Music theory out the window. Thanks.
Who the fuck are you even arguing with? You just go through all my stuff talking shit all over everything that I say. Fuck off. It’s annoying and you sound like a dick. I mean, I know I’m not exactly a saint, but...

>Early Megadeth has Jazz influence >Must be a Jazz Band. >Black Label Society has Acoustic Songs >Must be Bon Iver…
Dude, you are literally arguing for the sake of having someone to argue with. You do this with basically everything.

Anonymous asked: I am pretty sure trivium started out being thrash and threw some metalcore elements into it. Shogun's an amazing album and displays what they have blended into with old and new influences thrown in with their own creativity. I actually really like In Waves but Shogun is straight up amazing. I put them into the new wave of american heavy metal with bands like Lamb of God, Devildriver, Shadows...

Killswitch is awesome.
Killswitch are pretty cool, but I can never get into them because they don’t do actual solos, and the songs seem a little predictable. There was one song which did have a solo though, and I hope with the return of Leech, they start expanding a little.

brandonwartooth asked: I feel as if Trivium has both metalcore and thrash influences. All bands have more than just one influence. It's not like somebody goes their entire life and only listens to one genre of music. Besides, why do they care what sub-genre you could place them in? You could place almost any band in more than one sub-genre. These people need to get off their high horse just because your own...

seasonalhatred asked: Not gonna get involved in the whole Trivium argument, as I give zero fucks about them, but i'm gonna have to support reybrutal on the hardcore argument as I do listen to quite a bit of hardcore. The only thing that can be traced back to hardcore from metalcore, are gang vocals and breakdowns, which were COMPLETELY different things when used in actual hardcore. Despite popular belief there are...

The kind of metalcore that Trivium played basically formed from the more hardcore metalcore bands like Deadguy and Unbroken, mixed with lots of Swedish melodeath influence. Which results in that early 2000s style of metalcore like Killswitch, etc
I see what you mean, though I’m not familiar with those...

Anonymous asked: You're such an idiot! Can you not fucking read?! The hypocrisy "thing" is coming from the fact that in the first sentence of the same response in which you criticized my grammar, you had an even worse grammatical error, which of course you didn't address, bringing us to the argument, or rather fact that you are a pretentious douchebag. Pretentious: attempting to impress by...

earthcontrol asked: oh man, these people are getting so butthurt over nothing. So what if Trivium's not thrash? They're a great band, and genre shouldn't affect your judgement of a group. I agree with you though, Trivium is most definitely thrash. Music should be about, you know, the music, not some shoehorned label.

Anonymous asked: Ok dude, if you like Trivium that's your problem, you're just one of the thousands who doesn't understand what real metal is, and there's no problem with that really, but you just sound stupid calling them thrash. Early Thrash Metal as a whole has influenced EVERY modern metal band immensely regardless of sub genre, and Trivium is no exception. Trivium are just another shitty...

Anonymous asked: I'm not going to comment on this 'are Trivium thrash' argument. Instead, I'm going to tell you my opinion on something else. I think Matt looks stupid nowadays. He looks like a stupid hipster scene boy. I know it's not important, music is more important than your looks but I didn't like the change.

reybrutal replied to your post: Henry, man, I love you to bits and I enjoy your blog but i have to disagree with you…
Just saying… Metalcore has NOTHING to do with Hardcore. I’m sure you don’t even know a handful of real hardcore bands.
No, I don’t, as I don’t listen to hardcore, but I’m pretty sure that’s where that little ‘core’ bit comes from.

tyler-durdens asked: Haha well them 4 people must know what they are talking about when discussing music, because half of the people who just CONSTANTLY fucking compare Trivium to Metallica do not know what they are talking about, I mean, are bands not allowed to have influences? Oh btw, these haters your getting really are fucking idiots.

Anonymous asked: "Don’t call me a pretentious douchebag because I can actually define what thrash metal is." Really dude? Also "It applies to thrash because that was defines thrash." Are you fucking really going to correct my grammar man? It's funny how much hypocrisy is in all your responses. You just look really stupid right now.

Complex song structure? We’re not dealing with Meshuggah here… Their songs are not complex in any way shape or form. It lacks the mosh beats that Thrash has, it misses on the thrash grooves and...

And also "over the years, the definition of thrash has become a lot less rigid, and no longer just includes bands that sound exactly like Slayer and Exodus." Your stupidity fucking amazes me. Yes, over the years Thrash has changed alot, breeding bands like Warbringer, Municipal Waste, and Toxic...

Yes, I heard you say that the modern thrash isn't the same as the old, the definition is not as rigid as it was but come on, Trivium is so fucking metalcore. Not that there's nothing wrong with that. There are modern thrash bands like Evile and...

Anonymous asked: HA! Now there's other anons further exemplifying that Trivium aren't a thrash band! You're the only person I've ever met in my life who would describe trivium as thrash. Whether you think they're a good band or not is up to your perception of them, but just fucking face that you're wrong and they're not a thrash band!

They don't sound like any other modern Thrash band either.

They are disliked because they are essentially Metallica worship. They lack the moshbeats to be a thrash band and most people who like them are not “stuck in the 80’s” as for skill, I could beat the same scale and patterns to death as well.
You just seem to hate every popular band nowadays for the sake of hating...
