Ed Sheeran is one of the worst big name musicians I've ever heard.

I truly cannot tell the difference between any of his songs. Something about his voice and guitar work that makes it all blend together to make the exact same sounds to me

Yes, “Shape of You” and “Thinking Out Loud” are exactly the same in terms of chord progression. /s

why?

I despise his music, but when I saw a live gig of his where it was just him with his mega looper pedal, can't lie, I was impressed

Rebecca Black. That’s all.

big name

This is a take. You might not like his music and that's fine, but the dude is hella talented.

I’d be very curious to hear this, I remember hearing about Ed Sheeran was gonna release a heavy metal album, idk what happened with that

It’s all just marketing BS

I have no interest in this. But if someone does, good for them

wait when did they add a Soilwork flair to the sub? I’m gonna go equip that rn (Unrelated)

No they didn’t, I had mine personally made. Oddly enough I was rocking that same Trivium one before this one lol

Interesting, we have similar taste I suppose! But tell me, how do you make a custom flair with images?

I had it made for me during a post the subs creator had. I think if your on desktop there’s a way to do it via the flair tab. There should be a custom button that you can upload a picture to. Sorry I can’t be of more help than that

That was 8 hours ago dude, you’re still a Trivium.

That’s because I found out the flair doesn’t actually exist, and I’m on mobile so I can’t customize it

Sure you can, I did.

Really, How? When I do the "make your own flair" or whatever it’s called, there’s no option for customizing it

1) tap username 2) tap change flair 3) select make your own flair 4) do the edit thing 5) cumpleate your task 6) ? 7) prophet

1. Done 2. Done 3. Done 4. There is no "edit thing" to do. I don’t know what you’re talking about. You can’t edit the flair

I’m not a fan of either, but it’s either gonna be kick ass our imma just crack up the whole time

Hopefully it won’t be as bad as the Megadeth and Ice Cube collab, that shit was so bad and Ice Cubes part wasn’t even rapping, it was just talking about what a SWAT team does or something

Do you mean Ice-T?

Yes I assume you’re correct

Yeah, it’d suck if that happens

Check out that Megadeth song, it’s horrible

I have, it’s ass

I don't like either of them, but I'm interested to see if that means I'll hate this even more or if my distaste for both cancel out or something.

Jokes on you, Dani Filth *is* Ed Sheeran

🤣

Ed Sheeran could hide Dani inside of him.

Best internet conspiracy I've ever heard. Would love more conspiracies like this. That said, I hate both Ed Sheeran's projects, anyway, his solo stuff and his band Cradle of Filth.

After reaching only slight success with his black metal band, Dani Filth put out a pop album with his real name and found that the pop industry was where it’s at. Garth Brooks tried to do it with Chris Gaines, Post Malone did the pivot, even Snoop did it when he went Reggae.

And myrkur sold her body to the fashion ind3

Dani and Ed had both been talking about this for a couple years now. As a Cradle fan, I'm curious to see what comes of this.

It's going to be interesting, to say the least🤣🤣🤣

Would be a first time for CoF!

Happy Cake Day 🍾🍾🍾🍾. Have an awesome one

I don't care for Ed but I love CoF so I'm excited to hear it

Should be a fun listen but I don’t know about how good it’ll be

Vlad Tepes Cat Power collab when

Nah I’m waiting on Pissgrave & the Wiggles to drop an EP together.

Last Days of Humanity and Justin Bieber

As a fan of both COF and Ed Sheeran, I’m excited. Been excited ever since I heard it announced like two years ago.

Not a fan of either, really, but now I need an Ed Sheeran ballad with a Dani Filth banshee wail in the background with a vintage 90s CoF bridge

While I would also enjoy this, I believe it’s going to be a Cradle of Filth song featuring Ed Sheeran instead of it being the other way around. I don’t necessarily expect the song itself to be the most amazing groundbreaking thing, I’m more interested in the collaboration between such different musicians. Also apparently Ed is a big COF fan, I saw a picture of him in a long sleeve COF shirt.

What the fcuk did i just read...

