Opeth

You are Opeth! You are very poetic with your lyrics, and your music flows like a waterfall. Your emotions change from angry to sad very quickly. Some people don't like you because you can sound too depressing. You're one of the best metal bands in the world, and you worship your fans!

Sounds like me, other than the depressing part.

It isn't possible to play Megadeth better than Megadeth. If that were to happen I'm certain the universe would implode. John can back me up with the physics.

Ha ha, this is something i want to see, im sure it can be applied to a variety of other contexts as well, such as classing Korn as death metal results in a similar process. Don't fret over it though becuase as I stated, the cover is shit, thus the universe is safe once again.

Certainly. Einstein's celebrated energy-mass relation, E=mc^2, forbids anybody to play Megadeth better than Megadeth. Although Mr Amott has an exceedingly large head to accommodate his ego, it still doesn't fulfil the necessary mass requirements in order to obtain the energy that Megadeth possess as a recording/performing unit. QED.

As for Korn being death metal, they are. In a parallel universe (of which there are an infinite number). Somewhere down the line, Korn made a decision to play nu-metal over death metal - the reverse of this decision is acted out in the parallel universe. The odds are slimmer than Nicole Kidman after discovering bullimia, but there may even be a parallel universe where they are particularly well-respected exponents of death metal. I seriously doubt it, though.

Haha, golden.

Slayer - Angel of Death
Killswitch Engage - Breathe Life

listen to them both, there is a riff on Breathe Life that rips off Angel of Death to a shameful degree. listen to it, you will hear. theres no mistaking it

On the verge of angel of death and 'ripping off' listen to heretic anthem by slipknot, and u can see an obvious rip off, in the double bass drum fill's. and even the tom rolls at the end of it, dunno how slayer didnt spot that one..

Shadows Fall uses the main riff to that song, it come into it around 4:30 i think? I'll look into it later.

__________________

On the subject of ripping off:
There is never a completely origional musician, every musician has influences and they rip off other artists, intentionally or not. If you listen to a certain artist for a long time, you might end up stealing their stuff by accident. If you are a band like Slipknot or even GC (yeah, Good Charlotte) you might rip others off intentionally (Slipknot ripped off many bands at different stages, including Fear Factory and Soilwork and GC ripped off AFI and 80's game music with their latest album). A human imagination cannot create anything new, it can only take apart what it's given and recombine it, it just depends how small you cut the pieces and where you get them from.

__________________

good point BC

__________________

true, it's the elements of your influences that you use, if you use them originally, you won't sound like a rip off. be inventive, creative and you'll be able to pull of something that at least sounds positive.

I agree. I used to get mad cuz I'd write something and when I was done start listening to music and here something that sounded only slightly like it and then I'd be like "DAMMIT!" and scrap the whole song. Now, I think if it has emotion and makes me want to thrash, then screw what it sounds like, I'm using it.

__________________

no, you dont get it. listen to the two songs i mentioned. its like IDENTICAL, cept Slayer's came out 17 years before KsE's..... i agree though BC, in full. but come on. change the tempo or something for fucks sake.

its fun somtimes to write a song in other people styles. i have original songs but when i got the new CC album i wrote a song CC style song and i have also written a slayer esq song

Not really. It can be very interesting, true, but it's not a shortcut for understanding yourself. If you do end up feeling you've better understood who you are, it's likely no different than 'going native,' that is, it just describes the culture's seductive pull on you regardless of any prior connection.


True, but it's pretty easy to tell, in you own writing, when an influence is shining too strong, especially if it's a very strong influence to begin with. It's pretty easy, if you're writing seriously and not just putting down every riff that comes to mind, to cull out the good from the obvious. In any case, there's a huge difference between a rip off and riffs with a strong influence. Crowbar does nothing to hide its Black Sabbath influence, but I'd be hard pressed to find a riff there I'd consider a rip off of Iommi. Don't worry to much if a riff sounds like it has an influence from somebody else; worry if it sounds like a riff that somebody else discarded. Or even one that person used. 'Influence' still sounds like you; 'rip off' sounds like somebody else.

AND NOW, A NEW RANDOM TOPIC!!!!!

My friend's dad was tellin' him when he was in school and they had gym, him and his friends would bring in boots and have a boot fight. They'd put one boot on there hand and hold the other one. Then they'd go in to the locker room and turn out the lights and start wanderin' around with the arm with the boot on it out in front. As soon as they felt somethin' WHAM!!!!

I don't know if it's true but it sure is funny.

On a differant note, what do you think of this supposed "RR V" case. IMO it looks like a cracked out case.

America is your 'mother country.' It has a culture. It even has its own special branch of a language. I understand the point you're making, but it's wrong to completely ignore your own culture, then look to other countries in your search for this 'lost culture' that's only lost because you discarded or discounted it. That is not maintaining culture. I agree that it's good to look into your roots - I've been to all the places my ancestors fled from to come to America - and it's even good to trade up if you find a place your prefer to your homeland, but it's idiotic to pretend you don't have one because you're America.

