Or CV's being binned because of the applicant's name. E.g. Barbie (poor girl). These days it'd be Chardonnay, I presume.

How can you be non-binary when the basis of non-binary depends on there being a binary in the first place?? You know, two immutable biological sexes. I'm not getting into this again, don't worry.

Twenty years ago in Terrorizer magazine (a publication for metal that covered extreme/underground genres) there was a long running debate about the coverage of metal bands associated with any far right output. Every month on the Letters page, there were people writing in disagreeing with previous viewpoints in letters published the month before, and so on. It went on for some time, if I recall.

What’s all this “cis” gender spectrum nonsense? We don’t all buy into labels and the societal construct of gender, which is built upon nothing more than restrictive stereotypes and tied into flawed ideological BS ideas about identity that are not rooted in biological truth or critical thinking. Also, if anyone asks, my pronouns are Father Christmas/Your Majesty/I am not vain enough to dictate how people should refer to me in the third person when I am not present.

Skrill is a legit platform, as a pp said. But it's a red flag. People are only on there once they've been booted from Paypal for scamming. I speak from experience ... However, Skrill do have report features and can also ban its users.

It was 2004 👍

Controversial 😂

I don't blame you. Reducing people to mere skin colour and formulating a response purely on that basis is racist. IBTL

You can cook, you can f--k, you can do the washing up ... Oh sorry.

I watched a documentary ages ago about some kids in Scandinavia who were black metal fans. They'd committed a murder "in the name of Satan" and it was all about should metal be getting the blame. To be fair, they had been dipping their toes into the dark art by all accounts, probably for " a laugh". There was a clip from a Slayer show and they were playing that track, with a massive pit going on. The video froze every couple of milliseconds to display the song lyrics on the screen, and that's where I read the words for the first time. I suppose it was trying to show the glorification of violence.

Some of my mates still wear corpse paint to gigs and we're all hitting 50 now. Keeping the dream alive eh 😆

This I did not know. Brilliant. CoF has such a young demographic. And there it is - here kids, shock your parents! Dani Filth might have a voice that sets your teeth on edge but he's clearly got a brain too. Fair play to him $$$$

Offensive metal lyrics is just art and theatre. Nothing more. Don't overthink it, it means nothing. It's just music. Slayer's Sex Murder Art is up there with the Cannibal Corpse stuff for offensiveness: "Take my fist and violate every orifice" Well! I thought you'd never ask 😍

Beer 'n sex n' chips n' gravy! 😁 I love The Macc Lads, always have. But then again, I find Steven Lynch highly amusing so ...

Plenty of mileage left in that joke, for sure 🤣 (Huge DE fan here also). I saw this comment yesterday on Facebook when Megadeth posted the results of their annual Christmas card competition...

I use GHS 👍

Very good.

Nailed it, as usual 👍

The Bush/Belladonna debate is a strong one and I get why people love Bush more. Saw him a couple of times on tour and can't fault the man. Belladonna will always have a place in my heart that can't be moved.

Ha! I wear cowboy boots everyday still. Those buckle on chains for boots were sooo cool! Haven't seen them around for many years, sadly. We digress.

It wasn't even the sound of nu metal that annoyed me the most - it was the LOOK. Yes, I am aware of the irony of that statement following on from 80's spandex.

Not so much overrated (it was rubbish, obviously) but the arrival of grunge signalled many changes to metal as we knew it from the 80's. On top of that, weird things were happening ... Bruce Dickinson left Maiden, Vince Neil left Motley Crue, Joey Belladonna left Anthrax. On top of that, 90's metal sounds began emerging that took time to reconcile. I have never really got on with industrial as a result. I remember feeling like someone had pulled a carpet out from underneath my feet.

It's about potentially making money off someone else's work. If you video yourself playing bass along to a song and post it on your Facebook, it will often mute the video after the first ten seconds or pop up a message that says "Are you SURE you want to post this, we know it's not yours?!".

I think A Forest will be my next track to learn, cheers!

I didn't find AC's comments offensive either. Nadine Shah's comment was just reactionary. In my opinion. Seems like a silly thing to get your knickers in a twist over ...
