What first point?Gums said:Right, but that was your second point, I was responding to your first point.
I don’t mind those for three reasons. First (and assuming you mean the female vocals DT have put into some songs), i love how the female vocals multiply the beauty of the songs they’re in (for example, “Undo control” is just average live, because Stanne does all vocals, as opposed to the album version). Second, it’s still your song, it’s just someone else helping you perform it. Third, Anders (and if not Anders then someone else in In Flames) could have written the lyrics to those songs, but Mikael can’t do female vocals (obviously), so the guest singer is necessary.Gums said:What about guest vocals?
Alright, maybe it does. Sorry for that.Gums said:How do you know this doesn't amuse me?
Intellect has little to nothing to do with one’s field of study. So i think it’s reasonable that i didn’t figure it out. Anyway, if i thought my intellect is superior to yours it was because you had proven thus, and not otherwise, with your posts on this thread.Gums said:Because you think your intellect is superior to mine, and I was comparing our fields of study. Surely you could've figured that out if you thought about it for a sec. In fact, I used to be a biochemistry major, so I'm doubting our level of intellect differs as much as you think it does.
Apology accepted. And i apologize for all the intellect thing. My intention wasn’t to appear as holier-than-thou, it was only to make my point (as always). In Flames fans are the same as any other band’s fans, not less. It sucks that they’ve treated you like less because of a band you like. I guess it’s understandable that too much pressure might have built up inside of you and you had to explode sooner or later. I know how that feels. Peace?Gums said:Anyways, you are right - I shouldn't have jumped all over you like I did. For that I apologize. The reason I got pissed was because you came across as very holier-than-thou with some of your posts, which is quite a contrast to the person I've found you to be at the DT forums. Normally this wouldn't bother me much, but I've been part of the In Flames community for a long time, and people have always tended to treat In Flames fans as somehow less than other fans. It sucks. And although In Flames boards to tend to get messy (like this one), I don't find it fair when people come in and treat fellow metal fans like dogs without even making an attempt to help the place improve. I realize that this may not have been what you were doing, but lots of people do, so once in a while I get a little overly defensive. In this case it was a mistake, I think.
