Oh man. That avatar is hilarious. The irony!

Edit: Khar, I tried that song out. Interesting... the lead singer sounds straight out of bad hair metal (The Darkness wishes it was this bad...) compared with what sounds like death metal lyrics. Enh. Not my thing. As a trained vocalist, I have trouble really liking the yodel-singing done by hair metal lead singers. It works for its genre, but it's not my thing.

1: This is REALLY not hair metal.
2: I'm willing to bet Messiah Marcolin has had more vocal training than you.
3:Okay, you want severe pretension? You don't want 'yodelling'? Arcturus - Alone

Wow, that Arcturus band is awesome, thanks for introducing them to me, KharBevNor. Do you know any other bands that sound like that?

Man, I quite like both those bands, and I'm kind of fond of NIN. I must be one of the most annoying people ever. No wonder that guy beat me with a metal toilet seat last week.
I don't actually get the whole "Dream Theater have no emotion to their music" thing, but apparently a lot of people think the same thing, so I guess they're just a damn extreme example of "a Take it, or leave it" band. And I think I am pretty safe against the whole "Petrucci fanboy" syndrome, because I seriously do not know what the hell tremelo picking is. Apparently it is one of those things that other fans jerk off to, because it is the thing he does better than God. I still maintain the best reasons to listen to Dream Theater are the goddamned honky tonk keyboard solos
Also, Khar, you forgot Rush fans. We Rush fans are also obnoxious jerks as well. I just thought I'd point that out while you're crushing my soul

Try Borknagar, Vintersorg and to a lesser extent Ulver (hit and miss that you'll find something quite like that from them. Not hit and miss that they will be consistently awesome).
The post-black metal scene is generally just awesome.

Those bits piss me off because they're just in there to be different, it seems. It's like when people dress up crazily, and it's obvious that they're doing it just to get attention. I die a bunch inside when everybody fawn all over them. I will contend to my dying day that the best reason to listen to Dream Theater is James LaBrie, the singer. I seriously want to have his children, and I don't even care if that's possible. Even discounting how high he goes, he has such an incredible control over his voice, the vibrato and everything.
