Taking Sides: Mayhem v. Burzum

I thought it was just a slight adaptation of what you said.

Well, I'm stealing it anyway!

Regarding trendiness. I find it is trendy now to be anti-trendy for sure. Also, sadly, it is trendy to be trendy to be ani-trendy. This is most regrettable development. For clear example, one need only look at black metal message boards, where people wish each other Merry Xmas! Even if this is so-called irony, I blacken their names each in my heart.

Of course Euro was gay and deserve to die. Also he jilt Varg, in whom he had relationship, it was lovers argument that went horribly wrong. As spurned lover was Varg. They argue over cover art, so I am to hear from true sources. Euro desire to depict pig vomiting blood, Varg think this is too trendy.

About Varg and his opinions, who cares? Just like like satanism....it has nothing to do with the music. Music is music.

PS Byzantum rules

Didn't one of their fans once get knocked out by a flying pigs head at a gig a few years back?

mayhem played in sweden?

(Incidentally, nobody ever gave 'The Dowager Grisnacht(mrsv@metalmommas.com)' or 'PeopleFunnyBoy (asanisimasa2005@yahoo.com)' much deserved ROFL credit for their respective 'Dear Vargy' and 'Varg Pitchfork Review' jokes upthread).

i like the rawness of the 'live in leipzig' record as well

and that 'de mysteriis dom sathanas' record has 'from the dark past' which is classic

i never really got into burzum

so, i'll side with mayhem

Indeed, one more death in the wheel of meat that is existence, what of it?

Great post.

Why is it all you people do is complain bunch of bickering women non sense!

My verdict: Varg Vikernes is responsible for black metal to became trendy, something that I strongly detest!

xD

I wish Vikernes talked like a pro wrestler about himself: "What the Count thinks is that Norweigan culture has a purity to it that needs to be preserved, and that's all the Count has to say about that!" And a punch line by which to indicate that he's finished with his thought, like "Black metal....brother!" or maybe "Soul power!"

Troll power! Although I once saw him suddenly denouncing all trolls and elves.

Murder over petty bullshit pertaining to a small, insular music scene most people don't care about is so completely emo. Varg is an utter idiot, but the first few Burzum records are pretty monumental.

^^ that

there's also a great name for mersh black metal upthread that I hadn't seen before: "pinkmetal"

Ordo ad Chao is too good not to demand some response from Varg I'd guess

While I don't agree that Varg is an idiot, he has certainly done a ton of extremely retarded shit. Does this take one ounce of shine off Filosofem for me? Absolutely not.

No, it is definite that he has intelligence. However, who brags on the number of amplifiers they are hauling, as if your album is now better for it? I am tired of hearing this discussed, for Filosofem. >_<

"I could go on and on exemplifying how ludicrous this book and the theories of the authors really are, but I have better things to do." - Varg

Yeah, like making license plates?

Anyway, I have always liked Mayhem (maybe my 10th or 15th favorite black metal band), never bought Burzum (though I've heard and liked Filosofem). I just never wanted to give that guy any of my money. It's the same reason I own all the Emperor albums except for ITNSE. But now that I know that Varg owes Norway 33 million Kroner, I think I could safely buy some of his records and know that the money was going to build new churches and support the Jews after all.

that Burzum record sales are funding church building is the best thing ever.

For the record, the above is an assumption. But it's a funny idea if it's true!

Please! Vikernes will not be paying even 50 øre, probably.

How could he legally avoid it?

Think: what is to happen if he is not paying it? Go to jail? >_<

Nerrrr, they just take the money out of the royalties from his record sales, before he sees them. HA HA VARG U R Christian Church funder.

Hihi, yes, he is selling so many of "Dauði Baldrs." As I was saying, 50 øre as a top estimate.

"Illa Tiðandi" - uff da, real top ten single. XD

You see what I am meaning, though!

talkative sockpuppet is talkative
