TheHaze Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 No. I've seen them live four times and yes, they are absolutely horrendous. They are nearly as bad as Lamb of God, who I have seen live twice. Most American bands cannot pull off screaming vocals. Not only that, but the bass lines never blend with the drums, or even create any sort of ambiance. The lyrics usually suck as well. If you really want that type of music, look elsewhere for bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Trivium (heh, they're American), Dry Kill Logic (also American), Eluveitie, The Haunted etc. Gothenburg bands seem to have a solid grasp of this style. Most of the American hopefuls are merely generic-jammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Chimaria is fucking terrible. Saw them in Cleveland in June before Dethklok, worst shit I have ever heard in my entire life. All their songs sound exactly alike, a bunch of talentless garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 If you really want that type of music, look elsewhere for bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Trivium (heh, they're American) Considering that I came very close to hitting Matt Heafy in the face at a gig we played with them before, I think I will pass on Trivium. That kid is a dick. I have seen Chimaira 3 times live, and I don't have a problem with them. I have not seen Lamb of God live yet, but I was hoping to. I guess there is no accounting for taste eh?

I'm sure they're all talented(minus the singer), but I do not think they make good music, especially live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I completely agree with Randy 100%. However, when it comes to music, or any art, there is no accounting for taste. It's all opinion. Back to Shinedown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
