sideBOTS 1 - The Metal - Round 7 - This Would Make A Banger Theme

[Just Juice]

Current listen has left me with one thought.

Good wrestling entrance potential and good metal songs

are not always the same thing.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I'm pretty passionate about the genre

beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose as well - you may have to try to get in people's head and listen to the lyrics as well - as people may have been thematic about their choice depending on what kind of character wrestling wise they seem themselves at

DEEP THOUGHTS!

I can relate sister

To be clear I'm not really that bothered that Hell's Bells was chosen due to its genre, I just don't like AC/DC or that song in particular, since when I was a kid I'd always be disappointed that it wasn't For Whom The Bell Tolls But also, I really don't see the need to stretch the parameters of "metal" to include hard rock, which to me, pretty clearly falls outside of metal even if you can make a case for some shit ambiguously being metal-ish, when you can just like... choose an actual metal song. But that's just my thoughts.

1 - EVERY FUCKING TIME. I can relate to this so much lmao

2- Agreed, it's really not hard to pick a metal song. You all know what the theme and the point of these exercises are, it would be great if people stopped trying to game the system because ''well, technically...''. No, just take a fucking metal song. There's thousands upon thousands. It's not hard and if you don't want to pick metal songs, why have you (hypothetical person) signed up in the first place?

Just my opinion as well, shit just kind of annoys me when the point of this is to clearly learn and enjoy METAL. Keep your rock songs for regular BOTS

 

[Hosferatu]

On the bright side it looks like there's some very hard shit chosen this round

I am not a fan of AC/DC. In fact I used to always say " Hell's Bells I fucking hate AC/DC" not a knock on anyones choice I just don't care for them, I don't care for a lot of things.

One of the problems is Rock Stations. My rock station plays Metal and Rock interchangeably. Which is why there is fluidity in people's minds. Like within 5 songs I'll get Slipknot, Disturbed,, Metallica, AC/DC, Van Halen, and The Pretty Reckless. And the reason for that is Ad dollars advertisers don't really appreciate metal they, some of them don't understand themselves it's it's own thing.

I miss late 90s and early 00s metal stations. we even had one in Ottawa. Didn't last though

How I approached it was by the intro of the song. Honestly that's all you hear in any used songs by wrestlers. If the intro didn't get me I don't care.

 

[Comrade Khan]

and yes, advertisers suck, they see music as a product and not art

 

[Comrade Khan]

no doubt Wang


you need either an amazing hook right of the bat, or a slow defining buildup to the big ''pop'' - and it can't take 50 seconds to get there. 10-15 max

That how I feel everytime I hear a song that has been bastardized by Icky Minaj, Kid Rock and everyone who thinks it sounds good. In fact American Badass made me super angry thenfirst time ai heard it
