@mezookeewee: although I agree with your taste concerning Nordic bands (and European ones in general), I think it's a matter of taste. When I see a CD by an American band, I'm sure I'm not gonna buy it, so I don't even bother looking at what they play. However, this does not mean that American bands are inferior to the European ones, it's just that there seems to be a clear difference between the European metal (mostly, though not totally, influenced by Nordic bands) and American metal. Still, there are lots of folks in Europe who favor brutal death (Deicide, Napalm Death, etc.), hardcore, etc., i.e. the trends that perdominate in Americas (I put it in plural 'cause this also includes bands like Sepultura, Soulfly, etc. that are originating from Latin America).

@zlo: True. But I'm not saying I don't like American metal. They have some killer stuff, like Iced Earth, Killswitch Engage and Fear Factory. My thing is, American metal just doesn't seem to have the epic, operatic kind of tones that I like. That's why I think Nordic bands are better.

*Shakes head at Esqy* Didn't even notice I had those listed.

OK I gave my two cents on the thread, but please, Esky, all is fair and well, but I gotta get this off my tongue:

Will you please stop doing things like:

Arrrrrgghhhh!!! Not another one!!!! We have a SEARCH function fl2003! Try using it! See? Look what I found;
I not trying to nitpick on you but to me its getting rather a nuisance, I know its not done intentionally by you, but could you please tone it down a bit??

Further, not to flame you, but pronouncing something as Spam, or proclaiming it to be will only invoke it, "it" being a discussion on whether it is spam or not, resulting in flaming and so on, with the result of 1 thread demolished by one proclamation, the elders on this Forum have seen you around alot longer, and don't get me wrong we all enjoy your presence at this forum, I know I do, but the "young'uns" can react rather infuriated to that kind of statements, with all kinds of flames and spam to the consequence, and that all because of one "poo-poo" ()

also I would be glad to listen to your defense on the matter, and how you feel about it, but please for the benefit of this thread and discussion, mail me, don't post em in here. Thank you, I knew you would understand

Final - You missed one .

Loc - Very well, I will email you my "defense" against your spurious accusations .

Edit: Email sent.

By the way, upon further reflection, I must agree that I was rather undiplomatic. fl2003, I do not apologise for chastising you in my post, but I do apologise for the the manner in which I expressed myself. I had a *very* bad day (again) . Damn real life issues *grumble*.

I like classical some of my faves there are Vivaldi, Dtraus, Beethoven, Bizet, Verdi, Rosinni, Anton Bruckner and so I can go on forever
other faves include but is not limited to: Ray Boltz, Don Francisco, Michael Card, Scott Wesley Brown and then most gaming music

Post Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:17 pm

ooo i didn't know you like Bruckner? do you like "Heligoland?" that's my fav but then I have a weak spot for the symphonic poem.

have you ever heard any Villa-Lobos? he's Brazilian, and his music is Latin inspired of course, but in effect (sweeping musical landscapes and swelling themes) he's very much like Bruckner, or rather I like him for the same reasons i like Bruckner.

I'm amazed you didn't mention Wagner, shoorly he'd fit right into your list? I saw Parsifal at Bayreuth in the mid-80s, god it was wonderful. I was in pure rapture.

btw I'm a big fan of John Taverner's Byzantine polyphonies, but I get the sinking feeling that I'm prob the only person here who does. When I first heard "Akathist" (nearly 15 years ago at Brompton Oratory) I thought it was the very voice of God manifest on Earth, I'd never heard anything so moving and beautiful.
