Comments on: JUMPING DARKNESS PARADE: EYAL ON LINE-UP CHANGES http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/09/01/jumping-darkness-parade-eyal-on-line-up-changes/ IS FOR LOVERS Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: d00shc00gr http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/09/01/jumping-darkness-parade-eyal-on-line-up-changes/#comment-305850 d00shc00gr Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:02:49 +0000 http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=20124#comment-305850 Let's be honest: a lineup change only REALLY matters if the departure/addition involves a change of: 1) primary writer/creative controller (like Cliff Burton or Isahn) 2) signature "sound" contributor (like Ozzy leaving Black Sabbath) 3) signature "image" contributor (think if Slayer had lost Kerry instead of Dave. MUCH bigger difference) 4) overall band talent Nobody REALLY cares that Death's lineup changed between every fucking album, because as long as Chuck was doing his thing, the "image" "sound" and primary writer stayed the same.

That album is criminally overlooked, it's the first album my dad played for me, still love it today. I think their sound did change, they had more of a rock leaning with Brian as opposed to a rock n roll sound with Bon, if you know what i mean. ACDC are still great, but they lost something with Bon's death (RIP). THANK YOU. That album is criminally overlooked, it’s the first album my dad played for me, still love it today.

Eyal seems to have very similar musical tastes to mine. Even down to my fav Dimmu albums. I'm also a huge Opeth fan and agree, they're so different without Martin L and Peter, but they're still ... genius. This is due to Mikael being the primary creative force in the band, IMHO. I'm also a big TBDM fan, and never understood the haters out there (I've met a few out there). I'm glad to hear Kevin T is still in DAATH. I recently saw DAATH in SF and asked Sean Z why Kevin wasn't there, and he said he couldn't come on the tour. Whatever is going on, hope everything is OK! Heh.

And it's interesting, because for me it has nothing to do with Sammy sucking. I don't think he sucks at all. He's got a killer voice, but his joining Van Halen caused Eddie to stop writing so many killer riffs. I have no idea why. Of course, being Eddie Van, he still wrote plenty of killer riffs, but I can't help comparing them to all of the Dave material, and they pale in comparison.

It all happened for the better though. They formed in 1981 and Phil didn't come until 1987. If Phil never joined, Pantera wouldn't have made it where they've gotten to. Before I found out that Mike did the vocals on The Hinderers, I was really bummed when I heard that Farber left. I thought that was the end of DAATH. As far as Opeth goes it's like Porcupine Tree as long as Mikael Akerfeldt/Steven Wilson are in the band it's good since they both write 90% of the music. The first time I saw Opeth live was last year with High on Fire. They put on an amazing show despite Martin Lopez and Peter Lindberg not being in the band anymore. If Mastodon had any lineup changes, it'd be detrimental especially if Brann and Brent left. Eyal have you heard the new Mastodon cd, Crack The Skye? It's changed drastically from their last cds but I love it. Also since you're from Atlanta are you friends with Mastodon? Pantera didn’t always have the same lineup.
