Children Of Bodom

[Shadows]

There's something about Yngwie that really puts me off of him. I don't know what it is, but I just get that vibe from him. I should more of his stuff out though, because I love neoclassical.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Yeah, you have to give Iommi credit. I mean, he was missing 3(or was it 2?) fingers, and that was back almost 40 years ago...

[blair]

i see all these lamb of god, opeth, cob, iron maiden threads....what about
diabolical masquerade, vital remains, light this city, amon amarth..necrophagist?

[Bazarov]

I wish I would have seen CoB when they came to my city. Anyways, is the new CD really as bad as people say?

C'mon now, this is a CoB thread, that comment was useless. We have a "death head" thread where all extreme metal such as necrophagist and amon amarth are discussed. You already made a Light This City thread.

sorry if that pissed you off..but the new CoB is pretty bad..compared to thier other albums..

No, I'm not pissed at all. I just don't want CoB fanboys to start flaming you because of that comment.

Here's the death heads thread

We like to discuss Necrophagist and Amon Amarth quite a bit in that thread. As well as all types of extreme metal.

[blair]

haah thanks

[AA-12]

I personally think the newest CoB album = Best CoB album.

[Bazarov]

I'll have to check it out then. I'm pretty sure it can't be really bad.

[PsychoticFlubber]

It was three fingers. In fact, he shouldn't have had that happen, because it happened to him at work on a day where he wasn't even supposed to be their. Sorry... just a random bit of Iommi/Sabbath trivia for ya.


Black Sabbath started everything that turned into metal today. I don't care what anyone says or thinks, because they started it all. But to me, Iommi won't be the only one deserving of credit. Each band member went through some hard times, and each of them are by far amazing. I wish I got to see them at Ozzfest for '05 but I wasn't so fortunate.

Anyway, back to the whole "great guitarists" discussion... I never understood why Dream Theater has been so worshipped by musicians, because I could never listen to any of their songs all the way through because I find them to be unbelievably boring. So if anyone can tell me some songs that would spark my interest please do.

[MRDuCran]

Although CoB are my favourite band, I can see why people say they get boring. After studying Alexis guitar work, I've noticed he relies on the same chord structure for alot of songs, if not the main riff then it's a solo backing. BUT there's something going on over the top so you don't notice it is much, i.e solo, vocals.
This chord pattern is usually in a minor key (have Bodom ever written a major song???) and starts on the root. Then there will be other stuff in between, sometimes not but it goes to the 6th chord in the scale, then the 7th back to the tonic. So an example is: Dm, Dm, Bb, C.

Some blatent examples of this are:
Everytime I Die (verse)
Hate Me (under the intro melody)
Lake Bodom (intro rhythm and verse)
Needled 24/7 (guitar solo backing)
Silent Night, Bodom night (chorus)
Towards Dead End (intro)
Living Dead Beat (intro rhythm)
Are You Dead Yet (verse)
In Your Face (chorus)

Obviously I know there's more than that to Bodoms music but he does kinda take advantage of that movement sometimes. :P

Don't get me wrong, I fukkin love it but that's probably the reason why people say it's boring when infact it can be very intense. :cool:

[Toaster]

Yeah, a lot of melodic metal bands follow those sorts of patterns. It's what makes Gothenburg and melodeath boring to a lot of people. I think the only really Major part in a COB song is the verse of Northern Comfort.

I think that's what he means.

I don't see why so many people are knocking the new album. I think it's a great effort at trying some new stuff. Now yes the Brittney cover is a little over the top...but hey it shows how confident they are...

[King_Of_Terrors]

Britton where have you been lately?

AYDY isn't really bad, it's just a bit different. I like it, almost every Bodom has a completely different feel.

[blue3]

I personally think the newest CoB album = Best CoB album.I wouldn't say it was the best.. It's pretty good though.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I agree with blue3. In Your Face is a great song though.

[MRDuCran]

That Britney cover is great, I'm aware that they didn't take it that seriously but I think it's pretty cool.

