for one thing i dont watch MTV or VH1. yea sure maybe there is some good emo out there. maybe they have some talent. i and have done research. i just dont like emo is that so bad?

Considering you clearly don't even know what it is, I'd say it's bad. Name three emo bands without the aid of looking it up in the site's emo section.

Hawthorne Hights, My Chemical Romance, Circle Takes The Square.

You got one right, which is better than I expected. Before you're allowed to use the term emo ever again, you have to listen to a sampling of Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Hot Cross, City of the Caterpillar, and Indian Summer.

MCR and Hawthorne Heights are pop-punk. As a matter of fact, MCR once said in an interview that they have nothing in common with real emo and have no idea why their fans label them as emo. Pop-punk =/= emo. Very cut and dried.

And anybody who slags off an entire genre is stupid. No two ways about it.

Actually, your right. i usually try to find good music in all genres. I just never have taken the time to listen to any of those bands you said, so ill check them. This Message Edited On 01.24.07

Dave Mustaine isn't completely innocent either, seeing as he fired Nick Menza while he was sitting in a hospital bed.This Message Edited On 01.25.07

No, Dave isn't a model citizen either. But I'd still rather sit in his prayer circle than go to an art gallery with Lars.

I've always believed the company you keep is more important than what you're actually doing. As obnoxious as born again Christians are, at least I could restrain myself from punching out Dave Mustaine. With Lars, I can't make any promises.

I don't like both of them

I do think Dave's a dick and he really needs to see a therapist and start heavily medicating himself, but I dislike him a lot less than I do Lars. If nothing else, Dave can at least play his chosen instrument.

I don't think Lars is really arrogant as much as he as a bloated sense of importence. I think I just defined arrogance, but I kind of see the two in different lights. :lol:



At least Dave is good at what he does.

Considering Matt Heafy's metallica immitation and the about the same arrogance level... yes it does.

Metal was hardly an anti-trend. If anything it was just a heavier evolution of the trend towards hard rock and in its own right a trend in and of itself. I mean, for crisakes, both punk and grunge made a point early on of protesting the metal trends during their time.
Otherwise, Trivium sucks. Anthem is a decent song I think, but far from even good.

Album Rating: 3.0

Metal is a genre on itself. There are way too many subgenres for metal to call it a branch of rock. Of course, it was made out of that genre, but then again, rock branched out of blues (I think). Metal is just a fully genre on it's own.

I thought some songs were good, if you never heard old trivium or any metallica before. I liked the song to the rats, and thought unrepentant and eotc were ok. Still, poor album.

Album Rating: 3.0

Meh, I just listen to the music regardless of what band, influence or anything other it is/has.



Some songs such as To the Rats or Detonation are decent, but nothing really sticks out. Plus the Crusade is a Dream Theater song gone horribly wrong, and Dream Theater wasn't that good from the start...

Album Rating: 3.5

this would just sound that much better if I didn't hear earlier material or Metallica because you can't really compare this to those.
