Metal Pet Peeves

Many bands now finance their own recordings and only work with record labels for distribution that way they retain possession of their own masters.  If the record company pays for the recording...they own it.

I would bet the 2015 short summer Maiden England tour (with a few different songs) was really the "pay for The Book Of Souls" tour (along with add a little extra to the corp - I have NO issue with that as it is a business they are also running.)

I think Manowar is in on it. For their sake, I hope they are.

My pet peeve is more of a specific one, and that's in my local metal scene, if you don't like thrash or extreme metal then there's not much for you. Even the more melodic bands tend to employ harsh vocals to some extent, so for someone who generally doesn't like that vocal style, it can be rather frustrating.

#3 for sure. I was so happy that the Relentless cover art didn't involve rotting flesh eaters. So tired of this standard.

I think you made him mad. "Metal Thrashing Mad"

I think there have been plenty of songs in history with the words "Rock", "Metal", "Thrash", "Headbang-Headbanging-Headbanger", etc.  Can't really think of what's left to add there, I have a feeling those topics have been sufficiently explored already...like we never needed any more past the 1980s.....
