What the hell is this?

I don't care. But if that bitch wants to get ignorant and start talking shit, than he/she should be bashed on. Ignorance is a big no-no.
 
Hmm... can I just state that I haven't heard Bodom in 2 years, never posted on this board, and am a frequent poster on the Opeth board.. I was just trying to see what you guys over here would think of something like that. I know there's a bit of rivalry between these bands as two of the larger bands in the metal scene these days, wanted to see how you guys held up to a bit of criticism. Frankly, you took it a lot better than the Opeth board would have taken something similar aimed at them. Opeth board is pretty sad these days, but there are still some interesting threads/people/ideas around.

I should download a Bodom album sometime.

Theres always a bit of a rivalry between a band who's fans put them up on some sort of intellectual pedistal (Opeth, Dream Theater, Tool, etc) and...well just about any other band they can think of. Note Im not saying Opeth is bad, I like them, but I think a lot of their fans have their head stuck up their ass over the whole "prog" thing.

Wow....you don't see that very often. Congrats for being a sensible and mature person. Heavy Metal forever :rock:
 
Its not so much the fact that bodom are better, but the fact that Opeth are boring to me. I hear people saying Blackwater Park is one of the greatest cds ever. I think its no where near that!
 
I like them to, but only listen to them when I am in a lazy mood (background music) The songs are sometimes a little to long (and boring) for me. I guess it's a matter of taste. COB NEVER bores me!! :kickass:

Note; Alexander said he likes Opeth.
 
I saw opeth live in march 2003 and the show was boring as fuck so rather than go mad i just sat on the front barrier and watched them play and they are fucking amazing musicians and i love what they do its just not something i would pay to see live again unless i wanted to steal a few guitar riffs :):):)
 
CoB can bore me.....when for three consecutive weeks, everyday, at least 3 hours a day when I listen to an MP3 CD with al albums on shuffle, it can bore me for a day or two. Then I listen to 'My Arms, Your Hearse' which I consider to be a brilliant album by the way (love the Celtic Frost cover!), or QOTSA, Tool, DT, Barathrum, Finntroll, or anything I feel like.....
 
Personally, I think CoB is WAY better. But, that´s personally, as it should be. I you like one band more than the other, you could say that. But there´s no use in trying to explain how much the band you don´t like sucks.... Vindicate is just stupid, but ahh well, the world is filled with stupid people.. Just let them be
 
I don't see why they should be any kind of rivalry between Opeth and "Chob" as they don't have anything to do with each other. And now, I must add...




...that I like Opeth better than chob...






but it's so much cosier here :p
 
It bothers me that the community over here seems so much more mature and accepting... thanks for the positive response, guys (aside from Needled, but his agitation towards Opeth fans is pretty understandable), you've convinced me to dl a Bodom album or two sometime... any recommendations for a place to start?

thats where debates will start. i say sample a bit from each album...and buy what you like. as for my opinion on the opeth vs bodom thing, this board gets alot of shit from others saying that we're a bunch of fanboys etc, but frankly, a lot of us just find it all amusing and/or pathetic (and yes i will generalize for the rest of the board members so piss off guys/gals:grin: )

im glad to know that there are other logical people out there though. its a comforting thought. :p
