An ex-girlfriend of mine said about grunting: "It's as if you burp and then say: Huhuhuhuh, I just sang a song!" She's an EX-girlfriend for multiple reasons, and this narrowmindedness most certainly is one of them. It's fun to see that opera singers and vocal coaches (Maggie Renée, The Charismatic Voice etc.) analyze metal songs and really get emotional when listening to this genre of music! The lyrics often are incredibly deep and touching, and the musical composition often is just absolutely perfect to move the correct emotions in the strongest way possible at exactly the right moments. And of course it's just lovely mindless loud agression, which also can be awesome from time to time! But the most mindless metal usually still is much deeper than the vast majority of pop songs these days.

What amazes me is that Kate was a big part of LOTR and that world has a big influence in the metal scene, I would dare to say it’s influence in metal is way bigger than in any other genere and she thinks nobody listens and likes metal… I mean there are lyrics for almost every taste and music well… enough said

[@annadarko6056]

The only reason I can think of why Kate Blanchet made a connection between metal and monstertrucks is because they're both aggressive. Still I find it baffling that the first thing that comes to her mind when she hears metal is big cars driving on smaller cars. That's aggressive - sure. It's also destructive and that's not necessarily what metal is about. It's not like everyone who likes metal would want a slayer patch stitched onto their leg.

[@tomaszkwiatkowski9986]

First thing that came to my mind about this connection was about rednecks from US. They sure love their monster trucks and stereotypical redneck image is someone listening to hard rock/heavy metal with bottle of Jack Daniels in hand, driving monster truck on some dirt road 😆

Was thinking the same. But then I also thought that her image was metal = rednecks= monster trucks. Both logical connections, if you have zero idea about anything. What a sad fucking existence.

She's a professional violinist and she actually loved how complex and melodic that was. She turned up the volume and _immediately_ gave my headphones to her son so he could listen to it too : 'here, just LISTEN to this! Apparently this is metal! Can you believe it? What did you say their name was, dear? I have to look more into this.' 😂 Proof that more people could love this genre if they actually gave it a try instead of deciding they don't like it based on stereotypes!

[@ancientcloverdevelopment7316]

“Its just nois-“ A shotgun is a smoothbore firearm (without rifling cut into the barrel to spin a projectile), designed to fire “shot,” or small, individual pellets (typically made of lead or steel), rather than a single bullet, as is the case with rifles and handguns. The first firearms used in the way we think of shotguns today were smoothbore muzzle-loading muskets in the late 17th century, which people sometimes loaded with shot and used for hunting birds. These “fowling pieces” gradually morphed into dedicated shotguns by the late 18th century, and the shotgun “shell” or self-contained cartridge was available by the latter half of the 19th century. It had: Outer hull, usually made of plastic, with a rimmed, brass or steel base Primer contained within the metallic base, to ignite the powder charge when the primer is struck by the firing pin A charge of gunpowder contained in the metallic base A felt, paper, or synthetic “wad” and/or shot cup over the powder A payload of shotgun pellets (commonly called “shot”), buckshot (larger lead balls), or a slug (a single large, metallic projectile, sometimes enclosed in a fiber or plastic sheath or “sabot”).

Recently Kate Winslett had a whoe skit about her nearly shitting herself. The crowd loved it. But it was just weird and awkard af. Margot being an Aussie did well to bat off the stupid GN mentality of being the most interesting person on the couch. Most of his interviews go like this where one quiet reserved celeb will kinda' take the back seat while the older A listers talk and talk and talk and will even talk over the likes of someone like Margot during her segment to get their 'humour' across.

Ms. Robbie has been my dream woman for a good end of 6 years… Margot is truly one of a kind.

I have to say I appreciate so much that Metal is underrated and unknown by people like Cate Blanchett or whoever speaks like that about the richest genre ever created by humans. Do you imagine being as famous as Hip f*** Hop or K-Pop stars and still make metal ? Not that Hip Hop is a bad genre, on the contrary. But the main difference is that the intensity we know as metalheads is unreachable if you're just another rock / hip hop star with only fame to look up at. Metal is Music at its best because it is just music. Most of the time. And the fact that it's the opposite of a kind of a so called elite is the best thing that could happen. Fame is not music. Money is not music. Metal is Music.

[@Iconic_Zoot]
