Sometimes i think you just listen to bands that are not-so-liked to be "extreme"
Linkin Park might not be liked much on this particular board but compare their fanbase to COB's.
If you actually turn of the Necrophagist and listen to some bands that have some decent melodies that make you want to sing instead of rape murdered babies, then you'll understand why I like listening to this stuff.
Chester's voice is incredible. Mike's rapping is just annoying.
