Death is so awesome.

Death is overrated.


///prepares to withstand flaming



I just don't hear anything great from them. I mean they're ok, but I don't really seriously dig them. Never have.

You like Behemoth, your opinion doesn't matter. :p

Ouch. That was a tad below the belt, but the username could use changing, man hah.

Death is so awesome, but I'm not in a death metal mood much at all right now.

[quote=Hbp;14889791]Ouch. That was a tad below the belt, but the username could use changing, man hah.[/quote]


Dude, no. When I first joined, I was on a huge Atreyu and Breaking Benjamin kick. 2 years later, my tastes had evolved and I got sick of ****ing getting **** for my username when I listened to **** like Behemoth and Nile. So I changed my username.


Now I get sh*t for that. I'm not going to change my username every year or so as soon as people here don't think something's kvlt enough or ****ing whatever. I like Behemoth, everyone can deal with it.

Well, your going to get crap for any username with any band name in it. Anyone will. Imo, it's best to avoid usernames of the sort.

Death > all

And yes, it's best to avoid usernames, screen names, tattoos, etc with band names.

...but that's coming from a guy who goes by MAkerfeldt on more than a few sites.

well, he doesn't have change the Behemoth part.

He could just change "Rules All" to "Licks Butt"

Yea, but avoiding the issue is the same as giving in. As I said, I like Behemoth, so everyone can deal with it.

Crap. I hope ATM saw my post proving that I am not a tool.

Yeah you shouldn't have screen names promoting bands




oh wait...

Haha, mine doesn't really fit me either anymore, but whatever, I don't care.

You know, I listen to bands because I enjoy music. I'm not going to walk around musically analyzing every band just so I can say"oh I can't listen to that band cuz they suck" or "your a tool because you listen to this band".

If you ask me to musically critique a band, I might say yea, bands like Nile or Behemoth or Breaking Benjamin for that matter don't do anything special for thier genre, they aren't groundbreaking, and sometimes they are pretty bland.

But as far as everyday life goes, I enjoy the music, I say it proudly, and I'm not out to please anyone else by namedropping tro0 bands or technically ****ing amazing bands.


I enjoy jamming out to heavy ****, I enjoy listening to more mainstream, catchy ****, and softer **** I can relate to as well.


That's why I get so much crap around here. I'm the only one who supports bands that aren't "interesting", "kvlt", or "talented" enough to get any mention from anyone else. And I gladly take the flaming every day because I really don't give a ****, and I'm proud of the fact that I enjoy a very long list of bands.

[QUOTE=LegionsofMarduk;14889612]Well I supposed this is better than the one moron...whatever his name was started. And I finished in the top 10 for number of posts in the old thread. Probably be a lot higher if I hadn't gone MIA a few times. Oh well.

Funny story...true story...On my way home from work today I had my mp3 player plugged in and was listening to Benighted - Identisick. I pulled up next to this light and this little prostitot pulled up next to me. Kind of hot, but beside the point. She was on the phone and she got all annoyed at my music and rolled her windows up (seriously...it wasn't [I]that[/I] loud) and kep giving me dirty looks. Right. As soon as she got off her phone though by the next light she had her windows rolled back down and had some crappy as[size=2]s[/size[ "shake ya booty" type music on twice as loud as my Benighted. So I turned it waaaay up and got a few more dirty looks. What makes it funnier though, is that since my car is still dead I have to drive the wife's vehicle. A 2005 Dodge Caravan soccer mom mini-van. Imagine seeing a soccer mom van pull up next to you in traffic and blast Benighted.[/QUOTE]

I'm kind of in the same boat. I don't have enough money to get a car of my own, so I drive my mom's car. Honda Odyssey minivan that usually has metal of some form or another blasting out the windows. Especially fun driving around the mall parking lot and having old ladies give me stares.

Yeah but.. why would you be proud of supporting bands that are uninteresting, untalented, and worst of all, unkvlt??

Why not just support bands that are good ?

Also my band is playing with Neuraxis on saturday!

Well, I sort of understand. I always hear people bitching that a certain band isn't original, hence not worth listening to.

Well, I don't care if they were the first to do something, as long as they do it well.

Interesting is a matter of personal perception, and so is kvlt (relatively). talented, who the **** are we to say? Slipknot is simple boring ****, but Mick can play **** 10 times more complex than what he does with them. He's a virtually unknown guitar genius. We can't judge what we don't know.



