In Flames

[Doomsinger]

but at least they didn't cheat like kiss on their live cds dubbing studio recording onto the live material

Yeah, that sucks(dubbing "live" albums)...

I never did like In Flames, seemed like it had already been done way to many times.

How so?

In Flames has not been done done way to many times. They are very unique for a metal band and I have yet to hear anything like them still. Origionality was one of the reasons why they were big.

Band like At the Gates and Carcass may have begun the whole melo death sound, but it wasn't until the likes of In Flames and Dark Tranquillity that the melody side of it really became massivley important. On their middle three album inparticular In Flames took that whole idea to a new level, although there early output hints toward it with the likes of December Flower. I don't really think you can say the weren't original.

I actually hadn't heard the sound before. I simply did not like the sound. Major snooze fest. The other bands mentioned as well.

Other than the 300 metalcore bands that copied their sound.

Slighty harsh, but you have to say he has a point.

I don't really now, it just sounded so generic to me.

Nothing to do with Inflames, sorry. Try again? Classically based power metal versus melo-death wankery? Please.

You seem to enjoy Nightwish but you find In Flames to be boring. Strange...

Edit: In Flames =/= wankery

lol @ "classically based power metal." maybe classical in the very loosest sense of the word, but even thats an overstatement.

Moonshield owns me..

how is in flames melodeath wankery? theres maybe 4 or 5 real solos in their entire discography and one of them wasn't even played by their guitarists

That goes more to the point of it being wankery than not. I didn't say fretboard wankery. As a guitarist I am usually entertained by fretboard wankery as long it's not endless pointless jam session forever only semi-good at it Van Halen loser shit.

As for being classically based in a loose sense, er yes.....that's a lot of power metal, but classically trained musicians beat out melodeath retards who most likely can't read music.

 

[illidurit]

all power metal is despicable, shoot yourself

 

[Vacant_Planets]

Opeth is despicable, shoot yourself

Well since I'm not a fan I'll pass.

 

[illidurit]

why are you on this forum again

 

[Prognostic]

i can think one or two good, classically trained musicians in the metal genre. nightwish's members arent one of them
