Cool dude! Nice to finally find some soulmates! I already burned all my COB shirts and CDs back in 2001 when the SHITTY GERMAN POWER METAL BAND Primal Fear let COB open up for them on their European tour, taking them to venues so big they could never even imagine playing. They should've just kept playing in the forests of Northern Finland, netting 3 Finnish markkas (approx. 0,50 eur) per person a gig, so most of the people on this board would've never heard of them, as they had never recorded Hate Crew Deathroll.
EDIT: I also don't really get why people have such a problem with bands they don't like. I really hate Slipknot's music but I don't feel the need to go crying out loud about it. I guess most people judge them for a big part for their fans, like most COB haters do. I still think they're pretty goddamn extreme for a multi platinum selling artist in the US, gotta give them at least some props from that.
lol cheers for that man, well I wouldnt go as far as trashing all the COB merch that I have, I do love the band, I'd say they're one of those bands that are the best to walk the planet, the problem is they're now stooping to a new low, future bodom releases may not be the same, and all those pre teen fans who love slipknot will get involved with cob's work, urgh, makes me sick. Extreme/Scandinavian Metal should NOT be associated with nu metal at all...
