Status : Offline | @Fnord Let's see. You are addicted to tea. You are addicted to puzzles. I think I know your secret identity! (I go from loving tea to not being able to stand it, but I never refuse a good cup of rooibos *_*)
Oh, that is not too far off the mark (I love his hat, by the way).
Rooibos is my evening "tea" (as it contains no caffeine, though technically speaking it is not even tea). There are kinds of tea that I don't like, like lipton's Yellow label tea (it is horrible!), but most kinds of tea, in particular green tea, works.
Oh, you're Swedish? Do you listen to Viking and Black metal? We were all meant to be British, but not all are worthy... Nope, I try to live in an entirely music free environment (not always possible, but one can at least try). I'm almost ashamed to admit that I had to google viking metal in order to find out what it really is, and what sets it apart from other forms of metal.

| Deleted User | Well, you shouldn't fell ashamed, if you're not a fan of metal. But are you an anti-christ? I'm not accusing you or anything, just wondering. Since, I got the impression most Scandinavians are. Not that I judge you for it. You have all those anti christian bands like: Dissection, Dark Funeral, Abba, etc, etc... Not that they are shitty or anything, but some take the image too far... Way beyond Venom or Bathory could ever imagine... It's the music what is the most important to me... And you have many posers forming around bands like that(I mean the first two, not Bathory, I like them)...

Status : Offline | Atheism is quite common here, but actual anti-religious movements are not. I've never heard of Dissection or Dark Funeral before, but Abba is not anti-christian, in fact Agnetha Fältskog (one of the singers) participated in a few events that might be seen as relatively Christian themed.

| Deleted User | Really? Kind of disappointing... But no one's truly religious these days anyway... They are both Swedish bands.. Strange, I thought they were uber popular there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEVodXzNmPM This is Dark Funeral... Did you hear of HammerFall at least? I'm more of an Yngwie Malmsteen fan anyway... Did you hear of him?

Status : Offline | I can't actually hear the difference between the different "growling" bands. I know of hammerfall, but I could probably not tell the difference between them and any other metal band of that type. Metal is relatively popular around here, but not so popular that everyone knows about the major bands.

| Deleted User | There are good and bad metal bands... Some focus on the image, some on the music... Lot's of bands sound the same, that is true.. But those are not good bands... Good bands have soul in their music... Not just empty words and distorted guitars... Hear Dream Theater or Megadeth, for example. Both great, but very different... And, even if metal, on of the, or the most complex music genre can sound the same, what to say of pop, rap and things like that? For me, the only music worth listening to is metal and classical music...
