All opinion. Personally I dare not to compare, to each his own and to me it depends on mood. Write that down.
one day you're saying this the other day you'll say your bands are better than everyone else's bands.

Human nature, write that down.

bah, I listened to a dozen of songs some years ago and never felt the need to hear more. I can give them another chance though, I'll check if I can get some mp3s or something.

Ehn, I mean Im not telling you what to like obviously. Judging by your tastes you probably wont like them, I just think its silly to immediately dismiss a band due to conceptions about images and/or lyrics. mehn.
 
talking about finnish bands, anyone know how Nightwish will survive their booting of Tarja?

They won't, there wasn't really anything to the band other then her... the music is way too generic to hold its own with out an exceptional vocalist and song writing.

I like to cause controversy, and very much enjoy intellectual musical arguements. Call it a character flaw.

yeah but, I give them credit for having the balls to BOOT her out while she was the main reason of their success.

Who knows, if they ask the guitarist to write the songs instead of the keyboardist maybe they'll do something better.

now now you're taking yourself a litttttttttle bit too seriously :cool:
 
btw, I'm considering a name change, but can someone tell me the meaning of : Ass-Mode?

Language barrier prevents me from understanding this expression. It sounds rather gay

Dude, i think the booting of Tarja would be one of the best moves that band has done...shes so generic and her voice is so stale...ugh!
 
I really wouldn't say she was generic seeing she was the pioneer of that style in power metal. Though she was a bitch, so cheers for the boot.
 
hehe I'm listening to Elvenking's first album... so cheesy but yet so fun to listen to. Makes me a happy panda.

aww come on "Emerald Sword" is a pretty kick ass song


Don't forget Eternal Glory!

Sonata is the best Finnish band in my opinion. Swallow the Sun is pretty groovy as well. Kalmah is mediocre with some exceptions (Bitter Metallic Side :kickass: ).

wtf? how can you say kalmah is mediocre? i love sonata arctica...theyre one of my favorite bands from any genre, but kalmah shits all over them. theyre technically much more proficient on their instruments and can write more dynamic stuff.
 
Sonata Arctica sucks. The new Kalmah is actually pretty good and sounds nothing like CoB, unlike the older material which only has a few songs I can get into (like Principle Hero). The new cd has a lot of blastbeats and low death vocals. Woo.
