Metal triumphs over indie

But you're talking about an album released 11 years ago, by a mainstream band before a time when album leaks are common place.

If you ever compare Oasis and Metallica again, I'm going to reach out of your monitor and slap you in the eye.

This is nonsense,
Why does kerrang feel that Metal has
'won' a contest over indie? =\
That just sounds stupid,
just like the:

"Everybody has to vote for metallica because metal must win!" quote from Kerrang Last week, it is, in my opinion, nothing more then childish. :S

It's all about the music, not the charts,
the charts are not representative for the feelings created by Music,
That music can be either Metallica/Glasvegas/Iron Maiden/The Beatles/My Chemical Romance/Green Day/The Eagles/Chuck Berry or any other band/artist in the world!

Sure, Metallica is one of the best bands
to date, I never said that. I felt like sharing my opinion.

Cheers, Rock On!

but honestly, glasvegas sucks and yea metallica > glasvegas

Ha ha!

Oasis have sold more than 50 million records worldwide

Metallica have sold more than 90 million records sold worldwide including 57 million in the USA alone

so i think Metallica are better then Oasis

oasis are just a beatles tribute band, sure they made 1, possible 2 decent albums but thern they run out of ideas

metallica arent really my thing either but i can see that they are way better than oasis

oasis werent evan the best at the brit pop thing either, blur were far better

so yer in conclusion..
mettalica >>> oasis

but,
the horrors >>>> everyone
:)

And its a great week in the music charts 2 weeks running. Why? Last week Slipknot outsold that crap artist the game, and this week the kings are back on there thrones as Metallica's new album debuted at number one.
Not that I care what some music chart says, but its great to hear bands like metallica and slipknot getting the praise they deserve.
I haven't personally heard St. Anger and quite frankly I don't really want to, but there new one is absolutely brilliant. They went back to the way they were.
And why is someone talking about the pile of bollocks that is oasis? this isn't an indie site people, this is kerrang! not nme so if you want to talk about music that all sounds the same, then go to that site.

goood no 1 can beat metallica they are one of the best metal bands in metal history bad thing about them is tht it hurts tht they never wrote the riffs 2 their 80s albums it was dave mustain (megadeth)

Personally, I prefer Indie to Metal.

and I prefer Oasis to Metallica.
but hey that's just my opinion.

Metallica is better then Glasvagas though =/
So yeh, they deserve beating them to the top spot.

This is why i've stopped buying Kerrang! becauase of the crap language used to describe bands. what the hell are 'nerks'??? The Sun uses better vocabulary.

The fact that Glasvegas, a completely new band has sold around 20,000 copies short of one of the most legendary bands around on their 'whatever number' album is a feat in itself. Oh and Kerrang keeps forgetting to mention the fact that Death Magnetic didn't actually go on sale Friday 12th, it had been on sale in many HMV/Zavvi stores since the Wednesday 10th.

Absolute Rubbish!

YEAH! Metal rules and destroys ALL!!!!!

Having bought the album i was suprised how good it was compared to shite like St Anger, i'm an old school Metallica fan, for me there last great album was "and justice for all."
Slipknots new album was miles better
though. but both bow before mighty maiden. i'm bored with you fucking kids being argumentative to each other.
just be glad real music is impacting the charts. by the way BE HERE NOW was a shit sandwich of an album.

Tbh, Kerrang is trying to hard to make up for lost ground lately. After all the pop rock emo indie there's been lately, They're attempting to get back to thier metal roots. And it really isn't happening for them.
Glasvegas > Metallica, anyway

death magnetic deserves to be there, fucking 100% and as for be here now being a lump of shit, thats crap because oasis are a fucking class band, they're the reason i play atm. So stick to ripping the shit out of the emo shite that kerrang is pedaling nowadays
and tbh dannii i agree, they're trying to get back to the metal roots that they have

to that smart ass andy mark answer this question then why haven't oasis cracked the us market yet? the biggest music market, and oh by the way i wonder if that twat noel gallagher enjoyed his recent push, shame it didn't kill him eh, now run along back into your indie craphole,

I see you also like Slipcock as well Andy, HAHA that explains why you sound like a fag , dreaming slipcock are metal LMFAO

Glasvegas is not Indie. They are a pop band. Record sales do not determine the quality of a band. Noel Gallagher is an incredible talent. Oasis don't need to have conquered America to be known as a great band. I question the American public's appreciation of good music when a band like Razorlight can make it. Let's not forgot the origin of Green Day, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance...

Metallica should be number 1 in Ireland but crap bands like Glassvegas & The Script kept them from being number 1. If any1 in Ireland is reading this please make Metallica number 1 in the irish album charts.

The thing is with me, I'd rather listen to Metallica, Slipknot AND Oasis over My Chemical Toilet and F.O.B. it's all about personal taste!

Can we all stop going on about fucking Oasis, they're shit, get over it-that's a fact, you're wrong ok, ok. As for the metal over indie argument, yes it's childish but metal technivcally speaking most of the time provides more talented musicianship than indie unless it's Primal Scream for instance.
Refused over Converge over Metallica over Slipknot over MCR over Oasis.

oasis can suck it

Oasis are average musicians, but they're great businessmen, let's generate intrest in our 'on the slide' band by stirring something up. Whilst all eyes were on Metallica over recent events (St Anger, SKOM and a new bassist) they've constructed and maintained a devoted fanbase on the predominently on the basis of their music.

This is fucking shit......

Just saw them last night at the O2... There isn't a single live band that can touch them... My neck still hurts from headbanging so fucking hard... My voice is gone from screaming so loud... You won't find me doing that to ANY other band... and I love so many different types of music from metal to old school jazz...

THATS WHY THEY ARE SO GREAT!

by the way.. what perve mentioned oasis? they're great for chavs, but cmon.. blur anyone? :)

Anyway, I'm glad Metallica kicked arse, they deserve it!!

As far as Metal triumphs over indie? As Wez says most of the time metal provides more talented musicianship than indie. You CAN'T argue with that!!

Saw metallica at the o2 last night and took a friend who knew very little of their music and we both thought they were awesome, even stuck up at the back. They are very nimble considering how old they must be by now. From the old stuff to the new songs it was all great and James Hetfield is sexy as with his short hair and mighty muscles. never thought I would say that. seek and destroy.

Thank Fuck
Glasvegas are nothing but indie shite
metallia deserve number one

Well it's no surprises at all really.

Death Magnetic is truly amazing.

This arguement will all be put to an end come 22nd september, because everyone knows the new Kings Of Leon album is going to shit over both of these!!

I prefer Indie to metal. Dancing is more fun then headbanging. It's better music, fun, and feel good.
Thats just my opinion. I'm not going to force it on metal fans and brand what they listen to as 'shit'.

im one of them.

Right. Andyshandy whatever. Why Are You Even On this Site If Your Listening To Indie. read... I Dunno. I Don't Read Them magazines.
Right.
Mettallica Are Ace, And, Although I Havn't Heard The New Album Yet, They've Been Around Since Goddess Knows When, And Have Kicked Ass. That Glasvages Shite Has Been Around For All Of A week, And Sucks Ass Already.

Metal Reigns Supreme. Again

This new album fuckin rocks!

Anyone who hates Metallica's new stuff better shut up because this album is taking the cake for me. Right now I believe it's their number 3 album

5. Metallica
4. Ride the Lightning
3. Death Magnetic
(close tie for first place)
...And Justice for All
