I don't think I should be injecting in an arguement but I just can't help it. Jaden, he's not insulting your age, but the way you generally act in threads. Or at least, that's what I think. But I have to agree that, while you just express opinions, you generally go out of your way to insult other peoples while doing so. Be it in a condisending or up front way. Probably the most extreme example of you going out of your way would be this. It was in the parody power metal song thread...

You're right about the worthless opinion part.
If it was a joke or not, you still looked like an ass saying that. And Here's one from the best/worst thrash vocal thread. It's been resolved, but the immidate impact is still there.

Worst vocalists:
1. That guy from Between the Buried and Me
I'm sorry, but you sir do not know shit about vocals.
Firstly, I AM a vocalist, and second, I have seen Between The Buried and Me live. He is freaking awesome.
The deep growl he does is not easy. It's much harder than screaming and most growling. Hitting that low is hard. Pushing it as much as he does, and still holding it is even more impressive. The higher scream is also very good and well controlled. He is better than 90% of screamers/growlers out there. And having seen them live, I can assure you he hits every note perfectly. The band itself is perfect live.
His singing is not phenomenal, but it is not bad either. It's better than most clear vocals I hear in metal or hardcore. It is really good on Mordecai however. And he also pulls off his clean vocals live without any variation.
And, I looked through Valefor's posts, and I don't really see him attack anyone's point of view like you do. I see no hypocrisy.
I will have to line up behind Zefferon and Valefor, though the last comment about the vocalist actually holds truth. It only the way it's presented that irritates me to no end...
