Has anyone here even heard of them? I think they're from Finland. Anyway, it's just a band I listen to from time to time. Hard rock, dresses up like monsters and all the songs are about monsters. I don't know much about their own background or the background of where the music comes from (mythology, etc.) if anything, but I still like them. I'm just wondering if any of you even heard of them. I wouldn't have, but they were at Ozzfest.

No...never heard of such monstrous band! and probably wouldn't like to. What is with this young generations these days, listening to punk, grunge and trash metal that sounds like the roaring of some beast's empty stomach!..lol...Ahh...i guess that's what evolution have for us. Try listening to some symphonic opera etc. Soothes the soul! (Unless your soul has some mutant traits...)

Well, I actually do listen to some classical music as well as stuff like "Sinatra" style and the like. A lot of those crazy European bands though are satirists (see Obdurate's thread on GWAR) and it is a good idea considering that if they go out in public without costumes, no one will recognize them, so they won't have a bunch of metalheads following them around.

I don't actually listen to Lordi but yeah, GWAR's cool
I also listen to some classical (yes I know that's a generic classification of it) but there's a reason that we have aggressive music. Because there's a lot to be pissed about. It's inspiring.

I can understand personal preference, but to dismiss any genre as um, "[sounding] like the roaring of some beast's empty stomach" is a little odd.
I like all kinds of music though, even though I haven't heard every genre. Every genre has good and bad.

Well there's always the generalizations people make about every music type if they don't like it. For rock/metal, it's the whole screaming, death, Satan thing. For rap, it's the lack of melody and all the swearing. For classical, some people just think it's boring. Opera is very hard to understand, especially when it is in Italian, and they scream a lot, too. All of these types, though, have their merits or else they wouldn't be so popular among certain cultures and time periods.

That's right.

And people who are in a band or play instruments should especially listen to different music because it helps the growing process a lot.

well...roaring sounds is not ODD, if piercing all over the face and having ancient cult marks all over the body (and believe me, they don't even know what they mean), dressed up all black so they could look cool, cursing life and world all the time (like life is just some torture cell) using ultra high tech equipment to generate sounds which can on any standard be only classified as SCREAMS!. Now, would you consider that as Music?

Of course, we all have our own definitions on what is Music? (Just as we have of truth), but their are somethings that even common sense can differ to as not compliance with nature. But anyway, if someone is so pissed off at something and want to get depressed even deeper, go ahead, try one of these metal junkies.

And you are right, one has to try different types of music, and personally i do. I've got a good collection from Metal to Opera, and i like them. You see, not every metal band can produce that adrenaline jolt in you. But again just like he said, it's a matter of personal preference! (But come on, there had to be a limit on distorting music...lol)

Well, your first assumption there is that the metal in question is all hardcore screaming with no melody that describes life as a tortured cell. That is not so.

Now I shall go to Youtube and listen to some GWAR for the first time just to make sure they are similar.

Okay...they are actually very different.
