Classic Reactions Ep.9: Pantera - Domination | one of Metal's best breakdowns!!!
Comments (5)
I get it, I felt the same way when I was young. Once you are past retirement age, things do not aggravate you like they used to, guess experience is the greatest teacher. I have noticed that your feelings about metal have changed some since you discovered babymetal, love to see you smiling!
I was very very impressed from the audio but man on stage they becaome beasts. I think my face was the same as Nonna's the whole time. I got neckpain only from watching. Of course I found a hair in the soup (I don't know if this proverb exists in english but it means to find somthing annoying in a good thing) and it's nearly the same as paul thompson explained. I do not notice the lyriks but the sound is very aggressiv, destructive and leads to nothing good in the souls of the listeners I think. Maybe I'm wrong but this is not that kind of metal I listen very often. Nonna: No question is stupid ! Maybe only the answer, but not in this case ! I realy want to hear that song from Dragonforce (espacally because they had so much influence to BabyMetal and became friends and suporters in the early years of my beloves group) 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
Oh yeah you're right!! I completely forgot about the link between DragonForce and BabyMetal!! We shall check it sooner than later then. Also, while I understand the point you and Paul are making, IMO the lyrics are not really dark nor negative but yes definitely aggressive.. their message is basically that anyone that stands in their will be destroyed because they are here to dominate, which can also be a positive one that empowers you to move towards achieving whatever that you want to achieve and not take no for an answer! :) Now I'm absolutely NOT trying to change your mind by any means, you like what you like.. and I respect you for still having an open mind and listening to stuff that you usually don't listen to and that's a beautiful thing! Much love!
My problem with this music is the lyrics just send a message that you are doomed no matter what you do, a very negative message. Japanese metal tends to be positive, uplifting, inspiring, looking at the bright side of things. I know where I want to be.
I hear you! But honestly for me personally, it's very rare that I listened to Pantera for their lyrics lol Their music is awesome, powerful and yes most definitely aggressive and hostile (literally an album is called 'Vulgar Display of Power' lol Not to repeat myself, but you'd probably understand my point better from the response to Uma's above which explains my point of view when it comes to this band or similar ones, I personally view letting out aggression through music as a healthy thing and has been a sort of... therapeutic for me on a personal level and have kept me from expressing my frustration or anger in unhealthy, harmful ways; but I totally get where you're coming from and have nothing but respect to your view because of what music represents to you, or at least from what you let us know 😊
