chimaera needs strippers on stage to keep people from leaving while they play
honest question.... are you homosexual?
sigh...
chimaera are hack jobs. it's bad enough that they steal every lick they play from 90's metal bands like pantera, fear factory and sepultura, but they also use sepultura's tribal logo. they just replaced the "s" with a "c". look it up. they're like a metalcore godsmack. i can't believe anyone still listens to them.
so...i guess i should ask you the same question.
weird. The reason I don't care for Chimaira is because of their singer. He is horrible and has no range, the band however is somewhat talented.
I think Chimaira rulez, and for the longest time I couldnt stand them, then I saw them live, they put on a decent show, but thats not why I asked him if he was gay, I was just curious...
Now I'm confused. Who said metal was dead in the 90s?
u did d00d you said if it werent for Pantera Metal would have been dead in the 90s
Your twisting my words around. I said it was in a vegetative state (very much alive, but you had be a metalhead to know that). If you knew where to find it, it was obviously there. All I said, is Pantera withstood the mainstream downfall that metal as whole pretty much did. It's not a hard concept to understand. I'm not even calling them the best to come out of their era. Im just saying, if you asked the average person at the time to name a metal band, they would've probably 80% of the time said Pantera. That's just the way it was. You don't have to give them credit, but they were what they were.
This was perfectly said, and I couldnt have said it better myself. This is 100% the truth. We didnt have the internet, and checking the newspapers for metal concerts was difficult because everything was grunge this or grunge that. You could go and hunt cassettes for a cover that looked cool and then maybe waste 15 dollars of your hard earned money on shit. Knowing where to look for metal in the 90's (especially early 90's) was damn near impossible.

i used to work at sam goody's. when i'd get bored, i would raid the microfiche (lol) for metal releases and special order them under fake customer names. after 6 weeks, they'd just put the albums out on the shelves. we ended up with a ton of (at the time) rare metal like neurosis and at the gates. i was all uber-proud of myself. problem was, metal was so dead that nobody bought most of it. everybody liked cheesy manson or cobain wannabe music. i went back when they were closing the store 3 years later and most of the albums i'd ordered were still on the shelves.

I am pretty into them, but not sure if you would be. They are like progressive death almost to the point of melodic. The first album is much more interesting and musically diverse then their second... I seem to prefer their second album (Monolith) more though according to itunes stats. Definitely worth your time checking out IMHO
EDIT - don't get me wrong... these guys arent melo death. They just have some good variance to their tunes.
