What, you thought last Friday’s Top 10 was the only one? Ha, you wish! Just like a proper soap, we’re popping out endless sequels. Well, maybe not endless, because I plan to wrap it up with this one, but who knows when this topic will come back from the dead.
Make the jump and read ten more never-ending and/or soapy and/or embarrassing stories from the world of metal.

Therefore, this week’s Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas.
Make the jump to read the Top 10.
Friday Top 10: Metal breakdowns
Nowadays it’s fairly difficult to view breakdowns in a good light. As Metal has developed in the 21st century, the divergence of Hardcore influences into Metal has grown, and with it, has brought a whole heap of clichés that have disgusted a major section of the Metal community. One of those overused clichés is the breakdown. How many Metal bands these days rely purely on breakdowns in order to create “heavy” music? Way too many. Some bands are so shit, they don’t even bother writing songs. They just write 3 minutes of breakdowns and then call that a song *cough* Emmure *cough*
It wasn’t always like that though. There was once a time when Metal had some awesome breakdowns, and in fact, some bands still write some brilliant breakdowns. Whether they be epic instrumental passages, or those awesome thrashy breakdowns, some of the best Breakdowns can be found in this week’s Top 10 Friday. So forget those shitty Deathcore/Metalcore bands, and instead why not check out my list after the jump. Does the above image mean Megadeth may get a mention? There’s only one way to find out…
Friday Top 10: YouTube cliches that need to go
It’s hard to picture the internet without YouTube nowadays, but it’s pretty shocking to think the site was started in 2005. Do you remember what it was like before? Usually idiotic streaming via Windows Media Player that took forever and looked like shit. Before that you simply had to download the clips.
Now YouTube is the third biggest website in the world (after Google and Facebook) and it seems like the internet is just dominated by embedded YT clips. But what does this really mean? It means A LOT of idiots have access to it thus we have a lot of crappy videos and retarded comments. I remember the day when people with two digit IQs couldn’t even turn on the computer. Now EVERYONE has internet access, and most people are pretty stupid so you get the idea…
Anyway, I’m gonna list the top 10 most annoying YouTube cliches. Granted, not the most ‘metal’ of articles but hey, these apply mostly to music videos and they can be found on metal videos so you elitist metalheads will be able to relate.
