Me too.
I quite like Jugulator, however I've not been able to really get into Demolition. Granted I own the former but not the latter thus have spent more time with it.
Probably not un unpopular opinion here since we're an open-minded bunch, but for the wider metal world I'll second that one. That said, never have been grabbed by glam metal myself.
Same. Tried a couple of times, with each vocalist. Never really dug them.
Wasn't Manowar always a bit of a joke?
Quite right.
It was my gateway to metal album, so I'll always have a fondness for it. And no it really isn't that bad, but it does have some glaring problems.
I think I'd agree, though I have a special liking for Leprosy. It was also the first straight death metal album I bought.
Agreed, but I think overall metal is very accepting. Don't forget that the singer of one of metal's most famous bands just happens to be gay. I also know of quite a few bands with black members, or trans people and there are more women playing (and into) metal than ever.
Preaching to the choir on this site, Kim. I'm not sure gothic metal has ever been up for debate the way those others have though.
I'm quite neglectful where Sabbath is concerned. I haven't even heard all the Ozzy or Dio fronted ones. Never a Martin one. However he has worked with Arjen Lucassen a couple of times and he's good.

I'm adding a couple of mine from when this thread was first active:
Building off one of Kim's: Tim Owens was a fine singer for Iced Earth, just very different to Matt Barlow. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Also one of the worst things Iced Earth ever did was swapping singer back to Barlow in the middle of the Something Wicked duo, especially since they never made good on re-doing part 1 with Matt for continuity. But the first one was better anyway, so maybe that's just as well. There are more fantastic female singers in modern metal bands than there are male.

We don't care about necroposting here. Always good to see an old topic get a new lease of life.
I agree with some of yours, especially about Max Cavalera. I consider him one of metal's overrated figures, full stop.

Venom are a rubbish Motörhead parody act? Does anyone disagree with that? I remember the hype when they hit the scene and thought they were wank at the time 😉

No, but that's what I love about them.

Yes and no. They were highly rated in their day for good reason. However, they were indecline before they split. The poor performances by Anselmo, the band's break-up, and the less than impressive post-Pantera music tarnished the reputation somewhat. They do get too much dickriding though.
Yep. And anyone saying "no Max/Cavaleras, no Sepultura" is a fucking idiot and has missed a shit-load of great music.
Gonna disagree, but I'm not a big black metal fan.
Yep.
Shitty people, but the occasional dose of pompous OTT power metal is fun.
Agree, but I don't reckon that's gatekeeping. It's more about being decent human beings.