Ah man I've been so busy with school and any extra time I have I've been playing guitar. I thought I would have some time over X mas break...but I was at my Grand parents and the PC wouldn't let me log into any of my acounts anywhere on the web....so that sucks.

The mailing list is great BTW

[blue3]

That Britney cover is great, I'm aware that they didn't take it that seriously but I think it's pretty cool.Ha yeah it is cool.. I learned parts of Hate Me yesterday. :)

[King_Of_Terrors]

Yes, Julianne did learn parts of Hate Me, thanks to ME!

[Britton]

Yes, Julianne did learn parts of Hate Me, thanks to ME!


Do ya'll know eachother?

[blue3]

Yes, Julianne did learn parts of Hate Me, thanks to ME!You just suggested the song.. But fine, thanks I guess.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Just online. I haven't seen anyone on MX in person, yet. :p

[Britton]

Yea neither have I...that's probably a good thing

So I got to play the amp I'm getting (someday) I plugged in and ripped away some COB and this old guy on a strat looked at me with this expression...it was the funniest thing I've ever seen

[King_Of_Terrors]

Does Britton have anything against old guys with Stats? :angry:

[Britton]

Haha no as a matter of fact I don't...I think it was him having something against young guys in beanies impersonating the talanted Mr. Laiho

LoL He was cool

Night

[King_Of_Terrors]

:lol:

Cause my dad is just like that guy...

Our tastes in music differ...however at least its still good stuff!

[blue3]

Haha, you and your orange beanies.. Was it orange? I can't remember.. Anyways, my dad and I listen to the same things.

Just online. I haven't seen anyone on MX in person, yet. :pSame here.

[>>Metal Munky<<]

i dont mind the COB version of The Trooper
Sounds sweet to me

[blue3]

They didn't cover that song. They covered Aces High by Maiden.

[planet_caravan]

the new CoB is pretty bad..compared to thier other albums..

i disagree

Although it isnt their best album it still has some old bodom in it, its got some heavy riffs and lots of keys

its catchy but i guess it aint the best its still up ther tho

[MRDuCran]

I got the new edition of Young Guitar today with sexi Alexi on the front.
After this post, I'll prolly be learning Trashed, Lost and Strungout, and the Living Dead Beat solo. Wooo.

Hey man, if you get a chance you should through that on Bearshare for me :)

I have been waiting for that video ever since the day I saw the cover on scythes of bodom...

DT is really a hit or miss with people. Either you completely love them, or hate them. I'm on the earlier one. I personally find them to be one of the most interesting bands out there to listen to. This is probably because Petrucci is basically my idol in music, and i've studied him for a fairly long time. Same with Portnoy and Myung.

Opinions! :chug:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Can you see what?


the new edition u got can i see it like the cover?

[MRDuCran]

[PsychoticFlubber]

Yeah... you should deffinately leak it onto BearShare for me :)
Doesn't the video come with tab too?

[AA-12]

MRDuCran, I will love you forever if you could post the tabs for the main riff in Living Dead Beat. The one after the buildup <3

[PsychoticFlubber]

^
What he said :)

[MRDuCran]

I can't put it on Bearshare cause I don't have a DVD reader.
Yes, the tabs come with it.
Tbh, I nearly cryed watching it. He's realy sloppy on some demos, example Towards Dead End. I could honestly play it cleaner than he does on there...:eek:
He plays Downfall differently on there, the verse of Living Dead Beat sounds weird.
AYDY sounds like the record though.
Lake Bodom is tabbed a way I've never seen before but is actually really easy.
The way he plays In Your Face is the way I transcribed it a few months back, every other tab on the net is WRONG. :D
The Hate Me single solo I don't have yet.
Overall it's OK but he could do much better.

Actually, I am highly curious about Downfall... I have tried it for myself but all tabs are wrong. If you could tab that, than it would be greatly appreciated for it being one of my favorite songs...

[MRDuCran]

When I say differently, I mean odd sounding. He uses the same guitar for the whole thing and it's in CGCFAD and he goes down to the 8th fret on the low E string and A string, it doesn't quite sound right and is really awkward to play.

