lol that made my day!
On a completely different note, I am going to open up a discussion about the black metal band Darkthrone.
They are completely overrated. I view them as the Cannibal Corpse of black metal, but not quite as good or hilarious. They make completely contrived music, and rip off the originators of black metal. They made 3 good albums, I'll admit, (Plaguewielder, Ravishing Grimness, Under A Funeral Moon) but most of their albums are just 1 or 2 good songs and 6 or 7 filler songs. Transilvanian hunger is even worse; it has NO good songs.
I am perpetually sick of darkthrone fanboys going on about how "cold", "ingenious", and "hateful" darkthrone is. Mayhem did the same thing (but 100000x better) about 3-5 years before TH was released, and DMDS (which was recorded in 92) is infinitely better than TH. Darkthrone, while being popular in the metal scene, contributed NOTHING to the scene. From their first BM CD (A Blaze In The Northern Sky) they were ripping off Mayhem and a few others (but mostly mayhem.) They even stole riffs from Mayhem! And on A Blaze..., the singer (Nocturno Culto) sounded almost exactly like Dead! Yes, Nocturno Culto, the man who's voice is different on every CD and can't settle on a single sound, ripped off Dead.
Now, not every bm band that existed after Mayhem is ripping them off. Burzum did something new, Immortal ended up doing a lot of new things, Emperor did something new, Enslaved did something new, Dissection did something new, Gorgoroth did something new, Ulver did something new, etc... But Darkthrone didn't. They (like CC) took the stereotypical bm sound, and... made it mediocre and tragically boring.
Anybody have anything to contribute?
