I simply can not get into Dimmu Borgir.
I have tried a couple of times, and seen them live once too.
They have never clicked with me.
I only heard one Old Man's Chili track on a comp a while back.
It was quite decent from what I recall, tho I am no expert when it comes to this genre
Old Man's Child Go to their myspace if you have the time. Listen to Enslaved and Condemned. Pretty good for Galder doing everything except the session drummer Reno Killerich

I just want to go on record (about twenty posts too late) and mention that I think Dark Tranquillity is the best live band in their genre. I wasn't too into their stuff -- I thought it was all pretty much cookie-cutter In Flames/ATG-ish metal -- until I saw them live for the first time. Now I'm addicted.
By the way... the show where I first saw them was at the Vic, supporting Nile and Napalm Death. This was the best death/grind related show I have ever seen... Strapping Young Lad played too. I'm sure some of you were there. \m/

I've been a DT fan since "Projector". About the same time, I caught on to In Flames. I've always preferred DT. However, after seeing them both, several time, I don't even think it's a fair comparison. Say what you will about how they've sold out, In Flames is without question, one of the great live bands.

I agree with In Flames being a great live band, but I will say that I think Mikael Stanne is a better frontman than Ander(z) Friden. I've never seen Stanne fail to deliver the goods in terms of both energy & focus as well as having the ability to keep the crowd involved. Simply a great frontman.

I have always found it easier to convey (and prevent misunderstanding) what I am saying through the smilies in a forum environment. I'm grateful for the emoticons when they are available!

Though I do like Dimmu (NOT all of it by any means) I really am impressed with OMC. I wish Galder would do more with them. Wishful thinking with a new Dimmu album coming out (which I hear is pretty good).

I was at this show as well, though it wasn't my first time for DT.
It was an amazing package...and I even got to eat with Gene Hoglan and Devin Townsend at the old Muskie's on the corner. THAT was a trip. Gene was one of the nicest people I ever met.

I met Gene briefly here in Cleveland, before a SYL show.
Yep, and Devin isn't nearly as psycho as he pretends to be on stage.

True enough, but isn't he just the touring drummer? Doesn't make up for the fact that the last several years of Korn albums have been sub-par, IMO.
