Fanboys are really stupid at times.

There's a few (like me, I think) where the fanboyism isn't to a riduculous degree.

Although Nightwish is still the single greatest band on the face of the Earth. :thumb:

I understand. Like me with Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, or Arsis.

But taking shots at one's favorite band just hurts oh so much. :(

That little after thought was genius.

I have to say you're wrong though, it's definately either Underoath when it was Dallas, James, Corey, Octavio, and Aaron, or In Flames when it was Anders, Glenn, Jesper, Johann, and Bjorn.

That band sounds pretty unoriginal, I mean, just amalgamating three other band's names into theirs...

You'd think that, but it's actually one of the most unusual bands I've ever heard. There's no constant thought really. It goes from an American metal song to a melodic death track to some kind of power metal. It's like an acid trip.

And then some pr0n.

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Will you still be saying that without Tarja (sp?)?[/QUOTE]

Probably. Tarja just provided vocals for the band...she didn't write ****. Although she will be sorely missed...:(

Ben, don't be so blatanly religious. :angry:

I rather liked Drawn Together, aside from some really disturbing moments.

Ahh, so it's just Underoath's first two ablums minus the black metal parts?

Tyler 12-30-2005 02:55 PM

I think that the singer in Watchtower might just be worse than the singer for Cacophony. Maybe...

np: Avantasia - Reach Out For The Light.

Hehe, I hate you guys the least.

Shattered_Future 12-30-2005 02:55 PM

Probably.

I dunno, I'm afraid of Underoath, after samples their 2 recent albums almost caused me to spontaneously combust to ease the pain.

I can't wait, I'm seeing Sonata Arctica in a few weeks :D

Oooo, where?

I'm seeing them in NYC on the 18th at B.B. Kings. Gonna be one of the greatest shows ever. :)

English people are alright, even if your comedy sucks ***. :angry:

Toronto. It was them or Finntroll, but I dont drink, and if I were to see Finntroll, I'd probably have to start. Plus they were both $25, or I'd have gone to both. I've never actually been to a power metal show, I'm stoked.

Haha, I like [I]The Changing of Times[/I] and [I]They're Only Chasing Safety[/I] a lot too :upset:. It's just that [I]Act of Depression[/I] and [I]Cries of the Past[/I] are a lot more Metal, though there are some very good death metal segments on [I]The Changing of Times[/I] (like in [I]A Message for Adrienne[/I]).

They made a progression when they lost and gained members. They started off with the line-up of Dallas Taylor - Vocals, Corey Steger - Guitar, James Smith - Guitar, Octavio Fernandez - Bass, and Aaron Gillipsie - Drums, then on Cries of the Past their keyboardist joined and they got a lot better, then on The Changing of Times, Corey and Octavio quit, and were replaced by Chris and Grant who really aren't that good at Guitar and Bass, and then while they were touring Dallas quit the band. They then replaced him with Spencer Chamberlain who can scream so much better than him, but also has a knack for lapsing into generic emo singing, and had Aaron do a lot of singing too (same kind of emo singing). James still does some pretty cool riffs, and Aaron's drumming is still really good though.

Tyler 12-30-2005 03:12 PM

UnderOath? Death-Metal? I never thought I'd hear those two words go together...


(I realize it's technically four words, but suck my n[size=2]u[/size]ts)

I saw the Finntroll concert too...if Sonata wasn't playing, I'd have definately gone to see that.

Supposedly, weren't Underoath's earlier releases really, really long? Didn't they have 10+ minute songs?

EDIT: Ok, I have just pressed the button to convert 4300 songs to AAC format. Now we wait...

Hahaha, good luck. Have fun having doubles of everysong, too, or does it just replace them?

PinkFreud 12-30-2005 03:29 PM

is there an advantage to having them in aac as opposed to mp3?

edit: it doesnt replace them. i constantly have to delete doubles. every so often my portable hard drive will switch drive names and i have to reimport everything which means i have to delete a ton of doubles. painstaking.

In short, you save a lot of disk space and dont really sacrifice any sound quality.

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Hahaha, good luck. Have fun having doubles of everysong, too, or does it just replace them?[/QUOTE]

It'll have doubles but you have the option to only put the AAC ones onto ur Ipod. Atleast i do

edit- oh wait you can choose if you want doubles or if you want them replaced. Duh.

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Hahaha, good luck. Have fun having doubles of everysong, too, or does it just replace them?[/QUOTE]

It does doubles, but I'm hoping everything stays highlighted, so I just press delete and just the AAC files remain.

Knowing my luck, that won't happen, and I'll need to delete every single one of them by hand.

I'm gonna delete everything on my iPod and replace those too...

Well, usually they put it in the iTunes music folder, so unless you keep your music (non AAC) in there, you can always delete your music folder and then be left with the AACs (which iTunes organizes for you).

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]hey you forgot the bracket on the last quote tag CaC[/QUOTE]

That's weird, I hit the quote button. I guess it's because this computer is so slow that I deleted the bracket instead of the letter I meant to delete. I basically type too fast for it, so once I'm finished typing this huge paragraph just appears. It doesn't help that this keyboard is wireless and the batteries are dying, either. Oh well it's fixed now.

hey fags.
sup?
