I don´t have that MG-album

But I know that it has a quite high score for most fans. And I also heard that it is very different from the new one, of course new one being "commercial" which I find stupid. It is very diverse and deep; I like it.
I find that whole "commercial" thing quite comical.
I mean, they (the tr00 and gr1m bm fans) would die to avoid becoming mainstream, because mainstream are for people who can´t think for themselves and so on. still, you can´t do
anything that is not conventional (i.e what the first bands did) ´cause then you´re sell out. it seems to have summed up to that you can´t do anything new or experimental because then you´re not special any more.
not to mention those terrible bands that don´t mind selling lots of records and being able to make a living as musicians. heretics!

:Smug:

*LOOOL* yeah, exactly that one

Teh horror-question. Or "how would you describe your music?" - that is a typical question from people who haven´t listened before and made their own thoughts. Uhm. (though this question is probably more nicely meant than it sounds to me)
About Ville Valo: well, they weren´t teenage idols from the beginning

I guess many people are just envious, though they put the spotlight on finnish bands in general. Of course that had the bad side effect that now almost every band was compared to them, no matter if it made sense or not
and yeah, they should be allowed being in bad mood, too, just as everyone else! And we can´t know the reason for it; just people should remember they are humans, too. And ask themselves how they would react
yeah, that question in that form is just... well... entirely pointless. and often it only leads to confusing the readers since, quite coincidentically (oh my, that
can´t be correct english), most bands have something
so special that it absolutely requires a genre name of its own...
oh, another phenomenon there, the "this band is the new HIM/nightwish/etc.". probably more or less a commercial strategy (when it comes from record companies), and otherwise people just not being able to use their imagination.

But if the music is the product of the persons, then it is obvious you must see the persons, too; at least in art (for sure I don ´t care who baked the bread..) For me, these things are related
in a way I can agree it´s related, but it´s complicated however you twist and turn it. I listen to a lot of bands I know very little or nothing about, and it would feel quite silly to suddenly start disliking their music just because I find out some uncomfortable fact about the band members... haven´t had any of those situations, though, so I don´t know how I actually would react. but at the other hand, I don´t enjoy for example "white power" music, even though I listen to some punk that´s not too far away (well, a bit, but still...)
musically speaking. and then there´s of course the possibility that you would think just
someone in a band is an idiot. and... and... and...
