BabyMetal

[AnAceOfKidneys]

golfing yesterday with a kid I coached a decade ago and he was telling me about BabyMetal. Watched some youtube after the golf round....Don't really know how I feel about this band. It's basically 3 decent metal musicians and 3 Teens (1 singer and 2 dancers and the singer , although she is Japanese and might be kicking ass by Japanese standards, isn't really isn't that strong imo)...meh, something disturbing about their popularity. Google "Rob Halford and Babymetal" is you have the courage....a metal version of a Simon Cowel band?

Okay.

 

[Ouroboros]

Nope.

 

[AnAceOfKidneys]

yeah, probably should have posted this in the Lounge...sorry.

For anyone here who enjoys metal, you should give it a look. Strange.

BabyMetal is awesome.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

So this is basically metal for pedos?

In order to get noticed as a metal band these days you have to have a gimick.

Love me some Babymetal. Found them a few years ago.

Garbage metal for pre-pubescent types and men with moustaches and raincoats.

Garbage metal for pre-pubescent types and men with moustaches and raincoats.

Which pretty much describes a metal fan today.

I'm almost 28 with a goatee and I don't even own a raincoat.

If it's those weird Japanese girls yeah. I'm on my phone low on battery so I can't check. Someone rickrolled me with it a few weeks ago (but I'm not a metal fan). I didn't close it but watched it like a trainwreck.

I think the song was chocolate or had something to do with chocolate.

I certainly get that (especially if you have average talent), but I was almost expecting tentacles to jump out at some point.

These days? Or since the 80's?

That would have been a bit too erotic.

You know, I was going to take issue with this, but he's right. I can't think of any decent metal act that didn't have some gimmick going...GWAR anyone? Still, baby metal is weird even by those standards.

Babymetal is weird, but expected.

 

[Patty Ice]

I like em. They are an easy in for my daughter to get into metal. They are her favorite band but I've been gradually able to play other metal, hardcore, and punk without complaint.

Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer ect. What were their gimicks?

the occult.

 

[Ouroboros]

In what way are South Park style caricatures indicative of the occult?

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are satanists. Plus Metallica sucks balls.
