    What do you think of Blind Guardian?

    they are good, one of the only few power metal bands who I wouldnt call cheesy. I have the most respect for them and Iced Earth in the genre.

    You have bad taste in music!

    ehh, he seems kinda lame, doesnt really make good arguments. Also, never offers what 'good music' is. I just think its funny how riled up the crowd gets, but you could rile up the crowd that way at any concert.

    Slipknot and French Festivals..

    i must say, you guys are pretty awesome. I will say that I think Slipknot's music is overrated and followed by the mallcore crowd trying to be hardcore. However, I wouldnt throw stuff at a band, no matter how humorous it is to do, just because they really dont deserve it. Yelling stuff is one...

    Blind Guardian

    considering NIME is a concept album of the Silmarillion, I dont mind there being spoken parts in there, plus their spoken parts are a lot better than Rhapsody's spoken parts. They are a really amazing band and write good instrumental parts.

    Dream Theater or Symphony X

    id take Russel Allen over LaBrie's vocals, though both are average. However, the talent of Dream Theater's members can blow away Symphony X's, Michael Romeo is prolly as good as Petrucci, but the rest arent in comparison. Dream Theater, though lately is just seeming to make pointless albums to...

    Do bands have controll over their music?

    im sure if the band actually publishes a cover on an album, they have to cite the original(obviously) and they prolly do have to ask permission or pay the band or label or something, but I dont think the band is involved, especially since many classic songs from the 50s are being covered though...

    Swedish Metal

    ehh, nothing wrong with In Flames til like 4 years ago. Blind Guardian, soo awesome, and Opeth is pretty good also, though im not much a fan of their newer stuff with clean vocals.

    Where do you hear of bands?.

    i hear of a band, takes me a few months to go and download some songs. Sorry, I just dont have money to buy cds, only buy cds of bands I really like or if they are cheap enough. I usually hear of bands from word of mouth, seeing the band name on some website, used to find songs and bands from...

    Metal Fashion Vs. Rap Fashion

    i havent worn a pair of jeans in almost 3 years now, just seem to wear khakis. If I had black pants, id wear them. I like black shirts, but also still like to look nice, like a black button down shirt or something. I have two non-black button down shirts that just look different, so I like...

    Why Dont Metal Bands Sing in their Native Tongues?

    well, not sure of death metal groups, but some bands still have a few songs in their native language, like I know Blind Guardian and Kamelot do, also Dimmu Borgir? not sure there. Didnt Immortal have a lot of non-English albums initially? I coulda sworn their early albums were different.

    Stupidest comments made towards metal by non-metal fans.
