on of the best metal bands ever fucking created,[/b]
ummmm...nope.
-
first of all, atreyu is not fucking metal. if you want a real metal band, listen to dragonforce or darkest hour.
atreyu is one of the shittiest bands i've ever heard - get some new taste in music, dude.
-
Someone who listens to Darkest hour telling someone else to get new taste in music.
No that's funny!

Well based on these examples of metal I won't even go into what I would suggest you listen to.
All I know is that somewhere Bruce Dickinson is cringing when he hears these bands mentioned as "metal".

Isn't Dragonforce a cartoon with an associated line of action figures?

This whole thread wreaks of suck.

I never thought I'd get a rock lyric tattoo but, Atreyu had a good one.

Most people who dislike Atreyu have listened to very little of their stuff. Try "Creature" or "Corsetting (probably their best one)" They can come off as a little emo-y but overall they rock. The best? Maybe not but I'll bet they put on a good show. Will be there.
-
atreyu is an overhyped, overmarketed band aimed at high schoolers who are too ignorant and/or can't handle real metal, so they are told that bands like atreyu are metal and therefore, are good.
completely untrue.
try the tony danza tapdancing extravaganza for some real rock.
-
right. thanks for the tip
-
Until this thread I'd never even heard of Atreyu or any of these other bands.
Glad we got some real hardcore experts here to steer me away from the pussy poseur shit.

Here I was thinking Atreyu was an outfielder for the Yankees.

Nope, he's a character in The Neverending Story I think.

Naming a band after a character in a children's movie from the 80's: A sure sign your band sucks.

I was unfortunate enough to walk past their set at Warped Tour last year in Va Beach and at Nissan. I wanted to stab my ears with Q-tips during their Bon Jovi cover "You Give Love a Bad Name."
I really don't see how they're considered a "metal" band...The only metal band that I saw at Warped Tour was Opiate for the Masses. Now THAT is a metal band!

I think Every Time I die will steal the show.
I've lost almost all interest in Atreyu after their last 2 albums. I loved Suicide notes, but did not enjoy the last 2 at all

a womb miscarrying has more musical talent than atreyu

Deceased! Played a few basement shows with them, oh, about 20 years ago! Can't believe they're still around. Glad they've done well in their scene.
I used to hang with Leslie (is he still their bass player?) He replaced the original bass player after he got run down on the side of the road in that terrible accident.
-
ha, that's awesome you knew deceased 20 years ago.
the only original member left is king fowley, who was the huge drummer/singer. king had a stroke a few years back and now only sings, but he's the best. deceased are the kings of thrash/death metal; all of their songs are full of pure metal riffage. king has another band called october 31 that is more power metal (like manowar and helloween). they're fantastic, too.
last time i booked deceased at the warehouse, king showed up in a michael schenker group t-shirt. now, that's metal!
-
Well maybe not quite 20 years...'88 or '89 though. Close enough. I looked at their site and sure enough my old bud Leslie (the asian guy)still plays bass for them. He's not an original member though. I'd heard King had some medical problems. Glad to hear he's still at it.
-
hmmm...the site might be old...i don't think i recall seeing an asian guy in the band the last couple of years. or maybe he rejoined.
-
no bad mouthing of D FORCE will be tolerated on this board.

He goes by Les now, at least according to all the sites....their myspace page says he's in the band still....prolly couldn't tell he's asian through all the hair!
Anyway, thanks for pushing me down memory lane this AM.
-
prolly couldn't tell he's asian through all the hair!
[/b]
true dat! there's certainly a lot of hair flying around and in faces during deceased sets.
-

Honestly I was never that into this music much but I was always impressed by the massive tape trading underground scene that went along with death metal or whatever you want to call it. I had some high school friends in a band (really of no consequence locally...i don't even remember their name) but they would get mail from all over the world.....just through their tapes being copied and mailed again and again.