Though you are, I believe, from Upstate New York, so it's unsurprising that America would look like a cultural wasteland from that viewpoint.


I'm sure you don't mean that.


Most European countries are also mutts, they just have to go back further. There's not much that can be said for absolute cultural or racial purity.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they usually spectacularly annoying? I suppose this one's less so, based on your enthusiasm.

__________________

I dont understand baseball I've seen lots of movies about baseball usually with one old guy that once was good at it and another young guy that later becomes good at it. But I dont understand it. There is this one guy that throws the ball at the other guy and he like punches the ball with the bat? Are they even on the same team? If they aren't on the same team then why the heck doesn't the thrower just throw the ball in another direction? and if they are in the same team than he should definanatly try to not throw it so hard so there are more chanses on the other guy hitting it. If he hits the ball than he just throws the bat away and starts tunning like crazy in circles?
And then there is this another guy that runnes after the ball no matter where it goes (in the movies he usually jumps on the audiences at least one time) and tries to catch it with this freaking humongus glow.
And finally there are to guys that just stand behind the guy with the bat in this crazy costumes so that the bat guy wont knock them out if he hits them instead of the ball? wft are they even doing there? I know one of them catches the ball if the bat guy misses and then the other one yells out some shit. That guy is usually fat. And I dont know what team they are in either.
And why the fuck are the baseball fields so stupidly shaped? why not just box-shaped like normal sports? The costumes are also pretty ugly mst of them. They all have some stupid stripes on them that really makes them ugly and they tuck theyr fucking pants in theyr socks.

That beeing said, I think we should eliminate baseball. It's ugly and no one understands it (well at least I dont understand it)

Yeah, it also depends on what you consider is annoying: makeup talk, hair, shoes, clothes, and men. Or if she is just pulling my chain and tells me she wants to hear what metal is like, I'm totally fucking game. But I see where you're coming from and I have talked to some that have been kinda bitchy, but I seem to have an abilty to hide any annoyances. I deal with it by sort of trailing off thought and then laugh ever once in a while to make it look like I care. But when the conversations turn gay or something, I'm careful to keep my mouth shut.

I'll put it in "iceland" rules.

there's two teams.

polar bears and sasquatches

polarbears have first "hit"

the sasquantches go to three icebergs. 1st second and third
The sasquantch in the middle throws a big fucking chunk of ice
and the polar bear tries to destroy that motherfucker. he gets three misses, then back to the missus. But if he hits it, (and it's strong ice) he runs like a bat outta hell to the first iceberg (in hopes the fucking thing didn't melt with the "supposive" global warming. if it didn't he runs to second. If it did, he goes to the next green peace assembly and bitches.......
now where was i?

101 Rules of Black Metal

1. Don't be gay.
2. Be "true".
3. All people who aren’t "true" are gay.
4. Be grim.
5. Be necro.
6. Be simultaneously grim and necro if at all possible.
7. Break things while being grim and necro.
8. Don't have fun at concerts. Stand around with arms crossed.
9. Repeat all above while denouncing organized religion in any form.
10. Never ever, EVER under ANY circumstances...
11. ...Listen to Peccatum.
12. When someone asks you if you enjoy the music of Mayhem, point out that you only enjoy the music of "the true" Mayhem. Maniac is gay.
13. Don't play with fuzzy things, excepting that by "play" you mean "burn".
14. Don't be Dani Filth.
15. Never, ever, under any circumstances utter the phrase "Kenny G slams, man."
16. Don't be Dani Filth.
17. When your mom tells you to take out the garbage tell her that you're too metal to remove refuse.
18. Run for it!
19. Sodomize a virgin whore.
20. Sodomize anything that is not male. (Fuzzy things look out!)
21. Make sure your album goes out of print about 3 years after its release... so it becomes 'cult'.
22. When in doubt, say "True Norwiegian Black Metal!"
23. If that doesn't work, blast beats can fill any silence.
24. Turn any cross you find upside-down.
25. Nipple twisting is not a blackmetal activity..
26. Write a cult, underground, grim and necro zine. Feature only interviews with bands no one has heard of, even "true" blackmetallers.
27. Never ever, EVER, EVER be open-minded.
28. Never write songs less than 15 minutes long and containing less than 15 adjectives in the title.
29. a) paint face. b) go in woods. c) act like troll.
30. Don't be Mortiis (or Dani Filth).
31. Don't wear white shoes after Labor Day.

