the Best of Bodom volume 1

[MagSec4]

I fuckin love it.. I just wouldn't put it in an 'introductary CoB album' for someone to get into them..
This isn't a question of how good or not good songs are.. but more of space or number restriction and appropriateness

 

[whatsinaname]

ah why should it be a thing of popularity in the sense that the person will like it so more fans will be gained?

Or i suppose it could be taken as, catch the persons interest, and then let them get used to the better songs.

Honestly though, if they only will listen and get more interested in a band because of catchy tunes, i'd rather them not find out about the band at all. I mean, discover and explore it man, don't just spoon feed it to them. Give them a mix hey?

 

[Cat5Messiah]

some kid i know that listens to basically all punk except dream theater and stuff has been converted to a children of bodom fan by none other than yours truly and another CoB fan [which i also converted]. he asked me to make him a cd with a bunch of CoB songs.

all bodom cds have a certain color, so i went with a lack of color for their "greatest hits".

yeah so, what do you think of that track list and/or the artwork? what would you have added/removed/whatever?

Hey man, what's wrong with Dream Theater? Dream Theater fucking kicks ass.

[whatsinaname]

DT for sure, myung is damn talented

DT for sure, myung is damn talented

Fuck yeah! Petrucci is one of my gods. I've been listen to DT since '92 (Images and Words) and I would say that Petrucci is my main influence. I've been playing (guitar) since about '92, so........

NP: Dream Theater - The Glass Prison

come to think of it, all the members are pretty amazing

I got my drummer (more like ex-drummer because he's been a flake lately) heavely into DT and Portnoy. He seriously has a kit the same size, if not bigger than Portnoy's. You know, when DT first formed, everyone except for Charlie (as far as I know), including Moore, Myung, Petrucci and Portnoy went to the Berkley School of Music. That is probably the best music school you can go to. They are highly educated in music. Then when they fired Charlie and got Kevin (James. James (Labrie) decided to use his middle name (James) instead of his first name (Kevin) so the band would have less confusion, considering there was already two Johns (Petrucci and Myung) rather than two Johns, two Kevins (Labrie and Moore) and one Mike). Then they got Sherinian (Derek) after Moore left. Then, during the side project, Liquid Tension Experiment (Portnoy's project, but decided to use Petrucci because he couldn't see it any other way), they were introduced to Jordan Rudess. After Sherinian left, they recruited Rudess, who they already knew would fit in perfect. Thus, bringing the current and badass lineup of DT. Kevin James Labrie, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess, John Petrucci and John Myung.

This thread meant to be something short and sweet, but I got carried away. Don't blame me, blame the tiredness (4:16 A.M.) and the Whiskey.

NP: Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain

 

[whatsinaname]

"Whiskey"
Well, as you have probably noticed from my rants...i hate alcohol. but yeah it sure helps people speak, to tell you the truth, i'm partially addicted to alcohol, right now actually. fuck i hate it

lostdignity: I don't like ADK that much either.

Dream Theater rules! Just to say that.

And I'd change the tracklist, but that's all just a matter of taste.

I'd change Aces High to the Final Countdown cover but that's just my opinion.

Anyway, it looks good, nice work.

 

[Yetti]

the final countdown wasn't COB, it was either Norther or Dispatched

 

[_Zsuzsa_]

no way. Final Countdown was covered by CoB too. Was it?

 

[Yetti]

nope, sorry ducka

 

[bodomite]

noop final countdown was not covered by cob it was covered by many bands including norther but not cob
