Pete Sandoval...

By posers, I mean, like David is so self absorbed and goes on stage with a gay ass shirt with a pentagram on it and thinks hes some sort of "icon"

You guys know how at Metallica concerts James will yell "HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY" before a certain popular song/riff or after a song and make the ending ridiculously long for no reason?... Morbid Angel does this.

Well, Dave is a sort of an icon in Death metal anyway. Before leaving Morbid Angel he was considered one of the best bassist/vocalist and not only by death metal musicians/fans, but also from thrash and black metal (not sure if someone here was there back in the day when Morbid Angel was considered not only a mere death metal band, but also being related to speed, thrash and black metal, at least until Blessed came out).

I remember when some metalheads (very young ones btw) were saying things like 'Dave has been a poser since forever'. He said something like: if I'm such a poser, ask yourself how many extreme metal musicians/bands had said 'thanx' to me on the booklet of their albums, interviews or just in person.

Yep. Vitek and George Kollias are better examples of some of the best DM drummers.

Kollias is something completely different. It's like comparing him to Flo Mounier, Yanic Bercier, Inferno or Asgeir Mickelson, c'mon.

Vitek? the guy couldn't be more robotic. Not a bad drummer but he had absolutely nothing to make him stand out. I guess you need to listen better Altars and Covenant to notice the huge difference in the character of their performances.

Anyway, Pete has been tremendously influential too, just ask Kollias, Yeung, Mounier, Hoglan, Reinert or any death metal (hell, any extreme metal) drummer with relative success.
 
Haters gonna hate.

Actually even though most of those points are spun in a negative way, I am for

1- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS RIGHT TO GO INTO A WOMAN'S WOMB AND KILL HER UNBORN BABY, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.
Woman should have the right to choose.

2- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS RIGHT BEFORE GOD, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.
It´s their ass not mine, have at it if it makes you happy.

3- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT ISRAEL SHOULD GO BACK TO THE 1967 BORDERS THEREBY MAKING THEM MORE VULNERABLE TO MUSLIM ATTACKS, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

The only reason we have protected Isreal this far is so we could have a foothold in the middle east.Nothing more, nothing less. Its all business.

4- IF YOU BELIEVE IN CLASS-WARFARE AS A POLITICAL STRATEGY, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Whether we like it or not class-warfare is a current ongoing issue in america. Those that cant see it are deliberatly turning a blind eye to it. I dont support it but I wont sit back and deny it doesnt exist either.

5- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS PERFECTLY RIGHT TO "BEAR FALSE WITNESS" AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

WTF? Man he really dug deep in his ass for this one.


7- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT AMERICA'S MILITARY STRENGTH SHOULD BE DOWN-GRADED, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I dont think it should be down-graded but I do think they need to stop playing the ¨World Police¨ charade. No one is buying that crock of shiat.

8- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALRIGHT TO KEEP BORROWING MONEY THEREBY LEAVING A HUGE BURDEN FOR OUR CHILDREN AND AND CHILDREN'S CHILDREN, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

This one is kinda laughable. I mean obviously increasing the national debt is the last thing anyone would want but to imply only Obama would do this and another candidate wouldnt is just ludicrous

9- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT "GOD" SHOULD BE LEFT OUT OF OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA.

You got my vote for this one

10- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALRIGHT TO VIOLATE YOUR OWN CONSCIOUS AND THE CLEAR TEACHING OF SCRIPTURE, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA

I dont believe in fairy tales.


Fuck Obama and fuck Romney because at the end of the day no matter who is in the whitehouse they are going to FUCK you.
 
I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how this thread became a discussion about Necrophagist?
 
I think Someguydude was half asleep when he posted and wrote necrophagist instead of Morbid angel.

Dave is still one of my favorite vocalist ever, even now, but like I said he does that stupid shit that Metallica does because their one of most popular DM bands, I haven't even heard CC go "HEY HEY HEY"
 
Seriously, who gives a fuck if a band says "HEY HEY HEY!"?
Me. Its not even really the act of doing it, but the fact that only extremely popular bands ever do it like Metallica and that Morbid Angel hasn't released a good album in 10 years and still think they are on the top line of DM bands...

Hahaha so it's lame because popular bands do it? It's a way to get the crowd going for Satan's sake and underground bands do it as well. I guess Morbid Angel will have to be non-conformists when it comes to stage presence...
