Context is everything and Raith chose to be associated with the negative context of the word 'random'

It's like when a person goes around calling themselves assholes because they seem to think that means people will think they are funny.

Yet this club often says that about ourselves.

There's been a few instances this page.

This lass isn't Noel Fielding, she's not on stage trying to entertain us with her kookyness. She was just being jovial and wanting to join our club. Her list was acceptable and we should be welcoming.
When did this club become a place for comedy snobs?

Cause you should all be posting in my club instead...

Shes in we needs more womenz, Sam's cooking doesn't satisfy me.

it's not the word itself, though. it's the personal connotations that it caries. i could give fuck all about what the word itself is, it's the attitudes and behaviors reflected by it.

anyway i'm not telling her to cut that out because i'm a comedy snob, but for her own good. no one would ever let it go; all other parts of her post were perfectly acceptable, it's just that "random" thing. i'm not doing this to hurt anyone's feelings, just to avoid long-term conflict (seeing as her list was acceptable, thus making her [arguably] qualified to post here regularly)

It's funny 'cause women are irrational!

Anyway, if you plan on sticking around, Ralith (which you should, if you like metal), you need to grow a thicker skin. We all insult each other and give each other shit. It's not personal (in your case, at least), it's just how everyone is here. And I mean, metal and hostility go hand in hand. It'd be a little weird if we were all hugs and rainbows here (that department is covered by Nev). Leave the "random" shit at the door, though, no one needs to hear about that.

Whatever....

I'm used to being in an 'all/mostly male environment' (due to welding and such), so don't give me that thicker skin shit. I didn't expect it all to be hugs and rainbows in the slightest, just a little acceptance or at least a mild understanding would have been nice.
If Metal wasn't hand in hand with hostility i wouldn't listen to it.
I wasn't trying to be 'irrational like a silly little women.' I was merely voicing my opinions.

I don't have any issue with you Raiith

I myself understand that it takes everyone a little while to get adjusted to NG and I'm sure you'll catch on quickly enough

But until then people will probably be busting your balls, or hymen, or whatever

I thought i would post in a metal forum because i thought there would be similar interests. I did not post here to be insulted.

People post here for both of those things, at the same time.

I get enough bull and whatnot from the people around me thank you very much. You don't have to be complete dicks about it.

You described yourself as random.

So we totally have to be complete dicks about it.

I accept you pride yourself on being 'random'.

I mildly understand that Rammstein and every band you like are shit.

No one accused you of that, Jesus. Stop being irrational like a silly little girl. I wouldn't flatter you with the word woman.

I'm sorry but I don't want to hear the opinions of a 17 year old girl who's out to impress and brag at every second.

Reasons you should GTFO:

1. You like shitty bands.
2. Being disrespectful to D3NTATUS, who is a good friend of mine.
3. Being disrespectful to SOAS, who I like a lot.
4. Annoying me.

You're trying way too hard. Australia is just the dirt I stand on. And the heroin overdose thing is completely unrelated.

Heroin is for idiots like Dave Mustaine. God is for idiots too. Like Dave Mustaine.

There's a lot of good things about Australia. Laid back attitude, pot, alcoholism, hot young barely clothed women, no annoying American accents.

My favourite thing about Australia is the lack of annoying American accents :D

Maybe not bad, but maybe tame as all fuck. Oh and you forgot Rammstein and Dethklok, more great bands.

By the way, Iron Maiden are shit on most of their albums, Kamelot are shit, Dream Theater are shit on most of their albums, Primordial are pretty damn lame and Bathory, well Bathory can be pretty good sometimes. And sometimes Bathory can be pretty shit.

Now, GTFO

Never, fuckhole.

I'm being a complete arsehole, and I guess no one cares all that much about my opinions. I just have to admit I enjoy retorting and I'm hoping some people here find my retorting amusing.

Hey guys remember when we used to talk about metal and not shit?

Anyway I'm listening to Anthropocentric by The Ocean, much better than Heliocentric, which I thought was far too soft.

I've been listening to a lot of Post-Rock/Post-Metal lately too, Tuna Laguna, Mouth of the Architect, Our Ceasing Voices, I don't know why we don't talk about it more, it's much better than all the angry shouty crap that usually gets talked about in here in my opinion.

inb4 more drama over angry shouty crap.

Post-Metal is pretty awesome. Pelican and As We Draw are two good post metal bands you should check out.

I'd say you've done well. The only miss I see is Rammstein but the fact that you've mentioned Primordial (my sister's trying to get into them) is a nice surprise. I say: Welcome to the Metal Hell!

I couldn't agree more. We should be basing it on if the bands are metal, not if we like them or not. Any elitist prick who wants to be hostile towards new users can take a break from the BBS. THIS applies to anyone here and not just certain users. It's reasons like this we have a hard time getting new users to stick around.

Best voices in Metal?

In my opinion:

Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica)

Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

James LaBrie (Dream Theater)

Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian; Demons & Wizards)

Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun; Alghazanth; Empyrean Bane; Verivala;
Barren Earth)

Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth; Bloodbath)

Rob Halford (Judas Priest; Halford)

James Hetfield (Metallica) - Seriously on the beginning of Metallica just sucked. But from black album and on, even if you don't like what Metallica turned into, his voice just became better and better. Anyway, opinion is subjective.

Simone Simons (Epica)

Niilo Sevänen (Insomnium) - Probably one of the best growls I've ever listened to.

Russel Allen (Symphony X)

Roy Sætre "Khan" Khantatat (Kamelot)

Phil Anselmo (Pantera)

Peter Steele (Type O Negative)

Eric Adams (Manowar)

King Diamond

Messiah Marcolin

At 12/18/10 10:07 AM, TheDaemonicPoet wrote: Best voices in Metal?

Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, King Diamond, Devin Townsend, Chuck Schulinder, Arjen Luccassen, Ronnie James Dio, Russel Allen, Soren Nico Adamsen, Mirai Kawashima, Tobias Sammet, Hansi Kursch, and Mille Petrozza.

Also, have any of you guys heard of a band called Voodoocult? It had Mille from Kreator, Dave Lombardo from Slayer, and Chuck Schulinder from Death. I need to check them out.

Actually, I just listened to a couple tracks from them. They are awful. Avoid this album. Vocals suck, drumming is boring, and only a few of the riffs are good. Why Chuck? Why Mille? Why Dave? Why did you produce such an awful album?

Alright

I think I know have a proper list of Bands I like or are interested in pursuing further

Metallica
Dio
Black Sabbath
Mastodon
Equilibrium
Behemoth
Belphegor
Waitan
Ensiferum
Tyr
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Slayer
Helloween
Stratovirus
Gamma Ray

And probably others I can't be bothered to list off right now
