Questions about the Apostle in Triumph and badminton

[Advent1]

Hey guys whats that instrument thats played in the break of the Apostle in Triumph? It sounds sort of like a horn maybe? (about halfway through the song)

also, I read an interview that Mike said in his free time he spends time with family and friends and plays badminton with Per. do you think he's serious? I know hes not always serious and likes to make jokes in interviews haha. Badminton is a very metal sport I must say.

LMFAO, why don't they just stay indoors, or play a real sport

I live in Sweden, and I like badminton too haha

 

[dereliction]

imo, you should have started a seperate thread for badmintn to keep things more organized here.

 

[Opethian666]

I like badminton too. It's funny because some people call the projectile a shuttle cock and don't find that humorous.

So this totally reminded me of a story that I'm sure no one will care about.


This one time in High school Gym class, when we were playing badminton, some girl yelled at this guy in our class to shut up.

So he ran under the badminton net and started attacking her with the raquet. Everyone in the class (including our teacher) just stood there and watched for about five minutes because we didn't really know what the fuck else to do...

badminton is awesome. and not gay at all. seriously.

 

[saut]

I'm pretty sure that the shuttlecock is the fastest moving projectile in any sport (at least when professionals are going at it). That's pretty metal.

 

[daz436]

wow, i always figured it would be like ice hockey or lacrosse or some shit

Wtf is a professional badminton player

Btw, there are plenty faster projectiles such as tennis balls

No. Shuttlecocks (yes I call them that too!) have been recorded moving as fast as 332kmph. That's around 205mph I think. The fastest tennis smash on record is 199mph. I think badminton wins.

I haven't played badminton since junior high. And as for shuttle cock... that's pretty lollerific when all I've ever heard it be called is a birdie.

Not that, I only know one person who plays. The most popular sport here is kickball by far.