I think the net tabs are more correct....I think...

That sucks...

But if you have a scanner you should scan some pages with tabs on it for all of us. We would all love you to the pit of our CoB obsessed hearts...

[PsychoticFlubber]

Oh by the way, it probably sounds wrong because he is playing it correctly, just on the wrong tunning for itl

[King_Of_Terrors]

What part in Downfall are you discussing?

[PsychoticFlubber]

What part in Downfall are you discussing?
The intro guitar riff. 0:04 - 0:07...

[MRDuCran]

You're right about it being correct but in the wrong tuning, I modified a guitar pro file and it's perfect. :D

I didn't look like he was playing it this was on the video of Downfall live at Tuska 2003. Ah nevermind.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Maybe I'll try to figure that out. If the tabs are wrong then I can usually get something by ear.

Well, that's good to know. Because, I believe that is a song he should have showed everyone a long time ago. That riff is awsome. So, if you ever do get to scan anything or tab something out yourself, I would love you forever (not in a gay way) if you sent it to "Powderburn1214@aol.com". :)

[IheartSP]

Usually Guitar Pro tabs are at the least 80% correct, and with a basis that large it's pretty easy to correct it by ear if you know the song, for Downfall it went like 0 to 7 on the A string when it's really just 0 then 0 again, pretty easy to fix.

[blue3]

Yeah, Guitar Pro tabs are good. That and powertabs are the ones I use most.

[MRDuCran]

ohshi

i just tryed to play along with alexi with my guitar in drop c

but

he plays in drop d (dadgbe)

:eek:

[King_Of_Terrors]

I need to figure how to write stuff in Guitar Pro...

I wrote one of my bands songs on Powertab last night :D

[IheartSP]

Guitar Pro is 10x easier than Powertab if you get the hang of it. Powertab just infuriates me, you can't use the scale option on the fretboard, the tracks all meld together, the switches are terribly confusing.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Why don't you tell me how to work it then?

[Shattered_Future]

I hate Powertabs. It wouldn't let me click anything at my friend's house. :mad:

All the buttons were in weird places too...I kept pressing the wrong ones.

[King_Of_Terrors]

So you know how to work Guitar Pro?

[Shattered_Future]

Nope. Neither of those programs work on Mac. :)

See, all this MIDI **** is cheating, I think...you learn a lot better from getting a normal tab, sitting down with the song, and learning it by ear with the tabs to help you out.

[King_Of_Terrors]

But Guitar Pro sounds cooler because it has drums and everything, plus you can take out the guitar parts and substitute them with your playing :cool:

[IheartSP]

Plus with GP5 you get the whole real sound engine thing going to use it for backing tracks and such. The fretboard and keyboad are also lifesavers.

[Shattered_Future]

Whoop de frickin doo...

You know what else has backing tracks? The actual song. You cheaters.

[IheartSP]

The real song isn't a backing track, it's already got all the parts in it...

If it was cheating we'd all be amazingly famous guitar players, not sitting in our basement still practicing.

[Toaster]

Nope. Neither of those programs work on Mac. :)

See, all this MIDI **** is cheating, I think...you learn a lot better from getting a normal tab, sitting down with the song, and learning it by ear with the tabs to help you out.

I agree with this. If you really have trouble learning songs by ear, try transcribing the entire song, then check your transcription with an online one (assuming the online one is correct). Your ear will improve, as will your understanding of modern songwriting.

[IheartSP]

I don't see how GP affects your ear, if anything it makes it better. I'm able to tab entire songs, and it's thanks to guitar pro for that becuase after using it for so long I started to see a connection between my ear and the fretboard.

[Shattered_Future]

The real song isn't a backing track, it's already got all the parts in it...

Exactly. The way that the actual band plays it, not somebody's interpretation. It works out better that way.

I have troubles figuring out songs by ear, so I use a normal tab. It works out better, you, the tab, and the actual song. It shows you if it's correct or not.

