I don't post often, but I felt like putting in my thoughts, regardless. I feel that people take the music they love very seriously, and that's OK. Granted, it can become obsessive, but that's the nature of an art as powerful as music. Tool may have done all or none of those things w/ Lateralus...

Best wishes, Mike. Congradulations, and may both of your lives be filled w/ happiness. Cheers!

I love Shadows Fall. Out of all the new bands coming out, I think they're one of the best, and most promising.

I personally like both Metallica, and Opeth. I guess it's just a matter of taste. I wouldn't go on a message board of a band I didn't like, and insult them, though. I find that kind of behavior to be obnoxious.

Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Mikael Akerfeldt, Geezer Butler(guy wrote amazing lyrics), and Rachmaninov.

Hmmmm? I never knew that not all of them were involved. I may check them out some more. I just didn't want to support violence. Thanks for the info., Enigma Nocturnas. As for the correlation, Diabolical vengeance......you claiming it being hypocritical to like metal and be a christian is false...

My girlfriend likes guys w/ long hair. That's why I grew it!

People are entitled to their personal opinions. Are you telling me that it's my responsibility to dislike someone just because of their opinions? Killing someone, and disliking something are two different things. As far as the antisemitic Jew comment, the song "Black Sabbath" is a warning...

Interesting. I always liked Opeth's lyrics.

Mine are: Orchid-forest of October Morningrise-Nectar/to Bid you farewell MAYH- Demon of the Fall (I've seen it, but I want to see it again!!!!) Still life- The Moor Blackwater Park- The Drapery falls ( again, seen it)...

Yeah. I didn't know i'd be pissing off that many people.

I just posted a new thread. I didn't think the other one would be so........ya know......ugly.
