You know what I'm sick and tired of? People like you. I am a fanboy in the sense that I love every cd they've made, and will defend Jesper with tooth and nail. To say you haven't heard bashing is to say you sit in a dark room with your hands over your ears and eyes. I am sick of the argument of...

Hate to say it, but I don't know of any band I would compare to Opeth. Darker metal bands, like early Cradle of Filth which I felt had some progression. I would say check out Pain of Salvation, as they are a little darker as well, though not too extremely dark.

I think Octavarium is pretty badass. Indeed some of the riffs are simplistic, the downtuning is pretty apparent, and probably used just to make the simple riffs sound cool. So? The key there is it sounds cool. Maybe they got to rehearsal and someone started this simple riff, and everyone could...

Demiurge, envision something for me. Envision a starving child in a festering jungle ravaged by disease, despair, and an air of hostility and pain. See him, see his skeletal body, his gaunt face, and his pleading eyes that hold more experience on the "darker" side of life than you or I or anyone...

Suicide is an exercise in misinformation for those who consider themselves trampled upon by circumstance. It is an act of supposedly leaving pain for an unknown future that may in itself contain more. They walk blindly into a situation because they think they have a strong enough grasp on what's...

Peter Gabriel- So and Car. Joe Satriani- Surfing with the Alien Steve Vai- Passion and Warfare Jordan Rudess- Rhythm of Time John Petrucci- Suspended Animation James LaBrie- Mullmuzzler and Elements of Persuasion John Lennon- Double Fantasy

The Beatles- Rubber Soul Dream Theater- Awake and A Change of Seasons( no one mentions ACoS, that makes me a saaaad panda.) Spock's Beard- Snow In Flames- Clayman Opeth- Blackwater Park Peter Gabriel- So Meshuggah- Destroy, Erase, Improve Liquid Tension Experiment- First one Blind Guardian-...

I see many do not agree with my opinion of Dream Theater being the best prog band, but I feel it is unfair. I realize I too was unfair to fans of Crimson and Floyd, and I apologize. The fact is, I've looked more deeply into both bands and find little negative things to say, but my opinion is...

King Crimson's debut cd was released two years after Floyd's debut, so I'm afraid that is incorrect.

I thought they sounded great. I think Roger Waters' vocals in Wish You Were Here lacked, but Comfortably Numb is one my favs by them and they did it beautifully. Gilmour will never lose whatever it is he has that makes his playing so special. I am just coming into Floyd's music on a large scale...

Ok, so argue against it. I apologize if I've offended if you simply don't like STYE, I truly didn't mean to. This thread's topic was if Anders should be kicked out, which I find absurd. I personally like all In Flames, but I have been led to believe that their decisions are group decisions, so...

Your supposed facts are opinions, and I'll thank you to not demean mine. Pet Sounds was indeed a terriffic album, but the impact the Beach Boys made on culture in general will never equal the awesome power of the Beatles, and neither will anything else. I don't understand how you can possibly...

It is un-surprising ot me that you would say Pink Floyd. As for your synapsis that Dream Theater is the worst for their unoriginality, I would call you a hypocrite. Every band in the world rips off some other band. If you are inspired by something, then obviously your sound will resemble that...

FUCKING THANK YOU!!!! Leave the fucking guy alone! His lyrics still kick ass and he has been a huge part in the development of In Flames. I dare you to go start a band, and keep making the same exact cd over and over again. Don't change it up, don't try new things, don't write new songs, just...

This statement makes little sense to me. The only understandable aspect of chaos is its unreadable nature. Many say they wish for chaos, or that they admire it for specific reasons, which betrays its nature as chaos. No definition, just chaos. Its beauty must be an acquired taste, for if applied...