With a Powertab or a GP tab, you play along with the actual tab. There's no way to tell if the tab is correct or not unless you check the actual song, which, if you do anyway, there's no reason to use the tab.

[IheartSP]

I barely ever learn a song off a tab exactly the way they put it, more likely than not its a song I know in my head by heart and I correct the mistakes myself, like I mentioned earlier with the downfall tab. It's not like I'm a robot playing exactly what the tab tells me to.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Lots of GP tabs are inaccurate. I read them and play with them, then listen to the song and see if anything is wrong.

[MRDuCran]

I use GP for writing mostly, and you can hear how your compositions sound with as many guitars as you want, keyz, drums so you get a full band sound.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Yeah, that is true there.

[Shadows]

ohshi

i just tryed to play along with alexi with my guitar in drop c

but

he plays in drop d (dadgbe)

:eek:
Standard D actually. It's always D or drop C.

[MRDuCran]

No, that's why I put that face, because he plays in Drop D.

He's used C# standard before too.

[Shadows]

No, that's why I put that face, because he plays in Drop D.

He's used C# standard before too.
What songs? :confused: I thought Alexi always used D standard or drop C.

[MRDuCran]

Everything off Something Wild I think.

[Shadows]

Everything off Something Wild I think.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. He played in Db/C# back then.

[Shattered_Future]

Db standard = coolest tuning ever.

Dark Tranquillity tuning. \m/

[repcak]

I like B tuning a lot... it sounds so heavy, and for me it sounds more natural than E tuning

btw Behemoth tuning \m/

[Toaster]

Yeah, I have a guitar tuned to E standard and B standard. B is really heavy.. and drop it to A and you have Nile! Nile songs are really fun to play.

[MRDuCran]

Indeed they are. I learnt Lashed to the Slave Stick recently, so cool.
I really want a tab for Sacrifice Unto Sebek. I tryed myself but got bored after about 5 minutes.

[PsychoticFlubber]

Maybe I am the only one who doesn't like low tunings... I love to play things like Behemoth and Arch Enemy which are tuned 1 and a half steps below standard... but I hate playing anything that is tuned 1 and a half steps down in dropped B... Playing things such as Slipknot annoy me to no end because most of the time the strings flap around and have horrible sound. I like bands that tune like that though... like Kataklysm.

[Shadows]

Then get yourself heavier strings. That makes all the difference. I love low tunings when it's all set up correctly, because then I can just turn up my amp and chug any mindless power chords and it sounds so brutal. :cool:

[IheartSP]

I ordered some Zakk Wylde strings so my tone will be much heavier than it is now, I use .10's.

[Shadows]

I'm using .10's right now, but I can't stand them. I'm tuned to C# to learn a Behemoth song, but I need at least .11's or it feels really sloppy to play.

[Britton]

I'm using tens on a Jay Turser LP style guitar. I tune down and turn up the OD
and I get a great Zakk tone.

are ya'll fans of Alexi's tone?

[IheartSP]

His tone is decent, a bit too crunchy at times for my taste, especially on FTR. My favorite rythym tone of all time has to be Jon Schaffer's tone, especially in the song Stand Alone. As far as lead I think Alexi does have a good lead tone, along with Jari Maenppa and Timo Tolkki.

Yea he has great lead tone. for some weird random reason it reminds me of comic books...is that strange or what?

[Shadows]

I don't mind Alexi's rhythm tone now, but anything before HCDR and it seems like his tone was for lead only. It didn't have much of a bottom end at all.

[umosay]

Dumb thing about the RSE in GP5 is the drums!!! You can hardly hear them.

[dest. Chaos]

I use GP for writing mostly, and you can hear how your compositions sound with as many guitars as you want, keyz, drums so you get a full band sound.

[IheartSP]

I can hear the drums fine, it's the bass drum that's the problem. The beta version of 5.1 comes out later this week I believe, where you can make your own patches and drum kits and such.

I have to fortissimo the bass to hear it on GP4.

[MRDuCran]

I've recently fallen in love with Alexis tone, it's realy dry sounding which is really cool for palm muted pickign 16th notes or something. Like Sixpounder or Chokehold.

