Roadrunner Records TOP 10 of 2008

I love the Dark Horse. I play it every morning before I get up and I play it in the car when ny husband and I go out somwhere. The two cds I love the most is All the Right Reasons And Dark Horse. My favorite song is Something In Your Mouth off the Dark Horse.
Your NickelBack fan for ever

I think that what you said about metallica is fucking bullshit. It's true they are getting old, but look at the Rolling Stones, they are probably gonna be in wheelchairs before they retire, so don't ramble on about age. Metallica is still the best, and death magnetic kicks ass,it's better than all the shitty albums you said, so do me and probably a lot more people a favour and never make one of these lists again

I fucking love you!!! I couldnt believe everyone was putting Metallica on their great lists...they fucking suck. I loved them...every bit of them, before St Anger crap. Now they need to go away...or get drunk and high and make some real music again. I also happen to agree with you about G'NR how can they even call it that. I mistankly bought the cd thinking it was going to be worth the plastic it was burned to. I was fuckin wrong....these should be on the greatest disapointments of the year! I do love Nickelback and Slipknot though...Rock On!!

Rich, There must be something better for you to do with your free time than reviewing music. You ceratinly don't have an objective brain cell in your head or a clue about music evolution. (Tanya) Anyone who says that they love Nickelback should not be allowed to comment on muisc such as gnr or metallica cause they are going to screw that up 100 percent of the time.

Hey, I happened to like the new Guns N' Roses a lot. First, If you had so many bad things to say about it, then why put the album of your list. Second, ever since "Appetite for Desturction" gained popularitly just about everything Axl Rose does seems to be for vanity, Did it take you this long to figure that out. Who cares, it's not like you've got to live with the guy.

What a fuckwit for slagging off Metallica whilst having The Black Crowes as his number one. Nice job, cockface

That's Mr. Cockface to you. Can't you see the dude's wearing a suit?

Your comment about Axl was spot-on, but slagging Metallica is just wrong. I hate everything they ever did besides the first 4 and maybe Garage Inc., Death Magnetic is a masterpiece. What do you guys expect from a fan of Portishead and the Black Crowes? Jason is right, you are a Cockface. Have fun getting finger-banged by Chad Kroeger and the rest of his gay-ass band while your lips are firmly planted on his anus.

Hey rich, go to hell! You obviously know fuck-all about Metallica, Metal and Music as a whole...How can u say that about one of the best Metal bands of all time? Metallica are legends, Kings of Metal and Death Magentic is an AWESOME album that all Metallica Fans just like me have been waiting for since St. Anger...Metallica has blown us all away with the new album and I love it! So, in the future, do not attempt one of these lists again and do not speak about Metallica again because you haven't the slightest clue about what you're talking about, bitch...

omg this guy is my hero lol... metallica WAS good but ppl are making Death Magnetic overrated, its a good album at best and lets face it, they only put out this album because St. Anger wasnt good.

I respect everyone's opinion as long as they are honest with themselves, however I think if GNR or Metallica was on Roadrunner you would be speaking very differently. As for Nickelback, I would be grateful too that you probably have a job because this shitty band sells a ton of albums.

Perkins speaks the truth. Sure, Death Magnetic is Houses of the Holy next to St. Whimper. That doesn't necessarily make it great. As far as Chinese Democracy, I was happier waiting.

Seriously dude. MetallicA owns all. And you just cant take it. Because you just shit all over st anger because you didnt understand it - then when Death Magnetic came out you were fucked because it kicked your ass. so you have no room but to ridicule it. What you said about it is bull shit - metallica owns the fucking world whether you like it or not. BTW the new slipknot album blows.

Ok, dumb shit:

-If you don't like an album, don't fucking put it on your top albums list.

-If you think shit mainstream "rock" bands like Nickelback are at all talented or original, you don't get to talk about a legendary band like Metallica because St. Anger was better than anything Nickelback has ever put out.

-Tanya: If you like Nickelback you don't get to tell someone to make "real music".

-Redven: Metallica STILL IS good. DM is not overrated, it's the best album they've put out in about 20 years. And they actually put this album out because they love making music, they're just fucking slow when it comes to making new albums haha.

Rich, you are a fucking dumbass. You sound like the kind of person that hears REAL metal and gets fucking scared of it. The fact that you think Slipknot is extreme, hardcore metal is just a testament to your ignorance. To quote the hidden words I have to type in to post this, you, Rich, are a LAME ASS.

This is supposed to be a list of your top albums of '08. Merely putting albums on here just so you can spout off your pseudo-clever douchebag camments just makes you look like a complete ass. If I were Roadrunner, I wouldn't allow you to contribute to this list.

this tool is in IT for a reason. Hates Metallica, but loves Nickelback? N-back would happily eat Metallica's shit for dinner...everyday. Only moron to talk about his job too. a-hole, get a life, I hope you get fired for your stupid-ass, pompus post.

I think its lame for you to post Death Magnetic on your top ten list just to spit all that hate you have for them, they may not be what they used to be, but they are in no way worse than many bands out there, Death Magnetic is full of great songs. Its very unmature hating for the sake of hating and you my friend, has gone very low by posting that bullshit, I dont know how on earth roadrunner allowed you to post that list

You are a fucking tool. How you ended up with a job at a music label is beyond me and you should promptly curl into a fetal ball and die alone and cold. Please never speak your opinion again.

Wow, you are an ignorant fool! What you said about Metallica is bullshit! They are stronger and better then ever now! But what do you expect from a guy in a suit..

Damn!! You got big brass ones dude. I don't even need to read the comments to smell the gunpowder. That was freakin' great!

I have just spent the last five minutes laughing my ass off at Rich's and everyone else's comments. I think it's hilarious when someone has an extreme critic. Now I saw Metallica just recently with Lamb of God and Sword and I have to admit it was an amazing show. I let DM play in my stereo for a few days when I first got it and it just couldn't keep my attention. I still love Metallica don't get me wrong. I think what they need to do is get rid of Lar's. Now theres a pompous ass who's washed up. He doesn't even play half of his fills live. He is truly pathetic. Metallica's got some serious talent with Tujillo. They just need a kick ass drummer to complete the circle. Peace! Loved your comments everyone.

Fuck you dickhead!

You are exactly the type of corporate piece of close minded shit I was talking about in my comment left on Frederic Leclercq's top 10 list. Dude you even look like an arrogant prick. Have you ever picked up an instrument let alone know what one is? Have you ever written or published and sold several albums? Who the fuck is Rich Perkins, Sr. Director IT? I've never heard of you and neither has anyone else until you showed your ignorance here. Ooooh, big man, Sr. Director IT. Is that your corporate bullshit title for yet another person in today’s business world who doesn't really know how to do their job when it comes down to it? The error that’s always popping up in Windows, yeah that’s not the computer that’s an id10t error. Oh wait, don’t tell me, you have degrees in the computer science field right? Oh I see ok so that would pretty much make you a paper tech. You should really get out more, maybe go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself once in a while. See, I can be an asshole too :D. In the immortal words of Guns N' Roses. "Get in the ring mother fucker and I'll kick your bitchin’ little ass, PUNK!!!!!!!”

Nickelback?! I don't care how many records they sell, they still fucking suck! Why don't you just sign Brittany Spears? She would sell you a shitload of records too! Nickelback single handedly destroyed any respect I ever had for Roadrunner!

Being a huge Metallica and GNR fan from way back, even I have to admit that Death Magnetic and Chinese Democracy are just bland. I still love to see Metallica live (for the old sh1t), but they haven't produced anything of real quality for nearly 20 years. As for GNR, they imploded just after Appetite, and went downhill. CD is just another stop on the way down.

As for your comments about Nickelback - yes, they are cock-rockers. But, it's probably Nickelback that subsidises dozens of other bands on the Roadrunner roster. Still doesn't mean they should be in any Top 10 though!

Dude, seriously? The new Oasis was actually really GOOD! Now I can't comment on the new Supergrass, but in my experience with them, they've been pumping out seriously worse garbage than Oasis since their second release as well. The new Oasis, I thought, was a return to form. I felt like they were a rock band again. Watch Lord Don't Slow Me Down and try to tell me that Oasis aren't still pretty awesome, and until I watches that, I'd kinda given up hope as well (like watching Immagine by Pearl Jam, you'll relive your youth). Supergrass couldn't do that if they tried.

Rich, you're a fuckin' idiot. The Clash sucks dick and so do the Raconteurs. Portishead and supergrass blow also. Nightwish and Within Temptation bury them in shame.

NICKELBACK is the worst band in the world. Everything sounds too similar. They're the reason it's shameful to "sell-out".

Nevermind your taste in music. You're hot.

I'm not entirely sure what is more funny, your review list, or the mindless, inane, ignorant banter provided by the die-hard Metallica fans.

You people are fucking morons if you think Metallica is the best metal band in the world now.

I like how several of these people were so offended by your comments on the Metallica that they've resorted to infantile means to attempt to insult you back.

The fact that you're a professional working for RoadRunner will forever supercede any childish comebacks they could muster, as its simple proof of jealousy and their inability to do anything about their own miserable lives.

Props to you, and props to Roadrunner.

Fuck Metallica, fuck you idiot fans. There's nothing metal about them, which is why I suggest they should not be allowed to use Metal in their name anymore.

We shall from here on out refer to them as 'Lica.

Hey HAFUCKINGHA you can 'Lica my balls.

It has nothing to do with being the best or worst, but with respect and what you do with the power you have, he brutally insulted a band. It just who you are! Sad, sad!

Anyone noticed this warning

Please be respectful of your fellow human beings. Racist, sexually explicit and offensive posts will be removed.

I guess Roadrunner don't follow their own rules. Respectful!

Yeah Joe, you would resort to something homosexual like that, I suppose, what with you being a faggot and all.

Anyways, lets take a step back, and allow idiots like Joe to continue to suck on the balls of other men, dreaming of Lars in his mouth.

Bands get insulted all the fucking time, get over it you stupid fucking chode. Metallica blows just as much as you wish you could.

Fucking moron.

Ok dude, Money isn't the only reason Metallica keeps making records. They keep making them because theyre musicians, thats what musicians do. Plus as if there isnt millions of fans wanting more from Metallica anyways. If you dont like Metallica, don't listen to Metallica. It's pretty simple.
PS Death Magnetic is the best thing theyve released since Justice.

Nameless troll that keeps posting on here:

-How is it ignorant to tell someone to tell someone not to put an album on a list like this if they don't like it?

-Metallica being insulted by people on the "Metallica are sellouts" bandwagon is nothing new, but the fact that this "professional" calls their best album in 20 years a piece of shit, then practically sucks Nickelback off in the same list is just ignorant.

-You do realize that its possible for someone to like Metallica without worshiping them, right? Nobody tried to say they were the best band in the world. And yeah, they are metal. They created a genre of music, released a bunch of genuine classic albums, recently released a great comeback album, their best material in 20 years, and they deserve to be inducted into the HoF in their first year of eligibility. Calling people ignorant for standing up for a great band that has accomplished more than your sorry ass ever will just makes you look like more of an asshole.

Also, Rich, consider that if it wasn't for Metallica, there wouldn't be any Nickelback or any other shit "rock" bands for you to masturbate to.

Rich Perkins doesn't masturbate. His greatness coerces others to masturbate amongst the dead bodies in his wake.

what a dumbass, bashing metallica. FUCK YOU IT DIRECTOR, you are all on slipknots and nickelbacks jock!!! Nickelback is your reason for staying at ur job? what a fucking joke.

Holy shit. Are you kidding? You praise Nickelback and shun Metallica? You aren't worth to eat James Hetfield's shit. How hard is Chad Kroger fucking you?

Hey, some people have hated Metallica forever years now, like Dave Mustaine.

We're all entitled to say fuck you to whoever we please, and I say fuck you to you too, you fucking fuck, fuck you.

If ever I needed a reason to not buy anything from Roadrunner ever again, it has just been provided by Rich Perkins. Cheers cocksucker!

I've been thinking about this for a while now and i just can't come up with a reason why you work at a record label Rich... You have written the most childish comments i have seen in my life.. Grow up.. And if you don't like an album, keep it off your list

Lessss go Messssss ! but i dunno - i dink da jankees are gonna be better den us wifout pedro!

Rich - i can see you work at your desk from my apartment. Sometimes i sit at home alone, naked, and i think - wow that guy Rich Perkins is hot - but then i fear that the press will get on me like they did to Mike Piazza - so i close my shades and let you get back to doing IT things. Maybe one day we can get together and listen to Helix.

your comment on Metallica was so FUCKING SPOT ON! the new album sucks donkey shite. They are washed up. James....quit taking vocal lessons..you were much better off without them. retire..

isnt this supposed to be your top 10, yet you say that half of them are shit.

and for the record metallica are back on top form imo, death magnetic was clearly the best album of 2008

All you people who feel the need to constantly bash Nickelback really need to get a fucking life! SERIOUSLY! Didn't your Mothers ever teach you if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all? Grow up!

Why don't you stick to praising what you enjoyed musically throughout the year instead of bashing someone elses unprecedented sucesses. To expect another Appetite for Destruction or Master of Puppets is ridiculous, artists grow and to want an exact repeat isn't progress. Both these bands exceeded expectations. As a representative of roadrunner records you should be embarrased. Are you still 15 years old or what?

Rich, I loved your commentary on Meatalica and Gums and Roses. For all those who think Metallica is still great and want to argue about it, get a life.

110% Agree with your Metallica review.
I used to LOVE and WORKSHIP MetallicA, since the moment I listened their 80's albums. And the black one too. Didn't like load&reload that much, but still...
I'm used to listen a lot of crap these days, so I thought Death Magnetic would be BEARABLE, but I listened like 5 songs and I began to feel sick. It's terrible, if I had a dog, this CD would have been my new disposable frisbee.

Fuck the Metallica comments! I am one that didn't like anything they put out after the Black album also, but your comments about Death Magnetic are just ignorant...You know nothing!

I don't understand why you put Death Magnetic and make this comment... I simply can't believe your words. It's one of the BEST Metallica albums. It's simply awesome and for sure it's the #1 of my list.

Well said. Metallica can disappear for all I care. I don't care hold old they are. Shouldn't they be improving with age?

FUCK YOU!
if you dont like Metallica, dont fucking listen to them you fucking arse-shite. its out of order what you said! fair enough if you dont like them, but dont fucking abuse them personally! do you know them in person? you cant tell them to retire just because YOU dont like them. i dont write shit like that about all the bands i dont like, i just dont listen to them and i fucking think you should do the same!
And by the way, death magnetic is a kick-ass album and metallica are an amazing metal band! Peace x

Hello again.
i would just like to say you are a prick and what you said about axl rose is offesive and uncalled for. how could you wish him death? do you realy mean that? if you do i think you need help! just because he has made an album that YOU dont like doesnt mean that you can abuse him like that! i must admit, i am not a big fan of the album, but i dont write shit about it and wish axl death! its better than anything i could do and im sure its better than anything you could do so shut the fuck up you arsehole and go die already (joking of course)

Hey you fucking asshole. I dont know who pist on your food but i like the guy that did it. You make me reallt mad. Metallica is the best heavy metal band in the world. They are a bit old, but who said that you have to be twenty to rock? Nobody you dick!how can you say that they suck, when about 150.000.000 people love em? Tell me? I dont think that so many people can be wrong about one band. They have more style than any of the other bands you named on your list. If you only can be negative then why the hell did you make this fuckin list?! Metallica have made the best record in 2008 and im deffenatly not alone about that. Go fuck yourself Rich. You dont make any people happy with that attitude!

Its sad to see people whine when your own opinions about Metallica... Honesty ftw and Metallica have sucked since 88 :)
Way to overrated these days and loads of groupies,hip hopers etc just thinks it cool to listen to them... narrow metal fans too.

Music reviews are just as worthless as movie reviews. There is nothing so arbitrary as taste. Bashing an album or artist is a waste of time. Every album is liked by somebody, somewhere. Only a chump uses a FAVORITES list as a soap box.
