Underoath say Metallica isn’t influential
It seems like Underoath can’t talk enough shit these days. A few weeks ago they took on Avenged Sevenfold, now they are slinging mud at metallica.
Recently the band spoke to Metal Hammer saying:
When we were on tour in 2006/7, the tour manager for Anti-Flag was talking to me, and he asked what my favorite Metallica record was. I said I didn’t have one. Not that I liked them all, but I didn’t like any. He was like ‘what?!’ I said I didn’t like them, I didn’t think they were any good. He got really startled then almost offended. He was literally slamming the bar saying, ‘there is no Fucking way you play the music you do, the way you do, and not like Metallica’.
I can listen to that stuff, and maybe if I was alive 30 years ago it would mean more to me; I respect them, but I just don’t like them. I get that they’re important, but not to me. For me Kurt Cobain means more: he played like trash but he had an intensity. It’s not about your chops, it’s about creating a feeling.
People can say, ‘if it wasn’t for Metallica, you wouldn’t have a scene to play to’, I’ll give them that, but I still don’t like them. Maybe one day I’ll look back, having changed my mind about Metallica, and think what a stupid 25 year old I was.

gonna go out on a limb here and say i dont care either way, they make a point and i dont see where this is shit talk at all. Dude asked them a question, they gave the answer. thats about it, they didnt bash them simple said they werent into the music good lord quit blowin it up over something dumb
Not surprising considering the generation gap and the absence of “heaviness” in Underoath’s music.
does anyone care about this band? making a big deal about this just makes more stupid kids want to listen to this mess.
Fuck Metallica. Megadeth and SLayer and Pantera were the real metal, not wannbe gimmicks
Probably they’ve grown up listening to Fleetwood Mac… Metallica is the Devil’s Music!!
Thats cool they managed to have all the people in the band look like tards
Metallica is pussy music. Only fags that love sucking cock cream over Metallica. Oh Lars, Lars!!! What a bunch of dicksucking faggots. Metallica fans secretly wish to be raped in prison. They jack off so they can eat their own cum. A Metallica’s fan ultimate dream is to get fucked in the ass and the mouth in time to Lars’ double kick drum.
