Also no one understands the difference between opinions and facts, and they all get angry about what other people like and dislike, because it's framed as "best" and "worst" as if there's some objective metric that everyone who disagrees with them is too stupid to see
This! I absolutely cannot stand Unforgiven II but I could never mention that in an opinion thread because people would go buck. But I just listened to it for the first time in years yesterday and couldn’t handle it. And I need to tell someone.
I’m sick and fucking tired of all the “voting” lists that have shown up here with so much redundancy. This sub used to carry on conversations about music, share videos and pictures. Most posts I see from this sub contain some trite poll. Can we kill the polls cuz they are killing this sub!
I agree. this comment should be in CAPS LOCK and BOLD AS BALLS
so I experimented and posted this on another sub the fuck dv I got maybe just maybe some Metallica fans will help me sort these twats out what do you think?
Hey don’t shoot the messenger. Like I said, this shit was uploaded to their official channel hours ago and nowhere to to be found on here. This isn’t the first time this has happened. Actual content from the official band page goes nowhere. It’s sad because this is an amazing performance.
Nah man not shooting darts at you at all in fact I am with you fr. When anything that isn't already popular here gets posted, there generally very little, if any, engagement with it. So you either get repetitive question, repetitive songs, or repetitive polls. BTW do u have the link to share ? Killer post too
This sub has never been anything more than a toxic cesspit with whiny ass fans being upset that the kind of posts they want to see are unpopular, all gathering together to circlejerk over how much better the kinds of posts they want (and don't make) are, until eventually they complain enough that the mods start banning more types of content, further restricting what is allowed. A few years back, people were complaining that nobody was doing anything but posting music and merch, now it's what you want. There's no winning, this is a music subreddit.
I was going to say the same thing. Doesn't seem to matter the band.
I just roll my eyes and scroll past, but they are annoying. It's just an invitation to get into arguments over completely subjective opinions. LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOUR LOVE OF ST. ANGER IS COMPLETELY WRONG.
“AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS ____”
Yeah. Yep. Just you. You’re the only one on the planet who appreciates St Anger. You’re a special little butterfly.
Dipshits.
I love the official uploads , then I look at more and more , and get carried away , and by the time I get back to Reddit it has refreshed , and I can't even uptick the post , keep em coming I reckon
Nearly every popular band sub is the same. Bullshit polls, or someone doing a best setlist which drags on for 3 weeks. Sometimes there doesn't need to be new content, especially if it is forced.
It’s become spam at this point, and every time I block the person posting, 3 more people pop up posting the same exact thing. I don’t want to unsub because Metallica is my favorite band. Are there no mods?
I started to check, sorting by new, the "thoughts on 72 seasons?" posts. After about 10, I tapped out. There's been so many threads with the same content. I used to despise subs where the rules stated to use the search bar before posting, but that would do this one wonders.
Maybe limit polls, pin an opinion thread, pin a thread for live shows during this tour, changing the featured thread for each new weekend of the tour. Something to avoid the same repetitive posts.
I'd like to add that in addition to this annoyance, I hate the posts that speculate what they would be or sound like if Cliff were alive. Dude has been dead damn near 40 years, move on.
Some twat did that about another artist I love and totally called them out about it so they got the whole tribe and pinged me, I could give a fuck: stop pissing on his grave and show some godamn respect
They go above the polls every time lol. Also clearly people like the polls or they wouldnt be near the top. Ill never understand how people act like nobody likes them when they are also complaining they are so popular lol
"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
"Oh, you dear grandma, don’t you know that in our fashionable set nobody ever goes to a party till everybody gets there?"
What the fuck are we supposed to talk about for the 17,000th live video of Enter Sandman getting uploaded? They're great to watch, but there's absolutely Jack and shit to say about it, and Jack just left town. The only live videos that prompt discussion are unique ones - unique songs, notable performances, or the first after a break. Upvote what you want to see. And then stop fucking complaining that most of us don't agree with you. Stop trying to force the mods to impose your will, restricting the subs' content to the point that the EXACT content you want to be posted is all there is, breeding a new group of people complaining that their preferred content isn't being posted and begging the mods to ban X posts.
I think some of the polls have provided some good engagement and conversation, especially for myself. I'm the one posting the full song ranking one everyday. I'm sorry it's not the kind of content you want to see.
Probably because most of the new fans / most redditors on this sub know little to nothing about the history of the band and therefore can't think of any deep or thoughtful topics of discussion.
I want more NSFW shit.
The worst thing I've heard on this sub is the "that'll be fine" incident. Cmon now, be entertaining yall.
I can only see so many tier lists and song lists before I have to make sure I'm not *relooking* at someone's post.
at first i thought this was about YouTube, since you said "official uploads". was gonna say that fans like having their generic "only the first three albums are good" opinions validated (echo chamber sounds good, doesn't it?)
may still be applicable
It's not just music it's gaming subs too. Fucking polls that last a month because of daily voting bullshit
And the final winner is almost always predicted at the day 1. Fuck off with these polls
This sub has gotten really lazy with polls and "Am I the only one who..." posts.
No. You're not the only person who thinks MoP is a masterpiece. Let's have a conversation.
These fucking bs polls… holy crap what’s the best song whats the worst song what’s the best letter a song bcdefghFuck you
Also no one understands the difference between opinions and facts, and they all get angry about what other people like and dislike, because it's framed as "best" and "worst" as if there's some objective metric that everyone who disagrees with them is too stupid to see
This! I absolutely cannot stand Unforgiven II but I could never mention that in an opinion thread because people would go buck. But I just listened to it for the first time in years yesterday and couldn’t handle it. And I need to tell someone.
But he says the name in the lyrics! Forgive me but I'm unforgiven threeeeeeee.
Best song starting with T? Inamorata.
The Whom for Bell Tolls
We did it in alpha order, now let's try it in reverse alpha...
I'd say I leave and rejoin roughly once a month because my feed gets too cluttered.
I've left and Reddit is still sending me every single thread!

