russel shut up you are a dick head. i was talking to mick about this forum last night and i'll tell you what ... there are so many "comment vultures" here that just jump on everything you say with total anal university educated seriousness. you fucking fuckwits. fuck off.

:lol: I don't actually do it that much (nowhere near as much as I used to), just when a comment really pisses me off, which yours did... Infact I've only ever done it twice on this forum, and both times ahve been towards you :p

And I don't have a university education :D So ner...

It's Russell ;)

if we ever meet eachother then you will find me to be quite different to what you imagined. mehdi thought i was gonna be a right twat but we got on like a house on fire. i am sick of the seriousness in this forum though.

I don't have any preconceptions, I prefer not to judge people over the internet untill I've heard a lot more of what they have to say than I've heard you say... I'm sure meeting you would be an interesting experience, not only for me :p

and for the record, i honestly think 80-90% of all the modern metal in the european scene is shite. i've only ever heard a couple of bands playing tuneful stuff that can be considered to have the same degree of talent and say, bjork or nick drake. and MDB or moonspell were not one of them.

:lol: As I said, I may agree with you, I just like arguing, which is what discussion forums are for... if it makes either you or me think about what we're saying (which in this case it doesn't appear to have) then, IMO it's worth it...

ok. looks like i have to end all posts like this otherwise i might offend some poor over-sensitive metal head (who might listen to depressive stuff -godly!) but wouldnt know real depression if it came up and bit him.

That's the first time I've ever been called a metalhead... In reality I listen to a lot mroe non metal than metal - only about 20% of my cds are metal.

What confuses me is the fact you think metal is depressing? I find non metal such as Reamon, Tori Amos, The Cure, This Mortal Coil far more depressing than I've ever found a metal song...

Feel free not to post stuff like that, but if you do and I don't agree don't expect me not to argue... Actually do, it appears you're not one of the people who like standing up for what they say, so in the future I won't bother. Just next time someone argues with you on the internet, remember it's not personal and don't be so easily offended...

Oh, and I'd like to point out it's you opinion I'm arguing with so you don't need to state it's your opinion after every post, I think I've worked that one out ;)

Danny in his 1st message just expressed what i'm feeling these days when i read the boards. what's with these overrated metal bands who don't stand a chance against any real music?

and if i understand him correctly, it's not about genres or periods, it's about being open to all music, and listening to the best stuff. if some metal fits in with the best stuff, let it be metal. just lose the teenage t-shirt ideology part of it.

Yeah, I know what Dannys on about. Also, this is an Anathema forum and I'm pretty sure that non of Anathema follow the gothic metal death-doom-melodic scene nowadays. So he was just talking about the stuff that is relevant to him and the band. Easy enough eh?

I'm sure most people knew that Danny wasn't being malicious about metal listeners these days, although you have to remember that the title of this thread is, "when are you lot gonna stop listening to moontenced and get into proper stuff?" It wasn't just, "hey, here's some good stuff". People don't like it when someone tells them what they're into isn't 'proper'. There was the hint of an insult in there.

Which is odd coming from someone who was actually in a METAL band. Hell, we only listen to the stuff.... When you were our age Danny, you were just the same (old man :p )

But while I'm here, might I add Simon and Garfunkle to the list of good stuff? They were playing emotional and depressive music long before Anathembride knew what music was....;)
 
I'm going to see Paul Simon/van morrison/blind boys of alabama play a fest this weekend...thats real music that...none of yer mersey beat moptop scruff

I'm gonna wear my voivod t shirt and scream "tornadoooooo" between tracks...just cos I don't know nuttin about proper music like...it'll be boss
 
ok sorry everyone. esp. russell. i got a bit carried away there as i do sometimes. i'll get the guinness in when i see you.

i wasnt really talking about you with that doom fan comment. like i said, lets just drop it and calm down (you tellin me t' calm dowm? eh eh eh...)
i wasnt saying metal is crap. on the contrary, i love what i always loved and i wouldnt play what i play if it wasnt fro slayer/metallica and all them. but alot of it now is the same old formula with the same chords (and in europe, keyboards and a girl singer are obligatory) and i just find it all rather uninspiring. now you got better taste than to JUST like that shit so fair enough.
 
must admit i listen more to the classic metal like Maiden,Sabbath,Dio,Priest etc-always have done,always will.I used to be well into Paradise Lost and was into the thrash scene esp Sabbat and bands like Testament,Exodus etc-i suppose things changed for me in the mid 90's when i got more into non metal stuff but was still always into my classic metal stuff-now my hair is longer than ever-still love Anathema-10 years a fan now:)

Been to see Opeth and stuff like that who were cool but the metal i really like is still the stuff i grew up with and Maiden have always been my fave band:)

BTW can you give us examples of some "overrated" bands - I'm just curious.
so, not to bother with all the dark tranquillities and other unmusical riff-engineers, let's settle on a hugely overrated band (that, sadly, did have ideas): Emperor.
 
we'll just tell them that anyway...

"anathema said you are shit , and also said you were soft as shite and that they could do you AND your roadcrew any day of the week"
 
now unless i'm mistaken... bambi put some really funny quotes in this thread that i wanted to reply to, now have i got the wrong thread or HAVE THEY BEEN DELETED?.if they have i fail to see why. mega can you please respond to this and tell me if they got removed? because i was thinking bambi seems one of the funniest people in the forum and i was gonna ask if i know him/her or not.
