I joined some time ago, probably around may or june. I kind of stopped comming here thanks to vacation (strangely, the internet is much less funn when you can go out every time you feel like it.) and recently, university. I believe I posted a "I'm back" message two days ago.
People come and go. I was absent for a year, came back because of GoatChrist, stayed because of the newbs. Though I think our opinions on the internet differ, especially now. I could go outside, but its damn near 20 degrees.
I also just kind of noticed that the childish habbit of giving crappy bands crappy names still hasn't died down yet, and wanted to respond to it.
You call it childish, I call it beating a dead horse. I was being tongue-in-cheek and I guess you missed it. Frankly, the names I used are very, very played out, but I always accept new ones if they're funny. And they pop up.
(you know, I might just not be tr00 enough...)
I don't listen to "troo" stuff often, in fact barely. I resent the culture some times because of the obsession with being more and more underground, however:
Lifelover
lawls at the band pic. These guys are serious. It may be an undercut to make fun of a band's image, but it was funny regardless. I personally don't listen to them.
Herfst
Never heard of them, but they are independent and without an LP. Troo kvlt indeed, well-played.
Ancient rites
Good stuff
I
Sorry, but yawn
Kreator
Not my favorite, still good
My dying Bride
Good
Tankard
Don't know them, not a Thrash fan
Leng Tch'e
Were good, going downhill IMO
Sabaton
Power metal isn't my thing either (ask the other members). Another lulzworthy band pic though.
Sonata arctica
see above, minus the lulzworthy
Rotting Christ
Excellent.
Nanowar
if its Manowar and you typo'd, then they are classic, even though I don't like them that much. I googled it just in case (I've been surprised before by one-letter-off band names) and apparently a Nanowar parody thing exists. If its them, IDK...
I think I can say I have a rather varied taste. Pretty much anything that's called metal, and quite a lot of music that's not.
I'd definitely say you're in, and its not like I listen to exclusively metal either. I just enjoy it the most.
oh, and mate... don't think I don't know half the bands here. I'm would be the first one to admit my knowledge isn't that great, but you're not exactly talking about underground here.;)
I know that. This isn't the Metal Archives board or even something worse than that. But your attitude leaves something to be desired. Its a little condescending, because this thread wasn't going to be and isn't going to be anything but what it is not. Its how I remember it when I was a newfag, just in reverse. Pertinent discussion is always welcome, but if you want more serious conversation, hit up another board. Not that I'm trying to push you out or anything, but what you see is what you get.
Because this pic came from a shining show, a week ago.
Yes, that Kvarforth
and yes, that's Maniac (Skitliv's touring with shining and hellsaw)
I don't really care that much myself, but I thought it was funny.
