Vote: Royal Carnage 2006 March Madness - Sweet 16

[SonOfNun]

This tournament seems like it's flying by. There also haven't been any tough choices for me and the band choice overall seems a little bland compared to last year, though I suspect it's all in my imagination. Dunno what's going on, but it doesn't have the same as last year. Maybe Ulver vs. Maiden will happen and things will pick up.

People who voted Ulver over Judas Priest are not smart, and that is my objective opinion.

See? As always, crimson spits the truth.

 

[Demilich]

Alright, if we're making stupid, overtly biased statements:

People who vote Priest over Ulver are stuck in the past and are allowing nostalgia to cloud their judgement

 

[General Zod]

I'll let this run till tomorrow morning at 10:00AM, and then I'll add it all up and post the next Elite 8.

Dunno. Half of the Ulver votes come from old-uver nostalgia

 

[Crimson Velvet]

The ONLY reason I ever voted Ulver, is "Bergtatt".

 

[Demilich]

Dunno. Half of the Ulver votes come from of old-uver nostalgia

Doesn't matter to me, I don't even agree with what I said! I love both bands, and I'm not sure either is for nostalgic reasons, 'cause I haven't even owned albums or really heard them much until the past 2 or 3 years

That's pretty funny. I bet our first brackets were quite different, though, but maybe not. Too lazy to check.

I guess I've never stated this outright: I like much of what the RC board likes, except for folk, but I don't dislike it. I just don't care all that much about it. The thing I don't usually do, however, is actively pursue rare or even semi-rare stuff on the Net, so I don't listen to a lot of hard-to-find albums. Hard-to-find meaning records not found in stores or in The End's mailorder shop. I'd rather peruse independent music stores anyway, and that's where I buy my non-promo releases. So there you have it, I guess.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Judas Priest are a fun band, but they never created a work of art. Ulver did that with Bergtatt. Case closed.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Cause y'know, Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class weren't integral to the development of metal as a genre or anything.

 

[Demonspell]

Alright, if we're making stupid, overtly biased statements:

Continued in the same vein:

Living in the fuckin' past, I'm telling you! I'm not denying that they were once ahead of their time, but Priest hasn't done anything relevant in the same period when Ulver has consistently reinvented and challenged themselves (and damn those who disown everything but the first three)...unless inspiring the likes of Primal Fear counts. Nice one, Rob!

[KILL TULLY]

People justifying not voting for Priest = give me a fucking break.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Cause y'know, Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class weren't integral to the development of metal as a genre or anything.

Sure they were. But Ulver makes more challenging, more interesting and better music. If we used your qualifications, why even include bands from the 1990s?
