Which is more expensive than $70.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]Oh man. I have to register for classes on tuesday but I need to talk to my advisor about maybe changing my major before then because it'll affect what classes I'll take.

And I only have 5 dollars to last me the rest of the year.

And now my cigarettes are flattened! What else could go wrong?[/QUOTE]

Damn dude, that's harsh.

Seriously Mr.Vikingcore, please stop following me around threads just to say i'm to elitist, or as an example in the overated thread, deliberatly take a stab at me for something i don't even do. I haven't even mentioned Arsis as a band for so long on these forums, and when i do i give constructive reasons as to why they are good.

I don't see why when i tell someone to buy the only good album out of a list because the others DO blow goats, i get such a hard time ffs.

I've been following you around?

It's awesome that I mentioned that you get irritating, and you make a huge fuss over it. I also find it humerous that I completely disagreed with you and pointed it out. You seem to fail at realizing how retarded you look when you basically say OMFG ALL OF DAT SHIZ IZ MAD GHEY. I haven't been following you around, I've just been in the same threads as you dumbass.

But the thing is, i have posted the reasons as to why i think Gothenburg sucks many times. Seriously, when was the last time i mentioned Arsis to anyone on these forums in a fanboish way, that didnt have a good argument behind it as to why i like them?

It wasn't even a serious statement, and you took it so seriously.

The fact is you keep freaking saying Gothenburg sucks, Gothenburg sucks, and your whole argument has always been IT'S SO GENERIC.

That's not an argument at all, you freaking act like your tastes are so superior, and it's irritating, because I'm a huge fan of the Gothenburg scene and you act as if it's the worst music ever, and that's all you say, you give no argument.

You also hardly ever back your opinion dude.

LOL HTATAZ LIEK JHOEY JORDISSON!

That was a great argument for why Donati wasn't worth mention in the drummer poll :rolleyes:.

Depends on what level you have it set on. I can play some on Hard but Expert is way out of my reach. Then again, I tend to play guitar with only two of my fingers, so incorporating four is alien to me.

Edit: that was to Six Foot Revolver.

I hardly ever back my opinion? Fine, i will, for the last time because im so sick and tired of facking stupid pussy metal fans on this stupid forum, and now i know why i havent posted for so long.

Gothenburg to me is a watered down, commerically viable form of Death Metal*, that incorporates few/no actually elements of the Death genre and only serves as an influence for crappy American 'Melodic Death Metal but we actually aren't, we are just stupid scene kids who mute all the time' bands. Arch Enemy could have been good, but instead they decided to employ a female singer who can barely scream, writes crappy lyrics and encourages the rest of the band to play a form of ridiculously light metal. Same with In Flames, apart from they always blew dick. Now it is undeniable that the only elements of Death that they actually incorporate are the vocals, because from The Jester Race onward they lost any kind of the feel that is associated with Death, including the speed, brutality and values of the genre. In short, they wanted a bit of cash and they got it selling generic, repetetive albums.

Gothenburg should NOT hold any relation to Death Metal in any way, because it has barely any death influences. Its like calling Trivium Melodic Death, or Killswitch or Unearth. And guess what? People do, and it pisses me off. Thats why i hate Gothenburg, and thats why i hate all the crappy American metal bands who think they are Melodic Death.

And yes i think most of the music you listen to sucks, and you think most of the music i listen to sucks, so we're all good.

See, i only mentioned the word generic once.

*Term used in loosest and falsest way possible.

Oh man, great argument, I especially love how your facts included stating that you think it's watered down, and that you think it's too popular. I'm glad you can hate a genre for influencing bands that you don't like. It's also an awesome fact that In Flames always blew dick, because that's obviously not an opinion.

Also, guess what, Gothenburg is loosely related to melodic death metal. Killswitch, Trivium, and Unearth are all death metal influenced, but they're too varied to be simply classified as anything specific.

Much as Joe's not being a happy camper recently...I have to agree with him on the whole Gothenburg thing, basically the reasons he's given there are pretty much the same as the ones I give for not liking it.

None of those bands have nothing to do with Death Metal, neither do In Flames and neither does Gothenburg.

I don't hate them because they are popular, i hate them because they make a mockery of Death Metal because its comercially viable with idiots like you.

Anywho, i'm off now and i doubt i'll be back. Btw, i never did understand why you hated everyone who disliked watered down forms of metal, but i guess i do now.

Same reasons for not liking it, but not valid reasons for it not being "metal".

[size=7] I AM NOT SAYING ANY OF THOSE BANDS ARE DEATH METAL. WHY SHOULD I GO THROUGH ALL THE [color=silver]FU[/color]CKING TROUBLE OF READING YOUR POSTS IF YOU DON'T READ MINE. I AM SAYING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT. BUT I AM ALSO SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MAKE IT BAD. IT DOESN'T ELIMINATE THE OBVIOUS DEATH METAL INFLUENCES THE BANDS HAVE.[/size]

I do know what f[color=silver]uck[/color]ing death metal is.

Cryptopsy is death metal.
Capharnuam is death metal.
Bloodbath is death metal.
Immolation is death metal.
Gorguts is death metal.
Death is death metal.
Morbid Angel is death metal.
Lykathea Aflame is death metal.
Intestine Baalism is death metal (An Anatomy of the Beast, melodic death on Banquet in the Darkness).
Behemoth is death metal (with black metal influences).

I could make this list go on for a while, the fact is I'm not an arrogant prick like you.


I refer to the Gothenburg bands as Gothenburg metal. I refer to the American bands as post-thrash/post-hardcore/melodic death.

[QUOTE=Behemoth_Rules_All]Same reasons for not liking it, but not valid reasons for it not being "metal".[/QUOTE]
Well, I have trouble with it being Death metal, because my taste in Metal runs far away from In Flames.

EDIT:See Matt's post, that's probably the best way to classify it.

Wow you can name some DM bands? OMFG

and lol @ Matt Heafy in a DM band.

Ollie:
Which is completely fine. Sometimes I refer to In Flames and the likes as melodeath, but that's just out of a bad habit. I understand that it's not the major vein of death metal.

That has a lot to do with what music they play :rolleyes:.

Yeah, I would class Autumn leaves, say, as Melodeath.

When I think melodic death metal I almost automatically think Quo Vadis or Intestine Baalism... that's some damn heavy and melodic sh[color=silver]it[/color] right there.

I might look at those two some time.

I highly recommend Quo Vadis

Arurcard go home.

Hes right, Intestine Baalism = the best thing to come out of Japan since Naruto :p

And old Quo-Vadis was brilliant. Not to keen on the new stuff though.

Oldschool Quo Vadis is the only stuff of theirs I've heard.

And that Naruto reference made me die a little inside dude :p.

Who defines whether a genre is 'watered down' or not? What makes something watered down, anyways?

I mean, really.

I heard some LoG the other day and my first thought was 'lay of the pinch harmonics dude!'

What songs? Now You've Got Something To Die For? Laid To Rest? Those are the only ones where they really get out of hand with them.

If I can think of any song that made me think, "lay off the pinch harmonics," it would definately have to be [I]Fixation On The Darkness[/I] by Killswitch Engage... Adam kills some pretty cool riffs.