33. Don't make jokes.
34. When in doubt, scowl with eyes downturned.
35. Don't eat Marshmellow Peeps.

37. Make sure that no less than half of the musicians on your album are "session" members.
38. When in concert, always growl names of songs so that they are imperceptible. This will ensure that anyone who doesn't have your "cult" LP won't get it.
39. Never play live.
40. When getting ready to go to a show, completely forget that the other people there are not going to the show to look at you.
41. Use barbed wire whenever possible. (Note: this assists in being both "necro" and "grim".)
42. When asked by a non true BMer what BM is, say something like, "BM is the raw essence of pure black evil in man", in any case, make sure that by the conversations end, the other person still has no idea what black metal is.
43. Drive one of your band members to suicide, and claim he died because of the "mainstream" "infecting" the "scene".
44. Reform with "old members" and release an album intended to produce commercial success.
45. When it flops say that you meant it to fail cause anything less wouldn't be "true".
46. Have a side project. Ensure that all other members of your band also have side projects.
47. Fill out the other slots in your other member's side projects as "session" musicians.
48. Record everything in the same studio with the same producer/instruments/equipment/etc.
49. Make sure your album cover never consists of more than three colors (color options allowed: grey, black, white).
50. Publicly state that your band is "non-religious", then use the word "Satan" over 400 times on your one-song thirty-minute album.
51. Never stuff your shoes to make them appear puffy and avoid the wearing of backwards baseball caps if at all possible. Red ones in particular.
52. Insist that music should never progress and that it should still sound the same way it did 9 friggin years ago.
53. Never say "friggin".
54. Never finish anything you start.
55. The word "Hail" is the only appropriate greeting whenever greeting someone "true".
56. If feeling especially true on a given occasion, try "Infernal Hails".
57. All logos must include illegible writing and at least one inverted cross and/or pentagram. This is non-negotiable.
58. When referring to sex with a Metal Chick use only the terminology "sticking my clouded frost-spire into her gates of attrition".
59. Design complex logo for your grim black metal band on binder paper in the middle of math class.
60. Accept every interview you're offered...then pretend that you really don't enjoy being interviewed.
61. Thoroughly enjoy Star Trek: The Next Generation.
62. Wait... scratch that last one. (See rule 1)
63. Never divulge to any outsiders the Exact Day of the Divine Arrival of the Massive Hoof. Instead, inform them that they should be ready to suck the Dark Lord's greasy @#%$ at any time.
64. Use the phrase "suck the dark lord's greasy @#%$" whenever possible.
65. If you ever find that you have somehow become a member of Hecate Enthroned, be sure to piece together a music video of scrap footage of yourself walking around in the woods at night looking evil. Only, instead of being night make sure it's the middle of the @#%$ day, and instead of looking evil, look dorky instead. (See also: rule 1)
666. Own hundreds of black metal albums, demos and bootlegs. Listen to approximately 8 of them regularly.
67. Humping a ceramic Virgin Mary in front of your uncle's house is not "pimping it" (unless you tell her you're done then blow in her face like a shotgun when she turns around).
68. Refrain from using keyboard smilies when communicating via the Internet. Single acceptable smily: -(
69. Why isn't the word "Northern" in your album title yet!? Get to it! Amatuers...
70. Spelling things correctly is neither grim nor necro.
71. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!!
72. No matter where you're from, pretend you're from Norway and therefore 'true'.
73. Don't be Dani Filth. (I think that's clear)
74. All pets you own now will henceforth be known as "Crucifier". Any pets you own in the future will also be known as "Crucifier".
75. True black metaller: "Many of our dark hymns are influenced by the mighty Tolkien... You have not read the works of Tolkien!? Nerd. Wait a minute... It appears I am the nerdy one after all!"
76. @#%$, I'm talking to myself again.
77. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!!
78. That's better, on with the interview!
80. Create inverted crosses in all possible instances. Suggested tools: Drum sticks, twigs, pool cues, pencils, etc. (See also "clouded frost spire")
81. Profess publicly that you are a Satanist and add that you are in touch with Norway's ancient Pagan past. Pretend that somehow those two facts make sense in conjunction.
82. Stick your dick in the mashed potatoes.
83. Don't make Beastie Boys references.
84. Don't make references.
85. Satanus. Huh huh huhuhuhuh.
86. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
87. If possible, design the title of your album so that it consists of three completely unrelated words. Dimmu Borgir are the master of this (i.e. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Godless Savage Garden) but you may also want to refer to Immortal's "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism".
88. As we all know, women have no place in the homoerotic world of black metal, but if your girl friend still won't stop bugging you about wanting to be involved in your band, give her a lame spoken word part or something.
89. Never form a band containing you, your wife and/or girlfriend, and some gay looking guy. (See also: rule 11)
90. Go to bed when your mom tells you to.
91. If it's rare, it must be good. Order it immediately.
92. I will not add that as it is not metal enough.
93. Are you metal enough to be reading this?
94. Own every Darkthrone release. Listen to exactly none of them.
95. Own cult-as-@#%$ shirts of bands you not only own no releases of, but also haven't even heard.
96. Use the phrase "cult-as-@#%$" whenever possible.
97. Attempt to randomly throw the word "@#%$" during random segments of your songs. (Kindly refer to Attilla's work on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.)
98. In order to make your recording more incomprehensible and therefore more "cult", be sure to either select a singer who has only a tenuous grasp on the language to be sung. (Acceptable languages: Norwegian, Latin, Orcish.)
99. I'll tell you what your album lay out needs...Some titties.
100. And you know what else? How long since you acted like a troll? Pick up that makeup and fight, soldier!
101. You mean to tell me you read this whole thing when you could've have been prancing about in the forest with an axe? For shame! For shaaaaame!!
