaking of ze Germans, Octillus, how about the fucking Scorpions? Seriously bad, but seriously fun.
