Korpiklaani Kilpi Ozzy WASP Twisted sister Popeda Sonata arctica Altaria Once again from the forum rules: > 10. With listing topics, tell us also why do you like that "XXX is the best". Of course you don't have to write a whole novel about it, but just give as at least your opinion in few words. That shouldn't be too much asked from anyone, since listing names after one another is not a discussion.

I listen to really many kinds of metal music, from black metal to folk metal (or "metalfolk") and I also love classical music, Tshaikovsky (it seems that that can be spelled in many ways? Which is the original one?), Mozart and Chopin are one of my favourite composers. It's just amazing what geniuses can do with an orchestra (..or for an orchestra) and I'm even a bit sad that I myself am not playing an orchestra instrument. In the genre "folk metal" there are a couple of bands I listen to. I like (of course) Korpiklaani, Finntroll (especially the old material with Katla rocks!) and Turisas. And I'm constantly searching for new, interesting bands. Let's move to black metal. Immortal, Dimmu Borgir (black and black but anyway) & the old Cradle of Filth are great bands. Industrial metal. Something that hits me every time I hear it so hard. The two favourites are Rammstein and Turmion Kätilöt. Both of them do their own things and are great in it. And a live gig from Turmion Kätilöt is propably the best way to get me over-excited, what there can be. I can't describe the feeling of it. Stam1na, Mokoma. I'm not categorizing them. Stam1na's one of the first metal bands I started to listen and I found Mokoma because of the record label, Sakara, the same that Stam1na has. In Stam1na the tricky, thoughtful lyrics (great using of the finnish language!),heavy guitars, great song structures & the extraordinary voice of Hyrde make the band one of the greatest I've ever heard. I could say Stam1na is one of my all-time-favourites and is always ranked in the top of the list. Maybe even as first. I think this would be the right place for Strapping Young Lad, because of Stam1na I started to listen SYL. Great music. I'll continue this some other time, I'm definitely not finished but now the dog needs to get out. And chemistry needs to be studied.. Edit: Let's move on. Sonata Arctica. Again one band that I've been listening to for a very long time and still one of my favourites (again really high on the ranking). The new album might be one of the best ones I've ever heard in my life. Full of tricks, I think there are still some things I haven't noticed yet. This post is getting a bit too long so I'll make it short now. Children of Bodom, eventhough people sometimes call their music "teenage metal", I like it. Again a band that's been one of my favourites for a long time. Insomnium, Diablo. Both really, really great bands, Insomnium of course has an advantage because it is from my home town and you'll have to support them . Opeth. The mix of clean vocals and low growls, beautiful melodies and heavier "headbangmusic" makes Opeth so special. Warmen. And especially the instrumental music. When there are vocals added in Warmen's music, the "deepest Warmen", which I consider to be strong lead keyboards, easily vanishes and it becomes "ordinary" music again. But the instrumental songs are pure excellence. Music that inspires me to play better and better. Then there are of course a lot of bands which I listen to, but I don't list them here now.

Of course you don't have to write a whole novel about it, but just give as at least your opinion in few words. That shouldn't be too much asked from anyone, since listing names after one another is not a discussion.No offence to you or anyone else here but in my opinion it is a little bit too strict here on this board with giving a reason for EVERYTHING you listing.In general I agree with you,if everybody just listed things and never gave a reason why I would find it boring.But I think you can mix it.You are right,listing things is no discussion but it is the question if everything HAS to be a discussion...?IMHO both kind of posting belong to a forum,the spontaneous ones and the more serious that give reasons or can lead to a discussion.Okay,sometimes I also like it to read WHY a user likes song x or band y but I don`t think it HAS to be mentioned. I see it more relaxed.It`s okay if sometimes reasons are given and it`s okay to suggest to do so but if some users don`t do it`s also okay. For me personal it`s also sometimes not easy to give a reason when talking about personal taste or emotional feeling.Sometimes I can say it clear and then I post it.It`s different. And if you are a person who thinks much before every longer posting,always takes some time to post (like I am -and I think other users ,too) and/or maybe are not the best one in english then it can be a welcome complement if you can write something just spontaneously. As I said: No offence, I just wanted to share some thoughts about this subject.