[IheartSP]

Man I am getting verbally pummelled in that Metalcore thread. It's really hard for me to understand that 30 Seconds to Mars and Dashboard Confessional aren't emo, and all these crazy 90's grungeish indieish bands are what emo really is.

[Shadows]

People always seem so edgy about emo and metalcore. Discussions on what they are always turn into flame fests, so I just stay away since I don't like or listen to them anyway.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I'm the same as ShadowsFallen. I don't listen to it, but I just tell people its hardcore + metal.

[Silenius]

Well everything with core at the end evolved from hardcore, some even say grind did.

[King_Of_Terrors]

True. I don't listen to Grindcore so I wouldn't know.

[IheartSP]

But apparently metalcore has nothing to do with emo, and Avenged Sevenfold has nothing to do with emo, and even Dashboard Confessional has nothing to do with emo. It's all quite bewildering.

[Silenius]

I have no idea what A7X is, but they suck. :lol:

[IheartSP]

Well in my mind A7x is Metalcore, Hard Rock, and some parts are actually quite remeniscent of Powermetal.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I don't listen to Avengedge Sevenfold either.

[blue3]

I've only heard a few songs by them. They're okay.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I don't listen to Avengedge Sevenfold either.


I hate them i made a mistake of listening to a friend and getting there cd, biggest waste of money ever :mad:

They are so image obsessed. (very homo-erotic) :lol:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

idk anything bout them i just know they sound like crap lol

[IheartSP]

They look like complete emo pussies.

[Shadows]

Heheheheh, I can't stand that band. I'd be lying if I said their image wasn't part of it, but the music is just as bad.

[IheartSP]

The only thing I give them credit for is the occasional power metal leads.

[Shattered_Future]

Avenged Sevenfold's new album is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Waking The Fallen, however, is an absolutely brilliant album. All of you haters, go listen to either Second Heartbeat or I Won't See You Tonight Part 2. The solos in both of those will make you go :amaze: .

And I think the best example of what real emo is is A Day In Black And White.
Dashboard Confessional is MTV's version of emo.

[MRDuCran]

Apparantly the guitarist is a good sweep picker, I listened to one of their songs and it was as sloppy as the shiit that I squeezed out earlier today.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

lol thats so gross

[MRDuCran]

u luv it

[Shadows]

From what I had heard, I do't see why so many people rank their guitarist up with Pretrucci. Maybe I was just listening to the wrong songs, but it was the epitome of mediocrity.

[MRDuCran]

Up with Petrucci.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA

No

Fukkin

WAY!!!

haha

Petrucci OWNS that wimp bitch

I finally got that Hate Me LEGO version again.

[IheartSP]

I remember that, hilarious video, whoever did it had way too much time on their hands.

[MRDuCran]

Haha yeah. I only got it for the solo, since the actual song was re recorded for the single version with a different solo n all.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I finally got that Hate Me LEGO version again.

Any chance of their being an upload :p?

[MRDuCran]

Yer tomorrow, I'm not in bed yet and I've gotta be up in 4 hours...GAY.

[blue3]

You wish you lived in Finland. Why do you have to be up in 4 hours?

[IheartSP]

We all wished we lived in Finland so we could either start a cool band or join an already existing cool band there.

[blue3]

Yeah, that's true. Finland sucks at hockey though. Canada won 4-0, not that anyone here cares.

[MRDuCran]

Or to meet OMGALEXI!!!

I have to go to college.

[IheartSP]

I'm not a hockey fan

You crazy Canadians and your hockey :p

[blue3]

I'm not a hockey fan

You crazy Canadians and your hockey :pYeah.. :)

Have fun at college.

[MRDuCran]

Thanks. I'll try.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I wish I lived in Finland also...

[IheartSP]

It would be kinda cold tho, you are lucky to have year round warmth.

[AA-12]

I'm moving to Finland next summer \m/

[blue3]

Too bad, you're stuck in Florida. The cold is good sometimes..

