look, im not saying dimmu is great, all im saying is that they have more talent that britney spears, and so deserve more respect.
and they can certainly play better than the pussies in trivium.
now, read this whole thing before you respond - i dont want to contend with someone who only read half of it and misrepresents my argument.
and how did they sell out? i mean, as i said, selling out implies a change in sound to what is popular in mainstream culture. their sound did not undergo a huge change, and it most definitely doesnt sound like nickelback or hawthorne ******** heights. just cuz they sell merchandise doesnt mean they sold out - in fact, the bands usually get very little revenue from album sales, and if they want to make a living playing music they have to sell merchandise and tour extensively. trust me, good black metal bands like satyricon are not making a living on just album sales
im not saying that they are great. im not even saying theyre good black metal. there are a lot of BM bands that are better than dimmu - gorgoroth and satyricon both come to mind. but there are also bands that are worse than dimmu, bands that are actual sellouts - cradle of filth comes to mind.
you guys are portraying dimmu as if they are the scum of the earth, and all i'm saying is that they aren't. you have the right to not like them, but dont go around saying they have no talent when they have infinitely more talent than you hear on the radio these days.
