Trying to use my statement against me in an irrelevant way.
And I'm sure you could think of more examples of this fanboy behaviour without even trying.NineFeetUnderground said:the only similarity i can see between opeth and killswitch is that both of their fanbases are extremely fanboyish and ignorant to a fault.
Oinkness said:Killswitch did start the whole metalcore movement, and influenced the groups Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, all that remains, unearth, god forbid, etc... I don't like them all, but the statement I made about KsE being the innovators was true.

I meant the similarities you described between Opeth and KsE are the same as Tool fans or Metallica fans etc.NineFeetUnderground said:i frankly dont have any idea what your point was with this post. please dont be weird.

Take a band like Green Day (non-metal example). When they came out in the late-80's and no one had heard of them, they were about as punk and raw as anything out there. Now look where they are - in MTV's pockets. Everything they do now is crap and the public is lapping up and begging for more.
Oinkness said:Go ahead, flame me. But the guitarists are better at what they do, and their vocalist is great too, and could sing circles around Mike. Unlike Opeth, they can play music over 70 BPM.... they can play fast-paced stuff, and slow mellow stuff. In that way, they are similar to Opeth.
They've also got a completely different attitude than Opeth.... they're not disrespectful and negative, nor have huge egos.
Furthermore, who would compare Killswitch to maiden or priest?
KsE is obviously a lot better than both today.
