Yeah, but on the other hand, not being your bag doesn't mean it won't happen, either.

It's not like we're talking about a gaggle of hacks here; I wouldn't say that Children of Bodom are up on Dream Theater's level of pure musicianship, but they're still damn good, they've toured extensively, built up a solid fan base the hard way and their music is accesssable to people who aren't musicians.

Barring an unforseen breakup, they're not going anywhere and whenever they do eventually split up, their fans aren't going to stop listening and I doubt new fans will stop getting into them.


[QUOTE=killerqueen]but anyway i dont want to argue (peace is the only way forward :D )with anyone, i was just giving my opinion...

And likewise, I don't want it to seem like I'm coming down on you but, personally, I enjoy discussing my differences with people.
