    Except Metallica play with positivity, they're one of the only of the thrash metal genre that give positive vibes live. Their live shows are like celebrations, they're there to have fun along with the crowd, never mind the lyrics. Next time try talking about something you actually know something about, Metallica is anything but whiny.

    Anyways, Blizzcon was shaping up to be a bit underwhelming until this.

    A minature Stone Henge and lars exploding would be pretty cool.

    Again, opinions are opinions.

    But bands like Megadeth only exist because of Metallica, and they are a huge band.

    I can't hear their lyrics over them randomly hitting the symbols and drums and picking at their guitar strings.

    Do they play the game? Then I would actually be impressed.

    That's... the most weird comment I've read. Can't hear their lyrics over their guitar strings? Sounds like anything past computer-made music isn't for you.

    Pro-tip - it's difficult to be both "heavy metal" and "whiny emo bullshit" at the same time. The fact is, they're neither. They're metal/thrash metal. I strongly advise KoolKid to research into actual heavy metal, and quikbunny to grow up and realise that just because they're a group he doesn't like, doesn't magically make them emo.
    Just google a picture of Metallica and they tick all the boxes, long hair, dark clothes, and that stupid hand gesture. It's a fact that metal is an emo genre, sorry.

    Well, bang goes any "we didn't have the resources to impliment that particular feature we had already promised in a previous statement/interview/blizzcon" that Blizzard may want to use in the future.

    Metallica won't be cheap to hire even today.

    And that is where you are a wrong and thats not even subjective you are objectively wrong by calling Metallica " whiny emo bullshit " Sure you may not like the music but just because you don't like it doesn't make it " whiny emo bullshit " as you so elegantly put it.

    I don't listen to that filth either, rock and roll all day everyday. None of this regurgitated "metal" shit.

    Why is it always these silly unknown mental singers who are at blizzcon, couldn't they invite something more classical?

    You never answered my earlier question. You said Metallica sucks, and I asked what bands you consider good.
    I'm genuinely curious.

    Because if you cannot seriously answer this question, then it's clear you are just here to mess with people.

    What's with the gaming community and the need to constantly listen to "unts unts unts"?

    How can you hear that rock and roll over all those damn guitar strings?

    They barely play any new stuff these days, so you're in luck.
