[Clarky]

i cant go

 

[Winmar]

Neither can I. I don't listen to them, but I'd be there if I was in Melbourne.

Hobbs Angel of Death! Well I suppose that's a pretty appropriate support act. After all, Mayhem's legend is bigger than the band itself, and so is Hobbs'. Good to see Pete back at it though.

You obviously haven't seen them live, then.

Have you ever thought that one of the reasons a band is predominant in musical circles is because they're actually an incredible and tight band, with amazing stage presence?

The legend isn't at all bigger than the band. Having seen them live, I can completely understand why they are so popular.

No I haven't seen them live. And what I said wasn't meant to be taken in a bad way. Mayhem is a band that is overshadowed by their own legend: the quest to be the most evil, suicides, murders, paganism... it overshadows their actual achievements is what I meant.

I know most people who aren't into Mayhem's music only know of them through the controversies, but for the fans these controversies actually go hand in hand with the musical achievements. The band is absolutely more than the sum of its musical parts, because like all good black metal, it's as much a philosophy as a musical genre. But I was just saying that I know why they're big. There actually is substance to them...

Plus I think seeing them at the instore helped to understand them better. They're actually pretty fucking full on (obviously) and it was good to have my ideas and perceptions solidified into reality. It was basically a pretty awesome experience!
