Yeah, he was on Testimony of the Ancients with Pestilence and then performed on Unquestionable Presence and wrote and performed material on Elements.

Let’s restart this...I think Varg is a pussy and only got the better of Euronymous because it was a total sissy fight...and I think the skull fragments/brain matter myth is total BS

Euronymous was clearly the genre's biggest talent. Ironic that a scene full of Nazis needed a commie to make it worthwhile.

What would be a good example of Euronymous’ talent? I mean definitely a pivotal figure and ok if he he just stuck to rhythm but his lead work was total ear assault

He's probably talking more about what he did outside of the band stuff with his shop, label, whatever.

Of course the necklace story is played out...I was more angling at the Napoleon Dynamite fight, or if ‘Varg’ even did it- his story seemed pretty rehearsed

Was he not the major songwriter of a lot of Mayhem's earlier material? And yeah, forging the black metal identity was largely his doing as well afaik, even though I don't personally value that.

True on both, but the late 80’s into the 90’s Metal had some serious guitar talent...Euronymous was a horrible guitarist by comparison, I think his leads easily topple C.C. Devilles’ title for worst solo ever. His songwriting style fit the intended outcome but the word ‘talent’ is a stretch. The Black Metal scene was just a different spin on depressed kids similar to a Norwegian version of Cobain followers IMO, and Euro’s image with the band and scene progressed in a Troma-like cheesiness...anyway people tend to think Varg is a badass or something and I’ve come to the opposite opinion in thinking he’s a total pussy -reminds me of a CSI episode where the killer was a weak pussy and it took 20-some hissy fit stabs to kill the guy who was like 5’5”...

All I know is that no one else was writing songs like Freezing Moon in 1990. Varg was in some shit thrash band, Darkthrone was a fairly ordinary death metal band, and while Snorre contributed to the songwriting of DMDS, he wasn't a member of the band yet either.

I’ll give him the pioneering claim...I honestly think they were involved in some fruity shit- I’m guessing Vikernes and Snorre we’re lovers of some sort...who knows what went on but Euro was found in his tighty-whiteys and Snorre was so bugged out he couldn’t talk. I bet Snorre caught Euro and Varg in some lovers trist and killed Euro himself- Varg gets his wish of winning the evil-off...sounds like a crime of passion

If they were all gay for each other, the make up and church burnings totally make a lot more sense...I normally wouldn’t be getting on about something so hammered on already but an argument with a buddy raised the question