I totally agree with you that also the spontaneous postings can be refreshing and nice sometimes, but the reason why at least I usually remind about the question "why?" in these situations is only that especially these "favourite bands", "what are you listening" and threads alike are usually the ones that namely tend to end up as boring and cold name-drop listings without any real and/or interesting content at all, thus even some words for example collectively of all the mentioned bands together would be nice and preferred instead of "just a band name and nothing more". Many have actually done this slightly shorter way already earlier, thus no even need to tell about each of the bands separately. Doing it this way wouldn't even take too much time, nor that it'd require any too deep analysis or heavy brainstorms about anything at all. In my personal opinion asking the users for writing even some thoughts isn't really demanding nor too strict in the first place, but namely telling them what the forum would simply be nice to be about: keeping up some discussion and sharing even some thoughts that could all be brought to exist without still losing the nice and relaxed attitude and atmosphere. Then of course, not everything has to be discussed forcibly nor that every single matter should be taken under serious analysis and/or examination, but it would just be nice to hear even some thoughts from the others - especially in the threads like this for now - as people here surely have those thoughts in their minds however, so why not to write about them even a little sometimes. Sharing thoughts namely makes this place to live, and bringing out one's mindstreams to the others simply gives more idea and purpose to this board, especially as it's really not that difficult in the end; no need to write a novel, ever, but even some thoughts every now and then really shouldn't be too much asked for anyone, IMO. And if it ends up difficult for someone, then we others help, no problems in that, and certainly no need to be afraid. Simple listings would be ok otherwise, but I guess history of this board has sort of shown that such hasn't worked at least here too well; all the earlier listing threads have namely always turned up more or less boring name-drops without any real thoughts, heart and/or feeling; they've been "cold", even chaotic, and certainly just similar to around 100000000000 other boards' "content", so why not to try something else sometimes and why not to differ from those many others what it comes to the real content of the forums in general. I think this is quite self-evident a point actually, heh. However, at least I've tried to work a lot for making many boards to have even a bit more idea in them during my whole "internet life", and although I may sound strict sometimes, the purpose is good however, thus no bad feelings in any purpose at all, but namely encouraging people to think independently instead of just simple passive receiving, and helping and giving advice always when I've personally considered such being at its place so that people could produce even a bit more content and via that there'd be even some purpose and idea for all to visit this board as often as possible, as I already mentioned there earlier, and furthermore, that people could enjoy their stay via namely sharing those thoughts and feelings instead of just cold and totally uninteresting "non-stop-just-one-word-ok-lol-bye-lolol-kekkk-xiiit" etc. I guess this forum wouldn't ever have been as warm and nice for it's atmosphere at all if people wouldn't ever have written anything else but just listings and alike after another compared to those even longer discussions we've now gone through many times as time has passed; people have got to know each other better and namely that has made it also easier to share some thoughts with the others as well. What it then comes to matters one considers being too personal and/or emotional, I naturally understand that sharing such thoughts may often turn very difficult for many, but in such situations one should always namely mention about it being so for their part with even a couple of words and that's fine then, no need to tell anything more about those things if it really feels that doing something such would be like "stepping on the wrong side of the garden" etc. The purpose is absolutely not to demand everyone to tear up their hearts from their chest so that "we can all see what really lies in there, MWHAHAHAH!!!" No. One can naturally give oneself a try later on and some other time when the moment, feelings and thoughts are really ready for it and when ones mind is better prepared to be opened more for the others, thus no worries or pressure at all. For example, when talking about namely those matters in which at least I myself have a lot of either personal tastes or emotional feelings for my own part, I usually tend to pay more attention to them in general, give them some time to develop in my mind so that I can then give even more time for myself to write about them a bit more compared to those issues that'd be clearly less important or interesting in my own personal and/or emotional level. And of course, if and when there are any matters I consider being too personal or emotional to be shared for the others, I'll certainly never mention about them here at all, heh. And once again, if sharing any deeper thoughts turns out to be remarkably difficult for someone, we others are here to help, no probs. And no offence taken, no worries; feedback is allowed, thus it was nice to read about your thoughts and give some answers for my own part so that the situation with these listing threads would be clearer; now when I think of it, quite many seem to have understood it all having been even stricter an issue than what it really is afterall, but I truly hope that my answers were even close to those that were looked after and which then made the issue even a bit clearer for now, so that sharing thoughts and expressing ones feelings should never be taken too seriously or with any pressure; this is not an army, this is a forum, and we're all warm human beings afterall, not cold machines, thus let's show it as well, help each other when needed, and keep the forum up and as alive as possible as we've done so far.

