Death Metal is all about the grunting profanities.
Black Metal is about wailing rabid riffs on the guitar like there is no tomorrow.
To actually listen to Kissing the Shadows by Children of Bodom is to never diss Black Metal again.

CoB would never classify as black metal in my book. I own over a thousand albums, the vast majority of them black and death metal. I think I know a lot about the stuff. The articles say otherwise, I'll admit, and in the interview part a band member mentions that they thought their debut album was "too black metal", meaning they were trying to play death metal. Of course you can hear definite influences, but the expression is pretty standard death imo.
The world of metal is huge and hard to navigate, because the genres flow together and influence each other all the time. Modern metal genre definitions are increasingly about the feelings they're meant to provoke. Besides, genre is a limiting concept. Music is being put in the black metal category these days that hardly even features an electric guitar.
I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just think it would be awful if people thought about CoB as synonymous to black metal. Think about these guys instead, maybe. Hint: You'll all get a kick out of the lyrics.

Let's see. In the unorganized pile of recent listens next to my CD-player the following albums rest:
Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier (hopefully)
Teitanblood - Seven Chalices
Ulver - William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Immolation - Majesty and Decay
Portal - s/t
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
Motorhead - Orgasmatron
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick
Shining - Halmstad
Plus some Waits and Floyd. Yeah, I should probably get those back on the shelves.

Do you like Kyuss? Or any stoner metal in general? What is the public opinion on that genre these days? You own 1000 albums, so I figure you'd probably know the answers to these questions.

I listened to stoner rock like Kyuss way back in the nineties. These days it doesn't do much for me. But I still love Wiseblood (CoC), which is in the neighborhood at least. Also Mushroom River Band gets playtime now and then.

You think it is rad to just show up and badmouth us both?
If I want to talk about my past in public, then I talk about my past in public. I consider it preferable to sitting here, staring awkwardly at the screen and not saying anything... though some would prefer it if I did so there would be less competition for their own blatherings.
That you think we're trying to be impressive just shows you're entirely too full of yourself as to assume your approval is our goal in life.

All up with the Mimsy Borogroves.
Beware the Jubjub Bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch yo.
My new band will be "Vorpal Blade and the Snicker-snacks".
Your fans will chortle rather than cheer. Rather than a mosh pit, everyone will gyre and gimble in the wabe. You come out on stage to another round of chortles...smoke machines, strobe lights, the whole shebang...You stand there, in uffish thought, as a single manxome guitar note is played...and then you launch into a rock opera rendition of the Jabberwocky.
This image is very powerful in my mind.
Aw man this shit is brillig.
Man, FRESHMAN YEAR.
I was in an octet for state solo/ensemble contest, and we performed THAT POEM, put to music. It was the raddest thing. I wish I could remember who the composer was.
I have no idea who originally scored the glee club version, but Tom Waits pretty much made it a moot point with his rendition.
I met Tom Waits. I know him.
I can't tell if the community (split evenly on chubbies and lames) is divided on Tom Wait or on whether they think you're being sarcastic in name-dropping it. Or jealousy.
Tom Waits is basically the guy in the world I would most like to meet. Happy to tip the scale.