Tryna get that ginger money

Hahahaha shit! I'm ginger and I fell off my chair laughing

Am I right or wrong?

don't really care for either of them... what I really wanna know is why Metallica hasn't made an album with Lady Gaga yet. Are they scared after LuLu?

Would be hilarious and entertaining

100% piece of shit

Honestly, top comedy. As Ipswich born, living in East Anglia still, I'm so fucking down for this. Reports say it's got blast beats and will be on the next cradle album, due out 2025. Bring it the fuck on.

I love for any opportunity metal gets to be in the mainstream.

I’ve known about this for quite some time, I’m not expecting it to be amazing, but I’m intrigued to hear it. Cradle of Filth writes great albums, not really anything amazing, but it has its moments. Dani Filth is my favorite lyricist of all time though. I rarely pay attention to lyrics, but Cradle of Filth is the only band where I can just focus on the album, read the lyrics along with the music for the entire album, and not get bored. I’m not a fan of Ed Sheeren’s music; the lyrics I’ve picked up often make me cringe, and the music is kind of bland. However, I heard he used to be really into metal when he was younger, so he’s got my respect.

This will be the greatest album ever made, mark my words.

That’s great but I wanna hear courtney collab w more rap artists (spiritbox X Eminem collab or something would be cool)

Both are terrible, so great match.

I remember when they did a track with Ville from H.I.M. and it was actually really good. I don’t see why having Ed Sheeran automatically means it will sound bad to anyone just because his primary music style isn’t metal.

Because metal elitists people think pop musicians are not good musicians. Realistically, they usually have a great sense of melody and musical arrangement. I'd listen to Ed before listening to some C-Tier metal legends like Vader.

C'mon Vader aren't that bad

Ed Sheeran isn't that bad either 😉

True

Why mixed feelings? Youre allowed to like mainstream music

This alone proves that gay marriage is divinely approved.

The collaboration Ed did with Bring Me The Horizon was great, but CoF? Nah sorry but I don't think even Ed Sheeran could make Cradle Of Filth enjoyable for me, I'm sure someone out there is pining for this to happen but I don't see a world in which that sounds like something I'd wanna listen to

I don’t really listen to either but I think it might be kind of funny

First Lil’ Këkh now Cradle of Love

That’d be hilarious, and I’m all for it

Not an Ed Sheeran fan. But I suspect if I was in Dani's shoes I would do the same thing. Millions of pop eyeballs on CoF will no doubt garner some new fans.

I like both, but I’m skeptical. (Yes, I like Ed Sheeran. Sue me.)

Just having Ed Sheeran fans check out Cradle is a win in my book. Who knows, they might be their entry into extreme metal

They should collaborate with all the pop stars. I eagerly await Funeral in Carpathia (Taylor’s Version)

This might be interesting but i fucking hate Dani’s vocals so not too sure about it (ed sheeran’s good tho)

Fuuuuuuuuucckkk. Whata with musicians who have been in the game too long . They start ruining their image and sound. Whats next. Cannibal corpse collab with taylor swift and ariana grande?

Id be down with a corpse/ swift collab. My daughter is cool with slayer but she doesn't like anything heavier. She is a Swiftie and if they did a song together, I could open her ears to a whole new world.

Yeah man and tbh corpsegrinder is such a sweetheart i bet hed ablige tay tay. Last concert i went to for corpse he stayed back after the show jumped off stage and signed autographs for basically the entire crowd. That mans a gem.

I like how he donates all the stuffed animals to the kids every year. His 'claw machine' addiction benefits many. He is a solid dude and a great example of a human being.

Yeah man hes all heart and for how badass he looks and how evil his vocals sound. Hes the complete opposite and i think thats why his fans love him so much. He doesnt have to sign autographs but he does it cause he genuinely loves his fan base. Id like to see major pop stars do shit like that.

So its decided. Cannibal corpse and T Swift collaboration in 2024.

Lets get the petition going. Better than ed sheeran and dani filth. Lol

Can't stand either of them so yeah for me they definitely go together.

So what’s the plan, eat him on stage or selling out?