A simple and plain listing without any content directly after my posting was something at least I consider very impolite, inappropriate and disrespectful, as now I just feel that everything I put on my posting there earlier was nothing but just talking to the walls; people don't seem to care too much about anything for real anymore these days. The title of the thread now fixed to Favourite bands and why?, and every single listing without any further explanations and/or content shall be removed without asking/informing from this very moment on. PS. Truly apologies for my reaction and my decision, no offence to anyone nor that my purpose would ever be to sound like a total prick in all this; I'd only ask for paying even a bit more attention to behaving appropriately towards the others at this board, nothing more; we're all blood and flesh afterall, real human beings with each our hearts and feelings, and absolutely not some cold machines that produce lines of letters without caring about anything or anyone else.

I can understand that you felt that way when you read Voldemords posting and I feel sorry for that.But I don`t want to offend Voldemord in any way.I`m sure he had no bad intentions with his posting.He is new,he did his first postings and was maybe not very attentive related to your long posting.But I think it`s not really bad.I think he will understand your point of view when he will read your explanation.I can understand both sides and I hope it`s okay now for you both. I have to apologize for my part that I didn`t give you a reply although I was the one who started this subject.I read your explanantions with great interest but I was rarely online the last weeks so I didn`t find time to give a longer answer-and I think I can not really give a short one to such a long and intersting posting PS. Truly apologies for my reaction and my decision, no offence to anyone nor that my purpose would ever be to sound like a total prick in all this; I'd only ask for paying even a bit more attention to behaving appropriately towards the others at this board, nothing more; we're all blood and flesh afterall, real human beings with each our hearts and feelings, and absolutely not some cold machines that produce lines of letters without caring about anything or anyone else. That`s really great At least I think that your words were not too hard but nevertheless I find it friendly that you say sorry cause in my opinion it`s basically a good character if someone thinks about his/herself and realizes if he/she made a mistake. You are right,we are all humans with our hearts and feelings and for me it`s important to see and to feel this also on this forum.So I think it`s good that you wrote this feedback to voldemord.If we want to come to know each other (and I think this should be one reason to be on forum) it`s important to say something about the own feelings/opinions. Many have actually done this slightly shorter way already earlier, thus no even need to tell about each of the bands separately. Doing it this way wouldn't even take too much time, nor that it'd require any too deep analysis or heavy brainstorms about anything at all. In my personal opinion asking the users for writing even some thoughts isn't really demanding nor too strict in the first place, but namely telling them what the forum would simply be nice to be about: keeping up some discussion and sharing even some thoughts that could all be brought to exist without still losing the nice and relaxed attitude and atmosphere. First I want to say thanks for taking time and writing this long answer You are right,asking for some explanations is not too strict.I had the feeling that it is a little bit "cramped",a bit bureaucratic if after almost every simple listing-posting comes the questions "Why?".But now I see the intentions behind it and this made me see it different.And it`s good that you wrote about the relaxed atmosphere Sharing thoughts namely makes this place to live, and bringing out one's mindstreams to the others simply gives more idea and purpose to this board, especially as it's really not that difficult in the end; no need to write a novel, ever, but even some thoughts every now and then really shouldn't be too much asked for anyone, IMO. I totally agree with this.No offence to the users who wrote more the listing postings but I think a forum should be something lively and I find it interesting to come to know something about the other users .Okay,here and there some short listing posting are no problem I still think but I think every user can try to write also from time to time something more about his/her favourite bands,songs etc. Cause this is the basic for communication and-as I said-in my opinion this is a reason why we are here. And if it ends up difficult for someone, then we others help, no problems in that, and certainly no need to be afraid. Thumbs up!That`s the way it should be What it then comes to matters one considers being too personal and/or emotional, I naturally understand that sharing such thoughts may often turn very difficult for many, but in such situations one should always namely mention about it being so for their part with even a couple of words and that's fine then, no need to tell anything more about those things if it really feels that doing something such would be like "stepping on the wrong side of the garden" etc. The purpose is absolutely not to demand everyone to tear up their hearts from their chest so that "we can all see what really lies in there, MWHAHAHAH!!!"

