I myself went through such a phase of blatant fanboyism about 10 years ago, when my life was dominated by Metallica. And to be honest, I find it embarrassing now, and I don't like being reminded of it.

I went through that 7 years ago with Korn. Yes Korn, I loved it to death. And honestly? I'd like to go back. Right now I'm a blatant fanboy of good music in general. I love how it can affect my emotions so much. Infact, this morning I pryed myself out of depression with Lunatic Soul and Tesseract and what a day it turned out to be

Keep arranging those twelve notes!

I used to be a massive Dimmu Borgir fanboy...

You wouldn't tell us were you really embarassed especially when there's nothing to be embarassed of. The Dimmu guys sure have some kind of talent in their own style. I used to like'em too.

About Metallica I'll have to agree with y'all. Their lost me as well, though it was they who put me in the great Metal Road in the first place.

And about experimenting different musical styles and "softening" your music, just look at Devin's work and developpment. He went from crazy/sick/heavy/death metal to quiet and peacefull love songs trough Country music, gypsy, oriental themes, pop music, rock music, blues and God knows what else. But he always did it with his guts and you can feel that in every single song.

I think in the end that's what's catching us all here.

And I totally understand how Things after Things feels because I feel the same way. I hadn't felt this way since the Sepultura or the Fear Factory times and that was like 15 years ago. It feels good to be a fanboy within a certain limit of course, though I spent nearly all the money I had to fly to Finland just to see the Z show.

So, YES, indeed thank you Things after Things for sharing your feelings, and thank you Dev for all the good moments!

Make it perfect! cheerios
