no shit insulinsucker but the vocals are comparable, and diamond's are probably even less accessible than dane's

^ Sorry, King Diamond pwns Nevermore royally. I've actually been a fan of KD and Mercyful Fate longer than Dream Theater.

They are pretty much the only band from the states doing someting special. Warrel Dane is possibly the best lyricist (one of few bands that i'll bother to read the lyrics) that metal has and Jeff Loomis is awesome.

LOL, King Diamond sounds like a demented witch. I have also met the guy and he is a total bell-end. Nevermore urinate on King Diamond from an infathomable height. His vocal range is poor (compared to Dane) and pretty much sounds as if he has someone constantly pulling at his tiny gonads with a pair of pliers.

But i will admit the Andy LaRoque is a tremendous guitarist.

...and if were talking about metal in general and not just thrash, then i would say that im still a huge fan of Type O Negative, but they really struggle to make albums regulary enough (and they are old news these days anyway). Which is a pity IMO.

what is remotly special about nevermore? care to fill me in?
good lyricist? mayhaps you should read more band´s lyrics...
and loomis??? sure, he comes up with some cool riffs, but playin diminished arpeggios disguised as solos for three records is definitly *not* awesome...

Compared to Dane's, yes i think he has. Diamond just shrieks and whines. All top-end.

Your responses are so predictable its untrue. Poor frustrated little man. I have never seen you make a positive post about anything, all you do is slate everything about bands or peoples opinions and never actually say anything comprising praise. I have never seen you say that something is actually good. I suppose this is due to some insecurity of yours, that if you state that everything sucks, you cannot be criticised about anything. So its a safe bet that you will never have to defend yourself or be flamed.

I feel sorry for you, what a coward you are.

"it is teh suckfest, are you retrded rofl!!"

Yes. I find his lyrics very interesting, the man is clearly well read and his songs are often about intellectual topics compared to a lot of metal which is just about hatred / murder / blood and guts / dragons and wizards / zombies and other things of an absurd nature.
Loomis sounds awesome to me and that is all that matters, i do not care about the technical aspects of his soloing.

I post in the now playing thread quite a bit actually

btw I like nevermore a lot

I am not a big fan of Nevermore (vocals, predictably) but I can't think of a current American metal band that I'd prefer. If you count Tool as a metal band I probably listen to them more.