And once again, if sharing any deeper thoughts turns out to be remarkably difficult for someone, we others are here to help, no probs. I meant the part of my posting slightly different but this aspect is also interesting.I meant simply that`s sometimes difficult to give a reason for something that is just personal taste-not because the reason is too personal but I think this both aspects are close to each other. Yes,you are right,some thoughts and feelings are too personal to share it one-to-one with many other people.But it`s a good suggestion to write some thoughts more general or to wait some time.I will keep it in mind And no offence taken, no worries; feedback is allowed, thus it was nice to read about your thoughts and give some answers for my own part so that the situation with these listing threads would be clearer; now when I think of it, quite many seem to have understood it all having been even stricter an issue than what it really is afterall, but I truly hope that my answers were even close to those that were looked after and which then made the issue even a bit clearer for now, so that sharing thoughts and expressing ones feelings should never be taken too seriously or with any pressure; For me it was also nice to read about YOUR thoughts and I`m delighted that we can talk in such a good way.That`s the way it should be.On a forum many different people come together who don`t know each other so I think it`s an important and good thing to talk to each other,to give feedbacks or to ask if something is not clear.That`s also the only way to avoid misunderstandings.I learned something new and interesting aspects about this subject and your intentions-so I`m happy that I asked.I also hope that the other users read you posting,too so that they also see that it is not meant in a strict way but that there are good and well-reasoned intentions behind it. I like it if people make some thoughts about things and if people have their conviction and try to bring them up,also on a forum.Maybe some people say that a forum is not so important and why should make so many thoughts about it and give much energy to it.But I see it different.Of course this forum is not the middle of our lives but it is a PART of our lives and I find it good to take it serious,to make thoughts what could be make better or what is is okay,to communicate with each other,to invest some time for beeing here etc. this is not an army, this is a forum, and we're all warm human beings afterall, not cold machines, thus let's show it as well, help each other when needed, and keep the forum up and as alive as possible as we've done so far. Call me a hippie but this are really great words . I totally agree with you! This is the way I like it.Taking a forum serious in some way but without any pressure or something like this.I think it`s important to keep in it in mind that we are all human beeings,not just computers.It`s a big problem in the internet that many people seem to forget that they don`t talk to machines but to real human beeings.I think many people hiding behind theit computers and act totally different than in real live and this is really bad. So it`s good what you said about this forum.I don`t need to add anything

Mussoi: Could you please read the few earlier postings of this issue? What are your favourite bands and why? In here we've also used to give a few thoughts about why something is best for you. Just a few words is enough. Simply listing isn't conversation, as it's already told many times before quite clearly in this topic.

Excuse I am beginning in the forum , is that I would not know to say because that the taste of these bands. I understood that I must have because then he wanted to ask for to sorry all the people of the forum. ;D Since you're new here, I recommend you to take a good look on both Rules and FAQ, which should be read always first before posting the first posts. Just give us a few words why the bands you listed are the best. You can edit your post where the list is. Just few words is enough, you don't have to write a novel about it. Welcome to the board, by the way!
