Slag off names for metal bands

Kynisk Sokol

Ancient Mariner
While searching through metal forums, reviews and the likes, I've always found some variation of a band's name made to insult it. I'll give a few examples that I've came across. Note that I'm not reflecting my opinion in any way as some of these bands I haven't even listened to. But I'll list them anyway.

Dimmu Borgir - Dummy Burger
Cradle Of Filth - Cradle Of Shit
Children Of Bodom - Children Of Boredom
Slipknot - Shitknot
Sinergy - Sinergay

Any others? I don't know whether this should be on the madness forum or not.

I have no respect for any nickname that simply involves using the word "shit". That requires zero creativity. Any idiot can do that.

I am not calling previous posters idiots - I'm assuming that you're all simply repeating what you've heard elsewhere, as Black Dragon orginally suggested.

I also have no respect for any nickname involve the word "gay" or other homophobic references. I have zero tolerance for any attitude which states 'homosexual = bad'. When you make such a statement, you're insulting many fine human beings - including a man who once literally saved my life. I will not stand by silently as my friends are insulted.

Again, none of my ire is directed at posters in this thread. You're just repeating names you've heard elsewhere, right?

The reason why I brought to people's attention is because certain people would come up with a insulting name for a band they don't like so that person would attract attention and form a squad dedicated to hating a certain band. And making an insult like the ones we've all discovered are the first step to attracting people's attention. Well, probably teenagers.

An example was on the IMBB, when somebody had asked people on the board to enrol in the Guns n' Roses hater army. That's what annoyed me, as they are a band that got me into metal and I just generally find them great to listen to. Or take Dream Theater, many people call them "musical masturbators" as a form of insult. That kind of "joke" is obvsiouly aimed to attract the attention of kids, and so they pass that joke on to others while they probably haven't even listened to Dream Theater.
 
Guns n'Roses hater army? Nice.

Why not ask to join the KKK and hang a few Blacks, or maybe the Neo-Nazis and bash a few Jews?

While GnR isn't my favourite band, I can't understand why hatred should be spread in such a fashion. Some people like them, fine. Why would we need a pogrom or a witch hunt against bands we don't like? (or anybody else for that matter?)

That says a lot about people who post on the IMBB and the moderation team...


Hatred of any kind or against anyone for such preposterous reasons should be quenched as soon as it appears and the the perpetrators send to virtual oblivion.

Sorry if I got a bit emotional here...

Hey Mav, it's understandable if you got a bit emotional there because this thing really pisses me off to.

Hate and stupidity. The worst combination, the poison of history.

Just to (kind of) answer the thread as well, I like "Iron Majdnem", the name of a Hungarian tribute band. Of course it's NOT an insult. It means "Almost Iron". Clever and full of respect [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Yep, that's very true. When one believes their vision or point of view as truth, the seed of tyranny is sprouted.
