This is what I'm feeling right now.

:zombie: uke: :danceboy:

Come on! I have no problem with Opeth getting bigger, but fucking Hot Topic? That's where all the emo/goth fags in my town hang out... and comparing Opeth to Slipknot seriously makes me want to cut my wrist. I'm not saying Opeth is selling out, I'm saying they're selling out to the WRONG FUCKING PLACE. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD, NOT THE FUCKING WARS!!!!!

Why does every good metal band get thrown under the same category as "goth" and "punk emo," it seriously makes me want to kill children.

kid...thats not real. ugh

edit: i weep for the future.

 

[illidurit]

rofl who made that picture again

 

[Pethical]

that picture is awesome

 

[BurningSky]

a. its hilarious that you think that's real. b. its hilarious that you think that a band is more important than war (though im sure you were exaggerating, i still cant believe you even bothered exaggerating about something so stupid)

 

[winters epilogue]

Oh man, that picture brings back memories (oh, you know...of last year). Good times, nonetheless.

 

[ToMnEt]

It's a fake, not a real pub (since ..hum one year, at the Ghost Reverie's release)

 

[Nichtsicher]

Can someone explain to me what Hot Topic is? Is it like a department store like kmart or something like that?

 

[hibernal_dream]

Funny pic. It looks like they're sitting in the middle of a high school.

Its just a store that pretends they are anti-corporate and "metal" but 99% of their merchandise is from "nu-metal" bands. Its where all those Slipknot and System of a Down fans with huge cargo pants and stupid hair cuts and fake spike bracelets and necklaces who pretend they're political shop.

there are people who go in there solely for the nightmare before christmas and corpse bride etc merch though...peopel other than the typical hot topic kid.

nuff said.

 

[Heckelgruber]

^ That explains it a bit, I can't think of a close European equivalent...

 

[batastrophe]

The whole hot topic thing seems to be fading. I don't see nearly as many kids with huge bondage pants and slipknot hoodies on as I did like 4 years ago.

I dunno if it's a chain but Underground Clothing (or something like that) in the Bargate in Southampton is pretty much the same as it.

 

[Led Opeth]

its funny because, hottopic actually has opeth shit, and all the poser kids go and buy the chronology shirts

Future typical Opeth fan:

But I dunno, I wouldn't mind more Opeth fans who look like this

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

Seriosuly I dont get it. Just cause Opeth is on roadrunner doesent mean their selling out. I liked Ghost Reveries. Joke or not it is NOT cool and it should be illegal to say Opeth is on the same route as Slipknot.

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

Those are the gayest pics i have ever.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

hahaha, someone on here did that didn't they?

Also, just watched the Ghost Reveries DVD, and in the credits at the end it says 'Martin "Bass Player" Mendez' - another joke that started on this forum. Brilliant.
