Pirate MEHTUL!

[Doc Sigma]

Green Carnation is absolutely, positively, one of the best bands ever.

IAWTC.

Signed.

[Arloest]

You listen to Green Carnation?!

[Rooster]

Are they like Green River, Green Jelly, or Green Day?

[Doc Sigma]

You listen to Green Carnation?!

I guess it has been awhile since we talked. Yes, yes I do.

[Arloest]

Are they like Green River, Green Jelly, or Green Day?

None of the above. Dey ist here.

And the great thing about Green Car Nation is that they also do sweet acoustic stuff, like this.

Also Doc, do you listen to Symphony X?

In fact just name all the MEHTUL bands you listen to.

In fact everyone do the same.

This topic is now all about MEHTUL.

Angela (or anyone I guess), if you know that I like a band but forgot to list them, just say so and I'll edit the post.

[Arloest]

Muse

I wanted to note this earlier, but I forgot! Oh well.

That is the first time I've ever seen someone categorize Muse as MEHTUL. I mean, hey, I <3 Muse, but MEHTUL?

I still think you'd like Dark Tranquillity, too.

I also have Muse, Nine Inch Nails and Evanescence, which Doc listed, but I don't really consider any of them MEHTUL.

[Ibun]

Here's mine.

Ayreon
Green Carnation


Also how is Opeth remotely MEHTUL?

*completely ignoring all the other non-MEHTUL bands up there*

[Arloest]

Since when is Opeth NOT MEHTUL?

I am confused!

Also last time I checked you liked Edguy, Blind Guardian and Avantasia.

Opeth is pretty much prog rock. Maybe a little MEHTUL shows up here or there; but definitely not all the time. EDIT: Though the vocals could easily be considered MEHTUL-y. Especially the growling and such.

And yes I do like those bands you mentioned, as well as others; but I was shortening it to what I have been listening to recently.

[Rooster]

I would have said that Opeth are more MEHTUL than Ayreon dude.

MEHTUL bands I still like:
Pig Destroyer
Municipal Waste
Lamb Of God
Slipknot
Megadeth
Killswitch Engage (early)
Napalm Death
Slayer

"Over the past decade, Opeth have evolved into one of the most distinct sounding bands in MEHTUL music. One of the most daring bands death MEHTUL has ever seen, the Swedish band, led by guitarist/singer Mikael Åkerfeldt, shattered the rigid constraints of the genre, most notably with their highly acclaimed 2001 album Blackwater Park." Popmatters.com

"We’re still a MEHTUL band." - Mikael Akerfeldt, Opeth's frontman.


In conclusion I think you have gotten it backwards! Opeth is a MEHTUL band that sometimes uses non-MEHTUL elements, not a non-MEHTUL band that sometimes uses MEHTUL-elements.

And Roo is correct in saying Opeth is way more MEHTUL than Ayreon is.

Who's the music prick NOW.