[Shadows]

I wish I lived in Florida. :(

[Toaster]

Yeah, that's true. Finland sucks at hockey though. Canada won 4-0, not that anyone here cares.

Hey, I watched.. I was a bit worried in the first period, Canada got off to a slow start.

Finland would rock, but I hear there's less sunlight? The high suicide rate is strange too.

[Blinded]

Look, music is a matter of taste and it's okay if someone likes/dislike The Killers you just need to respect that. Personnally I don't but I won't blame someone who listens to them

[blue3]

Good that you watched the game. Hanoi Rocks is in Finland too, so I'm sure it's awesome.

And Necronomicon - that's awesome you're going there.
I wish I lived in Florida. :(I know, me too. Apparently it sucks there though. Wait, I thought you liked snow/cold places?

[I'm Charming]

I missed all the talk about a7x but I'll share my two cents.

Waking the Fallen is a excellent album.

City of Evil is a good album. It has some great lead riffs but the singing is pretty bad. People do make it sound worse than it is though. There are much worse singers that get less crap.

Their solo's are great. Nothing near Bodom or any melodic death but great none the less.


Yeah.. I live in the US but I like hockey... Our goalies suck for the coming olympic team though.

Maybe just form a band and talk with a accent... Tell everyone your from Finland.

That would work..

[King_Of_Terrors]

Look, music is a matter of taste and it's okay if someone likes/dislike The Killers you just need to respect that. Personnally I don't but I won't blame someone who listens to them

And what the hell does this have to do with anything?

[repcak]

Hey, I watched.. I was a bit worried in the first period, Canada got off to a slow start.

Finland would rock, but I hear there's less sunlight? The high suicide rate is strange too.

yeah, and in finland its sooo cold in the summer :smash:
bullshit... that are the stereotypes about all countries who are in the north.

i was born in poland and i live in austria (16yrs in the alps - now in vienna) and the summer is in poland hotter than in austria and in austria we have more snow than in poland in winter... although poland is 300-800km more in the north than austria.
its the same as with finland and even russia... do you really think that there is always cold in moscow? lol

but i can't say anything about the high suicide rates ... hm... maybe its true?! but the biggest suicide rates in the world has japan :D

[King_Of_Terrors]

If people hate the cold in Finland then they should move. :rolleyes:

[Shadows]

I know, me too. Apparently it sucks there though. Wait, I thought you liked snow/cold places?
I do love the snow/cold, but there are many people down in Florida that I'd love to meet.

[King_Of_Terrors]

But Florida is pretty lame. It never snows, and the population increases by 300,000 people every year.

[MRDuCran]

Have you ever met The Rock from WWE?

[King_Of_Terrors]

No? Why would I?

[Shadows]

Hasn't everyone?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

why does it seem like everyones met someone famous but me

[Shadows]

I've never met anyone really famous.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

well youve prolly met atleast someone the closest thing i got was seeing the backstreet boys from afar lol so lame

[MRDuCran]

I haven't met anyone famous either. I asked about the Rock cause he lives in Florida.

I do know the guitarist from Mendeed but noone probablyknows who they are anyway.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Who are they?

[MRDuCran]

A band from Scotland, they're hardcore-ish I think, I'm really not sure. But the guitarist can sweep like a bitch.

[Arucard]

:(

They are so image obsessed. (very homo-erotic) :lol:

man if their singer just screamed 'YOOOWW' every now and then and the band wrote repetetive and formulaic music, re-used riffs and released a new album that is American metal crap because they 'wanted a change' then they'd be as good as CoB wouldn't they.

oh shi....

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

So, none of you have the ability to talk crap about Avenged Sevenfold when the thread is about a band who made Are You Dead Yet?

K Thx

[King_Of_Terrors]

That wasn't cool.

[Arucard]

Not cool, but true.

This is why i dislike CoB fans. You all think they are so brutal and orginal, when they are complete pussies compared to most metal bands, and they aren't doing anything new, yet you still bash a band because they are 'emo fags.' I doubt you even know what emo is.

Hey now, don't generalize.

