...which one would be superior overall if they were to do battle in a series of competitive events?
NOTE: To fully understand this thread discussion and poll, please see the previously posted "Grow HUGE Viking Beards" Thread here: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/woods-ypres/279419-grow-huge-viking-beards-thread.html ...and if YOU rock a beard yourself, post a picture of it there!
Here are the facts:
Viking DG grows "Viking Beards", he is bigger, stronger, vicious and merciless, without compassion nor understanding but he drinks heavily and sometimes suffers from depression (but he actually enjoys suffering, so it's okay). He lives in the forests of Northern Ontario and his only job and/or responsibilities are the band Woods of Ypres and surviving off the land. His pastimes include writing riffs, reading books, chopping fire wood, reflecting about the past amongst the nature and getting tanked. ...Oh, and reminding people that he is of Finnish descent and how that influences the kind of metal he makes, even though he has always lived in Canada and has never even been to Finland. Also, he has some Finland flags and other Finnish things hung on the indoor walls of his Log Cabin home in the Northern Cold. For transportation, he either hikes, snowshoes or rides a horse (while wearing a black hood, of course). NP: AMORPHIS - "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" or "Amon Amarth" - All.
VS.
Corporate DG shaves his face, he is thinner, faster, optimistic, rational, focused and intelligent, who drinks booze in moderation but plenty of water, takes vitamins, eats healthy food, gets at least 8 hours of sleep a night, has actually learned from his mistakes and is known to outsmart his foes. He lives downtown in the big city, but still somehow has a minimum one hour commute to work each day (2 hours total a day) and works a minimum 40+ hour work week. His pastimes include ironing his clothes, organizing his apartment, going grocery shopping, doing his taxes and worrying about the future. Usually, he's a fuckin' stress case! Oh and he sometimes makes metal when he has time. He understands and accepts that he is Canadian, first and foremost, and doesn't really have much of a real connection to his Finnish heritage, and that it would be kind of silly if the fact that his Grandparents came from Finland should influence the style or content of the metal he makes (though he loved his Grandparents very much!). And he doesn't have any Finnish flags hanging in his apartment or anything like that, but he does have calendars to remind him of all the shit he has to do. NP: COVENANT - "SkyShaper" or maybe ULVER - "Blood Inside"
(I could go on adding things, but I have to end this post somewhere...feel free to contribute some descriptive attributes of your own.)
The twist: Based on the facts we have (these photos) and surprisingly contrary to what most people would expect, Viking DG wears a shirt, while Corporate DG does not...Strange.
Please discuss.
