Buckcherry - Black Butterfly

OK, much as I HATE genre wars, if you're going to split the forums into metal and hard rock + other, where does AC/DC go? We currently have a "Black Ice" thread in HoM. By the strict Eyesore definition, that should be moved to this forum.

IMO, that's the stupidity of splitting hard rock from metal. Too many bands fall in the middle. Better to have a metal/hard rock forum and an "other" forum.

Which, BTW, I think was the original intent. How about a mod or admin chiming in on this?

We also have a Kix thread in Hom. By today's definition, that ain't metal either; it's hard rock.

This whole discussion is ludicrous.

Put hard rock and metal in one forum and anything else in another. Most of us can at least recognize that distinction.

This is my vote as well, but apparently some mods don't see it that way, even though the board has been set up to do just that.

I think the forum names, and the descriptions that go with them are confusing and contradictory. Take for example this forum, "It's only Rock and Roll...''. From the title to the thread, it implies that all rock releated stuff should go here, but the description reads it is for "non metal/hard rock". So this forum is for rock, but not hard rock? WTF?

I think the thread names and/or the descriptions that go with them need to be changed or revised. Buckcherry are clearly not a METAL band, so, IMO they should not be in a forum called the "Heart of METAL", but if you go by the description to the "Heart of Metal" forum, it can be debated that that is the most appropriate place for them.

I think if a band is metal, it belongs in "Heart of Metal." If a band is anything else, it belongs in "It's only Rock 'n Roll...". So what about bands that walk a fine line between the two generes? A simple solution: If the band has a listing on Metal Archives then they are a metal band. If not, then they are not metal and do not belong in the "Heart of Metal" forum.

Sorry if I stired up a hornets nest........

And even though one of'em moved my thread, the admins/mods still stay quiet on the subject... They must be in session right now discussing the matter.

Yeah, where's the clarification?

I'm not staying quiet, I just don't give a s**t.....

Why am I not surprised?

Ive seen the round and round a zillion times....I personally think we never needed a "Rock" room..."F**k it, just have one room for all the music...but no too many were crying about this is a metal forum and that is sooooo not metal. So we build a room for rock...Then the trouble was deciding what went where....

I could not give a toss...I post my (for the most part) ignored threads where I think they need go and if they get moved, they get moved. No biggie.

Let the posts fall where they may!

A new Def Leppard post coming up soon in HoM from me!

But some clarification would be helpful.

Personally, I think this forum is for music that is not hard or heavy. Post your rap, country, Celtic, folk, etc. here.

Everything else goes in HoM.

At least that's how I interpret the forums. But I too, don't really care if a thread I post gets moved. It would just be nice to have some clarification...

wish in one hand and s**t in the other and see which one fills up faster

This is digusting.

I don't see how this is such a big deal. I'm the one that suggested a rock forum ages ago. Now I regret it. The HoM forum should be for metal. Simple enough. And it's not hard to decide what is metal and what is not. The rock forum should have everything else.

There are some forums that have it broken down into sub-categories. For example:

Heavy, Prog, Power and True Metal
Death, Black and Thrash
Doom, Gothic and Dark Metal
Rock, Hard-Rock and AOR
Avant-garde, Alt-Metal and Other Genres

No issues at that forum. Yet here we have two forums and it's a big deal.

I am not a fan of Buckcherry, thank you.

I really like this new one.

I think "Tired of You" is the best song on the album. Just a great rocker that gets me pumped up. They did an awesome job playing this on Crue Fest.
