Members Locky Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 But god damn it they don't have the worst screamer I've ever heard. I mean its the same note and same tone, for a whole songs every songs, save for the occasional melodic chorus. How they hell did they make it as far as they have. Everyone other part of the band is cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JimAnsell Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 What the hell is so great about that band? i've seen them live twice opening up for bands, and every time i've walked to the back of the bar a few songs in because they're {censored}ing boring! everything they're doing has been done to death a million times over.

Members soc_monki Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 i like em...they have cool solos, sure the screaming gets old but he sings pretty good also, so that saves him IMO. songs are good IMO... oh well, everyone likes something different...

Members AgentOrange Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Originally posted by oddone i cant stand that band period. nope, me neither.

Members DirtyBird Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 If by great, you mean generic, then yah, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudnine Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Trivium suck. I saw them live with Bodom, and the lead singer was terrible. People think they're the {censored} cause they have guitar solos (oOoh!) but it was comical to see the lead singer {censored} up all his solos - full of clams and out of tune bends, and I could tell having never even heard the solo before and try to look all badass, telling the crowd to "bang their heads"! Generic garbage engineered for the metalcore masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hotcakes Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 I like them for what they are. Which is nothing groundbreaking. They are better then a lot of the newer stuff. And if they did think outside the box at all, people would find a reason to hate them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members insurrection Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Number 1: They're all young as {censored}, what the hell were you doing when you were 18-20 Number 2: The singer screams/sings while playing all those riffs AND solo's, live Number 3: You're comparing this band to bands that have been around for years and are very experienced. You need to look at it this way; for their age, the talent is through the roof, and the singer does actually have a pretty wide range of screaming, it depends on what show you go to wether or not the band is at their pinnacle, being so young, live shows are hit and miss. I know the guys, met them a LONG time ago on the road, great people, great talent, and they're just kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DirtyBird Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Your defense is that they're kids? A lot of bands put out their best material when they were "just kids".... that's hardly any excuse... everyone from Van Halen to Sonata Arctica.... you act like most modern metal guys are in their 30s by now...

Yngwie was 19 in stealerEVH was 21 on VH album 1Metallica/Slayer guitarists were 19Vivian Campbell 20 on 1st DioTed Nugent 14 with amboy dukesCacophony Becker was 17Warren from ratt was ~20Ronni Le Tekro was 20 on 1st album and only played guitar 5 years. He started at 15. I heard that straight from his mouth on an instructional cassette/tab book I have of his. Yea, it's old so it's on cassette.etc etc... All I'm saying is in the 80's most guys where young as {censored} and fully established already. I'm not knocking Trivium, I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudnine Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Ed was 23 actually But it don't matta! DLR had this thing about wanting the band to tell people they were 2 years younger than they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel I have to defend them, they are a good {censored}ing band. I was making it aperant to the poeple who don't know that they're all 18-20 and haven't been at this long, where they are now is an accomplishment in itself. I just don't understand why people complain about music - if you don't like it don't listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregCrowe Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 They need to lose the screaming. Please excuse this comparison............ but Avenged Sevenfold lost the lameass screaming and has made it into the bigtime. I have the latest Trivium CD and think it's fairly decent but agree with the first post here, the screaming just for the sake of screaming is just dumb. The only guy that can pull off the screaming right now in my book is Alexi Laiho and he's even mellowed the screaming out a bit to make it understandable.

Really really dumb band IMO. Amon Amarth was so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny Powers Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 who said that they ARE pushing boundaries, cutting edge etc? no one, so why even bring that up. they do what they do very well, better then most in their genre. like it or leave it, no need to be a hater.

Members dreamspace Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 when I first heard them, I thought they were KICKASS! but they got boring.. really fast too! and now that their vocalist/guitarist is acting like he's the {censored}, I'm only moving more and more over to the hate side..

Members 7 Stringer Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 I`ve seen them live and they where {censored}ing great. There songs are pretty original and i find the solos to be pretty bad ass. I can`t stand {censored}ing coments like "Trivium sucks"....Let`s see you put something better out there:mad: If you don`t like them, fine, just say so, but to say they suck is pretty close minded. Anyway, i like`em. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
