Metallica
I know I'll get sh!t on by everyone but I just thought I'd voice my opinion, in hopes of at least one person agreeing. If you don't, feel free to voice yours, but please don't attack, it's just an opinion.
I wish they'd have picked another band to base the logo, character and much of the music on. In my opinion, Metallica is not metal. Hard rock at best. So apart from his actions, Hesher should have been portrayed more badass, being a fan of actual metal. There were other names kicked around in the film and same goes for the score, but the emphasis was on Metallica.
Just because a band puts the word metal in their name, doesn't make it so. There is a lot of music out there and again, in MY opinion, Metallica is hardly heavy, let alone metal.
So many other bands could have worked better and given Hesher a better edge.
Alright, I'm ready for whatever replies you may have. And I'm not interested in listing the metal I know and love so don't ask. "Oh yeah? What do YOU think is metal?" will derail the topic. I just want to see if people agree.
We've met before, haven't we?
