they're completely different situations that u cant compare. it's like saying "see, look at Rhapsody, they didnt completely change their name when they became Rhapsody of Fire"

Do you really think nobody got offended at the name when the terrorist organization popped up? Do you really think nobody asked them to change it because of it?



I don't see a difference between the events other than the circumstances causing the events. Bottom line is, this band completely changed names, Isis simply made one small edit while keeping the original intact. No matter how it is, I will never not feel the name change was anything other than a cop out.

i mean i dont doubt ppl got offended, a lot of ppl are stupid what can u say. how do u get offended at a band, who 1.) whose existence preceded the terrorist group and 2.) not even named after them, but the greek goddess instead (see 1 for why they couldnt have been named after them anyway)

im fairly certain they changed it because they didnt want ppl thinking they were affiliated to the group, or that they were the official fb page for the group or something. not because they offended some ppl who couldnt do some basic research

Yeah, as I said, I focused more on the event rather than the cause. But I get what you're saying.

well maybe you should because it was the band's fucking choice and if you don't like it deal with it ffs it's just a name

Mad sinternet?



Of course its their choice and I respect that, but I don't like it. Nor do I have to.



You're so unnecessarily annoyed, but then again you love posting in every opinion I present just to be the contrarian.

if you respect that then why are you coming into the thread to act all dumb about it



half this thread is just people talking about the dumb name when we could be discussing how kickass this album is



but you know, your opinions are so easy to be contrarian against



you don't need to get offended and prissy about a band changing their name man
