Can someone tell me exactly WHY Conception rules? Admittedly, I am a power and melodic fan, but that being said I have enjoyed past performances from Superior, Balance of Power, and Evergrey.
What I saw:
A vocalist who, in the metal field, is generic and quite boring at best. Are you guys really telling me that this is a vocal "legend"?? And please don't say "emotion". He's as dry as an 11 year old twat.
They have a shit-hot guitar player. Given. But there are other bands with that.
They've had 3 or 4 cds that few people bought. Sales don't dictate "legend".
Drumming was average.
Bass was average and performance less than average.
Song selection was not very memorable or captivating for non-fans.
They're not even top bill in Europe, the motherland. My buddy from Germany was sending me conception cds that he picked up for less than 3 Euro back in the day.
What is the deal?
Look, I'm not intending to slag on the fans here or the band itself, but I'm sort of confused (and tired) of this worship. Be a fan. Fine. Be a HUGE fan. But use the term "legendary" sparingly (see also: "godly", "incredible" et. al)
I'm happy you all got to see the band you've wanted to see and I like obscure stuff too. Kreyson, Scanner, Heaven's Gate, whatever. But if they reformed or played at PPVII, I'd not use the worship terms in a public forum that I'm seeing here. I'd realize that "hey, I just saw a band that I've idolized and worshiped" but at the same time I'd also think twice before using some wacky term to frame their show in front of other fans. "Dude, the Heavy Pettin' show was legendary in every way". Um...no, I wouldn't do that.
What gives?
