Hello there
Sorry, but that is a pretty ridiculous fucking thing for Candlemass "fans" to be chanting.

I disagree. Messiah was an incredible singer and recorded three classic records with Candlemass, but his poor attitude got him kicked out of the band not once, but twice. Messiah Marcolin is a pretty tough act to follow, but Robert Lowe has done such an awesome job with Candlemass that it's pretty tough to miss Messiah and his bullshit. Half of their set consisted of songs originally recorded with Messiah- including Samarithan, which I feel fit his voice perfectly- and Lowe nailed them all.
I don't think anyone was chanting that out of disdain for Messiah. Everyone was just amazed at what an amazing job Robert Lowe has done replacing him. I still love Messiah's singing on the four albums he did... but now I'd really love to hear some studio recordings of Lowe singing some of them.

Hello there
Well, it's really disrespectful and I don't think the fans had any reason to do it. Regardless of whatever problems Messiah had, it didn't affect the fans or anyone outside the band. So for them to chant "messiah sucks," which is wrong on every level regardless, is just stupid.
I'm glad they picked up a vocalist who can sing his songs.

I saw Dillinger Escape Plan last Friday night for the second time and I can safely say they are the most intense live band I've ever seen.

It changed the band, so I'd say that could easily have an effect on the fans. Look at Iron Maiden with Blaze. The difference in this case is that the new guy is great, so no one misses the old the guy.
Messiah was not the reason those albums were good.

I should probably pick up their new album and check out how Lowe does on it. I'm not a huge fan of him on the SA albums (I don't know why either, maybe not enough digesting of the music on my part), but maybe I'll dig him with the Candlemass style riffing..

Went to Paganfest in Raleigh; as it was my first concert, I did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. My leg was not, though, as even after about 36hr it is still sore from the few times it was rammed against the stage as a result of an outbreak of moshers. Either way, I was almost front and centre and was even at the very front, allowing for great pictures and got to shake hands (or high-five or something like that) with someone from Eluveitie, Tyr, and Turisas.

No doubt he was. However, my point is that his replacement is more than capable, so it's not like they've lost anything in the singing department. Just in the selfish pain-in-the-ass department.
