What a Wonderful World

This guy did a pretty good job.

Ten Masked Men are to be checked out if you're craving death metal covers of songs like Brittney Spears or Justin Timberlake. Although I am an extreme metal fan, the vocalist of TMM growling technique is pretty shitty IMO.

Absolute garbage. The butchering of an American classic

Pretty pointless. The only thing that relates them with the original is the lyrics.

I find the postings of the common YouTube more infuriating then some brain-dead death metal tripe.

I lol'd.

I never understood what the great appeal is to growling. It's about as interesting as scat singing and yodeling. After you hear so much, you just wish it would end. I don't mind some growling, but I don't think I'll ever get why anybody would prefer it over normal vocals. I really need to hear some Iron Maiden now and not this... or Louis doing his version or somefin.

Hehe, scat singing.

<DiluteCo> im just sick of all this fucking growling crap
<DiluteCo> fucking cookie monster bands

Ministry also covered this song on their final album as the grand finale. The second half is boring and predictable, but the first part is kinda creepy.

As far as musical redubs go, I think Burt and Ernie Go Brutal or the Church Rave are more amusing.

QFT - that rendition's bordering on incomprehensible. I pity anyone not familiar with the lyrics who has to listen to it twice.

Jesus christ modern death metal sucks.

Old-school DM had groove and a soul behind the carnage. Nowadays, its all about speed and complexity, with most songs trning into incomprehensible noise.

There is a REASON why bands like that won't be mentioned in the same breath as Death or Cannibal Corpse- it's because they fucking suck.

The only thing worse than DM is DM fans. Holy shit, I could go on for hours.

Final album? Did they actually break up? o_O

The lip-syncing and funny facial expressions are the point, no? Not the musical merits of metal.

They didn't "break up," but Al is 51 years old. Time to call it quits. He's still producing and working on other projects (he's going to appear on the next FLA album, for instance).

Yeah, man, back in 2008. Al feels he's too old to be touring and is concentrating on his label.

Yeah, Al put an end to Ministry permanently, partly because he thinks the band sucks when there's a democrat in office. He's still got plenty of other projects going though.

Heh, goes to show how little attention I've been paying to industrial music lately.

Makes sense. He's been doing a lot of producing ever since the late 80s anyway.

Terrible.
(ONE WORD POST LOL Oh wait...)

And nothing of value was lost.

I bet there's a subgenre with that exact name.

Fuck you for making me look this up, Maes.

Fuck. You.

To my ears it sounds like there's only two songs in that video.

Here's yet another little-known subgenre - Progressive Vegetarian Grindcore

So I realize that is a troll band and you can put absolutely anything in front of the word 'core' and make a new genre, but why that isn't considered noisecore is beyond me.

Jonas Brothers Death:

I don't see what is so great about Cannibal Corpse, much like the rest of Death Metal listen to one of their songs and you've heard their entire discography.

Cannibal Corpse LOL:

Or simply quadcore.

Vera Lynn's version was the best anyway.
