(3,478 posts)You ever see Anthrax or Metallica live. I've seen both multiple times. Indians isn't depressing, it's angry about a system fucking over indigenous people. Yes, shedding much needed light on an injustice. Very intense and brutal live.
Great musicianship and presentation. Anthrax always brings their A-game.
Metallica; always an unforgettable show. Unforgiven is intense in its presentation especially during Kirk's lead break. You can't just stand there and play a song, you have to also express the song.
Grunge just had no presentation. No intensity or long lasting entertainment value. All the bands wore the same slovenly flannel shirts and dirty pants. Boring.
We're just different. I'm a lifelong Metalhead and obviously biased toward that genre. I like the intensity, the flames, the bombs, the lights. It's all part of the production and presentation and it's exciting! If you really want to see the difference, watch the entire Motley Crue Carnival of Sins show on Blu-Ray or whatever. Have a few beers and enjoy! It's an extravaganza! I saw that show live twice (New Orleans and in Baton Rouge after they extended the tour). Quite possibly two of the best shows I've ever seen live. Definitely the most fun! Give it a try. You'll see what I mean.