So no one happens to like Avenged Sevenfold. I don't see why that means you should come in here and start flaming.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Yet you fags group up and come into threads bashing users.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

GTFO


Hey, lets get this straight right now alright?


ME > YOU

K THX BAI

So coming in flaming is worse then mindless circle jerk bashing?

Nice.

[MRDuCran]

omgz bobo de cob fan told u to gt out. u bter do it, he mite gt alexi on u zomg

Yer stop trying to start arguments about who likes what music, it's sad.
We like CoB, you obviously don't, amirite?
We all realise they're not the most extreme, orignial, best, fastest, whatever, band around but we like them so you'll have to deal with it eh.

[Arucard]

thats because you bashed a band with no valid reasons except 'they look emo.'

And Shadows, i didn't mean you, i meant the other idiots in this thread. I know you know your metal, on the other hand i know that 90% of the guys in here do not.

[Shadows]

It isn't exactly "better".

:lol:.

[IheartSP]

Arucard if your just gonna come in here and bash people about how terrible Bodom is then get out becuase no one wants to hear it. We can think what we want about A7x, and I don't recall any of us saying we don't like them solely becuase of what they look like. There are a few fans of their older stuff in here, and whether we like their image or not (which most of us, including ShadowsFallen don't), we don't judge their music on what they look like, we judge it on their music. You have no right to come in here and tell us what to think about Bodom becuase that's up to us, not you. As far as I know no one went into the A7x thread and said how much they suck and how much better Bodom is, becuase any of the regulars here are beyond that.

[Silenius]

So, none of you have the ability to talk crap about Avenged Sevenfold when the thread is about a band who made Are You Dead Yet?

K Thx
I never said I like AYDY. I think it's pretty bad.

As to A7X, I'd like to see them do the stuff Janne and Alexi do.

BTW: I like how all arguments against bands arer always the same. CoB are too repetitive, Norther are rip-offs, Dimmu aren't tr00etc. etc. :lol:

[Shattered_Future]

Howzabout we do something simple...why we dislike the bands.

I dislike Avenged Sevenfold (on their new album, mind you) because:
I think their singer has a terrible voice. I don't care if he bursted a blood vessel, you guys need to find a new singer.
While their drummer is good, he has the most fake sounding drums I've ever heard. And I don't like that.

Now, COB:
All their songs have a familiar feel to them...same chord patterns and whatnot.
On the new album, every song starts with a C chord. I don't like that.

See? Democratic, yet it still gets your point across.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Every song starts with a C? :lol: I was unaware of that.

[IheartSP]

He's right actually, every single song is in the key of C minor and starts on a Drop C chord.

[Shadows]

That's a pretty miniscule detail though. It's not like every song is identical.

[Shattered_Future]

They ALL do.

Living Dead Beat: Palm muted C chord.
Are You Dead Yet?: C chord
IYWP...PFW: C chord
PMIB: Variated C scale (ok, so it wasn't all chords...it starts in C though)
IYF: Classic palm muted C note
Next In Line: NOT a C chord? Well, a D chord then, which is what most of their other songs were based in.
Bastards Of Bodom: Sounds like it's based in C
TL&S: C chord
WNGF: Based in C

So there. 7 (possibly 8) out of 9 songs are based in C. It wouldn't be a big deal if they were changed up a bit, but they really aren't. So is my big gripe with Bodom.

[IheartSP]

I do like to hear some variety once in a while though...I wouldn't exactly call AYDY a very modal album...

[Shadows]

I wasn't doubting you. What I'm saying is that the songs all sound very different, so what difference does it make what the very first note on the song is? It sounds a little stupid to me, but I guess everyone has their own view.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I haven't listened to it enough.

[Shattered_Future]

I wasn't doubting you. What I'm saying is that the songs all sound very different, so what difference does it make what the very first note on the song is? It sounds a little stupid to me, but I guess everyone has their own view.

To me, though, they DON'T sound different. They sound way too similar for me to enjoy it.

[IheartSP]

I do agree with Shattered Future that they all do sound a bit similar, moreso than Follow the Reaper, which kept the similar feel yet changed it up a lot. I think AYDY slightly crossed that line.

