Apparently the crowd requested St. Anger to be played, so they must have been on drugs. Well, considering the drums sounded like DRUMS instead of METAL TRASH CANS, the song was a bit tolerable. Oh, Lars Ulrich didn't play any of the double bass parts with double bass, so surprising :/

By hardcore I meant hardcore punk, not like post-hardcore. I was referring to how most people say thrash metal is a combination of a New Wave of British Heavy Metal and hardcore punk, especially with Metallica. Then you look at bands like Slayer, and you can see where the speed, black, and doom metal influences start to show. On topic, I can kind of deal with deathcore better than metalcore. I still think it could use some lead guitar, and not just breakdowns and heavy blast beat riffs. Then again, it would seem like it would just turn into death metal. My main problem with metalcore and post-hardcore is its strong similarity to pop music. To me, metal is about being different from other genres, and then you see bands come out with mainstream clothing breakdowning, power chording, and screaming away in the name of metal. It just is not metal to me. Oh, and don't get me started about nu-metal...

I'm sorry that it provided such an unpleasant experience. My chapter's only problem is its inactivity. We haven't met in months.

Of course, thrash gets half of its sound from hardcore punk, but it seems most metalcore bands nowadays are the same sellouts over and over again. Lyrics about failed relationships, overuse of breakdowns, pop sounding choruses. And the worst part, some of the fans flip sh*t when you try to express your opinion. By the way, yes, I do know Avenged Sevenfold's first two albums are metalcore albums. I typically don't listen to those albums.

Yes, I am a DeMolay.

I personally don't like metalcore, post-hardcore, etc., but I am interested to see what the majority of the community thinks.
