One day you'll be in the area where I am at when Vortex is mentioned, and no shield will protect you.
I look forward to seeing you at Heathen Crusade III.
Probably.

Edit: This was to that heartless douche but my sentiments regarding Arcturus in the first place are finely expressed in this sentence anyway:
Depends who's singing it. If it's that faggot vortex, fuck that. Otherwise, great.
Edit: And Demon Painter, obviously, is that faggot.
Heartless, get out your Vortex-Flame Shield. Eric can't get past the shield, no matter how hard he tries.
Win.

you goin?
Nice try. Better men have tried and failed at trying to offend me, if you like Garm better than Vortex, fine. I like cake better than crackers. But from an outside the land of opinion standpoint, Simen beats Garm for one simple reason. He can sing live, very well in fact. Garm refuses to sing live, quoting some other bullshit that is just trying to hide the fact that he knows he couldn't pull it off. Brilliant studio musician, but he knows he can't do his job live well, fuck they even brought in a guy on an Arcturus tour to sing for him and he was a lot better imo. I like Garm, but in both Borknagar and Arcturus, I feel Simen is superior. I have no desire to make you change your opinion but at least admit to me Garm is a pussy, even Vintersorg has enough balls to ATTEMPT to sing his stuff live, it can get pretty shit but at least he tries.

Cool. Lets find a comic store in St Paul to randomly run into each other in.

The only video I have seen of Garm singing was an old Ulver track and it was GOD FUCKING AWFUL. Garm refuses to sing live, quoting some other bullshit that is just trying to hide the fact that he knows he couldn't pull it off, both his singing and growling.

I don't really care about simen vs garm, so you really wasted a lot of typing time... I just fucking hate simen's voice. Sounds like someone trying out for an opera while a dick is shoved down their throat.
Also, TC Helicon is Simen's best friend. Just thought you should know.
Maybe so, but I've met and hung out with the man backstage, I've heard his voice and heard him sing drunkenly over a few beers. He sound pretty much the same, that in itself proves he is a great singer to me. And to be honest, I really prefer his voice on live recording anyways, too much electronic shit is added to the studio recordings.
I think Warrel Dane is an awful singer
No no no. Warrel Dane is an amazing singer accompanied by a shitty songwriter.
