I see you guys bashing Children of Bodom all the time, and thats getting on my nerves.
If you cant give me any other reasons than "they are gay" or "lame", you seriously need to explain me why they are supposed to be that gay.

is it because they are popular?
or is it because they arent as cool as Napalm Death
and not enough underground for you guys to like them?

Their image is that of the new Slipknot, and I hate 99% of their fans.
Their music is plain power metal, nothing special, and Alexi's incredibly annoying vocals completely ruin the music. They make it suck even more.
Alexi Laiho wears eyeliner.
Every fucking girl in metal worships Alexi Laiho.
Alexi Laiho plays in CoB.
They're Finnish.
Hence they're from Scandinavia.
Flying V guitars look ugly.
I just plain hate their music.

They're gay cause Alexi wears makeup and looks like a woman. Sure, BM bands wear make-up.... but at least they don't wear girly make-up.

Now, thats just bashing the members..... in terms of music, I dislike them cause Alexi's vocals and god awful. They're bland and not remotely listenable. The guitars are boring and really do nothing to stimulate my interest. Sure he's talented, but so are lots of people, and the a few of the others tend to be interesting too - Petrucci, Buckethead, etc.

So I call them gay cause its just a good all round insult :).

Em, he can act the way he wants, hes not just a good guitarist, hes an innovator in is kind of music, he made things that nobody ever even though about doing on is guitar, and that is not cause h3zz g4yzzz !111

And dont bash is vocals ok?
you guys listen to lots of growlers, screamer and all kind of guys who fucking yell over some dirty and heavy riffs, so why are you trying to saying that his vocals are worst than, lets say, black, death, gotheburg and that kind of stuff?

And why do you guys say that he makes shity power metal.
1- Power Metal is great (dont go around pretending you more hardcore than me cause you listen to black metal or other heavy kind of stuff, power metal is just a bit more melodic and they arent posers, at least not all of them)
2- There is not lot of power metal in CoB, there is some influences of power metal, but its more speedy and blackish than power metal. (not black or speed metal... but surely not power metal)

Iron Maiden

Its not cause lots of people go around saying : " OMG CoB is the best band in the world !!! " that they have to be bad.
You guys use the word overated all the time for no reason, whos cares if lots of stupid childs likes CoB, yeah maybe they are overated. But overated doesnt mean that they suck.

Edguy:

I would like to answer that because I think this band is okay as far as what I've heard and I believe I would like them, but I've only heard a few 30 second previews from the Hellfire Club album.

Iron Maiden:

Killers, but I also really like Powerslave simply because that album has Aces High, which I love.

Symphony X:

the Odyssey, but I'm on the verge of getting sick and tired of it from listening to it so much, so I won't be listening to it for a while. The same happened to me with V: the New Mythology Suite, although I still think it's a good album. The only track I still really enjoy heating is the Death of Balance. I'll get into the rest of the CD again sometime.

You can add you own bands to the list and you do not have to answer for all the bands.

okay, cool.

Angra

Hammerfall

Pantera

Fear Factory

I'll answer those later.

now you're just being a fanboy. You sound like one of those Joey Jordison fanboys. The artist is clearly nothing special, yet called 'unique' and praised in so many ways

He looks like a combination of a 15-year-old goth girl and a herion-addicted hobo.

Alexi Laiho plays in CoB.

Perfectly valid reason.

They're Finnish.

Would a true innovator rip off other peoples stuff and earn the nickname 'Copycat'?
He plays boring Neo-Classical stuff and harmonises with keyboards.... Petrucci and Malmsteen (cept, not boring Neo-Classical) were doing that ages ago.

And dont bash is vocals ok?

Yes. At least other vocalists are coherant, Alexi sounds like he's literally got something stuck in his throat. If growls and harsh vocals are bad, then Alexi is the worst of the worst.

And why do you guys say that he makes shity power metal.
1- Power Metal is great (rant)

The point wasn't that Power Metal is shitty. The point was that Bodom's contributio to Power Metal is shitty. Shitty (form of) Power Metal. Not shitty Power Metal

2- There is not lot of power metal in CoB, there is some influences of power metal, but its more speedy and blackish than power metal. (not black or speed metal... but surely not power metal)

Considering Power Metal's roots come from Speed, only the Black Metal part is truthful, and even then its based upon the harsh vocals. Theres hardly any other elements of BM in Bodom's music.

I greatly wish you stop calling one of the greatest bands of all time, "gay". How are they homosexual, again?? Honestly. You apparently dont know what "gay" means. If you mean to say that they "suck", perhaps, say they suck, instead of questioning their sexuality. And dont say Kalmah is "lame" either.

Why does everyone hate Kalmah??

what the fuck is up with people bitching about how someone called a band they like gay?
it's an opinion, face it.

PS. CoB and Blind Guardian are pretty gay

Power Metal by default is pretty gay. Doesn't mean it is amazing though (except in Bodom's case of course :P).

You listen to Rammstein and Cannibal Corpse, which are two of the worst shitbags ever brought on world. These guys insult metal with their shity riffs. These guys dont play notes, they make noise and horrible sound.

Having a so extreme and radical opinion about a band is just showing how stereotipical your opinions are. You can say that you dont like CoB for this or for that. But never say that they are gay on all points of viem cause thats totally false. These guys have a great sound.

And I aint just talking to the guy that I quoted. I'm talking to all of you guys.
A band cannot be a 100% bad, face it. These guys have great songs, they use their guitars very well and put all the instruments together to make a whole band.

And btw they dont play flying v, they play Rhodes.

and there is some great stuff that comes from finland, dont be to quick to judge

Wow, that post of your was just some random sarcasm without any intelligent commentaries about anything.

And whats so funny? yeah rammstein is metal (industrial metal it is called) and cannibal corpse just plays though, they try to make themselves look hardcore, and then you say that alexi laiho looks like a little goth girl ??? keep listenning to your freaks in halloween costumes, your on the right way (I aint talking just about CB, but also the other kind of SUPER HEAVY STUFFZZZZ you listen to)

oh... and please tell me why jackson rhodes are supposed to be bad? or you just wrote that cause you couldnt hide that you guys we're all mistaken when you said they play flying v, so you tried to hide it behind some kind of sarcasm and insults against rhodes.

Opinions... its also highly hypocritical of you to insult bands and then defend another band from similar insults, merely cause you like one and not the other.
Although I suppose its okay to turn a blind eye on the good qualities of bands that are 'shitbags'.

A band cannot be a 100% bad, face it. These guys have great songs, they use their guitars very well and put all the instruments together to make a whole band.

Great songs - Opinion. I think their songs are boring.
The latter argument is the exact same thing people say about Trivium. Having talent doesn't make you good. If the songs suck, then the band sucks.

And btw they dont play flying v, they play Rhodes.

Its a variation on the V... its still a V... just a distorted, weird V.

To settle it... you like Bodom. Most of us don't. Its an opinion. Live with it.

At 10/10/06 07:35 PM, HeavenDuff wrote: oh... and please tell me why jackson rhodes are supposed to be bad?

I dunno about the RR's... but Jackson King V's have the most inappropiate jack input ever. Thats annoying.... and if its the case for the RR then, thats one point. Though I've never played an RR plugged in.

Also, you can't get RR's with both 24 frets and a Floyd Rose... that pisses me off. And to Alexi's credit his Signature ESP is great cause of the fact it is an RR with a Floyd and 24 frets. Still it has EMG HZ... they're just plain lolable.