[Shadows]

To me, though, they DON'T sound different. They sound way too similar for me to enjoy it.
Fair enough. I thought it had just as much variation among songs as past albums, but $%^@#$%^ I guess.

[King_Of_Terrors]

but what?

[Shadows]

$%^@#$%^!!!!

I wasn't really sure what to write there so I filled in the gap.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Oh alrighty.

[MRDuCran]

I've listened to AYDY twice all the way through recently. I find myself singing to myself when I'm walking down the high street or in Burger King.

[Shattered_Future]

Oh alrighty.

He does that a lot, you have to get used to it. :thumb:

Prada my ***. :mad:

[King_Of_Terrors]

What?

[Britton]

I have a Random question...

I don't know much about Keyboards or the world of Keyboard players but it seems to me like Mr. Warman is kinda the Hendrix of Keyboards. I'm gonna get some of his solo albums.

What would you all say about that?

[IheartSP]

The solo stuff is extremely similar to Stratovarius, but with an excess of keyboard solos and mostly instrumental songs. It's pretty good though I must say.

[Silenius]

Get Beyond Abilities or Unknown Soldier. Salieri Strikes Back is the pwnage even though parts are ripped of from BAchs Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor.

[Britton]

I'm so intrigued by his playing. I hear some of those crazy sounds and I'm blown away. I guess I need to get some Stratovarius

[King_Of_Terrors]

Accept The Fact is awesome.

Warman isn't the Hendrix of keyboards though :/

[Silenius]

Accept The Fact is awesome.

Warman isn't the Hendrix of keyboards though :/
Accept the Fact sucks compared to the other two. Too much singing and the vocalists all piss me off, even the Stratovarius guy though hes usually good.

[Britton]

Yea like I said I don't know much about Keyboards...but that guy is crazy. When I saw them live he did a solo and his second key on the bass side got jammed so Alexi came out and did a solo.

I don't think he got it to come back up either...it was a awsome solo though

[King_Of_Terrors]

:lol: That would have been awesome.

[Britton]

:lol: That would have been awesome.


Then Janne watched Alexi shred and he started mimmicking him on keyboards. It was so awaome. Jaska also had a awsome solo it was about 8 minutes

Later guys

[AA-12]

Not cool, but true.

This is why i dislike CoB fans. You all think they are so brutal and orginal, when they are complete pussies compared to most metal bands, and they aren't doing anything new, yet you still bash a band because they are 'emo fags.' I doubt you even know what emo is.
You know, you're a pretty hilarious guy.

lol hey dont make fun

[I'm Charming]

lol hey dont make fun

You know how everyone says CoB has never released a Live DVD or movie...

This thing I have here...

There are credits on the end... and It has a little thing that flashs across the screen when it starts...

It looks pretty official to me... I can't picture a bootleg being this quality or having credits on it...

I shall upload to YSI....

[Silenius]

Well there's a live in Korea DVD...

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

ok sounds cool to me and what is ysi?

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Well there's a live in Korea DVD...

oooh, i want to watch :)

[I'm Charming]

ok sounds cool to me and what is ysi?

You Send it....

I upload the 200ish MB video to there... I'm having the DL link go to my email...

Then that will find it's way towards the CoB fans on here... lol...

That is one of the funniest things i've seen in so long. :lol: :lol:

[I'm Charming]

You may need to download the "DivX" codec... You can just google that and get it... It's free.

I would convert to MPEG or something but that would take the quality outta the picture...

[IheartSP]

What is it? I don't feel like clicking.

[Shattered_Future]

These jackass's annoy me, ALOT.

Why? It's mindless fun.

Their Nightwish cover is one of the most messed up things I've ever seen. Almost as messed up as that one Rammstein song with the simulated gay rape scene on stage. The former is funny as hell though.

[I'm Charming]

What is it? I don't feel like clicking.

It's a 34 minute excellent quality concert video of CoB, thats all....

Sorry to bother you with that.:thumb:
