My pet theory is that Ozzy Osbourne is actually in regular contact with aliens and frequently travels with them on a time paradox way, decades for him, just days on earth. Thus his confusion is genuine, he really doesn't know what planet he is on and his mind is more filled with alien customs than humans. Also, that is why he acts like such an old person, his body is old but his mind is even older.
This question phills me with sadness. The world is philled with uncultured philistines. I’ll have to console myself with some philafels, and phillatio. to phil you in, that’s “Philthy Animal”. He philled the role of drummer in Motörhead
PSA I'm not a metal head, this was based off of everything my metal head mate has taught me over the years so I may be way off sorry, I did choose my username for a reason.
Edit: just checked the wiki and yeah Dead carried a dead crow around in a plastic bag and would huff it before shows sometimes.
I stopped watching TV when I was six months old
Because it was so boring and stupid
And started reading books
And going to recitals
And art galleries
I don't go to recitals anymore
Because my hearing is too sensitive
And I don't go to art galleries anymore
Because there are people there
And I can't deal with people
Because they don't understand me
I stay home
Reading books that are beneath me
And working on my work
Which no one understands
Back when they first got really insanely famous due to Guitar Hero III, a lot of people thought their music was fake.
They were called studioforce by guitarists who felt threatened by their inability to play TTFAF, and those same haters justified their hate by pointing out that the band themselves frequently couldn't play it live.
This was due in part to the band still having a janky live setup at the time, in part due to their singer not sounding as good live (when they switched singers to Mark it made a big difference for their live shows IMO), and of course because Sam and to a lesser extent Herman would drink excessively before playing a lot of nights, leading to lots of recordings of their sloppy drunk shredding being uploaded to YouTube.
But mostly, I would argue, the hate came from people who dislike new things. They tried to invalidate the band's obvious technical prowess as a way to disregard their (at the time) relatively innovative sounds.
You see that a lot in the guitar community. Anything new or that doesn't fit a traditional, pre-existing mold is dismissed as inferior. Anything non-traditional and obviously skillful tends to draw hate from those same people.
Now that Dragonforce has been around for a good long while, the traditionalists have had time to adjust and Dragonforce has had their live act consistently together for well over a decade, the hate has largely died down.
It also helps, IMO, that Herman Li does regular livestreams so people can see that he's a relatively down to earth guy, especially for someone with a giant wall of guitars in his house and a collection of high end sports cars.

I saw them live in the late 00's at an open air festival, and it sounded like I was playing the track myself on guitar hero. Wasn't super into them after seeing them live tbh, since it seemed fake from the live experience.
I never understood this. This is the same argument people used to hate on electronic music in the early 00's. But like... if it sounds good then who cares?

I don't see what could be qualified as non traditional in their music. It was run of the mill speed/power metal that was pretty common since the early 90s, or even the 80s if you stretch the definition a bit. Even from a technical standpoint they were fucking good but nothing ground breaking.
I always felt that the hate against them came from the fact that they became mainstream popular thanks to guitar hero while they were not particularly notable among their peers in the metal scene.
That's the hate they got from within the metal community. I'm talking about the hate they got from the guitar community in general, which at the time was maybe 90% blues rock dads.