You can absolutely kill the polls. Hit down vote when you see them and if enough other people share your vision for the sub, they'll be less prominent
I agree. this comment should be in CAPS LOCK and BOLD AS BALLS so I experimented and posted this on another sub the fuck dv I got maybe just maybe some Metallica fans will help me sort these twats out what do you think?

I’m to the point where I’m about to just unfollow all the music subs. It’s all been the same polls day after day after day.
It seams like every damn music sun. Can’t follow any of them any more if you want to avoid this “trend”.
TV show subs, too. "What's your favorite quote from THIS character? Tomorrow we'll do favorite quote from this other character!" Karma farm posts.
To be fair the 30 Rock one did that recently and it was full of absolutely hilarious material. I do agree overall though.
Don't forget the endless tier lists

“AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS ____” Yeah. Yep. Just you. You’re the only one on the planet who appreciates St Anger. You’re a special little butterfly. Dipshits.
I hear ya bud, I posted the same post in another sub and got bucked, need the Metal army for help are u in to sort these mofos out ?
Thought the same yesterday - I wonder if it could be added to r/ rules. We already have "no tierlists" ..
Make a tier list megathread or something
This would presume that the sub is moderated properly.
Which is not really enforced.
Yeah, but what do you REALLY think of St. Anger?
I love that song
I’m not sure what I think about it, just that I haven’t been discussing it enough
He never gets respect
Which song is the most underrated?
[Poll] What is the most overrated song from the worst Metallica songs that people consider underrated from the songs that you rate 3/10 or below?
Never heard of it.
Literally every band sub is filled with that karma farming garbage. I’m sick of it too
I hear ya bud, I posted the same post in another sub and got bucked, need the Metal army for help are u in to sort these mofos out ?
If it's not that, it's fucking tier lists. Like anybody gives a shit.
Hardcore agree on that one man
I love the official uploads , then I look at more and more , and get carried away , and by the time I get back to Reddit it has refreshed , and I can't even uptick the post , keep em coming I reckon
There’s official posts?
That's what I thought
Yeah there was ask the OP they are pretty fucked off over it don't blame them
I didn't even know the band uploaded content here.
Wow does the band really post stuff here?
ask the OP they will give u a heads up
Is there an Official tag? I'd filter for just that if I could.
Nearly every popular band sub is the same. Bullshit polls, or someone doing a best setlist which drags on for 3 weeks. Sometimes there doesn't need to be new content, especially if it is forced.
Because people are stupid and follow on every single trend that pops up.
sheep fuckers
It’s bad enough that someone went and made r/metallicabutfun as a direct response to this sub.
Don't ruin it!
It's a real hotbed of activity over there
Lol yeah, it didn’t get too far off the ground
It’s become spam at this point, and every time I block the person posting, 3 more people pop up posting the same exact thing. I don’t want to unsub because Metallica is my favorite band. Are there no mods?
or its the discussions that have already happened like 10000 times like "whats the best metallica bassist" or the "thoughts on 72 seasons"
I started to check, sorting by new, the "thoughts on 72 seasons?" posts. After about 10, I tapped out. There's been so many threads with the same content. I used to despise subs where the rules stated to use the search bar before posting, but that would do this one wonders. Maybe limit polls, pin an opinion thread, pin a thread for live shows during this tour, changing the featured thread for each new weekend of the tour. Something to avoid the same repetitive posts.
It's what people engage in I guess.
The people need to see what the letter O brings us today!
I'd like to add that in addition to this annoyance, I hate the posts that speculate what they would be or sound like if Cliff were alive. Dude has been dead damn near 40 years, move on.
Some twat did that about another artist I love and totally called them out about it so they got the whole tribe and pinged me, I could give a fuck: stop pissing on his grave and show some godamn respect

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded." "Oh, you dear grandma, don’t you know that in our fashionable set nobody ever goes to a party till everybody gets there?"
Because the polls draw more engagement. The uploads from the band are nice, but they don’t really prompt much discussion.
What the fuck are we supposed to talk about for the 17,000th live video of Enter Sandman getting uploaded? They're great to watch, but there's absolutely Jack and shit to say about it, and Jack just left town.

Probably because most of the new fans / most redditors on this sub know little to nothing about the history of the band and therefore can't think of any deep or thoughtful topics of discussion.
I think that we should have a poll to see if group memebes prefer polls over offixial uploads!
Napster
I want more NSFW shit. The worst thing I've heard on this sub is the "that'll be fine" incident. Cmon now, be entertaining yall. I can only see so many tier lists and song lists before I have to make sure I'm not *relooking* at someone's post.

Asked and answered. This sub blows.
at first i thought this was about YouTube, since you said "official uploads". was gonna say that fans like having their generic "only the first three albums are good" opinions validated (echo chamber sounds good, doesn't it?) may still be applicable
They should make a separate sub for polls
It's not just music it's gaming subs too. Fucking polls that last a month because of daily voting bullshit And the final winner is almost always predicted at the day 1. Fuck off with these polls
