Moonsorrow

NFU, you need to just stfu. I'm sorry if Moonsorrow bores you, but they are not just another cliche aggressive band. I'm sorry that you can't hear them for what they are, but they are vastly superior to 90 something percent of metal. And yes, there is more music out there than Swedish/Finnish/Melodic Death and Black Metal. Why are you assuming this is all we listen to? Hell, you know that's not true; I listen to Korn for example! I'm not trying to convince your stupid ass anymore, just don't make assumptions about the rest of us and don't try to pass of your opinion as fact. And to say we are ignorant for liking Moonsorrow? Get off your fucking high horse, man.

Okay you should have explained it like that in the first place ;)

So is every band you listen to completely unique in their genre?

of course not. but i choose not to listen to generic metal. it offers a lot less to me than standard music from other genres often does. however i dont listen to any boring or generic stuff that i can really think of anyway, so its a non-issue.
 
I guess we just have a slight different idea of "generic." I think Moonsorrow offer something that most similar bands don't. Of course they're not unique but I think they pull it off better than others. I really don't listen to much of that viking stuff so I guess they're kinda the one band I really picked out from it.
 
I can tell standard/generic from special/unique/whatever, its just that I don't automatically toss a band aside cause they're not unique. If its pleasing to my ears, then I'm happy with it, even if something similar has been done before. I mean don't you think of lot of old prog bands sound the same? Maybe its because I'm pretty new to that type of music but several of the bands I've checked out have so many of the same moments in various songs, a lot of the lyrics seem to deal with similar subject matter, and half of the vocalists sound almost the same. Agree to disagree? :kickass:
 
a lot of prog is just genesis/yes/crimson worship, so yeah
 
Could you kiddies please stop taking everything NF says so seriosuly. Take it with a pinch of salt, he's really not so much of an arsehole as he like to have us believe.

N.B. It's a for-um, not real life, numbers and letters of an internet page, it means nothing. So don't get so narced off about it.

But thats the whole fun of it :cool:
 
Why else would I visit these forums? If NFU was constantly ruining my day I wouldn't be posting here all the time ^_^ I actually value his judgement a lot of the time too, as hes a smart guy, whether we agree on things or not.
 
I don't know where you're getting that he's a smart guy. He's obviously an asshat who attacked me for no reason when I was only trying to share a band I really like.
 
I have checked out this band. I can't get over the cheesiness, and the lame folk relishes. Alot of better bands I would rather listen too. Not a great name for a band btw.
