Top 10 Reasons Heavy Metal Is Fucking Dead

• Agreed.  Once any type of music gains commercial appeal the corporations take it over and fuck it up.  Remember "Hair Metal", *shudders*.

• I guess this dip shit writer has no clue as to what is going on in Europe for the last 10 years. Metal is still king! Just look at the attendance numbers and festivals that take place there every summer. The problem in the U.S. is too many stupid, ignorant kids coming up and not thinking beyond what is displayed before them on a silver platter or T.V. They also tend to have the attention span of a gnat! Metal is not for everyone and I prefer it to stay underground and away from the posers who have come and gone like the fair-weathered friends they are. Death to the weak, Metal up your ASS!! Up the Irons!!!!

• I'm thinking that the Melvins and Boris still kick serious ass. There are a lot of metal bands that thankfully, aren't in the mainstream, that are quite amazing. Rock is dead too. So is country. But if you're looking for quality then you have to dig.

• Anyone who classifies Godsmack and Disturbed as "heavy metal" has no business writing about the genre.

• INDIE ROCK?  WHO HIRES THESE WRITER!

• dear SF weekly WOW U GUYS DNT KNOW MUCH OF ANYTHING DO U this artical is so damn stupid and a waste of internet space the ppl who wrote this dnt know anything bout heavy metal maybe next time u should have ppl who acutaly know wat the hell there talkin bout!!!! this makes SF weekly look so damn stupid not sure ill ever care to read this crap agin gud day

• Nice troll job, but you probably lost any real metal fans with the words "Rockstar Mayhem Festival." I can't wait for you to go to Vans Warped Tour, snap a few photos of the lemmings there, and promptly declare punk rock dead too. Sincerely, A former fellow VVM pageview whore

• "Dave Mustaine not yet outed as an ...BRAACKK!" . Ah.  The cry of the warble-throated Metallica fanboy, as it ponders the reason his group can't come up with anything original anymore.  

• the no no fat chicks t shirt is  as metal as it gets these days

• Your comment is succinct and very pointed. Says it all.

• Reasons why prototype metal band  Cream's  drummer , Ginger Baker , considered most all 'rock' to be crap.