And I'm not just interested in supporting "good" bands, because that's a matter of personal opinion. I'm interested in supporting bands whose music I enjoy.

It's not that retarded or complex of a thought.

Whatever, just listen to what you like an shut the **** up about it. Who cares if someone bashes a band you like?

But if they have the skill and don't use it, to me it is the same as not having the skill.

I don't, that's my point. I didn't start the ****in argument. I was trying to civilly settle it and make good conversation at the same time. **** dude, seriously.


@ Ricemonster


Pate: I dunno, I really don't think so. I mean I see your point, but they still have the talent and we can't sit and say they don't unless we know it for a fact.

First of all Mick Thompson is s[SIZE="2"]hi[/SIZE]t at guitar. Please don't ever insinuate that he's anything more than a piece of s[SIZE="2"]hi[/SIZE]t guitar player.

What I mean is, why would you support, or even like, a band that you find uninteresting?? Obviously you can't tell objectively if a band is interesting, but I can't see where you'd enjoy a band that you think is uninteresting any more than you'd enjoy an uninteresting book or movie.

If you enjoy a band's music, don't you think they're a 'good' band? :confused:

[/QUOTE]

As much as I hate to say it, I've seen video of him giving a clinic. He can rip. He just can't do it in the context of their **** songs and his **** writing.

Video plz?

That's some retarded logic, "not judge what we don't know".

His playing in slipknot sucks, so I'm not going to go "oh im sure he can play really good when hes chilling in his room so stfu guys". I don't really care what he's capable of, I care about what he does. That's about as flawed as the "don't hate on it unless you can do it better" logic.

Mick is a highly schooled classical guitar player, child. Don't spout off at me, go read the interviews. Slipknot is child's play compared to what he grew up learning.



And no, enjoying music and knowing if it's good or bad isn't the same. "Good" can have many different objective and subjective meanings.....


Good around here tends to mean showing high amounts of complexity, talent, or popularity. What if I listen to something and enjoy it, but it doesn't fit any of those characteristics? Does that make it bad? To you, maybe, but not to me. You see, it's all relative.


@ Nepenthe: he teaches guitar, not just "chilling in his room".

[QUOTE=Toaster;14890538]Video plz?[/QUOTE]

I have no idea where it was. I saw it like 2 years ago.

Just give this argument up, you guys are starting to annoy the hell out of me.

Yeah exactly. What he does outside the band is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is he plays shitty music. End of argument.

He can teach it all he wants, if he's not doing anything interesting on an album I don't see the point.

So you're saying kids shouldn't get lessons from this outstanding teacher because the band he's in sucks, so he must suck too.


Great logic.


And if he were never in slipknot and were just a teacher, that would make him 10 times better of a guitarist. Even better logic. Fvck.

Where did you get that from?

You were sticking up for slipknot by saying "hes actually a good guitar player". I'm saying "he actually sucks really hardcore in the music he plays".

[QUOTE]

cool. what's your band name?

no, mick thompson is very ****ing good at guitar. slipknot sucks balls, but the guy can rip. its surprising how bad slipknot is and they have no solos when he was influenced by guys like randy rhoads and yngwie.

do you guys find it weird that nevermore's azagthoth's list? i saw that post a while back but still. Nevermore is ****ing amazing.
Trey Azagthoth is God
Correction:
Jeff Loomis is God

mick thompson isnt as bad as slipknot leads you to believe but he's really nothing special. he can "shred" but shredding is ****ing gay.

I cannot stand Nevermore one bit.

I have never understood why so many people like them.

[QUOTE=FatalEnergy;14890656]I cannot stand Nevermore one bit.

I agree. I can tolerate them, but they're uninteresting. Shitty vocals, mediocre solos and bland songwriting.

Dammit, I haven't listened to Autopsy in so long. Austin inspired me to give them another healthy listen.

NP: Necrocanibalistic Vomitorium

Autopsy rules. Charred remains ftw.

Why is there so much ghey Mick Thompson talk in a DM thread?

Loomis is a great guitarist.

Nevermore's pretty cool. Dane's vocals are a bit ridiculous sometimes though.

[QUOTE]Why is there so much ghey Mick Thompson talk in a DM thread?[/QUOTE]
Who knows. He's soloing on the new Malevolent Creation album, though.

[QUOTE]Loomis is a great guitarist.
[/QUOTE]
Meh, he's talented and whatnot but I really hate what he writes. The dude who's touring with them now (or was), the dude from Jag Panzer, he's way better.
