Trans-Siberian Orchestra is officially the greatest Christmas band ever. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]He's got a point though...listen to Dragonforce. :mad:

Only 1 album has a complete amount of songs where none stands out, simply because they are perfection (and it isn't Wintersun).

That album is Character, by Dark Tranquillity.

Classicals are a hell of a lot easier to play than a normal acoustic...smaller neck.[/QUOTE]

Actually, at this point I like Damage Done better. The tracks are more varied.. I find on Character that all the songs are very similar. Both are outstanding, to be sure.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Only 1 album has a complete amount of songs where none stands out, simply because they are perfection (and it isn't Wintersun).

That album is The Art of Balance, by Shadows Fall.[/QUOTE]
Fixed. :p

Everyone's going to have their own answer to that one.

[QUOTE=PsychoticFlubber]I know this might seem kind of random and off topic-ish, but since the topic of clean sound is brought up. Is there anyone else here who prefers a classical acoustic guitar over a normal one like a dreadnought? Maybe I am just wierd, but I think the sound it so much better.[/QUOTE]
They're built for different sounds. I like to play a standard dreadnought, but if I were to play classical. I'd get a classical guitar.

OMG i know there so awesome i love there version of Carol Of The Bells gives me chills man

They're good when they're playing Christmas music, but when they try to cover old songs it's awful.

yer i tried that n all but nothing happened

in the mean time, face up to the fact that not everyone like dragonforce

at least ignore my post including this one

No, I prefer my own fantasy world where everyone either likes my views, and is my friend, or doesn't, and is shot on site.

Almost like Russia. :chug:

ok fair enough

That doesn't sound like the Russia I know.

I think Damage Done is slightly better than Character. I enjoy character but I can't really remember how any of the tracks go, while every single track on Damage Done stays in my head for weeks.

does anyone else think that the new guitarist (robert) is better than Laiho... cuz i do?

You mean Roope?

He's not.

yah he is and if thats his name than im sorry i thiought it was robert.

Yeah, it's Roope.

Alexi is better though.

I'd have to say Roope is better cuase he was in Alexi's league when he was 25, and now he is 40.

Judging by what I saw live, Roope is slightly sub par to Alexi.

No Roope is better, he's faster and cleaner. He just doesn't play many leads in CoB cause it's Alexi's band but he's been around since the 80's and is really good.

Well, both Roope and Alexi did solos live, and Alexi's was much faster and more technical. Also in the Passage To The Reaper video, both of them solo during the song they play for Demonstration 2, and again, I think Alexi's soloing was much faster. Don't get my wrong, Roope is an awesome player, but from what I've seen, I think Alexi might have one up on him.

Although, Roope might not have been playing at his top skill. Alexi is the main focus of the band, and generally gets most of the credit and glory of being the "super player". Since Roope is a new member, he might not have wanted to take that glory away from Alexi. He also might not feel the need to play extremely fast. Some guitarists tend to be quite modest with their skill, and don't show off.

It is tough to say who is better because you never know how hard or easy it is for them to play what they are playing. Sure, Alexi might be playing faster, but that doesnt mean Roope CAN'T go faster than Alexi.

Technically speaking, Roope owns Laiho. He was Laiho's guitar idol.

[QUOTE=Necronomicon]Technically speaking, Roope owns Laiho. He was Laiho's guitar idol.[/QUOTE]
That doesn't mean he can't be surpassed by Alexi.

In all of the playing they've done together since Roops joined, nothing Roope has done has been on the same level as Alexi. That may be because CoB is Alexi's band, but even Roope's solo on the last tour was nothing compared to any of Alexi's.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]That doesn't mean he can't be surpassed by Alexi.

[/QUOTE]
Oh, I know that. I'm just saying currently.

I think he has been playing alot longer too.

[QUOTE=Necronomicon]Oh, I know that. I'm just saying currently.[/QUOTE]

I need food.

They have KFC over there!? :eek:

stfu, of course we do :p

>:[

:eek:

*teh shifty eyes*

What other fast food places do they have in Ausland?

The bigger ones. McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc There are probably some we don't have though. I've never been to America so I don't know (although I am going there in the next few months :D

No effing way! :eek: We have all of those!

Why are coming to teh US of A? And what parts will you be seeing?

Well I'm going to a wedding which will be in Boston. We will likely be staying for a couple of weeks after. I don't know anything else.

Boston eh? I'm sorry to hear that. New England winters are brutal. Plus you might get kicked by some of the hXc kids, so make sure you don't go to any hardcore shows are try to buy anyone a beer.

Someday, I also plan to go to Boston. Do yourself a favor and make a side trip over here in northern Ohio. :)

I'll try :D

I've never had an brutal winter. Our winters are probably warm compared to yours.

Probably. It's been pretty merciless over here. It's been about 15 degrees (F) every day and everything is covered in ice right now. It's awful.

I'm assuming you have something more along the lines of a Florida winter.

I'll put it this way.

It doesn't snow here. The coldest it gets is about 14 degrees above freezing temp.

Wow. That's a definite Florida winter.

Have you ever seen snow?
