Rescue D.T.....again

@zeanra: i think katatonia is the best band listed just after dt, so i kinda feel your pain. ;)
however, i am willing to sacrifice my aged grandmother to save my favourite band from an untimely death. :)
but... who do we vote next time around?

rahvin.
 
I decided to go to audiogalaxy and download three (3) most popular songs from all the bands I'm not familiar with. Then I'll know which of them to vote off. And I've got nothing else to do either.. And this Gates Of Ishtar album I bought today rocks \m/
 
Holy Shit :cry: now i have to decide between Dt and Katatonia :cry: it is definitely not fair to vote off Katatonia..but since i am pissed-off with the Opethboardian anti-Dt fanaticism I'll help in ruining their childish plans a bit :D
aaaaah,i like being mean from time to time :devil:
 
|ngenius@ Unfortunately I've never had this luxury... :( it was and still is one of my dreams.... I understand why you are saying this though..if we see it strictly and technically Katatonia aren't really an awesome band....i wouldn't say untalented,but i have to admit that i've heard better composition...yet I can't see this band objectively,since i am somehow connected to the their music for emotional reasons.
 
well but the gig was sooooo boring....blackheim just would do the same movement for 45 minutes....incredibly boring....especially considering afterwards came Opeth :gring:

but voted Katatonia to preserve DT on the row....
who will we vote off next round.....I suppose Diabolical...but I'm starting to have the feeling DT's off within the next 3 rounds :cry:
 
my take is that there are 'live' bands and 'studio' bands. i never doubted for a m,inute katatonia would belong to the latter. their music leans towards boredom most of the times, and yet their trademark guitar sound and emotional approach sets them apart from acts like arcturus and diabolical masquerade, for instance.
besides, i always found my dying bride and anathema to be far more sleep-inducing than honest rockers katatonia.

well to me anathema in some albums really reach perfection transmiting sadness and depressive feelings.
as for bands, there are three rahvin, the 'live' bands, the 'studio' bands and the 'live&studio' bands, such as Dream Theater, and lately Dark Tranquillity is on that list aswell :D

@fathervic: granted about the three kinds of bands (although you know i think dream theater are really a very non-live&non-studio band ;) ). but as for anathema... hmmm... at best 2 or 3 songs on each album seem worthwhile after all.
surely the others impress on me sadness and depression. :D

rahvin.
 
@Mel: I didn't despise Katatonia for technical reasons, even neither for the composition that's far away of my cup of tea. The fact I don't like Katatonia as a band doesn't means Katatonia are an untalented band. In fact, I think the variety of colours should exist to satisfy the "taste" of the nice greek maidens. I only talked about the live show of Katatonia, that can improve without difficulty.

Rahvin demonstrates that the personal opinion changes easily: |ngenius "the nasty robot" and FatherVic "the catalan useless Melon" are pretty sure Dream Theater can do wonderful live shows 'cos they enjoyed with them before. On the other hand, Rahvin doesn't like Dream Theater even in album!!!! That's the reason there aren't "bands for studio" or "bands to hang around to meet girls" or whatever. Remember that often, punk rock bands make actually funny gigs, and they don't know exactly if a common bass has three or four strings. ;)


|ngenius (who live and let live)
 
@FatherVic: you forgot about a fourth kind of band, the "shut up and split cause your side projects are better than the band" bands, and Dream Theater are proud representatives of this kind :p
 
all DT's but Dark Throne rulz...it's a major fact...I can't make the rule change dudes...so Dream Theater is chupi.... :loco:
now as for projects, well I love LTE for sure, but I still like much more DT better than any of their side projects...
 
"all DT's but Dark Throne rulz" Goddamn death metal trendie!

No point in the poll anymore, now that there is so much cheating... 200 votes in 24h.
 
12th round HERE

Now you have to write a post to show who you vote off. Hope you ain't too lazy. DT is losing at the moment......

Right now it's smt like DT - 19, Vintersorg - 16, Diabolical Masquerade - 14.

Vintersorg doesn't deserve out so early either, but it's the closest one...... The choice is yours...

Now DON'T BE LAZY! :D and plz be fast, cause we don't have much time :rolleyes: :p
