Written by brapp32 on 25.05.2010 at 03:39 Yes, i love 36 crazyfists, one of my favorite bands. But that doesn't change the fact that i dont think they shouldn't be featured on this site, just like slipknot. I don't have a problem with ppl liking metalcore/ nu-metal bands, bc hell, i like some too; i just don't think they have a place on this website. As far as seeing metalcore bands live, wasn't really my choice they just happened to be at festivals I went to/ friends wanted me to go with them, etc.

Written by [user id=4365] on 25.05.2010 at 03:19 Whether or not a band is good or not is not the discussion here, thats all opinion, its what genre they are. the reason metalcore/nu-metal bands didn't used to be added on this site was so that it did not turn into every other similar website out there flooded with only discussion about mainstream bands. As far as me not liking Alive or Just Breathing and "having something very wrong with me", i could say the same for u liking the album. Its an opinion genious.

Written by Uirapuru on 25.05.2010 at 04:41 Nah, don't need to be sarcastic, I mean, someone's death is a terrible thing, but really, who's this guy? I mean, did he change the world of heavy metal music or something, did he leave any influence in this genre? I don't think so, and if he did, it won't be as big as the influence of people like Dio or Peter "Steele" who also died this month, still, this news will get more coverage because of the hordes of silly fanboys of the band, oh well, I don't mean to have no respect for someone who is dead so, R.I.P. Slipknot's bassist, whatever your name is...

Even though I'm not a fan at all, I sincerely hope you R.I.P Paul, even if I have no idea what your face looks like.

What the heck is going on here?  Omfg, May 2010 truly is a metal slaughterfest. Am I the only one who thinks this may not be a coincidence? R.I.P. Paul, I'm glad I at least got a chance to see you live.