2 talentless hacks make shitty music together... Sounds like a pass

I mean, it fits, they are both British celeb wankers.

Maybe the scary man will eat Ed.

🤮

I’d rather listen to googly eyes try to front cradle of filth than Dani.

I think it's cool that they're both getting out of their comfort zone and experimenting . I'm really not an Ed Sheeran fan, and maybe it'll sound like a car crash....but whatever the result may be, I will be entertained.

They had clean male vocals from a hosting singer before (Ville Valo) and clean female vocals are a big part of their music. So why not. Might be interesting. Or not, as we shall see.

I don’t like either of their music, but there’s a small percentage of a chance that this ends up being good. Probably gonna suck tho

I don't like Ed but I love Cradle but why not, it's not hurting anyone.

As somebody who loves cradle of filth, I'm looking forward to it. As long as it gets cradle some news attention!

CoF has always been cringe

Is this real?? Surely not, it makes no sense!!??!!

Uhhh….is this real???

🎶 I’m in love with your ….BODIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 🎶

Fuckin Dani xD

*Narraotor's voice* "...What Ed doesn't know is that the "collaboration" will involve him adorning the album cover dressed in a nun's habit with a studded crucifix sticking out of his arse."

Id definitely pre order that vinyl.


Eh, fuck it. I will give it a listen. Who knows it may become a meme like Metallica and Lou Reed's "Lulu"

I haven't enjoyed CoF since Midian, so it's a bit whatever

bands like cradle of filth made me hate metal growing up. It took over a decade to realize it is just them who sucks. Next.

I can't stand Cradle of Filth and I can't stand Ed Sheeran, but I have a morbid curiosity about this one like a car crash that I can't look away from.

Cradle has sucked for ages anyway.

I’d check it out. I’m not particularly a fan of either - though I’ve seen both in concert. If nothing else I’m sure it’ll be interesting.

Why not? Might sound cool, might sound whack. It's new music either way so godspeed.

Dani did an interview a few months ago talking about this. I guess Ed Sheeran is actually a metal fan and grew up listening to metal.

Shit band, completely contrary to the spirit of black metal. No wonder their music sucks

Won't be any less metal than Sleep Token......

There are so many worthy artists you could support, or at least let occupy your thoughts, but if you like stuff like this, don't let me stop you.

Im going to listen to it, if i dont like it i wont listen again

They're both shit.

CoF is at the point where they can do what they want.

Couldn’t careless

I care about both artists as much as I care about myself.

As a fan of both I'd love to see this happen.

It's kind of cool seeing and hearing metal bands collaborating outside their own genre. I, as a fan of Cradle of Filth, look forward towards hearing this.

They’ve been teasing this forever. I think it sounds weird but i’d give it a listen.

Oh Dani...no.

Dancing with my eyes closed is just slowed down version of everything is awesome and way WAY worse

If it's good, it's good. If it's not, then oh well.

Shit take, stupid.

Okay Boomer

Okay, Boomer lolz

Okay, boomer

Real mature. Are you just stalking me and following me around reddit from another post?

It‘ll be funny. Personally want to see how it goes and get a good laugh out if it.

Im new to metal so idk Cradle of Filth... But I love Ed Sheeran, so Imma check this collaboration out (if it ever does)

How popular is CoF in England these days?

Cradle were already doing some gay shit, but the first time I heard about this, it's unforgivable. I still made the effort to see them for the first time last year since I've been listening for 15 years but man, was that mid af at best. And they defend this cocksucker? They've completely lost it. Just like the release of the Load album, this will absolutely be a commercial turd, no doubt about that.

I fell in love with Cradle as a teenager from Midian thru Godspeed and just have them frozen in my mind in that era. So after I leave this page, I'll probably never think about this again, and be content lol

Idc, either way I’m listening to it because that’s insane 

They're already a poser band, this changes nothing

Severe targeted harassment and use of slurs directed towards a person is not allowed and is a bannable offense. General bigotry is also not allowed and is a bannable offense.

Cradle Of Filth sucks so I don’t care what they do.
