Hrm...I wonder how people get off with saying a band sucks unless they actually know something about music. And unless everyone who's going "Nightmare sucks" are musicians, =P to you. And really, are a lot of you just saying this because they went mainstream?
I thought they sucked the moment I first heard one of their songs. I might not be a musician, but I can tell what's pleasing to the ears and what isn't.

Really, I sat there and listening to their stuff, somewhat blocking out Yomi's singing the first time through and just taking it from a musicality standpoint. If you ask me their musical skills aren't TOO bad. I've heard better, but I've also heard a lot, lot, LOT worse that I can't stand.
Sure, bands like Cure or Skull are worse where it sounds like they're just hitting things, not playing instruments, but Nightmare isn't really much better.

And really what the hell is up with you guys bitching about Yomi's singing? He really isn't that horrid, a couple times I've heard him try to hit notes outside his vocal range which he really shouldn't do 'cause it's out of tune then, but when he's inside his range he sounds fine.
His voice is really annoying. I can't really find the right words for it.. he's really just not a person that should singing.

For some reason, I'm really starting to think you people think they suck just because they went mainstream. Ok, maybe Ruka isn't the greatest drummer ever, but you have to admit he's entertaining to watch, and isn't that part of what bands are, being fun to watch at live shows along with sounding good on CD? It's not like they sound bad people.
They're fun to watch.. offstage if that counts.

. .well of course you're also talking to the jazz musician who can listen to happy hardcore, which gives my other musician friend a headache ^^;;
I like happy hardcore too... but I still don't like Nightmare. <
biggrin
