1. Haha djöfull er nett að hafa HIM myndband á áhugamáli sem hatar HIM. Ég er að tala um Wicked game myndbandið. Er ég sá eini sem finnst það gott? Meina okay, þetta er ekki sick þungt, þetta snertir aðrar hliðar í manni. Mig langar að heyra skoðanir ykkar á því að þetta myndband sé þarna í Klippur.

2. System of a down.
Mér finnst System of a Down virkilega góðir. Er það bara ég eða er fólk hér á /metall almennt frekar biturt út í þá? Bara út af því fólkinu finnst þeir “Nu-metal”?
Mér finnst helsti munurinn á þeim og t.d. Slipknot eða Korn liggja í textunum… System eru ekki með sjálfhverfa texta, þeir eru að tala um the Armenian genocide og pólítísk málefni. Þeir eru að búa til bíómynd um the Armenian genocide, sjáið:

Þeir eru reyndar í pásu; hef heyrt að bassaleikarinn ætli að stofna hljóðfærabúð, gítarleikarinn ætli í aðra hljómsveit, ekkert heyrt um trommuleikarann en heyrt að söngvarinn ætli að einbeita sér eitthvað að SerArt og Serjical Records.

Anyway. Til að vitna í Wikipediu;

System of a Down has been labeled as “nu metal” by some fans and media since their incarnation. This can be attributed to the release of their first album, which occurred during the “nu metal” boom of the mid-to-late ‘90s, though they’d actually been making music and touring before nu-metal had been created. The song structure is also arguably done mostly conventionally.

Those who disagree with the nu metal label argue that System of a Down feature guitar riffs strongly reminiscent of those found in thrash metal. There are guitar solos on every album and the drumming tempo doesn't rise above the midtempo range of the chorus and bridges. The lyrics deal mostly with political and social issues or just pure randomness, rather than personal issues. In addition, some people do not consider System of a Down nu metal due to the band not using turntables in their songs.

Others believe that System of a Down's genre and song structure varies by song and album so one label can not be used to describe the band.

Guitarist Daron Malakian has said in a Guitar World interview that he is glad System of a Down has not slipped into the nu metal genre. During a 2005 concert, he announced, “They used to call us nü-metal, now they call us prog rock. I think they'll call us anything that's popular.”

In a 2005 interview with the Houston Press, Malakian said, “Lately, we've been doing interviews, and people have been like, ‘You guys are really leading the way for the new prog movement,’ and I'm like, ‘What?’ Because a couple of years ago, these guys were comparing us to Limp Bizkit and Korn, and now that we're still here and those bands aren't, they're talking about prog. It's just kind of aggravating that people always have to have something to compare us to, or bunch us up with. I'm not saying we're the most original band in the world, but I don't really feel that we fall into a heavy-metal category or a pure rock category. There's a lot of stuff mixed up into one.”

My point: Hatar þú System of a Down? Bara út af því að þú telur þá vera nu-metal?
